Background vocals: Barzin, Shoshanna J
I remember writing this song minutes after writing another song called "Radio Friendly Fire" in an apartment I subletted in Guelph, Ontario. It was just to release some extra creative steam. Initially, I recorded them both on a tape recorder I had borrowed from Helen Spitzer and I remember thinking that it was this one that was the better of the two.
When we recorded it, Barzin was in town and I spontaneously asked him to do some background vocals. He had to sing in a much different style than he normally sings. Shoshanna's backgrounds were another happy accident. I literally had no idea what she would do but she has a beautiful voice. She sang on this one and another called "How beautiful it is" that is not included in this release.
Lyrics
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
And don't you let it stop
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
And take me to the top
And you will see
When you're here with me
Her heart break
Her heart break
Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
There's no time left for pride
Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
When space and time collide
And you will see
When you're here with me
Her heart break
Her heart break
Don't you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
She's always watching you?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
The nightmares all come true?
And you will see
When you're here with me
Her heart break
Her heart break
