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.

Another rolloercoaster ride from dusk 'til dawn
Another soul ascends as another child is born
Our fate is written in the stars
(Ever and evermore)
We're ruled by Jupiter, Venus and Mars
I wanna live forever
I heard you say
But never say forever
That ain't the way
'Cause I don't wanna live life by design
So never say forever
It's such a long, long time.
Perpetual emotion. take me for your slave
I'm under your command from the cradle to the grave
Into the future with eyes closed
(Ever and evermore)
The road to nowhere where nobody goes
I wanna live forever
I heard you say
But never say forever
That ain't the way
'Cause I don't wanna live life by design
So never say forever
It's such a long, long time.
