Just started listening to my long list of Live songs and on comes TURN MY HEAD, this is one of the most powerful songs i dont listen to enough, and i must say for all the passion and great guitars throughout, i find the lyrics somewhat lacking....

anyone, caught in you mystery
keep it angry
keep it whispy
i've fallen down
drunk on your juices

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

funky temple
your dress is torn to shreds
your eyes are crazy
i bowed to save my head and
i can't forget you
but i remember

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

oh no,
we came to love you all day
these bastards are leavin'
somebody's go to stay
whatever we called you
it's just a name
just a name

Anyone else agree, if someone would like to put the interpretaion foward as well would be great. I love the song!!! the lyrics just dont quite set it emtionally for me say like RTTW does.

I once found this at SongMeanings:
QUOTE
No matter how disturbing this may seem, I tend to agree with the sexual interpretation. I don't necessarily believe it was a rape, but I think the song is about being pressured in some sort of crazy gangbang and feeling guilty about it.

Maybe she was a prostitue or just a slutty aquaintance? Either way he feels guilty for treating her like crap.

"I've fallen down, drunk on your juices" - meaning he was caught up in the moment and did something he normally wouldn't.

I think the last verse is about how when they were finished all the guys (bastards) were leaving and he started to feel guilty... almost apologizing in the last line "it was just a name"


It fits the song allright, but as Leigh mentions even Ed does not seem to know exactly that all that is about. Or at least that's what he wants us to believe wink.gif
