Cover art for Twist The Knife lyrics by Neko Case

"You\'ll be my guest. And I\'ll let you stay. Leave me the check. I\'ll pay with the rest of my life." It\'s about a person they met, probably a lover that they regret. A relationship that they began not knowing it would end so badly.\n\nIt\'s about the erosion of self esteem by a lover. It\'s about not wanting illusions, about wanting a catharsis.
