Turn Up Lyrics


Turn (up)
And make it something to believe in
You know you got to
Turn (up)
And make the heart go
(Woah, woah, woah)
I said you go to
Turn (up)
And put your hands where I can see them
You know you go to
Turn (up)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)I set my soul on fire

All for you, my love
And I build a house of dirt and bones
From the ground
You talk it like you needed it all
All your life
If you want it, baby, you can have it all
O, but then you better
Turn (up)
And make it something to believe in
You know you got to
Turn (up)
And make the heart go
(Woah, woah, woah)
I said you go to
Turn (up)
And put your hands where I can see them
You know you go to
Turn (up)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)(Baby, baby)
You'll lose your way
(Baby, baby)
You'll make mistakes
(Baby, baby)
You're gonna learn to fight many days
In so many ways
(Baby, baby)
Ain't no one gonna shake me
(Baby, baby)
'Cause you'll always be my baby
(Baby, baby)
There ain't nothing more I want
For you, my love
If that's what you really want
Must be what you really want
If that's what you really want
My love
I said you betterTurn (up)
And make it something to believe in
You know you got to
Turn (up)
And make the heart go
(Woah, woah, woah)
I said you go to
Turn (up)
And put your hands where I can see them
You know you go to
Turn (up)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)
To keep 'em begging for (more)

The Heavy are a soul-influenced indie rock band which formed in Bath, England in 2007. The band consists of Kelvin Swaby (vocals), Dan Taylor (guitar), Spencer Page (bass), Chris Ellul (drums) and formerly, Hannah Collins (keyboards). According to Songfacts, when The Heavy performed How Do You Like Me Now? on Late Night With David Letterman, they so impressed the host that he asked the band to play some more - the first time that's ever happened on the show.

The band claims to be from the village of Noid, England, near Bath. However, no such town exists in England. "Noid" has been suspected of being a pun on the "No ID, No Sale" campaign in pubs in the UK.

The core of The Heavy are Swaby and Taylor, who have known each other for a decade. Swaby’s parents were one of the first West Indian families to move to Bath. One of eleven siblings, he grew up surrounded by reggae, Prince and Two Tone as well as the hip hop he embraced so fervently. When he met Taylor they bonded over vintage rhythm and blues and the movies of Jim Jarmusch.

Despite starting with an Atari and a four track, the pair soon recruited Corin Dingley/(drums/co production on first album) and Page (bass) and began gigging as a four piece. Perhaps their unique sound is in part the result of coming from a town they describe as “the graveyard of all ambition”.

The Heavy's second album, 'The House That Dirt Built' is out on Counter Records on 5th October 2009. With a background in the joys of sampling and a foreground in scuzzy guitar, bass and beaten up drums, with schizo music tastes and a West Country pace, they’ve been building brick by dirty brick. Now they’d like to welcome you into their beautiful home for a little nose around, a kind of party if you like. And if a little blood gets spilled then that’s just how it is. Nobody said it was going to be a spread from Hello magazine. It will, though, be the best party you’ve ever been to.

'Oh No! Not You Again' starts things off, hitting like the garage-punk monster it is, Shingae Shoniwa of The Noisettes offering up the backing vox on a tune which sounds like Little Richard posssessed by the devil and turned up to 11. Main single, 'How You Like Me Now?' is pure voodoo-funk. 'Sixteen' channels the ghost of Screamin’ Jay into a tawdry tale of Satan and his young bride. 'Short Change Hero' is an epic Spaghetti Western love song calling on the youth to drop their tools. 'No Time' combines a filthy break with thundering riffing about losing the love that was supposed to be forever. 'Long Way From Home' is punk-blues of genuine yearning. 'Cause For Alarm' is a reggae/2 Tone stepper, all crunched up and beaten-up for size. 'Love Like That' is King Jammys updated Final tune. 'What You Want Me To Do' combines the intensity of Hendrix with an obia ceremony. 'Stuck', shows that for all the wide-eyed madness, The Heavy can also come out with the most affecting love songs which effortlessly combine their many influences into something both completely new and utterless timeless.

Mixed and produced by Jim Abiss (best known for his work on the first Arctic Monkeys, Adele and Kasabian) and with Noisettes input on three tracks (The Heavy toured with them and have all became firm friends), 'The House That Dirt Built' represents a huge step forward from an already fantastic debut in 'Great Vengeance & Furious Fire'.

Since then The Heavy have toured the world and, where the first record was sample-based, the new one is much more a product of working as a band. Like the early rock ‘n’ roll, blues and rhythm and blues which have influenced it, 'The House That Dirt Built' is larger than life, funny, terrifying and occasionally beautiful. It is, in fact, a house you’ll want to visit again.
