Turkish Tram Conductor Blues

Move · Other Songs - Move

Hey Mr. Judge, your trams are coming down the line

the cargo aint too much if you can chase the friends of mine

I heard they smuggle in the goods

along the western union line





Once on a time the...kids...

been so unkind run over the inspector man

discovered they were yellow

finally threw them in the can



CHORUS

Turn over turn over

turn over turn over

turn over turn over

Id hate to throw you back again

oh yes



Turn the volume up until you blow the speaker cone

hey Mr. Judge you have to give your dog a bone

theres a...in the rhino kitchen

send him on a china call

Turkish Tram Conductor Blues

Move's "Turkish Tram Conductor Blues" stands as a quintessential example of their unique blend of psychedelic rock and progressive pop. Released during the height of their international success, the track exemplifies the band's signature approach to songwriting, characterized by intricate guitar work and a distinct, often melancholic atmosphere. While Move is best known for their 1970s hits like "Super Sonic Dance," this composition showcases their versatility and ability to craft complex, atmospheric soundscapes that have become staples of their discography. The song reflects the era's fascination with Eastern influences and surreal imagery, delivered through a polished studio production that defined the British progressive rock sound of the time. It remains a significant song in their catalogue, representing the band's evolution beyond their most famous singles.
