Blue Turk Lyrics
I'm lazy you know it I'm ready for the second show
Amazing thing growing just waitin for the juice to flow
But you're so very picturesque you're so very cold
Tastes like roses on your breath but graveyards on your soul
I'm hurting I'm wanting I'm aching for another go
You're squirming wet baby nothing bad comin' very slow
And it's burning holes in me
You're so very picturesque you're so very cold
It tastes like roses on your breath but graveyards on your soul whoa hmm
One spastic explosion two pressure cookers go insane
It makes me act crazy I shiver but I love this game
You're so very ordinary you're so very lame
Tastes like whiskey on your lips and earthworms rule your brain
Amazing thing growing just waitin for the juice to flow
But you're so very picturesque you're so very cold
Tastes like roses on your breath but graveyards on your soul
I'm hurting I'm wanting I'm aching for another go
You're squirming wet baby nothing bad comin' very slow
And it's burning holes in me
You're so very picturesque you're so very cold
It tastes like roses on your breath but graveyards on your soul whoa hmm
One spastic explosion two pressure cookers go insane
It makes me act crazy I shiver but I love this game
You're so very ordinary you're so very lame
Tastes like whiskey on your lips and earthworms rule your brain

THis is a nice song - but what is it about? Remember that Alice Cooper was the original shock rocker. I am pretty sure it is a jazzy tune about necrophilia. I have been hearing this o my ipod lately and kept thinking it is about sex, basically, and after the sex the narrator doesn't think much of the girl, who seems pretty passive, and I thought, "Well, he's a misogynist."
But now that I am here and am actually reading the lyrics I am seeing her described as cold, earthworms, lame, graveyards - uhh - I am starting to see some necrophiliac spiel here.
Only "One spastic explosion two pressure cookers go insane" doesn't fit into this interpretation, does it? If she were dead there wouldn't be "two" pressure cookers going insane, would there?
It would be interesting to hear from somebody who had seen this song performed live back in the day as Alice Cooper had quite a stage show - might add some insight.
It depends how you look at it. i think all songs are written openly for people to interpret them as they wish. She could be a pressure cooker if she was boiling inside with magets and worms!

@moik I have 2 pressure cookers...

This particular "necro" themed AC group song is about a couple, both alive, who play a weird game where she plays dead, because it turns them on. "Cold Ethyl" - off "Welcome To My Nightmare" - is also about a couple having sex ...but the girl's not playing.

Yes, necophilia fits. Only ONE spastic explosion but TWO pressure cookers - his balls? Very crude, very Alice! Thanks, moik. Still a weird title.
"Necophilia"! I need a new keyboard :)

This doesn't sound like Alice Cooper now, but still great song to listen to.
This was off schools out. the album was all over musically but it was a very good album. An alice cooper show is something you must see! Even today it is very good as most of it is from his 70s stuff!

@Pink_Floyd_fan - If you are open to "new" music, acquaint yourself with the first 6 albums of The Alice Cooper Band/Group. Many, many styles. Their first WB release, "Love It To Death", actually created standards for SEVERAL rock genres After the clever "Is It My Body?", Side Two explores all kinds of music, finishing with an old Australian folk song. ? Yep.

I've always had this question about the title. What does the title, "Blue Turk", mean? I never heard of the word turk. what's turk mean?
The title's a bit of a puzzle. "Blue" could mean obscene, as in blue movies, or it could just imply post-coital melancholy. Turk is almost certainly filthy - it's usually a verb meaning to have sex. But Turkish means anal sex, so there might be a hint of that meaning, too. Hope this helps. Wonderful song, one of Alice's finest. Love the way it comes down to earth at the end.
I think the title and jazzy feel are a direct reference to Dave Brubeck's jazz piece "Blue Rondo A La Turk". Brubeck's song starts out in a lively 9/8 time and is quite different sounding but by it's middle section it has slowed to 4/4 and features a walking bass line, sax, and piano. At that point you can hear similarities between the two songs. For me it's just an example of Alice Cooper eclecticism. They borrowed from all sorts of musical genres.

@morbid morag - "GREEK" is a term for anal. "Turk" is/was a term used to describe a tough guy open to a variety of experiences. Rod Stewart used the term in "Young Turks" (which really sucks, IMO); street gangs sometimes used the word along with their street or borough/burg to coin their name.

The song was just part of the tale to the Welcome To My Nightmare album. It's about having sex with a dead corpse, Ethyl. Alice has said so himself and it's pretty obvious.
Yep, except that it was on School's Out, not Welcome to my Nightmare.
