In a 1995 issue of SPIN magazine, it is revealed that "Turn My Head" is a song that Ed wrote at the time for his girlfriend.
"Taylor joins Kowalczyk at the mike for reedy fragments of vocal harmony, and as the gentle strains of "Turn My Head," an unfinished love song to Kowalczyk's new girlfriend, float across the empty auditorium, scattered roadies and arena crew all pause in their tasks listen: "...caught in your mystery... turn my head, it's aimed at you..."
The article ends with:
"He laughs and tells me a line he's put into "Turn My Head" that his girlfriend didn't even know how to react to. "It's cool," he says, "because it sounds so serious, but I'm not sure it's even a sexual reference."
SPIN: So what's the line?
ED: "I've fallen down / Drunk on your juices."
SPIN: And this is on the next album?
ED: "Yeah! The band thinks it's one of our best songs ever!"
So there it is. It's not about a striper (unless his girlfriend was a stripper), and it's not about God. It's a love song.
