Stylisticly, The Feeling have a debt of gratitude to the 70s, particularly bands such as 10cc, Supertramp, Pilot, Buggles, Queen, Stackridge, and other "progressive pop" acts. They are not averse to wearing their heart on their sleeve at gigs, playing covers of tunes by their favourite artists (such as 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by Buggles).
The Feeling have also followed the 'progressive' tradition of the concept album, with Twelve Stops and Home being a concept album about lost and unrequited love. The album starts with a relationship having just broken up, then follows through with the various emotions of the protagonist from hopeless dreamer to turning to drink for comfort, and finally slumping home.
Not Be Turned
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go walking through lanes
Clears my mind
Don't take too long 'til I see what I've done
Oh, those city boys sure have me blind
Did you mean it when you said I love you?
Did you mean it when you said I need you, oh
All that we need's another faker in the world
My back will not be turned
Go for the money, boy, it's all you'll ever earn
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
So I return with this lesson I've learnt
And a feeling that burns inside
Singing, 'there's no way I'm going to be fooled this time'
They will mean it when they say I miss you, yes
They will mean it when they say we miss you, yes
All that we need's another faker in the world
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
Go for the money, boy, it's all you'll ever earn
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
There's no way I'm going to be fooled this time
Doesn't anybody say?
Doesn't anybody say?
Doesn't anybody say?
We miss you
We miss you
We miss you
All that we need's another faker in the world
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
Go for the money, boy, it's all you'll ever earn
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
My lesson has been learnt
My lesson has been learnt
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
My back will not be turned
The Feeling's song "Not Be Turned" is about the struggle of trying to remain true to oneself in a world that values money and fame above all else. The singer describes walking through peaceful lanes far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. He finds that this clears his mind and helps him to see things more clearly. He then questions whether or not the people around him truly mean what they say, particularly when it comes to love and affection. He realizes that there are many "fakers" in the world, and he is determined not to become one of them. He refuses to turn his back on his ideals and morals, even if it means giving up the chance to make a lot of money.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration with a world that values the wrong things. The singer recognizes that there are many people who will do whatever it takes to make money, even if it means sacrificing their own integrity. He refuses to be one of those people, and he encourages others to do the same. The repeated refrain of "my back will not be turned" emphasizes the importance of standing up for oneself and one's beliefs.
Overall, "Not Be Turned" is a powerful statement about the importance of staying true to oneself in a world that often seems to value money and fame above all else. It encourages listeners to think carefully about their own values and priorities and to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of pressure to conform.
Line by Line Meaning
Far from the smell of Picadilly trains
I leave the commotion of the city behind and walk through quiet lanes to clear my mind
Don't take too long 'til I see what I've done
I reflect on my actions and take responsibility for my mistakes
Oh, those city boys sure have me blind
The fast-paced lifestyle of the city has blinded me to what truly matters
Did you mean it when you said I love you?
I question the sincerity of someone's expression of love towards me
All that we need's another faker in the world
The world doesn't need any more insincere and fake people
My back will not be turned
I will not turn my back on my principles and integrity
Go for the money, boy, it's all you'll ever earn
The pursuit of wealth will only bring temporary satisfaction and cannot replace genuine relationships

I come back with a valuable lesson learned from my experiences
Singing, 'there's no way I'm going to be fooled this time'
I am determined not to fall for any more lies or deceit
They will mean it when they say I miss you, yes
I have faith that someone truly misses me when they say so
Doesn't anybody say? We miss you
I hope to hear someone express genuine feelings of missing me
All that we need's another faker in the world
The world does not benefit from insincerity
My lesson has been learnt
I have gained a valuable lesson and will apply it moving forward
My back will not be turned

[Verse 1]
I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flying up, no ceiling, when we in our zone
[Refrain]
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop
[Pre-Chorus]
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
[Chorus]
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
A feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance (Come on)
[Verse 2]
Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on
I don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
[Refrain]
'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop
[Pre-Chorus]
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
[Chorus]
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
A feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance (Come on)
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing (Come on)
[Bridge]
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the feeling
[Chorus]
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
(I can't stop the feeling)
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
[Outro]
Everybody sing
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Wanna see you move your body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body, come on
Break it down
Got this feeling in my body
Can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
