Metallica - Sweet Amber Lyrics






[x2]
Wash your back so you won't stab mine
Get in bed with your own kind
Live your life so you don't see mine
Drape your back so you won't shine

[x2]
Oh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile

[x4]
Using what I want
To get what you want

Oh Sweet Amber
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?

[x2]
Chase the rabbit, fetch the stick
She rolls me over 'til I'm sick
She deals in habits, deals in pain
I run away but I'm back again

Oh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile
And she squeezes tighter
I still lie to get a smile

[x4]
Using what I want
To get what you want

Oh Sweet Amber
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?

[x2]
She holds the pen that spells the end
She traces me and draws me in

Ooh Sweet Amber
Ooh Sweet Amber

How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?

(It's never as sweet as it seems)

Metallica Sweet Amber Comments
  1. D.... E....

    I really love the 4:30 riff is very simple but the way it comes in is so heavy, one of the Metallica riffs.

  2. J.... W....

    Anyone who as faced alcoholism gets it. Fk the rest of you.

  3. K.... M....

    I’ve always loved this album

  4. H.... ....

    Loved seeing in their documentary how this song was inspired and became this awesome song.

  5. G.... J....

    I absolutely love that more and more people begin to come back to St. Anger and really appreciate it for what it is. Most of the hate that it got initially, I think, came from hardcore thrash fans who were bothered by the fact that it doesn't "sound like Metallica". But what right do any of us have to tell other people whether they should evolve or not?

  6. T.... D....

    I like every song in st anger

  7. E.... S....

    This song could be great but the production holds it back
    The part from 3:45 to 4:05 is one of the most underrated metallica riffs because its stuck on an underproduced headache

  8. R.... V....

    che riffoni!!!

  9. P.... R....

    St. Anger is not a bad album at all. But that doesn't mean it is good. I give it 4,5/10

  10. D.... ....

    I love the snare, it sounds so high schoolish (in a good way).

  11. a.... m....

    Admit it people , load reload and st anger are masterpiece

    a.... m....

    They arent masterpieces in any sense, but there are some very solid gems on each album.

  12. S.... S....

    Time to check which side of my headphones is the left one.

  13. J.... M....

    Another banger on the drums haha now that's comedy

  14. C.... ....

    So much shit going on in my life when this album dropped. It really sums me up at the time.

  15. 1.... ....

    The songs could've been good...

    But the damn guitartone, drums.. It just kills this shit for me.

  16. J.... D....

    Sounds of my teenage time

  17. R.... H....

    Its really a great song.... I've been this song lol. This song and this CD was really good in my book. They were going through alot and the band was falling apart and they still made this album. This almost didn't happen this time could be when they all walked away. Metallica would be with rest that just couldn't get along. Yeah the drums dont sound the best but they put their heart into this.

  18. J.... R....

    Sweet Amber is Metalica next beer name.

  19. B.... C....

    So underrated. Still don't understand why it was "cool" to bash this album.

  20. A.... G....

    Desde el minuto 3:44 hasta el minuto 4:55 el tema es bestial.

  21. t.... ....

    4:29 "OOOOOOH! Sweet AM-ber." One of the best Jaymz-isms ever recorded, buried in the one good song on a shit album.

  22. A.... W....

    🤘🏻

  23. M.... s....

    Everone thinks this album sucks but it really brings out the anger in life

  24. E.... ....

    Sweet Amber (Heard) ❤❤❤❤

  25. A.... G....

    "She holds the pan Lars beats 'til the end... "

  26. C.... ....

    Although I get the hate that goes towards this album, there's some really good shit here, specifically in James's vocals and some of the riffs like the main riff of this song. Give them a break, this time was difficult for everyone and they pretty much told the polished sound to fuck off. Solos and a good drum sound don't make an album, the overall musicianship and meaning of the songs make an album great.

  27. S.... 4....

    3:48 best riff of the song!

  28. A.... G....

    His voice so seductive, my name is Amber..my jam I am sweet..haha

  29. S.... S....

    Best album

  30. S.... L....

    LOL people are like man, St. Anger sucks it only has like 5 good songs on it LMAO. So their worst album still has at least 5 kickass songs. Lol.

  31. O.... ....

    This song is soooo damn good. The Guitar. Drums. Bass. And James voice are just perfect

  32. C.... ....

    Britney Amber brought me here.

  33. G.... E....

    "Are you sure about this?"

  34. f.... ....

    With better production, a proper snare sound and a couple solos, this could have been a hell of a rock track.

    f.... ....

    Fuck rock

  35. A.... K....

    I quit smoking, this song is deep in that shit ( it´s about alcohol, but the lyrics you can also adapts to cigarettes)..
    Chase the rabbit, fetch the stick
    She rolls me over, 'till I'm sick
    She deals in habits, deals in pain
    I run away, but I'm back again

    Just stop smoking now..

  36. F.... R....

    so much potential

  37. A.... i....

    This song will forever the song I want to think is about me

  38. C.... M....

    Without the snare drums this álbum is so good.

