I wrote this thinking of an early 20th century circus sideshow setting. It's to be sung by the strong man. He's a bit of a chauvanist but in spite of that he dearly loves his Siamese twin girlfriend.
lyrics
Siamese Twin
Two in one
She's my girl
Siamese twin
On the Tilt-A-Whirl
She's got two bodies
She's got two minds
She's joined in the middle
She's one of a kind
She's double the trouble
She gives double the lip
But in our twin bed
We are joined at the hip
Two in one
She's my girl
Siamese twin
On the Tilt-A-Whirl
Two in one
She's my girl
Siamese twin
On the Tilt-A-Whirl
When she leaves me
It breaks me in two
But she always returns
And I'm as good as new
One side's happy
One side's sad
One side is good
The other is completely mad
Siamese twin
She's my girl
Siamese twin
On the Tilt-A-Whirl
Siamese twin
She's my girl
Siamese twin
On the Tilt-A-Whirl
Siamese twin
On the Tilt-A-Whirl

The Painted Hearts have a sound that is like a cross between Bo Diddley and Lou Reed. One of the best bands I know. Great songs. Great sound - Konrad Lenz Konrad Lenz
The Wedded Bliss are a great band with a great songwriter/frontman in Randall Blair. His songs are honest, well crafted and touch a raw nerve. Fantastic stuff - Konrad Lenz Konrad Lenz
The Bodies, fronted by Liam McKahey from Ireland, are one of the best acts in Australia. I've seen these guys live and they're phenomenal. Liam's a first rate songwriter and this record is great. Konrad Lenz
