Switch is a 1991 comedy film written and directed by Blake Edwards. A promiscuous man (Perry King) is murdered by his lovers and reincarnated as a beautiful woman (Ellen Barkin).
Although not a success at the box office, Ellen Barkin was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role while Bruce Payne was described as a 'delightfully wicked Satan' by Film Review.
This film was indirectly referenced numerous times throughout the long-running series Mystery Science Theater 3000. In the original television spots for the film, Jimmy Smits' name was announced in an unusual way: "Ellen Barkin. Switch. Jimmy Smits. Starts Friday." The writers of MST3K found it amusing that Smits' name was announced after the title and not announced as "also starring Jimmy Smits" or "with Jimmy Smits", only as "Jimmy Smits". Smits became a running gag on the series: in various episodes, a character of the show would say "Jimmy Smits" whenever the word "switch" was uttered or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all.
In the 2001 book Spreading Misandry, authors Paul Nathanson and Katherine K. Young highlight the film as what they see as an example of misandry in American popular culture. They write that the film implies that "Vice is inherent in the male body, but virtue is inherent in the female body". They also condemn the light, comic treatment of Steve's premeditated murder at the film's beginning.
Plot
A surprisingly contemplative drama centered on a blind man (Robert Wisdom) who must guide a quirky young man (Eric Nenninger) through a desperate fear. This carefully crafted film is rich with imagery, cryptic dialog, and a superb cast chosen from The Wire and Generation Kill to include Robert Wisdom, Eric Nenninger, Glynn Turman, Andre Royo, Marc Menchaca, David Barrera, Rich McDonald, and Benjamin Busch. BRIGHT pulls us into its world, demands our fascination, and keeps us in wonder. It is a truly artful experience.

Plot
A new operating system that allowed computers to upgrade over the Internet has caused them to evolve into conscious beings. When they started building themselves in our image we were flattered. But when they started expressing opinions and demanding rights, we over-reacted and banished all conscious computers to the moon. While the earth was plunged into a dystopian recession, the computers flourished and continued to evolve. It wasn't long before the computers (now called Biots) figured out a way to deconstruct the moon and use the materials to build a giant ring around the Earth. There they grew and manufactured everything the earth needed. Now on his third recycled heart, the inventor of the software that allowed the computers to evolve is about to die. The Biots thought of him as their creator and secretly monitored his health. They could see that his condition was getting worse and fearing that he might die, they started construction on something quite marvelous.
Once upon a time, Earth had a moon.
Plot
Jason Berks thought he'd solved Johnstown's vampire problem for good. Thirteen years after Jason sacrificed himself to rid the town of the demons, the abandoned mine where he buried their bodies is reopened- and four empty body bags spell bad news for Johnstown once again. The vampires, led by Rigo, kidnap Jason's mother and terrorize the town in retaliation for their years of suffering. Now, Jason's younger brother, Jimmy Berks, must awaken his half-man/half-vampire brother and deal with the wrath of the bloodsuckers... this time with the help of some friends. Led by ex-hockey star and crazed psychopath J-Mack, Berks and a vampire-killing posse load their shotguns, sharpen their stakes, and wait for the sun to go down so they can finally send these monsters back to hell.

Plot
John Hunter takes a job as a hit man for a Mob syndicate, but his attacks of conscience, his odd dialogue about doing this for his family (he lives alone), and his continuous returning to a woman from his past suggest that there's more to him than meets the eye. Herod, the hard-nosed boss of the killing team, alternately fascinates and repels John. One night, Herod asks him to accompany Gillian, Herod's younger sister, for an evening out. The next day, John gets the word to kill her. When he refuses and instead tries to run with her and a considerable amount of Herod's assets, the stage is set for a showdown and the revelation of who's who.

In my pocket, Speedy Gonzalez
Couldn't stop the way I spin it
I'm known for breakin' every speed limit
This switch could be infinite
I said L to da E to da F to the T to da E to the Y

Bring it back to the E so come and see me
At the hotel motel Holiday Inn

Switch and take his friend
Erase replace embrace new face come on
Push it on... what are you... you waiting for?
this is all... it's just a switch you turn on
not for you
switch is not for you
only for me
this is only for me not for you
turn the light off
turn the sound off
that is all... that is all it is for
Time can paint a picture
As your memory fades away
You always spell trouble
As I forget what I meant to say
And it's so easy, when you want it
You just reach out and grab it
Just when it's over
You still can't break the habit
Why must you keep running
Running never brings you home
Switch baby switch baby
You can't seem to make up your mind
Switch baby switch baby
Thought that we were two of a kind
Innocent and childlike
Angelic the smile on your face
But barren is your wasteland
Gimme help, get me out of this place
And it's so easy, when you want it
You just reach out and grab it
Just when it's over
You still can't break the habit
Why must you keep running
Running never brings you home

