Tanita Tikaram: cantante conosciuta sopratutto per il brano "Twist in My Sobriety" del 1988.
Tanita Tikaram passó la sua infanzia nella cittá di Münster, dove il padre faceva servizio per l'arma dei militari britannici. All'etá di 12 anni Tanita ritorna con la famiglia ad Hampshire. Influenzata dalle canzoni di Joni Mitchel decide di fare carriera come musicista, qando poco dopo viene scoperta dal manager Paul Charles.
Nel 1988 esce il suo primo album con il brano di successo Twist in My Sobriety, che viene venduto con 4 milioni di copie, e grazie al quale diventa nota a livello internazionale alla sua giovanissima etá di soli 19 anni.
Album seguenti di Tanita non raggiunsero mai piú il successo del suo primo album.

Twist on My Sobriety rimane cosi ancora oggi il piú conosciuto, e forse anche il piú bel brano di Tanita Tikaram!


TWIST ON MY SOBRIETY - TANITA TIKARAM (1988)

All God's children need
traveling 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 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, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig 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
