Turn It Up Lyrics

I woke up weak today and needing your voice
Crawled into the speakers and turned up the volume
Felt so sick today but cured by your noise
My head in the speakers is drowning out volumes

In "Ashes To Ashes" I'm falling falling
In "Ashes To Ashes" I'm losing losing
In "Curl" and "Grazes" I'm feeling feeling
In "Curl" and "Grazes" I'm losing losing

Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on

I dress up bright tonight and needing the beat
Dance into the speakers and max up the volume
Feel so high tonight and moved by my feet
My heart in the speakers is loving the volume

In "Pretty Vacant" I'm jumping jumping
In "Pretty Vacant" I'm moving moving
In "Teaches Of Peaches" I'm speeding speeding
In "Teaches Of Peaches" I'm moving moving

Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on

In "Delia's Gone" "I'll Keep It With Mine" "Birdland" "Clouds"
In "Sous Le Soleil Exactement" "Sunshine Superman" "I Want You" "Ghosts"
In "Some Velvet Morning" "Paper Wings" "Virginia Avenue" "Laura"
In "Summer's Almost Over" "I Walk the Line" "A Night Like This" "Strange Fruit"

In "Hatful Of Hollow" I'm diving diving
In "Hatful Of Hollow" I'm screaming screaming
In "Boys" and "Voodoo" I'm living living
In "Boys" and "Voodoo" I'm screaming screaming

Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on!

it doesn't really matter which songs it is, if one doesn't understand clearly, does it... it is just, it's, it's every song you love; it makes you feel different, makes you feel something, gets you up, gets you somewhere it's all emotions, it is moving into the songs

it's music as soundtrack of one's life

it's so beautiful i can't believe it! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

The song is about escaping the world through music, that is why there are refferences to plenty of older songs in here. As listed by other people. In the beginning line 'I woke up weak today, and needing your voice' the 'your' is reffering to music. The song is simply about escaping life with an obsession, if not addiction to music.

some wonderful person worked this out and put it on sue and the unicorns myspace:

"In Fuck The Pain Away, Penetration, Get Into The Groove, Boys In Give Me Shelter, Kung Fu Fighting, Automatic, White Lines, In I'm a Poser, Smells Like Teen Spirit, the Robots submerge.."

that's all she got to though. pretty spot on.

I think the last one is Virginia Avenue...

but Dee does sing that already...

confused.com!

altho that has helped me massively because i could never figure out what the hell she was saying. cheers! :D

That was me! chuffed

"I'm a poser" could this be "I Am A Poseur" by X-Ray Specs???

ok guyyssss, after lots of reading around and lots of careful listening, my two cents...

during 'in ashes to ashes', dee sings the following:

in delia's gone, i'll keep it with mine, birdland, clouds in sous le soleil exactement, sunshine superman, i want you, ghosts in some velvet morning, paperwings, virginia avenue, laura if the kids are united

during 'in pretty vacant', she sings:

in fuck the pain away, get into the groove, penetration, boys in give me shelter, kung fu fighting, automatic, white lines in i'm a poser, smells like teen spirit, the robots submerge (? i'm unaware of this last one being a song) if the kids are united

References to Peaches and paper wings- this band is simply amazing.

This song is so weird but so awesum at the same time. I dont know wut the In ashes to ashes, I'm falling falling parts mean, but they are cool.

Cover art for Turn It Up lyrics by Robots in Disguise

there are themes from 80's artist's work; David Bowie - 'ashes to ashes' ; Peaches - 'teaches of peaches'; Smiths - 'hat full of hollow' ; Sex pistols - 'pretty vacant' etc

I think that they don't sing 'in poison voodoo' but 'in boys and voodoo', as they're singing song titles and are big on self-promotion in songs..

this song is amazing, the robots are excellent!

Curl and Grazes are both songs by the Sneaker Pimps (Chris Corner's band) - relation there probably? :)

I suggest the following are excerpts from : "sous le soleil exactement", Serge Gainsbourg "strange fruit", Billie Holiday "Virginia avenue" Tom Waits "Velvet Morning" Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood or the Ladytron version of this song "I walk the line" Johnny Cash "In Delia's gone" Johnny Cash "summer's almost over" Cheryl Wheeler? (dixit google) "paper wings" Gillian Welch? "I'll keep it with mine" Bob Dylan? + "ashes to ashes", David Bowie "teaches of peaches" Peaches "hat full of hollow" The Smiths "Pretty vacant" Sex pistols

@Mère fouettard In poison vodoo is a reference from

Prodigy "Poison" and "voodoo people"
