Twist and Crawl Lyrics
something shows in your face
aren't you forgetting yourself
merely let your mouth stand
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
emotion packed in every tear
emotion mirrors your fears
smile and say hello dear
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
walk into a niteclub
see you standing in there
both your eyes are on me
wonder what makes you care
wonder what makes you stare
walk into a niteclub
all your friends are in there
is that really blond hair?
why don't you play fair,
you could be in Mayfair?
you broke my heart in several pieces
not supposed to be that easy
have to read the books again
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
but you can't hurt me anymore
i haven't got a heart no more
no feelings get in my way
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
did you think that i'd return
emotions all i need to learn
some day you're gonna feel the same
vice-a-versa love affair
vice-a-versa love affair
did you think that i'd return
emotions all i need to learn
some day you're gonna feel the same
vice-a-versa love affair
vice-a-versa love affair
now i've made a new way
now my mind is rearranged
now i can't be sure again
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
are we really happy or maybe just pretending
i can't tell the difference
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
i can have a new face
i can have a new body
i can have a new boy
i can have a new girl
i can have a new world
i can have a new face
i can have a new body
i can have a new boy
i can have a new girl
i can have a new world
i can have a twist and crawl
i can have a twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
aren't you forgetting yourself
merely let your mouth stand
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
emotion mirrors your fears
smile and say hello dear
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
see you standing in there
both your eyes are on me
wonder what makes you care
wonder what makes you stare
all your friends are in there
is that really blond hair?
why don't you play fair,
you could be in Mayfair?
not supposed to be that easy
have to read the books again
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
i haven't got a heart no more
no feelings get in my way
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
emotions all i need to learn
some day you're gonna feel the same
vice-a-versa love affair
vice-a-versa love affair
emotions all i need to learn
some day you're gonna feel the same
vice-a-versa love affair
vice-a-versa love affair
now my mind is rearranged
now i can't be sure again
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
i can't tell the difference
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
i can have a new body
i can have a new boy
i can have a new girl
i can have a new world
i can have a new body
i can have a new boy
i can have a new girl
i can have a new world
i can have a twist and crawl
twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

Holy cow! This is such a cool song. Their very very best...easily. It's about seeing his former girlfriend, after a bad break-up that has left him emotionally unfeeling. And the thought and sight of her makes his skin twist and crawl.
At times it seems to be about the weird emotional/emotionless state a breakup can bring about. Other times it seems to take on an almost sci-fi edge, coming from some AI in a humanoid body who had a bad experience.
Part of me thinks it might be about someone who is generally emotionally detached trying to sort out being in love and eventual rejection.
What does "You could be in Mayfair" mean?
@bulgie It's a double meaning, actually. Mayfair is a fashionable and upscale neighborhood in London. By saying that she could be in Mayfair implies that she has the qualities to mingle with the fashionable and well-to-do.

The other meaning is related to the British pornographic magazine, Mayfair. The implication is that with her looks, she could be a 'glamour model,' wink wink.

@bulgie I don't know if it still exists, but at the time the song was written, Mayfair was an English lads magazine featuring beautiful women in a state of undress.
