U​-​Turn

lyrics

We used to be friends,
What went wrong?
We’d stay till the end,
We even wrote songs,
But something just changed,
And all of a sudden...
You’re coming on in with your big bad attitude walking like a lion with your Alpha Male Complex.

Your tears were unjust,
Adjusted to suit,
Lash out if you must,
It puts the cake in your fruit,
Your eyes have turned black,
And all of a sudden...
You’re coming on in with your big bad attitude walking like a lion with your Alpha Male Complex.

You turn and it’s over,
Over,
And you turn into something,
To something I don’t like.

That place where you are,
Gets darker and darker,
A fast fading star,
Hidden in a Parka,
Your hood has come down,
And all of a sudden...
You’re coming on in with your big bad attitude walking like a lion with your Alpha Male Complex.

Will we ever spend,
Another day together?
Or is it the end,
Of this sunny weather?
We’ll write it all down,
One day in a book,
How you came on in with your big bad attitude walking like a lion with your Alpha Male Complex.

You turn and it’s over,
Over,
And you turn into something,
To something I don’t like.

I assessed that I had to go,
In a manner that made my heart rip,
But something took it away,
You were desperate I came to know,
Threw a spanner in and then it all tipped,
And here we are today...

You turn and it’s over,
Over,
And you turn into something,
To something I don’t like.

You turn and it’s over,
Over,
And you turn into something,
To something I don’t like.
I don’t like,
I don’t like,
I don’t like...

You’re coming on in with your big bad attitude walking like a lion with your Alpha Male Complex.

about

Jay Stansfield Lancashire

Original, affecting and a tad bonkers, Jay Stansfield has charmed us with his inventive approach to songwriting.

An artist with an eccentric songcraft, wrapped up in a 60s pop sheen.

He has steadily built a bank of great songs and some amazing videos - in his fiercely independent fashion.

Jay is also fronts British postpunk band ALL HAIL HYENA who can be found here on Bandcamp. ... more
