The Twist

Frightened Rabbit

Do the twist in the twisting outfit
The loose tie with, the loose limp wrists
Lift your dress enough to show me those shins
Let your hair stick to your forehead
(Aah, aah, aah)
Did you blush then, when our hips touched?
I can't tell, we are already red
Am I right? Will you give me the signs
Is that pink mist or just lit dry ice?
(Aah, aah, aah)

You twist and whisper the wrong name
I don't care and nor do my ears (Aah)
Twist yourself around me
I need company, I need human heat
I need human heat
(Aah, aah, aah aah, aah, aah)

Lets pretend I'm attractive and then
You won't mind, you can twist for a while
It's the night, I can be who you like
And I'll quietly leave before it gets light

So, twist and whisper the wrong name
I don't care and nor do my ears (Aah)
Twist yourself around me
I need company, I need human heat
I need human heat

I need human heat
(Extra super very, ha ha extra super very, ha ha extra super very, ha ha extra super very)
I need human heat
I need human heat
I need

Twist and whisper the right name
I'm Dave, if you please
The twist is that you're just like me
You need company, you need human heat
You need human heat

    The lyric at the end is actually 'I'm Dave, if you please' according to Scott.

    I still don't understand it though.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
