lyrics
Don't get me wrong - I just met you
But you turn me on in one hell of a way
And I just don't don't want to forget you
Love to see your face another day
You turn me on, you turn me on
You just turn me on
To see you again with no showdown
And stand beside your fire is all I want
You got your friend - I got the lowdown
But even talking to you turns me on
You turn me on, you turn me on
You just turn me on
I don't want no heavy situation
Getting high on you is all I need
With some guys it's just infatuation
But I have seen you eyes and I believe
The room is dark, the floor is empty
And you're in a corner on your own
Shall I come on up and say how I'm feeling
Or will I just follow you home ?
You turn me on, you turn me on
You just turn me on.

Quite good songs from some new inexperienced band that I've never heard but I think they have promise though really they needed to start their career say in the mid-1970's during a time of strife & hope with clashing cultures & international conflict to help inspire the tempering of this raw talent into something folkish and joecoqueresque avec a nouveau sensibility of finger pickin' geetar and riddim&blooooozzz and glued back hair, sequins, glitter, safetypins & paperhats. A good first attempt. quangobaud

So much atmosphere conveyed by so few words. This track truly lives up to its title and not only that - this version features Steve Laurie and Pat Davey - two old muso friends from the eighties. Richard Hayward
Ben Wheeler uses an East German synthesizer and a Soviet flanger to create hauntingly weird yet bright and open electronic soundscapes. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 10, 2022

This album has stuck with my dad for the best part of 30 years, Tom's music has a timeless quality that doesn't age and stays with his fans for decades. Adam Stephens
