Salome (let's Twist Again) Lyrics - Singles - Chumbawamba

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 fits, 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 

(Chorus) 

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 am 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 

(Repeat chorus) 

You tell me 

Where does entertainment end 

And responsibility begin 

Oh Salome waits 

Oh Salome waits 

Oh Salome waits 

She says 'bring me all the heads 

of all the heads of state 

(Repeat) 

(Repeat chorus)