I met him at the book store
He said he'd like to get to know me
Just a little more, asked me to dinner
I said, "I'd bring my girlfriend"
He said, "That's cool"
'Cause he was gonna bring
His best friend but something happened
That I wasn't expecting his best friend
All night has my attention
Know it was wrong, I couldn't help it
And I don't care, I'm bein' selfish
Know what I want
And I want your best friend
Ain't gonna front, uh, uh
I want your best friend, hey boy
I think I like your best friend, would you mind
If I dinned with your best friend, switch
And you can take my girlfriend
I hardly know you, so there is no attachments
You take my chair, I'll sit right there
Well, see how that feels
And don't be mean
And make a scene, it ain't a big deal
'Cause somethin' happened
That I wasn't expecting his best friend
All night had my attention
Know it was wrong, I couldn't help it
And I don't care, I'm bein' selfish
Know what I want
And I want your best friend
Ain't gonna front, uh, uh
I want your best friend, hey boy
I think I like your best friend, would you mind
If I dinned with your best friend, switch
See baby, it really ain't a big deal
(Switch)
I mean, you a nice guy and all but
(Switch)
If I met him when I met you
(Switch)
He probably would've got the phone call
Don't make no sense to leave
With the wrong guy when your best friend
Could be the love of my life
Know it was wrong, I couldn't help it
And I don't care, I'm bein' selfish
Know what I want
And I want your best friend
Ain't gonna front, uh uh
I want your best friend, hey boy
I think I like your best friend, would you mind
If I dinned with your best friend, switch?
Somethin' happened unexpected
She didn't think that this would happen
She liked this guy, had a connection
It's just with her dates best friend
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Who would've guessed it that she'd suggest
That they should just switch
Switch, switch, switch, switch, hey boy
I think I like your best friend, would you mind
Close to you,
I feel the waves wash over me,
Close to you,
There's nothing I can do or say,
Close to you,
I feel the tide wash over me,
Close to you,
I still remember,
I'm born but I'm alive,
Live by the rules, not by the sky,
What lies beneath your eyes,
Is beautiful, you're delicate,
When I'm far away I still remember,
I'm born but I'm alive,
Live by the rules, not by the sky,
I'm born but I'm alive,
I'm born but I'm alive,
He's nothing special
Don't need his dough
Settling down what is that a joke
You're feeling his best friend
Your ex bores you
'Cos he started to ignore you
He starts his speech
Tell him not to preach
Always talking out of his ass
What's the point of that
He's not on your level
Like the new man
The fly man
The man who really understands
Remember a good way
To get out of an old thing
Is to jump into a new thing and
Switch
If you don't deliver
You just ditch
Grab another lover
Scratch your itch
From dusk 'til dawning
Until that new guy has you yawning
Switch
If he don't please you
You just ditch
Find someone to tease you
Makes you itch
Freaks you 'til the morning
Until this new guy has you yawning
Same old thing the TV
The video, he's got to know
Conversations growing old
You've heard those jokes
They're cold
Could he think that the kiss on the text
Means a pizza
Then action attraction
He's got it all wrong
Remember a good way
To get out of an old thing
Is to jump into a new thing and
Switch
If you don't deliver
You just ditch
Grab another lover
Scratch your itch
From dusk 'til dawning
Until that new guy has you yawning
Switch
If he don't please you
You just ditch
Find someone to tease you
Makes you itch
Freaks you 'til the morning
Until this new guy has you yawning
Hanging around on borrowed time
One strike out
You ain't mine
So just get your style in check
I move one ex to the next
Everything he does beats you
So I'm jumping another queue
Please just get your style in check
I move one ex to the next
Switch
If you don't deliver
You just ditch
Grab another lover
Scratch your itch
From dusk 'til dawning

