Parody of Twist in My Sobriety by Tanita Tikaram

Drassil

I believe I've now written over 200 of these Knightmare song parodies.

This one is based on the longer version of Twist in My Sobriety by Tanita Tikaram (1988). I've included links to relevant (official) clips where possible. Official audio; lyrics via Google

[Series 4 Quest 1]

All the children need travelling shoes

For adventuring here

Three remain; there's one they choose

To be the dungeoneer

I see you walk, child

To be the dungeoneer

In the clearing where you pause for now

Victory's miles away

I like to think you will not be killed

If you respect what I say

I have a riddle

And also it's my first day

Helen, my name is Brother Mace

Were a thousand ships launched by your face?

Here a tavern monk is what I be

We are sworn to insobriety

[Series 4 Quest 6]

Meeting Dickon, it went very stale

The Etruscan brandy gave me scales

[Series 4 Quest 8]

Late in Series 4 my cards were free

Tim'd smile: I raised a three

[Series 5 Quest 1]

I don't care about the different woods

Dunkley, Wolfglade: same to me

On the logs we play our game

If I win then there's no shame

Look at Sly, I'll defy his scams

Look I've won, I've drawn Rex from my hand

Come on, Hands and have a drink with me

I am sworn to insobriety

[Now to an earlier quest in which a card game is mentioned: Series 3 Quest 6.]

Series 3, the year before, yeah

Time to free a maid, a maid, a maid

Monster's stomach

Soft and porky

You pig out 'til you feel the egg

Pig out 'til you feel the egg

Ross's team, they reached the wizard

Where they answered well

"Just like in the card game," he said

He gave to them a spell

He gave them a spell

Look it's Ross, Gavin, Shahzad, Fu

Look they need to get through Level 2

Though the spell they didn't get was FREE

They used TWIST and got to Level 3

Look McGrew is an advantage

Look ahead: there's Mogdred on the bridge

Then Morghanna and her evil glee

Then dismissed they were from Level 3
