This seductively basslined stroll, with a ringing, Marr-ish riff, was the perfect canvas for Turner to revel in his lip-licking love of words: “She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue… I took the batteries out my mysticism and put ’em in my thinking cap”.
[Verse 1]
Just when things are getting complicated
In the eye of the storm
She flicks a red-hot revelation
Off the tip of her tongue
It does a dozen somersaults
And leaves you supercharged
Makes me wanna blow the candles out
Just to see if you glow in the dark
[Chorus]
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
[Verse 2]
Home sweet home, home sweet home
Home sweet booby-trap
I took the batteries out my mysticism
And put 'em in my thinking cap
She's got a telescopic hallelujah
Hanging up on her wall
For when it gets too complicated
In the eye of the storm
[Chorus]
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Oh, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
And in a hellcat spangled cavern
When your judgement's on the run
And you're acting like a stranger
'Cause you thought it looked like fun
And did you ever get the feeling
That these are things she's said before?
Her steady hands may well have done the devil's pedicure
What you waiting for?
Sing another fucking shalalala
[Outro]
Shalalala
Shalalala
