Turn Me Up cover art
/

about

Imagine someone continually suffering rejection, but being dignified enough to accept it and move on. This is his song.

lyrics

I would sooner rouse respect and hatred
Than be affable and mocked and slated,
Just a look can linger longer than words.
Every time I take a risk I fail
In my endeavour as an alpha male.
Turn me up, 'cos I just want to be heard!

You turn me on, then you turn me off with a single cutting word.
You turn me down – forced to cope without a sound.
Won't you turn me up? Because I just want to be heard!

I feel righteous, I feel like a martyr –
I awoke this morning with stigmata.
Turn me up, 'cos I just want to be heard!

You turn me on, then you turn me off with a single cutting word.
You turn me down – forced to cope without a sound.
Won't you turn me up? Because I just want to be heard!

You turn me on, but the thought of taking it further seemed absurd!
You turn me down, and with grace I take a bow.
Won't you turn me up? Because I just want to be heard!

Give me content over style and glamour!
Give me guidance if I pause and stammer!
Stand before me for my final clamour!
