Sweet - 4th Of July Lyrics

We called this power pop growing up. We were endlessly entertained playing with the album cover, making it 'give us a wink'.

yum yum music

Why are there no bands that harmonize like this anymore? This is amazing!

The fool got up and hit my face
I couldn't make it to the door
I took a sip and drained the tap
And life became a thing to stab
Aha
I couldn't understand it
My days were in a daze
Is it bloody Sunday
I'd better save my prayers
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And when the stars came down
I was higher than the 4th of July
Whizzing right across the sky
High, high, higher
Believe the lies I told myself
I wasn't into something I own
No way
I held my breath I count to ten
So turn around round round
And do it again
I couldn't understand it
My life was all a blaze
Is it bloody Sunday
My days were in a daze
When the stars came down
I was higher than the 4th of July
Whizzing right across the sky
High, high, higher
And when the stars fell down
You know I' m gonna burn up the town
It's the 4th of July
And I was getting so high
When the stars came down
I was higher than the 4th of July
Whizzing right across the sky
High, high, higher

I bought this album in Penzance,UK when I was a kid.....

so good

Happy Fourth of July! Great song 😘🎈💕

Sweet I'm impressed with these guy's

Their next single after Lies In Your Eyes, but it was only released in Australia as a single, maybe it would have been done in all over, cos it is amazing good and sound even today so fresh and new.
4th OF July is a real gem on the album Give Us A Wink (1976). Their hardest rock album ever.

brilliant song / brilliant album !!!!
