Although Sweet were largely known for their glam rock image, and several hit singles -- many of them being so-called teenage anthems -- they also released several albums throughout a ten year career. The extent of Sweet's domination of the charts in Europe resulted in eight number one singles in Germany, with pop oriented tunes as "Co Co", "Little Willy", and "Wig Wam Bam". Sweet's success continued with more rock oriented tunes, such as "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser", "Ballroom Blitz", "Teenage Rampage", and "Fox On The Run". The group had a world-wide following (clocking up no less than 18 top 20 hit singles) and were most notably popular in the UK, Germany and Australia. The classic Sweet line-up consisted of vocalist Brian Connolly, drummer Mick Tucker, bassist Steve Priest, and guitarist Andy Scott.

Alabama Man Lyrics

Sweet

3 down, 2 up
He's gonna take a shot
Alabama green base
The dice is his vice
He throws those dice, to save hit life
He's spinning around, with the.............

Alabama fever, yeah
He's gone too far
That mississippi man
He wants to be a star

But the New York hustler,huh
He's got his eye on him
With his fingers in his pocket
Of that satin vest,yeah
He'll bring him down

To see his shot
To call his bluff
Yeah just to put him down
When the aces are around

Hey mister, you got a spare place here?
Well,I'm just passin' through
An d I need to waste some time
On my way down the line, yeah

Alabama fever
he's gone too far,huh
Ok Buddy, you can pull up a chair

But the New York hustler
Oh,he wasn't aware
Of the rul?s of the game,huh
He'll high roll no more
He reached too far
Into the pocket of that satin vest
Goodbye Alabama, hello Skid Row
He's going back

Skid Row I'm coming; I got,
I went too far
I'm coming back
