In an interview with New Beats, Alison Goldfrapp described the genesis of the song:

It's a sort of sexual fantasy that I had about a boy who worked at the fairground, who I lusted after. He was in control and I wasn't cause I was sat on the waltzer and he was the one that was spinning it around and—I don't know—it's sort of lust, adolescent, awakening, smells and noise and dirt. That's what "Twist" is about.[1]

gollark: Just turtles with lasers which were quite high up, so not very orbital.
gollark: You probably do need to know your actual coordinates to navigate if there's an obstruction or something.
gollark: Also, it being a "set cord" doesn't mean you can magically avoid complex navigation things, although I suppose if you don't need it to come back you can probably just... feed it coords relative to its start position, or something.
gollark: Yes. The docs are awful because ~~OC bad~~.
gollark: Anyway, just because you can describe it in natural language in a few sentences doesn't mean it's something you can *program* easily and simply.
