John Linnell & John FlansburghAbout
“Twisting” is a song about a relationship that’s doomed by two people’s lack of shared values.
There are two other indie bands mentioned in the song – the Young Fresh Fellows and The dBs, and the song intentionally borrows from both.
Twisting Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She set your goldfish free
And now she's sighing
Blew out your pilot light
And made a wish
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She doesn't have to have
Her dB's record back now
But there's not a lot of things
That she'll take back
[Chorus]
(She wants) She wants to see you again
(She wants) She wants to see you again
Slowly twisting (Twisting)
In the wind (Twisting)
Twisting, twisting (Twisting)
In the wind
[Verse 2]
She's not your satellite
She doesn't miss you
So turn off your smoke machine
And Marshall stack
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She doesn't have to have
Her Young Fresh Fellows tape back now
But there's not a lot of things
That she'll take back
[Chorus]
(She wants) She wants to see you again
(She wants) She wants to see you again
Slowly twisting (Twisting)
In the wind (Twisting)
Twisting, twisting (Twisting)
In the wind
[Chorus]
(She wants) She wants to see you again
(She wants) She wants to see you again
Slowly twisting (Twisting)
In the wind (Twisting)
Twisting, twisting (Twisting)
In the wind

John Flansburgh:
This piece of farfisa [organ] rock is directly influenced by the bands it references. The Young Fresh Fellows from Seattle are a group whose happy, sad-sack sensibility we probably related to, and the dB’s were one of the great under-recognized bands of the New York scene we starte...
