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.

New York Connection Lyrics

Sweet

It takes eight days where I wanna go
Well, there's just me am I only go
I've got no face to make this slow
The further I travel the less I know
Somebody help me get home
I can't spend my whole life alone
Somebody help me get home
I don't wanna be on my own
Won't somebody put me
In the right direction
'Cause all I need is
A New York connection
Really need a woman's affection
I've got to make the close connection
Somebody help me get home
I can't spend my whole life alone
Somebody help me get home
I don't wanna be all alone
Somebody help me get home
I can't spend my whole life alone
Somebody help me get home
I don't wanna be on my own
Don't wanna be on my own
I don't wanna be on my own
I don't wanna be on my own
I don't wanna be on my own
I don't wanna be on my own...
