Lyrics:
All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We've just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You peg out 'til you've seen the light
Peg out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

The first time I heard this song i thought my god, how hauntingly brilliant..
All these years after the song still sounds as hauntingly as it did way back then...
A timeless classic.
Total respect to Tanita Tikaram. ✊🙏

Dear Tanita,
Many thanks for being a part of our lives for all these years.
Twist in my sobriety has never become a 'Pop' song for me and probably will never be.
Long-live, love.

[@a.artyom5559]

Я когда эту песню услышал впервые на кассетном магнитофоне у меня появилось впечатление что это поёт певица Шадэ ее тембр пошел искать но у нее нет ! Ретро хиты сейчас словить не просто разве что в интернете поискать Наконец нашел ! Без устали слушаю этот шедевр Жаль что таких редкостных талантов сейчас нет! Борьба идет сейчас на хайп шоуэффект ни грамма таланта как эта певица !Смотрю перевод этой чудесной песни и восхищаюсь !!!

Always, to Tanita Tikaram, with all devotion, great thanks for this song.
Ditto for the album from which it came.
Looks like we lived in a similar world to the time when you wrote these precious songs that perhaps few will ever comprehend.
Say 'hi' if you ever see this comment.

The 4th verse seems to be edited out of this version... for obvious reasons.
Here it is:
"...Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell..." end chorus.
