A. Turner

Turner is a common surname originating from Normandy, France, arriving in England after the Norman conquest with the earliest known records dated in the 12th century. It is the 28th-most common surname in the United Kingdom.Most often it derives from an occupational name applied to a maker of small objects out of wood, metal or bone, by turning on a lathe (from Old French tornier, "lathe", ultimately from Latin). In this sense it is analogous to the German surnames Drexel, Drechsler, Dressler, and Dreyer, Polish Tokarz, Finnish Sorvari, Russian Токарь (Tokarʼ) and related to English surnames such as Potter and Crocker. Other occasional origins include Old French tournoieur, referring to someone either in charge of, or who participates in a tournament, and Tur… more »

You're not as messed up as you think you are 
Your self-absorption makes you messier 
Just settle down and you will feel a whole lot better 
Deep down you're just like everybody else 

She's not as pretty as she thinks she is 
Just picture her after she's had kids 
I bet she sits at home and listens to The Smiths 
Deep down she's just like everybody else 

So why are you sat at home? 
You're not designed to be alone 
You just got used to saying "no" 
So get up and get down and get outside 
Cos it's a lovely sunny day 
But you hide yourself away 
You've only got yourself to blame 
Get up and get down and get outside 

He's not as clever as he likes to think 
He's just ambitious with his arguing 
He's crap at dancing, yeah and he can't hold his drink 
Deep down he's just like everybody else 

I'm not as awesome as this song makes out 
I'm angry, underweight and sketching out 
I'm building bonfires on my vanities and doubts 
To get warm just like everybody else 

So why are you sat at home? 
You're not designed to be alone 
You just got used to saying "no" 
So get up and get down and get outside 
Cos it's a lovely sunny day 
But you hide yourself away 
You've only got yourself to blame 
Get up and get down and get outside 

Amy thinks that life is lacking in drama 
So she fell for horoscopes, faith-healing and karma 
She's so wrapped up in her invisible armor 
She'll never grow into herself 
And it's OK thinking me and all my friends are just wasters 
But saying that I can still see through her heirs and graces 
I bet she's scared her life won't leave any traces 
Caught up like everyone else 

That's not the point anyway 
Oh darling, I felt compelled to call you up to say
So why are you sat at home? 
You're not designed to be alone 
You just got used to saying "no" 
So get up and get down and get outside 
Cos it's a lovely sunny day 
But you hide yourself away 
You've only got yourself to blame 

Get up and get down and get outside 
Get up and get down and get outside 
Get up and get down and get outside 
Get up and get down and get outside 
Get up and get down and get outside 
Get up and get down and get outside
