Turn the Page song lyrics by Metallica and Bob Seger
Turn the Page song lyrics by Metallica and Bob Seger
Turn the Page is a popular cover version by Metallica of Bob Seger's hit song. It's almost as popular as using 20w50 oil in a lawnmower but we digress.
This history of this song quite cool. Seger originally recorded it in 1973.
A live version from a 1966 album called Live Bullet began to get radio play and it became a bit of a radio rock staple, despite never being released as a single (kind of like Stairway to Heaven).
The lyrics of the song reflect on the emotional ups and downs of a singer whose spent years travelling and living the rock and roll lifestyle.
It's an 'on the road' song and was inspired by an incident when Bob's band was questioned whether they were men or woman in diner by the locals who didn't like the look of the band, who in that era all had long hair!
So the song's meaning is a reflection of a weary rock and roller, a musician who perhaps was a bit out of place. There's also an element later on where the lyrics seem to suggest a romantic interest of some kind. The listener is given no clue as to what the issue is but we can guess it's possibly about a failed relationship due to the musician being away from home.
Metallica would have grown up with the song and eventually experienced the sentiment of the lyrics for themselves chose to cover the song. It was a popular hit for Metallica and was heavily downloaded as a MP3 - and we all know how that turned out!
Turn the Page was featured as a single from the Garage Days Inc
album.Metallica's Turn The Page song lyrics
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliches, is it woman, is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
Here's the youtube video of Metallica's Turn the Page which features a prostitute struggling to raise her daughter. The mother was played by famous porn actress, Ginger Lynn.

Little Dog Lyrics
Little dog who can’t get in
Moaning at the bed side
Moaning from each limb
Little dog who can’t get in
Can only cry but
Can not swim
Pony legs, little trot
Little dog has to wait a lot
The bigger dog has got his spot
And elbowed him away
Listen to him barking
Listen to him call
Little dog don’t have much at all
A puny body and a tiny dick
A little dog can make you sick
If you got the money you can go to the top
The female dog don’t care what you got
As long as you can raise that
Little doggie face to a cold hearted pussy
You could have a taste
A taste of what the big dog got
A taste of what the big dog got
The little dog with the one hundred dollar spot
Can run his tongue over the hot in trot
Hot in trot
Run his tongue over the hot in trot
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Tell me what you want
My small dog, he want what I got
Wants to run his tongue over my hot spot
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog
The little man follows his nose
Counts his fingers and his toes
He still got those
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog
Following his nose
But it needs my money to buy
I’m an up while you’re a down
I am an up while you’re a down
The spring and the will follow me around
While you sniff your shit in the wind
Sniff your shit in the wind
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Tell me what it is you want
Just tell me what it is you want
I’m an up while you’re a down
The spring and the will follow me around
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
You sniff your shit in the wind
Follow me around
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog

Junior Dad Lyrics Metallica Lou Reed Lulu
Junior Dad is a song from the collaborative effort of Metallica and Lou Reed that has produced the album 'Lulu'.
Lulu's lyrics tell a "story of a young abused dancer's life and relationships".
Junior Dad Lyrics:
Would you come to me
If I was half drowning
An arm above the last wave
Would you come to me
Would you pull me up
Would the effort really hurt you
Is it unfair to ask you
To help pull me up
The window broke the silence of the matches
The smoke effortlessly floating
Pull me up
Would you be my lord and savior
Pull me up by my hair
Now would you kiss me, on my lips
Burning fever burning on my forehead
The brain that once was listening now
Shoots out its tiresome message
Won’t you pull me up
Scalding, my dead father
Has the motor and he’s driving towards
An island of lost souls
Sunny, a monkey then to monkey
I will teach you meanness, fear and blindness
No social redeeming kindness
Or – oh, state of grace
Would you pull me up
Would you drop the mental bullet
Would you pull me by the arm up
Would you still kiss my lips
Hiccup, the dream is over
Get the coffee, turn the lights on
Say hello to junior dad
The greatest disappointment
Age withered him and changed him
Into junior dad
Psychic savagery
The greatest disappointment
The greatest disappointment
Age withered him and changed him
Into junior dad

