Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Blow a horn you just sound pretty
Your body just keep movin' to the nifty bitten
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you won't find it hard to hang on
But you see I've made up my mind about it, hey
It's the rhythm, there's no doubt about it, hey
when the guitar pleh pah pleh
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Wanna make me move my body, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it, ha!
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
(Music)
You should be dancing, yeah
You should be dancing, yeah
I can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you
I can fly like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can't buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desired
You won't find an unhappy man with all the powers that I possess
'Cause I can't get next to you, oh
I can't get next to you, babe (no way)
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe (I can't get next to who?)
I can't get next to you (Is you! That's who)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

這三首歌像被林子祥灌注了強烈的生命力，尤其是〈Turn the Beat Around〉那層層疊疊的節奏堆疊，彷彿能聽見鼓點在耳膜上跳踢踏舞。他用沙啞嗓音把「敲打樂」這件事唱得像種信仰，重複的「Love to hear percussion」不只在喊話，更像是對音樂本質的虔誠告白。而〈I Can’t Get Next to You〉突然轉入的深情款款，又像夜幕降臨時突然亮起的霓虹，把強烈的節奏感壓成一池靜水，讓人驚覺原來他也能把「無法靠近」的寂寞唱得如此 конкрет。這張專輯最妙處在於，它不只讓人想甩頭晃腦，更在某個靜下來的瞬間，發現那些重複的節奏裡，其實藏著對情感的執著追問。
歌曲冷知識
・「Turn the Beat Around」重複「Turn it upside down」的結構，似在模擬音樂節奏的翻轉與變奏，強化節奏支配情緒的意象。
・「I Can’t Get Next to You」以「build a castle from a single grain of sand」對比「can’t get next to you」，突顯超凡能力與情感阻隔的荒謬對照。
・三首歌皆出現「love to hear percussion」與「syncopated rhythm」等詞，隱藏對節奏本質的執念，似將音樂元素神格化。
・「You Should Be Dancing」副歌「I can」句式堆疊，以近乎咒語的語調鋪陳無邊權能，最終崩解於「can’t get next to you」的單純痛覺。
