About Turn

"Turn" was Feeder's third UK single to be taken from the Echo Park album. It reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart and led to Echo Park re-entering the top 75 due to the pre-release airplay and stocking of the single on release week. It was also the band's third successive top 30 single, the first time this had happened in their career. The track called "Come Back Around" on CD1 is not the same song as the single from Comfort in Sound, released a year later but a totally different song. When "Come Back Around" was mentioned as a new single, there was an initial confusion among fans thinking it was a new version of the same song. The title track related to Grant Nicholas's experiences of being away while on tour.

Seeing things, going places
Living out of suitcases
Every day's like a dream
I find myself talking to shadows
Taking the train of youth
Back home again

'Cause I don't want to be a hero
But I don't want to be a zero

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got

Seeing things, going places
Meeting all kinds of faces
Every day's like a scene
I find myself going through phases
Trying to find somewhere that I can be me

'Cause I don't want to be a hero
But I don't want to be a zero

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
'Cause I don't want to leave it all behind

So come on, give in
There's no beauty in this pain
So come on, give in
We've got to find ourselves again

'Cause I don't want to be your hero

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
'Cause I don't want to leave it all behind

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
'Cause I don't want to leave it all behind
