co to znaczy -twist in my sobriety?
There is probably a turn for the worse meaning - a replase....person goes back to drinking. Some people use the word \"sobriety\" when talking about a drugs but most often it\'s alcohol related. Sobriety is also known as \"clean\" time.
>talking about a drugs but most .....when talking about drugs.
From what i remember about the lyrics of that song, it could be about a woman who does not normally allow herself to indulge in a romantic affair (she is \'sober\') but just that once she had this \'twist\' (zachwianie trzeźwego stosunku do życia)
or is it? :-)
Well, the most common application of the word \"sobriety\" relates to alcohol but then again you can go through a sex sobriety period if you were a sex addict before. I suppose you can also bring up a gambling issue as a form of addiction and many others. If you join \"Gamblers Anonymous\" group ( also a rehab place for gambling addicts) and clean up your act, you will have a period of sobriety ... being free from a gambling addiction.

The woman in your song is considered \"sober\" because she doesn\'t want to have sex....? I don\'t know if that\'s the word I would use for someone who restrains himself/herself from sex but if that\'s the way it is in your song then she probably considers it a moment of \"weakness\"/lack of judgement and decides to go all the way.
thank you guys so much!!
Here\'s the song, by Tanita Tikaram, mid-80s

Well?

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 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 pie
For the fun 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
More than twist in my sobriety
I think it\'s a figure of speech and means something like \"you know that the minute I touch you I am all yours and there is not a thing I can do to stop you from taking me\".

?
it means something like \"I am a heart-breaker\";P