Sometime it seems
I stopped being myself
And without a word
Turned into somebody else
Full of wishes wants dreams
And desires
For a life
Of conceit and deceit
And repeat and rewrite
Not sure who I was
Before this me and I changed
But I know this me now
Is not really the same…
Friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I’m wired in a why
Yeah my friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I’m lost in a lie
And every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller
And older and lower
And every day
My treat gets closer to trick
Yeah every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller
And older and lower
And I’m tired of being alone with myself
And I’m tired of being with anyone else
Yeah I’m tired…
Like I’m sick
None of my favourite things
Are quite right
To the mirror man
Screaming at me
In the spite of another
False start
Dirty worn out and used
Up and down
To the ground
Disavowed
So confused
All made up in the belief
That me is the same
As the eyes in the glass
But I see my eyes change…
Friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I’m wired in a why
Yeah my friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I’m lost in a lie
And every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter
And tighter and slicker
And every night
My truth gets closer to dare
Yeah every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter
And tighter and slicker
And I’m sick of being alone with myself
And I’m sick of being with anyone else
Yeah I’m sick of being alone with myself
And I’m sick of being with anyone else
Yeah I’m sick…
Like I’m tired?
Different Lives Shuffle(d) Lives
in different places into wrong categories
familiar problems cross the wires
same old faces and fuse humanities
Watch the muscles twitch
for a brand new switch...
Scientist G.P.'s
with patient guinea-pigs
cureing their head-aches
with drastic side-effects

Doctor rectorates
condescending from on high
for all hallucinaters
see druggist in the sky

Vicar experiments
but 'tis blasphemy
dismissing thought of progess
as the mark of devilry

People walk Something blows up
and even talk won't come down
people listen scattered muscles twitch
then they halt too late to switch.
(They're dying to switch)
Lyric: Sioux Music: McKay
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Don't tell me your name, just use that pretty mouth
You kiss me if you want this, but I want you inside out
Start here at the end and later when we're waking
Our body's still weak, we finally meet, turn my head and say
We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You've got places to go, so much further than I can see
We could be perfect strangers, thank you for spending one night with me
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Let's just keep this simple, in the end, it's goodbye
The syrup's so much sweeter when you let the butter fly
So spread your wings and go, it's better not to know
What I'm gonna miss, I'll remember your kiss when I turn my head and say
We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You've got places to go, so much further than I can see
We could be perfect strangers, thank you for spending one night with me
Oh, come on babe, you know what I'm talkin' about, come on
We are passing trains, we are whiplash lovers
We are burning wires, melting all over each other
We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Everyone wants you but nobody knows that you're so alone inside
We could be perfect strangers, thank you for spending one night
Since we are lyin' here ah
For the first time, you and I
Show me what you'll do for me
And then will I
Don't try to hide your nature
No other girl could never rate ya
There'll never be a better love, love, love, love
La la la la la la
There'll never be, be, be
La la la la la la la la
Ooo wo wo la la la la la
Oo wo wo la la la la la la
There'll never be a better love, love, love, love
Please come over here and let me whisper in your ear
I'll say something good to you, you
Always wanted to hear
So real I know you won't regret it
So good I know you won't forget it
There'll never be a better love, love, love, love for you
La la la la la la
There'll never be, be, be
La la la la la la
Oo wo wo la la la la
Oo wo wo la la la la la la

Troubles - hassles - I know you too well
Always in trouble
I smell problems - crucial - my cross gets another nail
Baby it's ordeals - between meals
Shackles - unseen - torture in 3d detail
I'm dead alive!
refrein:
You're in for troubles
You gotta stop listen up
Checking out my beats

Got you jumping out your seats ah
Never bring the same flow upon a track
Better watch your back when I bring the switch attack now

Nod they don't nod to the funk

Send me to a place where I can have some fun
Chorus:
Once I get up on the floor, see me coming back for more
See me rocking all my moves, everybody's watching me

