“Two Steps, Twice” is a danceable, high-energy track off of Foals' debut album, Antidotes.
The track steadily crescendos with intertwining guitar riffs, ritualistic drumming and ritualistic chanting from the band members; the build-up soon bursts into the swagger-filled chorus.
The song itself see...
[Verse]
Sun side, sun, a dance step for two
Sun side, a dance step for two
Sun side, a dance step for two
Sun side, a dance step for two
Sun side, a dance step for two
(Dance upon and learn to swim
Dance upon and learn to swim)
Sun side, a dance step for two
(Dance upon and learn to swim
Dance upon and learn to swim)
Sun side, a dance step for two
(Dance upon and learn to swim
Dance upon and learn to swim)
Sun side, a dance step for two
(Dance upon and learn to swim
Dance upon and learn to swim)
Sunset disco, this is for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-ba

[Chorus]
(Woo!) That's one step, one step, two step
That's two steps, two steps, speed bikes
That's one step, one step, two step
That's two step, dance step, speed bikes
That's one side, one side, one side
That's one side, two steps, speed bikes
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
That's two step, two step, one step
That's one step, two step, dance step
That's two step, dance step, speed bikes
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
Let's swim, let's swim, let's swim this off