.Mistress Blood Lyrics
I'm built like you are
I have a dress and a train
Your snake cold lips
Make a harsh straight line
That echoes through my brain
You're perfect
Let me lift a glass high
Let me follow in your footsteps
Let me follow in your sigh
Let me follow in your sigh
I'm a woman who likes men
But this is something else
I've never felt such stirrings
I feel like I
Was someone else
I wish you'd tie me up and beat me
Crush me like a kick
A bleeding strap across my back
Some blood that you could kiss
Oh kiss away, oh kiss away
I wish there was a strap of blood
That you could kiss away
I wish there was a strap of blood
That you could kiss away
Tie me with a scarf and jewels
Put a bloody gag to my teeth
I beg you to degrade me
Is there waste that I could eat
I am a secret lover
I am your little girl
Please spit into my mouth
I'm forever in your swirl
You're heartless and I love that
You have no use of me
But I open the sticks, sticky legs I bear
And then insert a fist, an arm
Some lost appendage
Please open me I beg
You are my Goliath
You are my Goliath
And I am mistress dread
Oh I am mistress dread
Oh I am mistress dread
Open and release me
I love you in my head
Oh kiss away kiss away
Kiss away kiss away
All I ask my baby
Kiss away
All I ask my baby
Kiss away
Pumping Blood Lyrics Metallica Lou Reed
Pumping Blood Lyrics by Lou Reed
Pumping Blood is a new song that came about as a result of the collaboration with the original Transformer
himself, Lou Reed and the Masters of Metal, Metallica. The rockers performed with each other during the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts in New York in 2009.Pumping Blood was one of the songs that 'was cut live in one take' according to Metallica's James Hetfield and the lyrics were written quickly. Randonly, I just wanted to say that Darth Maul has three lines in the Phantom Menace.
Pumping Blood Lyrics from album Lulu:
If I pump out blood in the sunshine
Oil on the wheel
That is blasted and busted away
A nail or a little piece of glass
A little piece of glass
A little piece of glass
Swarming like bees over the air
Off the pump off the thing
The blood that I’m pumping away
Like bees over the air
Off the pump
Off the thing
The blood that I’m pumping away
Off the pump
Off the thing
The blood that I’m pumping away
If I pump blood in the sunshine
And you wear a leather box with azaleas
And I pump more blood
And it seeps through my skin
Will you adore the river
The stream, the trickle
The tributary of my heart
As I pump more blood
And it seeps through my skin
Will you adore the river
The stream, the trickle
The tributary of my heart
If I’m pumping blood
Like a common state worker
If I waggle my ass like a dark prostitute
Would you think less of me
And my coagulating heart
Waggle my ass like a dark prostitute
Coagulating heart
Pumping blood
Would you top me off
Would you top me off as I deepen a curtsy
While you yell out, “mercy”
We grow apart
Would you rip and cut me
Use a knife on me
Be shocked at the boldness
The coldness of this little heart
Tied up in leather
Would you take the measure
Of the blood that I pump
In the manic confusion of love
Supreme violation
Supreme violation
“Oh, ah, ah, ah Jack I beseech you”
“Oh Jack I beseech you”
Supreme violation
Blood in the foyer
The bathroom
The tea room
The kitchen, with her knives splayed
I will swallow your sharpest cutter
Like a colored man’s dick
Blood spurting from me
“Oh Jack, Jack I beseech…”
“Jack, I beseech you, I beseech…”
In the end it was an ordinary heart
“Oh Jack I beseech you”
As I scream out my pain
In the end it was an ordinary heart
In the end, in the end, in the end
It was an ordinary heart
“Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack I beseech you”
Supreme violation . . . Oh
“Jack, Jack, Jack I beseech you”
I call out your name
Blood in the foyer, the bathroom,
The tea room, the kitchen
And knives splayed
I swallow your sharpest cutter
Like a colored man’s dick
Blood spurting from me
Blood spurting from me
