Alice Cooper - 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

  6. E.... F....

    Catchy song!

  7. w.... l....

    My mom, we were very poor, would, God bless here soul, wound support me during my high school years..I reached to her and asked her to buy me a Gibson SG guitar...cause I was absorbing musical trend from Alice that have been with me through my Masters in Composition...the twin SG band and their music helped me with my education and mature years. Alice's music deserves greater recognition!

  8. P.... D....

    Love this song , Glen Buxton ‘s Jazz contribution.

  9. B.... N....

    Of all the songs from "School's Out" this the one I listen to the most.

  10. F.... L....

    All my youth.... Seems yesterday. Alice Cooper one if not the greatest real artist ever.

  11. A.... ....

    Probably my favourite track on the album. What a band!!!!!!

  12. C.... S....

    I love Alice

  13. B.... H....

    Alice does Jim

  14. C.... B....

    Im sure that Badalamenti nicked some of this for the Twin Peaks 'dance of the dream man'

  15. j.... a....

    Dig that crazy saxman...man! <\M/>

    j.... a....

    The trombone player kills it, too.

  16. l.... j....

    I thought Cold Ethyl and I Love the Dead were the best necrophilia songs but this is the best.

    l.... j....

    This ain't a song about the dead, grateful or otherwise! It's about S-E-X with the living.

  17. C.... A....

    Don't Know what this says about me but I bought this album when it first came out and this was my favorite track even then and still is 👌

    C.... A....

    Yes! Always loved it from when it came out - my mum bought it for me - the pants were a little embarrassing as were the lyrics to Blue Turk - Still my favourite Alice track.... 2 is Dead Babies ..... I have about 12 number three's! X

  18. w.... ....

    I've loved this song for decades! Just awesome! :)

  19. R.... S....

    What's not to Love about this song?

  20. A.... ....

    Oh fudge, I can not stop ranting the high quality of this band made of totally underated musicians.. after more than 40 years I listen to same music and STILL can't contain it,
    how's that for quality.

    Alice got me hooked from i was about 8-9, in 1974 i was 10

  21. B.... W....

    Takes me straight back to the 70s love it...such a different time...miss all you guys..looks like im the last one out...what a ride!!!!

    B.... W....

    such a different time, amen Brad... feels like "my world" still with some common sense and soul intact suddenly transformed by the globalism and its methods putting people down with electronic control and systems forced to no happiness and empty souls

  22. S.... T....

    aint he got style

  23. J.... L....

    this song burns holes in me.

  24. j.... m....

    MY TEENAGE RAGE AND REVOLT I AM NOW A COMEDIAN AND A CARING CLOWN THANKS ALICE

  25. s.... k....

    'one spastic explosion,two pressure cookers go insane!'

  26. s.... k....

    there is so much atmosphere on this track, when you play the vinal[especially if you got a scratchy old original],Ive always loved Alices vocal on this song

  27. F.... L....

    Artistic and instrumental Masterpiece. Trombone Tops

  28. F.... L....

    Masterpiece, alongside Steven and Dwight

  29. R.... J....

    Glen Buxton said this was his favorite song he played on... some cool slinky jazz

    R.... J....

    It sounds like he's having wonderful time playing too.

  30. m.... ....

    The perfect mix of jazz and blues...love it !!!

  31. P.... B....

    Broadway meets rock, with a little bit of jazz and metal thrown in. Today's pre-fab electronic hip hop auto tune bullshit can't even touch this. Real music with real instruments!!!! Long live rock!

    P.... B....

    absolutely !!!

  32. j.... z....

    I'm lazy, you know it
    I'm ready for the second show
    Amazin', 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
    Nothin' bad comin' very slow
    And it's burnin' 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-oh
    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
    Songwriters: MICHAEL BRUCE,ALICE COOPER

    j.... z....

    My favorite lyrics in this song, 1st acid trip, high school, 73

    j.... z....

    You're so very picturesque, you're so very plain, tastes like whiskey on your breath and earthworms thru your brain, if I recall correctly, AND Lovin' it!

    j.... z....

    Oh, plus a bloozy dancin' tune...

    j.... z....

    OOoooh, luv the Horns

    j.... z....

    I shiver, but I loved that game and still alive to dance @ 63! Have hope ya'll!

  33. S.... R....

    My favorite cut on the album. Could you picture an entire jazzcabre from the man?

  34. j.... d....

    When I go to Guitar Center, Sam Ash, or any other music store to try out a bass, I play this!

    j.... d....

    Better'n Crazy Traain.

    j.... d....

    :) greatness my man

  35. F.... S....

    the start of the downfall of the original Alice Cooper group, way too many session musicians...sad.

    F.... S....

    Frank Smith - The beginning of the end was when Alice guest-starred on the "Snoop Sisters". He got a taste of 'Hollywood' and that was all it took. Booze and drugs didn't help keep them together, either.

    F.... S....

    @Lawrence Aransas Pass TX They broke up because they felt the theatrics were upstaging the music.Alice's alcohol problem was not the reason at the time,and he wasn't doing drugs until the 80's.Research before commenting helps!

    F.... S....

    Frank Smith That's an odd way of saying you don't like this song.

  36. A.... R....

    The Doors and Stray Cats meet

  37. K.... W....

    Fantastic track. Alice Cooper does jazz...in his oh so very special macabre fashion. A masterpiece.

  38. m.... ....

