Twister

The magnificent structure straddled the river
 As I dictated my autobiography to my biographer
 When I heard this tune
 My title was "Renegade Genius"
 But was interrupted much too soon
 Was interrupted much too soon
 I received this line
 Twister
 From me in Hampstead he received a letter
 I headed it "Dear Twister"
 Up from West Hampstead I visited Keswick
 On permission from the guard
 I begun like this but could not continue it
 When I heard this tune
 (It begun like this but could not continue it)
 My ears were burned
 By this tune
 My head swooned
 By this tune
 Twister
 The train from London on day of lunacy
 Was packed with innocents
 Children tended by walkman'd parents
 Cretins auditioning
 For non-existent parts on TV One
 The train was a tube
 Within the crushing beauty of the countryside
 On the London-Keswick run
 Twister