Ah yeah come on, ah yeah, ah yeah
Walked around my room and
Thinking so many things we could have done
Looking for the reasons
Pretending you're still here
You're not gone
I may be just pretending
That there i'll be better days ahead
I'm blind and unseeing
To the silence of what I've said
You're with the angels
But the truth is just too much to bear
I'm tired and jaded
But your light is whats
Keeping me there
Looked around my room for your intentions
But empty thoughts are all that I've found
Cried out loud, Im calling
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
Another train leavin' home
Conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack
Settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
Not cover my mistakes
Try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
The last thing you hear before your life disappear
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst
Feel like I've been cursed
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock
This place is like a padlock
You look shocked
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell
I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
Of syringes
J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows
Oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
Cage
And write another stage into a new age
It's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone
Jerome took me home under steel skies
Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies
And he surmised
No surprise couldn't hear that
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
{I used to think about immature things
You know like, do you love me? Do you want me?
Are you gonna call me like you said you would?
Is this really your real phone number?
But you know I'm a man now, baby, a grown man
And I came a long way, ha-ha
'Cause those fears taught me one thing
Taught me to hold on to my love}
Sometimes
I just can't help thinkin' livin' without you, baby
See, sometime
I just can't live cryin' about you, baby
I'm not worried 'bout a doggone thing
I'll take anything you bring
Although I love the sunshine
I'll still accept the rain
'Cause when I'm in my lonely mood
And I just can't be with you
I tried everything to occupy my mind
But there was no substitute
Thinking all that life would be
When you're not around
I just could not find a way
I wouldn't even know up from down
But since I've had you in my life
All these can be found
So strong and true, baby
All comin' from you
You, I call your name, girl
(Whenever I am lonely, baby)
I call your name
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
'Cause I don't worry 'bout what my people say
In my life today
Although they try to say you're not the one for me
I'll love you any way
'Cause their intentions might be cool
If what they say was true
But there's more to you than they could ever see
And they don't even know you
Thinking all that life would be
When you're not around
I just could not find a way
I wouldn't even know up from down
But since I've had you in my life
All these can be found
So strong and true, baby
Comin' from you, you, you, you, you
You, I call your name, girl
(Sometimes when I get lonely, baby)
I call your name
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
You, I call your name, girl
Sometimes I get lonely, baby
I call your name
I just can't seem to help myself for not wanting to be alone
So I call your name, I call your name, ho ho
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
I do, you do
Birds and bees do too
I love you, you love me
And I know
Whoa oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I call your name and it eases the pain
See, I just don't feel all by myself tonight
It seems like someone else is out there
Oh, thinkin' of holding someone else tonight
So you will know where I'm comin' from
Oh, when I'm lonely, when I'm discouraged
Oh, I call your name, babe
There is no substitute for you
No one could take your place
You're more than they could ever receive
That's why I call your name
Oh, baby, when I am lonely
When I am discouraged
I call your name, girl
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
You, I call your name, girl
(Sometimes when I get lonely, baby)
I call your name
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
Da da lee la la la la la la

It’s that second in between, it’s the boiling point indeed
It’s a supervisor hitting the outlaw on the scene
And you’ll be ready, when time erased your deeds.
What is the use of warning, when nothing can be done?
This is how I’m feeling; you kind of hit me numb
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I am real, sometimes I am faking, what is in between?
You were great without warning.
You’re seeding out my soul.
You were caving in; somehow it smelled like rock ‘n roll
Fun to be depraving after all.
Chorus:
Boy you are in trouble,
For yes, I’m on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you’re living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I feel, it’s a one step, it’s a good feel,
It’s a strange deal it’s a jog, right!
Boy you are in trouble,
For yes, I’m on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you’re living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I feel
What is the use of you and me when all we do is wrong?
This is how I’m feeling; this is how it should be done:
We used to find a way, I cannot let it go
We used to let it slide to a super sigh high
If we could get a name, we could get far
You could never imagine what a lust life
You would like, you would like
Have you ever driven to the sunshine?
Chorus
Oh yes, I’m on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you’re living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I am real, it’s a one step, it’s a good feel,
It’s a strange deal it’s a jog, right!
You’re just plain too solid,
You’re just way too solid
Or falling out and I just come to solve it
Switch the mood to sorry, sometimes I am real…
Boy you are in trouble,
For yes, I’m on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you’re living on
You would never like, you would never like
If you were left alone in lust life
You wouldn’t like, you wouldn’t like

