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.

Breakdown Lyrics

Sweet

(ConnollyPriestScottTucker)
Yesterday I flew straight into tomorrow
Today I'm gonna lose
The ups and the downs
And the seeds that they sow
Blowin' hot and cold
Must be getting old
Everybody knows,
The cubes that you knock back
Won't reincarnate
You are trapped it's your fate
Very soon it's too late
So you give up and
Break down, stay down
Break down, low down
Break down, stay down
Stay down, break down
Head is playin' tricks
Colours are appearin'
But black and white don't mix
With stories I'm hearing
They're bringing me down
If you don't help me soon
I think I'm going crazy
I just broke up the room
Give me a piece of the
World that I know
Where the seeds that I sow
Are the minds that I blow
So I give up and
Break down, stay down
Break down, low down
Break down, stay down
Stay down, break down
