Maybe definitely the best turn album in the world ...ever ever
I have attempted to reproduce the lyrics from all of the tracks on the Maybe definitely the best turn album in the world... ever ever. My efforts are available to you over the next few pages, the album is available at some good record stores, several quality second hand shops, most open markets, nearly all car boot sales and every builders skip in the country. For further information on locating your own copy of the album email the Turn!

Screams from the audience, Star Turn sings!

My mind is like a fruit machine
spinning round.
There are two plumbs on the bandit
lend me a pound.
Jackpot, jackpot

When I try to join the club of life
they always shut the door.
The little man want's my members card
and the plumbs come round once more
(Crowd; Whooooooo)

Chorus

Are you affiliated
let me in , let me in.
Are you affil-e-a-ted
let me in , let me in.

I'm always early
but theres someone in my seat.
(Heckler;"They'r only here for the bingo")
I'm sweating on a number
but i'm out there in the street.
House called, house called

The walls only here my cry
I'm living under stress.
(Heckler; "Give it some melody man")
The only way to get in this place
is I must adjust my dress.

Albert; "I'm sorry lads! it's not working. Ah'l have to pay ya off, do you want to here it in English? Well here's Star Turn

Star Turn sings

I couldn't sleep a wink last night
my neighbour's drink too much
and start to fight,
and the dog's outside keep barking
and cars keep parking over my lawn

Albert; Let's here it for Star Turn. Ahh it's wonderful to have a bit of culture in the club again and a great pleasure to work with an ex merchant seaman.

Turns in the background sing: In the dark, inthe dark.

Albert; Hey! Ah thought ah told you three tubs of lard to bugger off? Let's have another chorus from Star Turn.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night
my neighbour's drink too much
and start to fight all through the night,
ah-the roof was leaking,
the back door squeaking
right until dawn.

Till the dahahahahahwn
(Albert interupts the Turn; Ladies and Gentlemen)
Till the dahahahahahwn
Albert; The greatest singer the world has ever known! Star Turn, and he's a personal friend

Albert; Ladies and Gentlemen, Star Turn and if you think he's good now! wait till he's had a few pints!