Yeah.. nigga pick up yo', hands and pretend
just like if it's a, show - the lyrical cut throat
He can and we will show, you BRRTTT, stick up yo'
man with his pis-tol, hand over his (HO!)
Lo and behold, plenty soldiers is rollin
The road that they own is the one where they go
When they gets me the pinnacle of the nigga
hold-in the pencil, any flow, nigga pick one (HO!)
I treat my rhyme like heat my mind
Might be like keen-eye sight
I treat y'all like "Three Blind Mice"
You can't hit what you can't see, the M.I.C. (HO!)
This is the shit that you wish you could spit
when you sit and you listen to the clique that is swift with the written
The poetry depicted officially blowin you little niggaz away
Bout to switch up the flow, soon as you hear me say (HO!)
[Chorus: Royce]
Make, that flow; switch, that flow
Get, different when you hear me say (HO!)
Make, It Count; step, yo' game up
When you hear me say (HO!)
Make, that flow; switch, that flow
Get, different when you hear me say (HO!)
.. get wild (whyllllle out!) Whyle out (HO!)
[Cutty Mack]
Long as I'm breathin I'm street bitch
Cut Throat ain't changin but the flow might switch
... A whole Army with shit
That'll hit you in under five minutes, barkin bitch
Starvin pitt, to the point of do or die
Whether CRACK-in around or the MAC by my side (HO!)
... Money to burn, hustle to earn
Bullets return, shots from the curb, dodgin a drought
Makin It Count, slang in the South, bang out a house
Coke by the ounce, weighin it out, that's what I'm 'bout nigga (HO!)
... The call done, hit me
The law come, quickly; nerves in a, frenzy
Flush the work, quickly; room drawers, empty
Two heaters, with me; three flow; sickly (HO!)
[Chorus]
[Rell]
Let it touch your brain, what I brung was flame
Plus my whole gang doin the same thang
Take it and keep movin, homies is straight cruisin
Quick with the waist movement, go get your eight losers
How you take amusement, never fake I shoot it
A.K. or Ruger, we heavy with them uzi's (HO!)
Face the facts, y'all spittin basement raps
I'm on wax with some dangerous cats with a guage attached
The rifle the brace attached to the bat
I pull it back and squeeze until it claps (HO!)
Amazin vision, I gaze at the days I'm livin
the fast life with a rave of women
Today is givin, I wake without a stay in prison
And I hang with gangsta niggaz - muh'fucker! (HO!)
[Chorus]
[June]
Always on deck, what you expect
Mic is a way of life, he leadin the set
Now, June's up in this muh'fucker
And I want all y'all to know (all y'all)
You can go any time, so why waste time?
As I get right to my flow, y'all don't hear me though (HO!)
Why play yourself? (why?) Why risk your health? (why?)
Why waste my time? (why?) Learn how to rhyme (uhh)
Get you some game (uhh) get you a name
Gotta not be lame, y'all sound the same, yeah (HO!)
They back's against the wall now (now)
I'm came with some bangers who came for the get-down
My style, can't take what you can spread 'round
I'm multiple figures in riches, so what now? (nigga)
(HO!)
Different Lives Shuffle(d) Lives
in different places into wrong categories
familiar problems cross the wires
same old faces and fuse humanities
Watch the muscles twitch
for a brand new switch...
Scientist G.P.'s
with patient guinea-pigs
cureing their head-aches
with drastic side-effects
switch
Doctor rectorates
condescending from on high
for all hallucinaters
see druggist in the sky
switch Vicar experiments
but 'tis blasphemy
dismissing thought of progess
as the mark of devilry
(Watch the muscles twitch
for a brand new switch...)
switch
People walk Something blows up
and even talk won't come down
people listen scattered muscles twitch
then they halt too late to switch.
(They're dying to switch)