  39. V.... 3....

    Shit the last minute is pure heavieness

  40. S.... z....

    Thanks Snan

  41. F.... P....

    This song I better than some kind of monster. Should've been a single. With better production. It's raw and kick-ass

  42. D.... T....

    This album is a fucking riff machine.

  43. A.... C....

    Great riff.

  44. A.... A....

    If they used their early album guitar tones and left the snare alone, this album would be considered good

  45. d.... d....

    man, that 4:31 riff... runs too short tho, considering how drawn out the entire record is they should've jammed on it for at least 2 minutes

  46. f.... a....

    Every metallica's album reflects the feeling of their time.just like whem you listen a friend i listen every album like was a friend.every one of us can find yourself in A metallica's song/album....and then metallica is my personal band and nothing else matters.

  47. G.... ....

    This song is so much better played live!

  48. J.... B....

    4:32 god bless this riff

  49. D.... W....

    This album could have been good if they tried to produce it.......

  50. H.... ....

    What an awsome track!

  51. L.... ....

    Good song, but why does it sound like my speaker is standing in a wooden box??? Like a freakin DEMO from 1992...

    L.... ....

    bad upload quality, if you buy the actual cd it does sound better (even though it still sounds like St Anger).

  52. J.... E....

    I liked St. Anger

  53. a.... ....

    riff making company METALLICA

  54. J.... S....

    Best track from this record

  55. j.... c....

    this and lulu are the only horrible albums by Metallica. everything else is good

  56. T.... K....

    4:31 to 4:52, Oh my GOD!

  57. a.... b....

    Great song heavy love it

  58. F.... R....

    St anger is a underrated album, fact

  59. C.... 1....

    man , 4:30 ----4:50 😈😈😈

  60. T.... G....

    the more i watch the documentary "some kind of monster" the more i get into this album.

    T.... G....

    One big therapy session for the band, I loved the album prior to seeing Some Kinda Monster, but after watching it I had a deeper appreciation

  61. S.... K....

    That's such a beautiful song that I can even endure its awful trumpet tune.

  62. A.... J....

    I'd cover this song without the snare

  63. T.... Q....

    This song about beer or being ate out?

  64. N.... L....

    (3:44 - End) When Metallica got too heavy for mainstream...

  65. J.... B....

    4:32 ........ god bless this riff 😂

  66. S.... ....

    SWEEET AMBEEEEEEER HOW SWEET ARE YOUUUUUUU

  67. S.... ....

    4:31 the riff tho

  68. C.... S....

    Long live real music!

  69. M.... R....

    шедевр.

  70. T.... ....

    Still shreds in 2017, who's with me

  71. J.... J....

    I fuxking love that riff ...

  72. T.... T....

    This is the song that I hate the most from Metallica.

  73. J.... D....

    Major improvement on the Load and Reload albums

  74. i.... �....

    metallica

  75. D.... D....

    How sweet are you?
    How sweet does it get?

  76. C.... B....

    Amber sounds sweet

  77. I.... N....

    It's from 3:44 to 5:27 that makes my dick hard

  78. M.... �....

    3:45 god damn that riff is awesome

  79. b.... g....

    Im having a really hard time deciding whether i like this or not.

  80. A.... N....

    In my opinion, the only good song on the album.

  81. E.... S....

    The snare cool

  82. F.... ....

    I think that if they would have put some more effort in finishing this properly and a bit less in pretending to be a cool nu-metal band, this could actually had turned out to be a good song. Shame.

  83. D.... ....

    it's pretty good if the god damn drum sounds was produced in much better way man. HOW SWEET DOES IT GET?????????

  84. N.... ....

    I kind of like this album more than the Black album. I like the Black album but the songs are just so overplayed (i.e. Enter Sandman, The Unforgiven, etc.)

  85. K.... ....

    It's not that Ulrich plays bad: it's recorded like shit, that's all. Nice song anyway.

  86. N.... L....

    3:26 ->Is absolutely the most Black Metal Mainstream I have ever heard...

  87. c.... r....

    the purists can fuck off, this track is massive.

  88. V.... H....

    Wish they would have kept the guitar fills they had in the raw track featured in SKOM. Bad ass tune though.

  89. S.... ....

    Its perfect to headbanging

  90. L.... F....

    3:50 Lars' drumming is God tier for once

  91. d.... w....

    i fucking love that gallopy riff at 3:45

  92. D.... M....

    This whole album is just as good as their 80s shit. Just a different metallica

    D.... M....

    Yes it is just as good

    D.... M....

    @AmericanGinger yes, all metallica albums are good in there own way

  93. A.... A....

    A true Metallica fan understands this album and loves the snare.

  94. K.... ....

    Sweet Amber isnt a chick..............its beer people. He is talking about beer. She holds his hand and everything.

  95. T.... ....

    Whenever I feel like I'm about to have a breakdown st.anger seems to help

  96. d.... ....

    The prehistoric days of dunkindonutmaster09.
