A quote by FKA twigs from behind the scenes of creating the music video:
‘Glass & Patron,’ for me, is about using the experiences you go through in your life and using pain and emotional discomfort and putting it back into your creativity. I quite enjoy when people don’t get it. I feel like if...
[Excerpt from "Mothercreep"]
Whisper in tongues
Heal me with your hands
Double knot my throat, mother
Double knot my throat, mother
In words, I lose
Don't be mad
Advocating every second, every minute
To my mind it's so sweet
And I wish you could see it
I'll be home soon
I'll be there
[Verse 1]
Do you have a lighter?
Am I dancing sexy yet?
Are you watching me 'cause I move alone?
Look a little harder
Everything I hold is wet
And I've never tasted glass and patron
I wait all week for a moment's break
Away from being told who I am
So, do you have a lighter?
Am I dancing sexy yet?
I can't wait to make your body my own
[Chorus]
One, two, three
Now hold that pose for me
One, two, three
Now hold that pose for me
[Verse 2]
Do you have a lighter?
Am I dancing sexy yet?
Are you watching me 'cause I move alone?
Look a little harder
Shut your eyes and feel the rush
Will you fuck me while I stare at the sun?
We wait all week to
Hear gods talk
When you've got a front row seat to the stars
Do you have a lighter?
Am I dancing sexy yet?
'Cause I've never tasted glass and patron
[Chorus]
One, two, three
Now hold that pose for me
One, two, three
Now hold that pose for me
[Bridge]
Know what you want, what you need
But only when you're tasting doubt
Teach yourself to rise from ashes built from lust and hurt
You are phoenix, you are fire, you are everything
I just want for you to love you
Your child plays a wicked game
Swallow spartans for the pain
Let her hold him to his choice
[Interlude]
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
Hold that pose for me
[Bridge]
Know what you want, what you need
But only when you're tasting doubt
Teach yourself to rise from ashes built from lust and hurt
You are phoenix, you are fire, you are everything
I just want for you to love you
Your child plays a wicked game
Swallow spartans for the pain
Let her hold him to his
Hold him to his choice
[Chorus]
One, two, three
Now hold that pose for me
One, two, three
Now hold that pose for me
[Outro]
Now hold that pose for me
Now hold that pose for me
Now hold that pose for me