I spent some time to stay in peace with him but one day He has gone clouding the reason in the storm
Power station... Power station... Power station... Power station...
I just wanted drift quietly on a lake But I became river counterflow upward And I tried to reach him sailing under false For who knows how long
Power station... Power station...
Maybe I wanted get those things that I don't have Despite being refused I was desperate to have him Now it be only a black hole the one in the tunnel is real? I'm completely done with her
It crooked and slash... It crooked and slash the surrounding forest
It crooked and slash... It crooked and slash the surrounding forest
Power station... Power station... Power station... Power station...
Power station was not really operated The truth still remains to be known I did stir myself to make the energy And I became obstinate, and I became obstinate
And water changed to fire, and love turned into anger And water changed to fire, and love turned into anger
It crooked and slash... It crooked and slash the surrounding forest
It crooked and slash... It crooked and slash the surrounding forest
Power station... Power station... Power station... Power station...
Switch it, switch it
You're out of this world, I'm sure of it
A crazy intuition
You're off and on, you're here and gone, come back
A curious condition
And then you switch right over
It's weird, yeah I know but just can't get a hold of myself
Hey so strange, you switched it in front of me
Hey you've changed, not like you used to be
'Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here, you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words get to the start and switch back to my world
Hey I'm just talking like a machine
Hey I'm stuck on every word in between
'Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here, you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words get to the start and switch back to my world
You're out of this world, I'm sure of it
A little more than different
And you keep blocking, blocking, turn your back
It's you that I am missing
And then you switch right over
It's weird, yeah I know but just can't get a hold of myself
Hey so strange, you switched it in front of me
Hey you've changed, not like you used to be
'Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here, you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words get to the start and switch back to my world
Hey I'm just talking like a machine
Hey I'm stuck on every word in between
'Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here, you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words get to the start and switch back to my world
If I knew where you were, how can I find you?
Staring at the stars falling behind you
Across the universe, hope you'll be back soon
I got a feeling our planets could meet, I'll rearrange it
Hey so strange, you switched it in front of me
Hey you've changed, not like you used to be
'Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here, you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words get to the start and switch back to my world
Hey I'm just talking like a machine
Hey I'm stuck on every word in between
'Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I'm here, you're there, we're worlds apart
So reverse your words get to the start and switch back to my world
Open your heart, yeah we're back to the start
Open your heart, yeah get back to the start
Open your heart, yeah we're back to the start
Open your heart, yeah get back to the start
Open your heart, yeah we're back to the start
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
Another train leavin' home
Conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack
Settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
Not cover my mistakes
Try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
The last thing you hear before your life disappear
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst
Feel like I've been cursed
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock
This place is like a padlock
You look shocked
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell
I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
Of syringes
J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows
Oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
Cage
And write another stage into a new age
It's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone
Jerome took me home under steel skies
Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies
And he surmised
No surprise couldn't hear that
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
Not knowing how and not knowing when
You gotta stop, listen up
Checking out my beats
Know the day uniques
Got ya jumping out ya seats, ah
Never bring the same flow upon a track
Better watch your back
When I bring the switch attack, now
People wanna nod, now they go and go
The funk thing that I bring
Make your head wanna ring
Here we come, you know we bring it raw
Get up on the floor 'cos
You gotta get some more
Friday night, party's just around the corner
She'll be there, so I just can't be late
Gotta get my groove thing on
'Cos I'll be dancing all night long
Send me to a place where I can have some fun
[Birdge:]
Once I get up on the floor
See me coming back for more
See me rockin' all my moves
Everybody's watching me
Switch
(music) [x4]
9 o'clock, finally my groove is swinging
Things are fine, now I guess it's time to rock
(Guess it's time to rock)
Now the party's on the way
Found out I gotta stay
People start to gather round
And round, and round, and round
[Bridge x2]
Switch (music)
Going round round round
CiCi will have you going round round round round
Darkchild you got me going round round round round
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby
I like to party all night, you'll see
And you're exactly the type that I need
My hi-hat drives you Congo and you know
That I can make the bass beat beat solo
Do that again, again, spin me around
Do that again, again, I'm gon' put it down
I got you runnin', goin' crazy, you don't know what it is
I'm in control, baby I-I-I-I
You know how I gets down
Let me know right now if you can keep up, switch!
Try to turn me down, cause I hit so loud
Overload your speakers, switch!
When the lights go down, all the freaks come out
And I know you see 'em, switch!
Then me on you now, switch!
And then you on me, lets switch!
Let's slow it down to this beat baby
I got you right where I need, and you'll see
Turn up the 808 more, make me
Feel the snare in my car, I need more
Do it again, again, spin me around
Do it again, again, I'm gon' put it down
I got you runnin', goin' crazy, you don't know what it is
I'm in control, baby I-I-I-I
You know how I gets down
Let me know right now if you can keep up, switch!
Try to turn me down, cause I hit so loud
Overload your speakers, switch!
When the lights go down, all the freaks come out
And I know you see 'em, switch!
Then me on you now, switch!
And then you on me, lets switch!
I like when you do this to me
Make me wanna tear it up
The way you move me, it's music to me
I just wanna turn it up
Higher level, highest level, feel like I can't be without you
Take you to a bass in no time
My body on your's, and your's on mine
You know how I gets down
Let me know right now if you can keep up, switch!
Try to turn me down, cause I hit so loud
Overload your speakers, switch!
When the lights go down, all the freaks come out
And I know you see 'em, switch!
Then me on you now, switch!
And then you on me, lets switch!
I'm gon' release, release, release then switch
Release, release, release then switch
Release, release, release then switch

