Song of the week: Frightened Rabbit – The Twist

I just discovered frightened rabbit via some chatter about their new album ‘the winter of mixed drinks’. While TWOMD is a good album in its own right, ‘The midnight Organ fight’ is a near perfect classic. I’ve been listening to this album virtually nonstop since I discovered it.

The Twist doesn’t sum up the album at all, with its looping piano and electronic-feeling drumbeat, but its a hell of a fucking song.

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

Did you blush then when our hips touched?
I can’t tell, we are already red
Am I right? you give me the signs
Is that pink mist or just lit dry ice

You twist and whisper the wrong name
I don’t care nor do my ears
Twist yourself around me
I need company I need human heat
I need human heat

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 nor do my ears
Twist yourself around me
I need company i need human heat
I need human heat

I need human heat
I need human heat
I need human heat
I need–

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