Sunday Downloads - "Turn Me On" by The Grates

Here I go loving another UK song that I can't get in America.  The Grates have a few songs on iTunes, but this is their latest stuff that has not made it over yet.  The video is pretty cool, but the lyrics are even better.

* Update: As of July 10, 2012 this song (and their new album) is now available on iTunes here in America.  Woohoo!

I think the meaning is straight forward, "Turn Me On."

I say "Yes, please. Give me a double."  Hope you enjoy!



Lyrics "Turn Me On" by The Grates

It all started long ago.

We have staples, deep they go,

To a pasture vivid green, 

To a slow moving stream.

I will have you justify,  

Drawing on your baby teeth. 

Swing me lightly. Start my fire, I will roar.

Wrap yourself around me.

Do it, just define me.

Do it to ignite me.

Do it as a friend. 

Any way you want to.

Any way you need to. 

I can hold my breath.

Turn me on, turn me on.

Crawl inside your ancient eyes.

Feel your power, it’s a gift.

Swing me gently. Light my fire, I will grow.

Wrap yourself around me.

Do it, justify me.

Do it to ignite me.

Do it as a friend. 

Any way you want to.

Any way you need to.

I can skew it backwards.

Turn me on, turn me on.

Turn me on…