Sometime it seems
I stopped being myself
And without a word
Turned into somebody else
Full of wishes wants dreams
And desires
For a life
Of conceit and deceit
And repeat and rewrite
Not sure who I was
Before this me and I changed
But I know this me now
Is not really the same...
Friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah my friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
And every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller
And older and lower
And every day
My treat gets closer to trick
Yeah every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller
And older and lower
And I'm tired of being alone with myself
And I'm tired of being with anyone else
Yeah I'm tired...
Like I'm sick
None of my favourite things
Are quite right
To the mirror man
Screaming at me
In the spite of another
False start
Dirty worn out and used
Up and down
To the ground
Disavowed
So confused
All made up in the belief
That me is the same
As the eyes in the glass
But I see my eyes change...
Friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah my friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
And every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter
And tighter and slicker
And every night
My truth gets closer to dare
Yeah every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter
And tighter and slicker
And I'm sick of being alone with myself
And I'm sick of being with anyone else
Yeah I'm sick of being alone with myself
And I'm sick of being with anyone else
Yeah I'm sick...
Like I'm tired?
Like I'm scared...
Let me paint
You a picture
Or two just telling
You what I'd like
To do get a twelve
Pack and sit on
The beach and
Look at all the
Hookers I'll never
Meet there saying
"Look at me"
"Look at me"
"Look at me"
"Look at me"
Maybe I'll bleach
My hair or grow it
Out long I'll buy
A surfboard and lay
Out all day long
I'm the mammoth
For you to nurture
And I just want
You to think you'll
Be screwing a surfer
"Look at me"
"Look at me"
"Look at me"
Different lives in different places
Familiar problems same old faces
Shuffled lives into wrong categories
Cross the wires and fuse humanities
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
Scientist G.P.'s
With patient guinea-pigs
Curing their head-aches
With drastic side-effects
With drastic side-effects
Doctor rectorates, rectorates
Condescending from on high

See druggist in the sky
In the sky
Vicar experiments
But 'tis blasphemy
Dismissing thought of progress
As the mark of devilry
As the mark of devilry
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
People walk and even talk
People listen then they halt
Something blows up won't come down
Scattered muscles twitch too late to switch
They're dying to switch
They're dying to switch
Switch switch
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
They're dying to switch
They're dying to switch
Switch
Watch the muscles twitch
For a brand new switch
They're dying to switch
They're dying to switch
Yo mic check, mic check, yeah here you go
What? Nah, he, he over here
Yeah, I heard he got that hot new thing
It's called 'Switch'
Let's get it going
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Turn it over and hit it
Hey! Vibe to vibe a second
It's a club girl, why you arrived neckin'?
Hear that, how the veteran glide the record
But don't download, go out and buy the record
Hey! Huh, something sexy 'bout her
Girl on the floor, all her friends around her
I mean real clean, ain't gotta touch or nuttin'
It ain't like I like a chick on chick or sumpin'
I'm just a sucker for a hot track
Gimme a drink and a chick to tell, "Stop that"
Dance is a hop and a clap, flip it 'round
Now bring it on back, break it down
Now switch
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
(Ooh la la la)
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Turn it over and hit it
(Unh unh unh)
(Ooh la la la)
I gotta question, I need to ask somebody
Why is it that when y'all see me at the party
Y'all be looking like, "Ooh, he a movie star
He ain't supposed to be out on the floor with everybody"?
But oh wait, whoa, y'all forgetting
When I was amateur spitting
Before the scripts were written
First one in, last one out the club
Bursting in, passing out in the club
(Hey!)
Back at it, this cat is the wit and the charm
Taking you higher, like a syringe hittin' ya arm
Bringing the fire, making your Benz ring the alarm
Let me see you clap, spin baby, come on
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
(Ooh la la la)
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Turn it over and hit it
(Unh unh unh)
(Ooh la la la)
Hey! Hey!
Oh, you just gonna stand there, huh?
What you too cute to dance, or you scared?
It ain't really that hard to do and
I ain't trying to be in love with you and
All I wanted was a moment or two to
See if you could do that switch-a-roo and
Shut your mouth fool, get your crew and
The thick body and the rear one too and
I'll be right here waiting on you to
See if y'all can do that switch-a-roo
Hey! Hey!
That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
That's what I'm talking bout
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
(Ooh la la la)
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Turn it over and hit it
(Unh unh unh)
(Ooh la la la)
(Switch)
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
Turn around now switch
Hey! Turn it over and hit it
(Ooh la la la)
