Lyrics
Tom Tom turn around Tom Tom lived for all he could give And he stood by his father's side Then into his world came a sweet young girl And he took her for his bride And he took her for his bride Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down Don't ever leave my life Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down You don't need a wife No, you don't need a wife Tom's called away, but his wife says "stay" 'Though he's never had to leave before Sweet young wife only fears for the good life That she may see no more And then he hears her call Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down Don't ever leave my life Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down You can't leave your wife, No, you can't leave your wife Funny Funny Tell me is it really true This feelin' that I feel for you Your own kind of lovin' That makes me think nothing Could ever take the place of you And it's so funny funny What you do, honey, honey What you do, what you mean to me And you know, honey, honey Though it's so funny funny That you mean all the world to me Can't imagine lovin' anyone but you (Honey honey, so funny funny) Every minute lovin' everything you do (Honey honey, so funny funny) Couldn't see my way without you Now I gotta tell the world about you Tell me is it really true This feelin' that I feel for you Your own kind of lovin' That makes me think Nothing could ever take the place of you Blockbuster You better beware, you better take care You better watch out if you've got long black hair He'll come from behind, you go out of your mind You better not go, you never know what you'll find You look in his eyes, don't be surprised If you don't know what's going on behind his disguise Nobody knows where Buster goes He'll steal your woman out from under your nose Does anyone know the way, did we hear someone say We just haven't got a clue what to do Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way To Block Buster! The cops are out, they're running about Don't know if they'll ever be able to Block Buster out He's gotta be caught, he's gotta be taught 'Cos he's more evil than anyone here ever thought Does anyone know the way did we hear someone say We just haven't got a clue - ow! Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way Teenage rampage AII over the land the kids are finally startin' to get the upper hand. They're out in the streets they turn on the heat and soon they could be completely in command. Imagine the sensation Of teenage occupation At thirteen they'll be learning And at fourteen they'll be burnin' But there's something in the air of which we all will be aware. But they don't care No, no, no, no, so Come join the revolution Get yourself the constitution Come join the revolution now And recognize your age it's a teenage rampage Turn another page on the teenage rampage now. So recognize your age it's a teenage rampage Turn another page on the teenage rampage Now now now now now now now now . . . They're getting it on, ain't doing it wrong but they're gonna do it it won't be long. They gotta be heard they got the word they really belong and now they're coming on strong. Imagine the formation Of teenage legislation At thirteen they were fooling But at sixteen they'll be rulin' And there's something in the air Of which we all will be aware And they don't care No, no, no, no, so Come join the revolution Get yourself the constitution Come join the revolution now And recognize your age it's a teenage rampage Turn another page on the teenage rampage now. So recognize your age it's a teenage rampage Turn another page on the teenage rampage Now The Sixteens Where were you in sixty-eight In sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date Two kids growin' together Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away Mmm, they were just sixteen And their love a teenage dream They passed the time, they crossed the line The line that ran between Julie and Johnnie now you've made it B

Everything I'd forgotten about hearing as a kid in the 70's, and then denied as being "uncool" as I grew up. Remembering it now it's just so damn awesome! :D A totally brilliant medley K-E, riff-tastic and produced to perfection. Without doubt a true highlight of the night.

This is a truly outstanding medley!!!!! The vocal duos are perfect for the beat and lyrics. Also, the instrumentation is matched just right for the lyrical messages. I love this song, and thank you for such a great '70's treat - SWEET, INDEED. Also, thanks for the dl of this superb recording, Friend Knuderik.

What a creative concept. Incredible compilation of wonderful gems of the 70’s. Professional mix+production of each track. Much time had to go into this project. I certainly congratulated you a job well done.

Oh yeah K-E I'd almost forgotten The Sweet but actually they were a really great band - sort of a guilty pleasure back then but they had such great songs and your versions are just brilliant. Fantastic stuff Knud Erik - 12 minutes of wonderful nostalgia!

You have such a gift for churning out tunes with poignant storylines and snappy, memorable, infectious choruses.....and you keep it rolling with this brilliantly chosen set of covers by The Sweet. Heavy, driving, melodic, fun, amazing. Love everything about this!

Very posh and professional sound with many angles and dimensions. Got some folk, and then some rock and then lots of other things!! Has a Moody Blues kind of feel.
