Sunday Downloads - "Turn Me On" by The Grates
June 20, 2012Here 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…

That is a great shout! I'm listening to it now.
ReplyDeleteAnother keeper. I don't think I'll be using it in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteElaine..."it's a great shout." sounds so UK. I LOVE IT. (And yes, it is.) ;)
ReplyDeleteLeslie - HA! Yeah, probably not something you'd share with the kiddos. lol
Great taste in music, Dana! But you'll need to add this to your 'another Aussie song you love' list. ;)
ReplyDeletemcbudd - YES! That Aussie loving list is getting long. I think I need to go there to find more. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove hearing from my friends.♥
