Twisted Wheel formed in February 2007 in Saddleworth, Greater Manchester by guitarist and singer Jonny Brown and bassist Rick Lees, later joined by drummer Adam Clarke. Frontman Jonny Brown heard the name in a Paul Weller track "Into Tomorrow", where the lyrics say "Round and round like a twisted wheel, Spinning in attempt to find the feel". Twisted Wheel were booked as one of the support acts for Oasis's 2009 Heaton Park concerts.

The band signed to Columbia Records in January 2008. Their first single, "She's a Weapon", was released in April 2008 to acclaim from Radio 1's Zane Lowe, NME and Q. Their follow-up record, a four-track EP entitled You Stole the Sun, was released in July 2008. The band's debut album Twisted Wheel was recorded in June 2008 at Hillside studios in Los Angeles and produced by Dave Sardy.

Lucy the castle, she is my new friend,
L-L-L lucy the castle she will never pretend
Shes a real one, a dancer wants to cause some fun
She's a true bird, a raver, a diamond on the run
We are terrors to teachers or maybe we're just raw
They all try to cook us and scratch us with their paws
While im raving with Lucy I feel like I can fly
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahh

(chorus)
Everyone you meet wants to meet you again
Everywhere you go you leave something behind
Meet the dark souls gonna make them shine
Lucy the castles gonna blow your mind

You dance like a whirlpool suck everybody in
Everyone with their heads down begin to raise their chin
Stare it up and then vanish
Leave them wanting more, as the door shuts behind you, (you head yours up to the floor?)
your my regal and rolls royce, better than the queen.
Too rock and rolla but never in a scene
And if you want to go, that would be the end
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahh

(chorus)

Lucy the castle I found you in a book
You were on every page so I took you from the shop
Now I readd it page to page never stick it on the shelf
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahh
Lucy the castle got to keep it going on
And if you were to go, that would be the end
And if you were to go, that would be the end, the end.
yeah yeah yeah yeahhh.

(chorus)

Lucy il castello, lei è la mia nuova amica,
L-L-L Lucy il castello che non pretenderà mai
È una vera, una ballerina vuole creare un po' di divertimento
È un vero uccello, un raver, un diamante in fuga
Siamo terrori per gli insegnanti o forse siamo solo crudi
Tutti cercano di cucinarci e di graffiarci con le zampe
Mentre sto delirando con Lucy, mi sento come se potessi volare
si si si si si si si

(rit.)
Tutti quelli che incontri vogliono incontrarti di nuovo
Ovunque tu vada lasci qualcosa alle spalle
Incontra le anime oscure che le faranno brillare
Lucy, i castelli ti lasceranno a bocca aperta

Balli come un vortice risucchia tutti
Tutti a testa bassa iniziano ad alzare il mento
Guardalo in alto e poi svanisci
Lasciali desiderare di più, mentre la porta si chiude dietro di te, (hai portato il tuo fino al pavimento?)
sei il mio regale e Rolls Royce, meglio della regina.
Troppo rock and rolla ma mai in una scena
E se vuoi andare, quella sarebbe la fine
si si si si si si si

(rit.)

Lucy il castello ti ho trovato in un libro
Eri su ogni pagina, quindi ti ho portato via dal negozio
Ora l'ho letto pagina per pagina, non attaccarlo mai sullo scaffale
si si si si si si si
Lucy il castello deve continuare a farlo
E se dovessi andare, quella sarebbe la fine
E se dovessi andare, quella sarebbe la fine, la fine.
si si si si si
