Sweet - The Six Teens Lyrics
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
Oh, they were just sixteen
They passed the time, they crossed the line
The line that ran between
Julie and Johnnie now you've made it
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens
Suzie and Davey got to make the big time
Maybe they can put it all together
In a show that lasts forever
Oh, they would walk the strip at nights
And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard
They'll light the faded light
Suzie and Davey you can make it
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens
So where were you in sixty-eight
When Bobby and Billy thought
That sixty-eight was out of date?
They took the flowers from their hair
And tried to make us all aware, too bad, too late
So they lived from day to day
And tried to do it all their way
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight
No matter what they say
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it one day
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
(You'll never go wrong)
'Cause you're all
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
(You'll never go wrong)
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)...

Glam Rock Gods !!!!
Брайан спивает - закачаешся ! 🤘🐱🤘👍
Fan bis zum bitteren Ende A+++
Ich habe Sweet geliebt. Ich höre immer noch ihre Musik und schaue mir so gerne die Videos und Fotos meiner Helden an. Wenn ich an das Schicksal von Brian Conolly denke, werde ich traurig. Und mir ist jetzt erst richtig bewusst geworden, was Mick Tucker für ein toller Schlagzeuger war. Was für eine geniale Truppe. Nicht unerwähnt lassen möchte ich ihre Hitproduzenten Chapman und Chinn.
SWEET SIXTEEN WHEN I MET YOU X IN THE SIXTIES. YES WE ARE 2 OF THE SIXTIES ,PEOPLE WERE STILL HERE ANS WERE STILL TOGETHER AND STILL IN LOVE.XXXX.
This is some groovy shit man......nice
ha ha, not used that line for decades.
Kobe Klassika. 🍸😊🍬🐝👂
ok supr
I'll second that !!
Never liked this song in the past, but it's briliant, me like.
I remember I heard a radio speaker talking about The Sweet in 1973. I was then 13 years old. The speaker said that the members of The Sweet called themselves a serious rock band. As he said this words he started laughing and couldn't stop laughing. At this moment I wished I could give him a good slap in the face although I never was and still I am not a person who likes violence. Why did most of the "respected music press" thought of The Sweet as a band they could make fun of them? I still don't understand why they had such a big problem in accepting The Sweet as one of the greatest english bands of all time? And still I know people who name the music-style of The (original) Sweet sort of primitiv. I can't agree at all to this opinion! The Sweet were then and are still today my all-time-favourite band!
My mother loves Sweet.R.I.P.Mama
They played the commercial stuff on their A sides which was still excellent but it's on their B sides where you'll find the real hidden gems much heavier more adult sweet at there best are right up there with the best of British rock n roll bands
У меня любовь к sweet на всю жизнь. Люблю. Люблю. Люблю. What can l do.люблю.
Люблю вассссс...
Где ты был в шестьдесят восьмом,
Когда Джонни встретил Джули в нём?
Два ребенка росли вместе,
И время летело для них день за днём.
О, лишь шестнадцать было им,
Подросткам – мечтать о такой любви.
Они сквозь дни и сквозь черту-
Разлучницу, прошли.
Джули и Джонни, вы сумели!
(Припев):
Но жизнь идёт,
непросто – надо признаться,
И ты быть должен силён,
Когда тебе лишь шестнадцать.
Но жизнь идёт
непросто, и ты знаешь это.
И что прав – ты всегда убежден,
Ведь вы все –
часть шестнадцатилетних.
Сьюзи и Дэйви так мечтали о победах…
Может, жизнь сложилась их успешно
В шоу том, что длится вечно.
В мечтах – в ночи идут они,
В огнях читая имена свои,
На Безысходности проспекте
Они вновь зажгут огни.
Сьюзи и Дэйви, вам по силам!
(Припев)
Но жизнь идёт,
непросто – надо признаться,
И ты быть должен силён,
Когда тебе лишь шестнадцать.
Но жизнь идёт
непросто, и ты знаешь это.
И что прав – ты всегда убежден,
Ведь вы все –
часть шестнадцатилетних.
А где ты был в шестьдесят восьмом,
Когда Бобби и Билли думали,
Что шестьдесят восьмой – старьё? … … ?
Цветы рвут из своих волос,
Чтоб знали все то, что стряслось:
Плохой Конец!
И так и жили день за днём,
Идти стремясь своим путём,
Но год был шестьдесят восьмой,
Что ни скажи о нём.
Бобби и Билли, вам удастся, быть может…
(Припев)
Но жизнь идёт,
непросто – надо признаться,
И ты быть должен силён,
Когда тебе лишь шестнадцать.
Но жизнь идёт
непросто, и ты знаешь это.
И что прав – ты всегда убежден,
Ведь вы все –
часть шестнадцатилетних.
Спасибо за перевод текста! Шикарная песня! Цепляет...
Surely the 'sixteens' ?
I was 8 years old! Where has all the time gone? 😩
@Karen Fulton Hank Marvin... He's brilliant
@Mark Lynch I can't say that I have heard of him! Australia is a very big country! I'm located on the East coast! We hear more of what goes on all around the world, than what we have in our own backyard! LOL
@Karen Fulton Google him, and you will probably recognise him
@Mark Lynch LOL Yes! I Googled! 😎 LOL Now I know! I had no idea he lived in Australia! I'm a bit surprised that you haven't heard off Lee Hazlewood! He also worked with Duane Eddy!
Cheers Karen
@Karen Fulton I will have a look later when I'm on my lunch break 😁
Immer wieder gut.
Für mich immer noch einer der größten The Sweet Hits. Dieser Song lief im Sommer 1974 "rauf und runter". Die Single B-Seite ist ebenfalls ein Knaller!
nobody knows ...