    Best love song ever

    m.... ....

    If you love the dead

    m.... ....

    @lancaster jones I'm so grateful for the Dead.

  39. M.... W....

    My mom purchased this album for me in 1974...she had no idea...

    M.... W....

    My m&d "hated" my music but still bought me albums (oh sob, missing them)

    M.... W....

    moms has to be cooool

  40. S.... ....

    I've had this recorded from the album to my Maxell cassette since 1981.... damn straight I did!!

  41. A.... L....

    this is a cool song, expecially the manzarek organ parts

  42. R.... V....

    Glenn Buxton LOVED this one. He got to play some jazz. You play that, you play anything.

    R.... V....

    G.B. with some of his best soloing here.

  43. K.... R....

    This and Welcome to my Nightmare, Killer LP's are all masterpieces !!

  44. T.... ....

    The "oddest" Cooper album... and the perfect one before Billion Dollar Babies.

  45. M.... D....

    Best bass playing Alice ever had! I lucked out and bought this album in 1977 from the only record store in Beautiful Downtown Burbank at the time. I worked there for a few years while I was in Jr. high and got tons of great things,like this l.p.with panties!

  46. T.... W....

    SO JAZZY

  47. T.... W....

    GREAT BASS

  48. O.... B....

    Rules noth ing more needed to say

  49. j.... ....

    D D on the desk is The Great Dennis Dunaway,and my favorite tune from such a Great LP (Your Immortal Dennis) long live Rock-N-Roll :-))

  50. G.... J....

    Funny when I was a kid before I " knew" I'd skip this song because it sounded too much like jazz to me everybody has that song they skip on an album or at least I used to, but it wasn't until I matured more and got it that I saw the genius in this bad little numba. The problem was I hadn't had my heart broken yet I think. After I did then I got it.Then that reminds me of the song Sultans of swing when he says " They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
    It ain't what they call rock and roll"That was me at 13 Lol

  51. j.... ....

    Ohh btw thx for posting this tune :-))

  52. j.... ....

    Dennis Dunaway was such a great musician "god rest his soul " he lives forever to us fans .

    j.... ....

    Alice Cooper band NAZIS... LOL

    j.... ....

    jonnyblade  I was about to say do you know something that we don't. Dennis is alive and is married Neal Smith's (Original ACG Drummer) sister.

    j.... ....

    And Dunaway was touring w/the brothers from Blue Oyster Cult. Blue Coupe is the name of the band

    j.... ....

    Didn’t know he died.

    j.... ....

    I think he’s still alive dude, think you mean glen buxton.

  53. D.... B....

    Trying to figure out how to use this album to teach freshman comp in the fall.

    D.... B....

    Any luck with that?

    D.... B....

    Yes! I am using it in a discussion of coming of age or bildungsroman. An example of coming of age in the 70s and its perfect with our new so called (cant even say it) - Trump

    D.... B....

    Sounds interesting! I wish you all the best of luck with teaching the class...

  54. R.... S....

    Mr. Bernstein's influence was on "Gutter Car and The Jets", on this same album. This song was the AC band and Bob Ezrin, along with a small brass section. Great song, and some great lyrics.

    R.... S....

    you mean gutter cats !!! lolol

  55. C.... D....

    meant to be sexy....the music builds to a peak meant to convey orgasm

  56. M.... S....

    The worlds best garage band. Saw this concert and killer. This is a real departure and a great track no matter what the influence.

    M.... S....

    Me Too!

    M.... S....

    I think The Who, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin were good garage bands, too!

  57. L.... ....

    IT'S THE DOORS FROM THE ALTERNATE SOLAR SYSTEM.

  58. T.... M....

    RULES!!!!!! Nothing more needed to say!!!

  59. s.... n....

    Great Song even though they borrowed most of the beginning bass line from the kinks sunny afternoon and the doors keyboard sound.

    s.... n....

    oh please. manzerek was never this good.

    s.... n....

    @cookie mcbride Neither was Jerry Scheff : )

  60. C.... M....

    cool song. sounds kinda jazzy for AC.

    C.... M....

    It is. Jazzy as heck

    C.... M....

    lots of jazzy Alice Songs.

    C.... M....

    GB loved playin this song. His roots were jazz-based

  61. c.... ....

    Never heard this whole album although I am definitely old enough... enjoying this very much.

    c.... ....

    one of ACB's best records ever

    c.... ....

    My Stars is fucking brilliant

  62. W.... ....

    All that goddamned bass! YES!!

    W.... ....

    Dennis was the best...

    W.... ....

    During the chorus he hits one note that sounds off. Specifically "You're SO very cold" During the "so". But it seems to fit great.

    W.... ....

    Dennis said in an interview that this was the 1st album he used Rotosound round wound strings instead of the flat wounds and he's been using them ever since.....

    W.... ....

    @Rick Via 'Is' - DD's still with us, making some fine music, ^oo^

  63. C.... A....

    Hearing the The Doors

    C.... A....

    Big time. But with an actually bass player.....

    C.... A....

    I'm hearing Alice Cooper. lol

    C.... A....

    I was just gonna say

    C.... A....

    Jimmy Calhoun Black JuJu is basically Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, by Pink Floyd. Also pals of the Coop.

    C.... A....

    But only funkier.

  64. S.... ....

    Elmer Bernstein was involved in this.

  65. d.... ....

    Sexy as HELL!!
