Salome [Let’s Twist Again]

Part punk, part God almighty
Part fuck you, part Mister X ray Eyes
I didn't choose to be shouting for a living
It happened
Something snapped and I don't know why
Too many slaps? Too many priests?
Fumbled sex in parks?
Or just a part of the me, me, me generation
The Thatcher youth coming home to roost
If the old school cap fit's, wear it
But I'll take my cake and share it
Burning down a bonfire made of teachers
Pay your VAT bills on the cinders
Just you and little Molly Flinders
Doing the twist at all the dances
Don't look to me for answers

(Let's twist again) hear them sing
(Let's twist again) see them sing
(Let's twist again, Let's twist again)
Hear them sing (Let's twist again)
See them sing (Let's twist again)
Bring on the dancing girls

Part sussed, part amateur
Part love you, part mister bleeding heart
I singalonga, jump uppa downa
Watch this space
I've got lungs full of this stuff
Two sides together in the commons bar
Just who the fuck do they think they are
I am not a pop star
I'm a part of the class war
Every revolutionary is motivated by love
I see the newsreels, two hundred bodies
In a shallow grave in Timor
What am I supposed to do? Forget it?
Pretend it never happened?
Whilst politicians circle-jerk 'round
Legal jargon totem poles

(Let's twist again)
Hear them sing (Let's twist again)
See them sing (Let's twist again)
(Let's twist again) hear them sing
(Let's twist again) see them sing
(Let's twist again)
Bring on the dancing girls

You tell me where does entertainment end
And responsibility begin

Oh Salome wait's oh Salome wait's
Oh Salome wait's
She says 'bring me all the heads
Of all the heads of state

(Let's twist again) hear them sing
(Let's twist again) see them sing
(Let's twist again, Let's twist again)
Hear them sing (Let's twist again)
See them sing (Let's twist again)
Bring on the dancing girls