The life goes on that is truth!!!!!!!
Where were you in sixty eight,I dont know??????
Tot de dag van vandaag behoort The Sweet tot mijn favoriete band uit de jaren 70 hun muziek blijft heerlijk om te horen
wow, this is freakin good....
Se llama los 6 adolescentes o los dieciséis? The six teens Or the sixteens
Brian beatifull voices 2019 70s Tijuana Baja California
Brian beautifull wuaoooo
"What-a-bunch-of-poofs."
(My father calling out loud..like the sergeant major in It ain't half as hot mum).
0:50 That part is so Robert Plant/Rob Halford. The rest of the song is a mix of Bowie and Queen.
LA PERFECTION MAGNIFIQUE
Отличное звучание. Напомнили АВВА и QUEEN в лучшем смысле!
I remember my first kiss
Schöne Erinnerungen an die Jugend, tolle Zeiten waren es.
Diesen Song hab ich damals rauf und runter gehört. Höre ich heute noch sehr gern, die 70 er waren die besten
Wow Brian was totally brain fried before he died so sad and a cautionary tale kids!
Looking back, this is one of The Sweet's most underrated songs, a stand alone classic. Brian Connolly was a truly gifted vocalist . A giant who was so much more than his image, great rock voice with a trained range
classic
Ein sehr sehr geiler Titel und die am meisten unterschätzte Band ich liebe sie seit Wig Wam Bam
Brian und Stevie sind in ihren Stimmen der Hammer
Für immer bleiben Brian und Mick unter uns mit ihrer Musik😍😍😍😍💞😘😘😘
Sie waren die besten!!!!!!! Forever in our memories and our Hearts!!!!!🎸🎶🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Brians voice wonderful...... Charisma and a Smile of a Angel..🎸🎶🎤🎧
Great band!!!
I love The Sweet, no weal link anywhere but holy shit, Mick Tucker completely knocks them over the top for me, his drumming is a rocking force that surely can't be denied by anyone with ears.
Meine Lieblingsband der 70er Jahre...sowas kommt nie wieder...
höre heute noch deren songs...👍👌👏
Hands down one of the best songs of the entire 70s
sure is
How many big bands in the day would have wanted Mick!.......SKILLED
Mick Tucker kicks arse again!
R.I.P🍃🌹🍃Brian & Mick
The vocals are divine! A sense of rhythm unsurpassed by anyone and ever! Ensemble the only on all times.
Fuck Yeah Broadbent
LYRICS:
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.
Oh, 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
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens.
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens.
(Guitar)
Suzie and Davey got to make the big time
Maybe they can put it all together
In a show that lasts forever.
Oh, they would walk the strip at nights
And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard
They'll light the faded light.
Suzie and Davey you can make it
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy.
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens
(Guitar)
So where were you in sixty-eight
When Bobby and Billy thought
That sixty-eight was out of date?
They took the flowers from their hair
And tried to make us all aware, too bad, too late.
So they lived from day to day
And tried to do it all their way
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight
No matter what they say
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it one day.
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
(You'll never go wrong)
'Cause you're all
And life (and life) goes on (goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy...
Låtskrivare: Chinn and Chapman.
The Sweet were reviled by the respected music press but they proved them all wrong. They had real talent.
As Lemmy would have said, they don’t know their arse from a hole in the ground.
super!!
Sweet before Queen.
Jeez Andy was fit!
So bloody good looking!
The best Song for me The Six Teens ❤I love it
This was Brian Connolly's favourite Sweet song also !
Forever The Sweet👍👄😚
Ja Petra , der emotionalste Song mit Brian, Andy, Stevie und Mick !! Jedesmal Gänsehaut pur !!❤
Einfach toll und schöne Erinnerungen an die Jugend.
@petra scheiblich *SAME* :-) :-D
When it comes 2 music-I have-All by myself-Gone global.---------------------LOVE.
Ahh.... really evokes the memories of the summer of 1974.
Best Sweet-Song of all time and.....the Original SWEET are LEGEND!
Brian Connolly's favourite Sweet song !
You have to say thats magnificent !
I love this kind of upbeat, hard driving rock! The music itself is terrific but the vocals from all the band's members really compliment each other amazingly well. I prefer the songs they wrote themselves but their earlier pop stuff was still fun and well written.
When I am hearing it I,ve got goose flesh all over
This is almost heavy metal.
First video i saw with no dislikes. 😍
yvette quiwa You know you’re just asking for some arsehole to down vote this when you leave a comment like that. And guess what.....
Best band ever!
Brilliantly
Ich liebe diesen Song über alles💗 💗 Brian war ein toller Sänger !!! Dieser Song wurde bei seiner Beerdigung gespielt. War Brian sein Lieblingssong💖💖💖💖❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😪😪😪 Er lebt in meinem 💖 en immer weiter
Gaby Sehmisch
Ja ich mag den Song auch sehr gern einer der besten❤❤ ja du hast recht das war Brian Lieblingssong❤
L.G Karin👋
This song is good by the way
Were they an inspiration to Queen?
They absolutely were, in my opinion, in terms of vocal style and stage presence.
lewisner and Beatles too.
They were in the same time as Queen, so they found inspiration in 60s bands: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Cream and more.
Yes, Brian May has said that the Queen members always admired Sweet's singles and how they sounded. He also left a tribute to Brian Connolly after BC's death. Bowie's guitarist Mick Ronson also said that he liked Sweet a lot .
Andy has a very similar style to Brian on the guitar, especially in 'Fever of Love'
MICK LOVE💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟
lorena giagnoni best sweet song ever
the sweet es el mejor grupo del mundo 🌎🌏🌍💕💚💙💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟
lorena giagnoni Porsupuesto... El mejor grupo...
