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
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

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That sixty-eight was out of date?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)...

    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.

  8. P.... B....

    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.

  13. F.... ....

    Never liked this song in the past, but it's briliant, me like.

  14. T.... X....

    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!

  15. D.... P....

    My mother loves Sweet.R.I.P.Mama

  16. M.... B....

    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

  17. S.... N....

    У меня любовь к sweet на всю жизнь. Люблю. Люблю. Люблю. What can l do.люблю.

  18. G.... N....

    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.

    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...

    The Sweet were reviled by the respected music press but they proved them all wrong. They had real talent.

    W.... P....

    As Lemmy would have said, they don’t know their arse from a hole in the ground.

  53. S.... H....

    super!!

  54. L.... S....

  59. S.... T....

    Best Sweet-Song of all time and.....the Original SWEET are LEGEND!

    S.... T....

    Brian Connolly's favourite Sweet song !

  60. H.... S....

    You have to say thats magnificent !

  61. K.... M....

    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.

  62. �.... �....

    When I am hearing it I,ve got goose flesh all over

  63. H.... ....

    This is almost heavy metal.

  64. y.... q....

    Ja ich mag den Song auch sehr gern einer der besten❤❤ ja du hast recht das war Brian Lieblingssong❤
    L.G Karin👋

  68. R.... ....

    This song is good by the way

  69. R.... ....

    Were they an inspiration to Queen?

    R.... ....

    They absolutely were, in my opinion, in terms of vocal style and stage presence.

    R.... ....

    lewisner and Beatles too.

    R.... ....

    They were in the same time as Queen, so they found inspiration in 60s bands: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Cream and more.

    R.... ....

    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 .

    R.... ....

    Andy has a very similar style to Brian on the guitar, especially in 'Fever of Love'
