The Turning Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Eyes over the city
Rise up from your soul
Hang over the streets at night
Brought on by the cold
We live with the numbers
Mining our dreams for the same old song
What hope for the turning
If everything you know is wrong
[Chorus 1]
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Be the fallen angel by my side
[Verse 2]
If you carry the lantern
I'll carry you home
You search for the disappeared
I'll bury the cold
Yours is a messiah
Mine is a dream and it won't be long
No hope for the journey
If no-one ever sees the dawn
[Chorus 2]
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Will you be by my side?
[Chorus 1]
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Be the fallen angel by my side
[Chorus 2]
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Will you be by my side?
[Chorus 1]
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Be the fallen angel by my side
[Outro 1]
(Shake your rag doll baby)
(Shake it 'round)
(Shake your rag doll baby)
(Shake it 'round)
(shake your rag doll, baby)
(shake your rag doll, baby)
(shake your rag doll, baby)
(shake your rag doll, baby)...
[Outro 2]

Noel Gallagher on the song:
I think the world is at a critical point; like an elastic band, where it’s either going to snap, or people are going to come to their senses. There are only extremes. And ‘The Turning’ is kind of about what hope do we have of recovering; what hope do we have of getting t...
