Genesis - Turn It On Again Lyrics






All I need is a TV show, that and the radio
Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
It's driving me mad just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I, I, I...

You're just another face that I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long I feel you like a friend
Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while
Can I meet you another day and we will fly away

I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
It's driving me mad it's just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I, I, I...

Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face)
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face)
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again

  5. H.... ....

    Sends me back to 1988. "Laser Genesis" planetarium show in Toronto (now long closed up). This song was first on the set list. They projected a huge "eye" with lasers during the "I..." parts.

  6. C.... F....

    There is a darkness in this original, that future performances lost. The song that made me a Genesis fan for life

  7. K.... D....

    Genesis was good. Phil Collins was great.

  8. L.... G....

    Epicccccc......❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  9. C.... M....

    Phenomenal Phill.

  10. C.... E....

    Now that I think about it, with the advent of the internet, this song is far more relevant now then it was back then!

  11. J.... R....

    a monty hall myth
    scott murrays glug bout a fifth

  12. J.... R....

    john taberskis wrench

    south korean gem

  18. J.... ....

    Man, I love when Phil hits that high B "see another face". Damn I love this tune. The outro could go on for another minute and I'd still find it too short!

  19. W.... ....

    This is one of my top favorite tunes from Genesis

  20. T.... P....

    It was the Summer of 1980. I was 15 years old. This album swelled up in the charts. I had no idea how huge it was then. That early spring I caught the tracks but then was on a Canadian Wilderness Trip for the whole Summer. About early August of '80 we got resupplied at the Headwaters of the Allagash River. The van that came to do the resupply had an FM radio. All that was playing was this song, each station and it cemented in my mind that time and place. What a damn fine song!!! I remember the spot. I remember each of us there in Allagash. I remember now how when I play the song through my Henry Kloss Model 2 how incredible those times were. Namaste.

  21. C.... H....

    Just started singing this out of the blue for no particular reason. Then had to hear it.

    C.... H....

    I can show you some of the people in my life!

  22. S.... G....

    It sounds even better Live.Great song.

  23. P.... J....

    its like every genesis song is really good

  24. T.... D....

    First of all the music is incredible, then comes the great lyrics, together that's called a song and this one is great

  25. t.... ....

    Love to see people trying to dance to this track.

    t.... ....

    Even though by this album ..Peter and Steve were long gone the remaining three guys still were pumping out some real GEMS....

  27. S.... ....

    This was their last art rock album.

  28. J.... B....

    Hey, Millennials. If you want to hear the 80's and want to do it with a single band, try Genesis. This was the stuff drummed into us back then, literally.

  48. I.... W....

    Great song!!

  49. R.... Y....

    Listening in 2019. God - they dont make music like this anymore.

    R.... Y....

    They do, it's just impossible to find through all the rubbish.

  50. P.... M....

    Outstanding Bravo.

  51. J.... J....

    I hear this song and I love it. But it does sound like a “warm up” song as opposed to some of the deeper songs by Genesis.. but it’s still genius

  52. C.... A....

    Is wonderfull

  53. S.... t....

    My absolute favourite song by genesis. What a tune

  54. L.... K....

    what was great was they performed this live without any cgi bullshit or effects.
    Just musicians and talent!

  55. D.... D....

    Recorded in autumn 1979.

  56. M.... R....

    I was a morning DJ at Fitchburg State College WXPL in the 1980s and began every show with this song.

  57. S.... R....

    Genesis describing here a phenomenom that got worse 20 years later.

  58. r.... s....

    Stunning composition and arrangement. From prog rock to the mainstream, rocking your radio

  59. m.... ....

    Don't just stare at it Sabrina, eat it.

  60. J.... J....

    genesis is my favorite song,,so nice hug me

  61. R.... G....

    Yea, hell yea, this shit will definitely get u going!!!!

  62. P.... C....

    Phil Collins is the shit, but their brand of magic timeless music wouldn't be complete without Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford! One of the best albums regardless of genre ever!

  63. N.... S....

    The chorus at the end is heavenly.

  64. B.... O....

    It defined the 80's!

  65. B.... B....

    Fucking CHOOOOON

  66. J.... ....

    Genesis has always been one of my favorite 80s Rock bands!

  68. S.... d....

  76. M.... D....

    Joker theme song

    M.... D....

    No it's not I saw the movie. Did i miss it? Or are you just referring to the lyrics meaning?

  77. L.... M....

    classic!

  78. W.... P....

    Najlepsza płyta ,jak dla mnie , fantastyczna :)))

  79. S.... F....

    And this is why Vanna White is worth 50 million dollars. Maybe people should get out more... Have a Great day everyone!

  80. T.... ....

    TURN IT ON AGAIN!!!!!!!

  81. w.... s....

    Some of the songs in the 1980s by Genesis are great but their best work is early albums like Nursery Cryme Foxtrot wind and Wuthering Trick Of The Tale even Trespass 😎

  82. L.... T....

    I don't know what is best, Invisible Touch, Follow You Follow Me, or this song.

  83. G.... M....

    2019 and its fresh and still superb

    G.... M....

    Right?! Love it.

  84. B.... R....

    The best Genisis song in my book!

  85. B.... B....

    Drum Roll !

  86. J.... ....

    John Bonham told his son Jason to learn the drums to this song.

  87. T.... D....

    So disjointed... like I was when I was hired to DIRECT the LOCAL TV NEWS back in 1994....! This song BEATS ME DOWN with MEMORIES!!!
    (All good though!!!)

  88. D.... T....

    Everyone knows nothing Genesis did mattered until they did Duke. Before that, they were too artsy, too intellectual. Although Invisible Touch is the group's undisputed masterpiece.

  89. s.... h....

    Been about 40 yrs. I’m still hooked.

  90. W.... W....

    I know I probably shouldn't say this but.......Thank fuck Peter Gabriel left the band....

  91. S.... C....

    Brilliant.

  92. E.... R....

    It is the rare artist that speaks to all humanity, Phil Collins may God hold and keep you,

  93. E.... R....

    One of the all time greats, if not the greatest artist of the late 20th Century.

  94. d.... 0....

    Wow! Another song on my playlist! Genesis sure rocks! I especially can't get enough of Phil Collin. This band rocks!

  95. s.... ....

    On this day in 1980 {September 12th} Genesis performed "Turn It On Again" on the NBC-TV late-night musical variety program, 'The Midnight Special'...
    The week before it entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #84, four weeks later it would peak at #58 {for 1 week} and it spent eight weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #8 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart...
    And on the same 'MS' show they also performed "Misunderstanding", four weeks earlier it had peaked at #14 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the Top 100 for eighteen weeks...
    Between 1980 and 1992 the Godalming, Surrey, England group had twenty two records on the Top 100 chart, seven made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Invisible Touch", for 1 week in 1986...
    They never had a record peak at #2, but did they did have two reached #3, "In Too Deep" {1986} and "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" {1987}...

  96. D.... L....

    In terms of gifted talent at their individual craft and the production sound it creates
    There is Genesis, Yes, The Police and Rush. Nothing Compares.

  97. a.... r....

    tengo que tener mas de 5000 vistas, por lo menos de esta cancion!!!!mi tema favorito!!

  98. B.... R....
