"Turn My Way" is the third song off of New Order's album, Get Ready. It features guest vocals by Billy Corgan. It was the first release featuring Corgan following the 2000 breakup of The Smashing Pumpkins.[1] Corgan's influence is evident on the tracj, which begins with Pumpkin-esque noise and Corgan's voice, taking the song into American rock territory.[2]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow
Don't take me down
Cause I'm not done
Don't steal my crown
Before it's won
The wide expanse
The wheel of chance
Will turn my way
The sky will not be gray
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow
I drank in every bar in town
I filled my cup when I was down
I saw the things I wanted to see
Became the man I wanted to be
But then somehow I lost my way
I've got to get back there today
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, Don't wanna wash my car
I lie awake at night, or wait until it's light
I want it to be free, I thought that I was right
Thought that I was right
Thought that I was right
Thought that I was right
Thought that I was right
Thought that I was right
Thought that I was right
