Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Jackinabox Lyrics
Turin Brakes
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down to the worlds that are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking a lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think I'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down to the worlds that are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking a lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think I'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think I'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely (x2)
