Turn The Page

Composta por Bob Seger no início dos anos setenta, Turn The Page é considerado um dos melhores temas dessa década e foi adaptado pelos Metallica em 1998 com a mestria que se lhes conhece: mantiveram o tempo mas tornaram o som mais pesado. Curiosamente, é um dos temas que vai ser editado em Guitar Hero: Metallica :-). O videoclip foi realizado por Jonas Akerlund (é a única colaboração com a banda de Los Angeles até ao momento) e conta com várias particularidades: trata-se do primeiro vídeo feito pelos Metallica a partir de uma cover song; existem duas versões, sendo que a versão censurada não contém as cenas em casa e no clube de striptease; a actiz é Ginger Lynn Allen, conhecida no meio da indústria do cinema para adultos como Ginger Lynn.
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moanin' out its one note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like riding you just wish the trip was through

Here I am, on the road again | There I am, up on the stage
There I go, playin' star again | There I go, turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk but other times you can
All the same old clichés: "Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered you don't dare make a stand (Make your stand)

(Whoa-oh) Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
Later in the evenin' as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette rememberin' what she said

Here I am, on the road again | There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playn' star again | There I go, turn the page
And there I go, turn that page | There I go (And I'm gone)
