Sweet - Keep It In Lyrics






If you want the power
If you got the power
Keep it in
Don't need no distraction
You got my reaction
Keep it in

Hold on to what you've got
Hold on oh, yeah
Hold on to what you've got
Hold on

Take me to the tower
Take me to the tower
Keep me in
Set my soul on fire
Burn me with desire
Keep it in

Hold on to what you've got
Hold on ah, yeah
Hold on to what you've got
Hold on

If you want the power
If you got the power
Keep it in
Take me to the tower
Take me to the tower
Keep me in

Hold on to what you've got
Hold on, yeah, yeah
Hold on to what you've got
Hold on ah

    Used to watch that metal show a lot and it seemed the only seventies bands Eddie Trunk ever talked about were UFO,Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple and sure they were great but their were lots of others including these guys who still don't get the credit they deserve.

  8. M.... C....

    what more do YOU need just perfection

  9. M.... N....

    My first musical heroes and the last! Wow! The drums! The vocals! The guitars! The bass! The song! The production!

    M.... N....

    :D :D :D

    M.... N....

    Think you said it all 😃👍

    M.... N....

    Totally agree !!

  10. j.... a....

    You can't really wink any harder than this tune right here.

  11. j.... a....

    Wink off!

  12. J.... M....

    wow total rock so cool ...

  13. O.... F....

    DRUMS AWESOME

  14. R.... B....

    awesome trackfrom a very underrrated band i agree like ufo 2 great great rockin bands

  15. S.... S....

    Sweet and UFO, without a doubt the most talented bands to never get big in America, such a damn shame

  16. S.... S....

    I seriously wonder if rush was influenced by them

    S.... S....

    It is strangely reminiscent.

  17. M.... C....

    A sweet fan all my life since the school play ground now at 56 it's sounds even better the real fab 4 That UK has pity this album isn't done over on some music channel sky arts ECT or even BBC to make up for not bringing the legends at the top queen or zep purple not a patch on Bc and the boys

  18. s.... ....

    Oh fuck yeah!!! this is ass busting.

  19. M.... O....

    There was ALWAYS an awesome muscularity to Sweet's sound & musicianship - even on the Chinn/Chapman 'hits'. To me (even as a young kid at the time), there were only 2 bands 'in it' around glam rock proper : Slade were yer luvv-able rogues & brilliant purveyors of the 'football terrace anthem' but - beneath all the glitter, lippy, tight pants & stack-heeled boots - Sweet were THUGS at heart & their musical precision & ear for a killer tune (esp once they were allowed to be themselves by producers) was always gonna tek-yer-head-off. This track sums up what they were individually/collectively capable of & their style was hugely influential (eg : early Queen fans take note). Thunderous - RIP Mick n Brian.

  20. B.... P....

    One of Sweet's greatest album tracks IMO. The band is absolutely on fire on this track! The musicianship here is as tight as can be.

  21. R.... J....

    Underrated kick ass band!

  22. D.... W....

    I have been sweet fan since I was 15 we're talking some years now I have listened to all their albums this has got to be their best album for me love this track it's a shame we have all got to get old missed their music

  23. t.... l....

    I'm an old Sweet fan. Damn ...this is great. Never noticed this track...until now. WOW !!

  24. A.... U....

    Listen to this GIVE US A WINK -album..one of the greatest Heavy Metal. Even Lemmy Kilminster oif Hawkwind went to it.....not talking about Ozzy...

  25. j.... w....

    so glad i grew up in the 70s

    j.... w....

    me too.joyce.

  26. A.... K....

    And to think their record company wouldn't even let them play on their early hits like "Funny, Funny."

  27. M.... S....

    The original album sleeve still gives me a wink....timeless band.

  28. J.... W....

    geiler Hardrock vom feinsten

  29. b.... ....

    OMFG, these guys grew into world class musicians! Totally under-appreciated as musicians.

    b.... ....

    the more I listen to them,the more I appreciate their music!!they are totally one of the best!!!

    b.... ....

    couldn't agree more fucking class all the way knew their craft for sure loved and love them still.

    b.... ....

    I still have the vinyls but have upgraded to downloads & Bluetooth. I totally agree, they could've held there own with any musicians today. I saw them right after Brian passed in a rock bar in Portland,Or. they brought the house down. Damn I'll miss the original lineup.

  30. J.... O....

    love the band my teenage years! such an awesome time the bear

  31. L.... ....

    Awesome track!

  32. G.... C....

    Jeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. J.... O....

    great band and song as good as any other rock band out there sadly sweet didnt tour the uk after 1974 and failed to play with the who at charlton rock in 1974 which would have kickstarted there rock carreer in the uk. sadly beacause of what happend to brian sadly wasnt to be and they didnt capitolise on it. so no real rock fans heard sweet albums onlyfanny adams charted sadly wasnt to be the solos jazz timeings in this are amazeing sweet at there very best

  34. k.... f....

    a sweet fan from the 70s ,but never herd this song,

  35. Z.... P....

    perfektní souhra - prostě paráda ! ! 

    Z.... P....

    ano hesky band.

  36. M.... O....

    Brian Connolly is the voice of the Sweet
    Brian and Mick RIP

    M.... O....

    I´m with you !

  37. T.... ....

    Great celtic rock style guitar here at times  from Andy .  From Sweet's best heavy album as far as I am concerned and up there with 'Level Headed' as their best album.

  38. C.... R....

    neil who ? blows pert away

    C.... R....

    for sure that was some tight drumming he could rock with the best mate.

    C.... R....

    Craig Rathbun Neil is so overrated, very good but very overrated much like John Bonham, every other prog and jazz fusion drummer dwarfs peart, even Paicey from deep purple out plays neil

  39. C.... ....

    Keep it in is one of my favourite highlights of the album.
    The phased gong at the beginning that threatens to crush you and then all hell breaks loose. Amazing killer drums (you have to consider, Mick hits the double bass with plateaus!) battling  with Andys guitar.. Brian`s voice is outstanding and even Steve got his little chance here with a short solo..
    This album deserves the rock n roll hall of fame.

  40. S.... N....

    Incredible album from an incredible band!

  41. S.... M....

    Motley Crue stole the intro/bridge riffs -or should we call it a tribute on the song Merry Go Round from the MC's 1st lp.

    S.... M....

    motley crue also stoled hellraiser for kick start my heart same riff at least they are keeping the music alive

    S.... M....

    its widely known that crue were big fans of bands like sweet...it's more like a tribute

    S.... M....

    i am a big thrash head but sweet are balls out hard rock glam my hole there they are better then motley crue

  42. m.... ....

    The live album is pretty bad-ass too Tommy.

  43. J.... ....

    I was 15 when this came out. Lots of great memories going to packed venues to hear bands tear the roof off.

  44. C.... H....

    ...and you can totally tell that they ripped off the opening for Public Enemy #1

  45. d.... s....

    Me gusta Queen! pero Sweet es superior! mucho mas versatiles! Del pop al heavy en una fraccion de segundo! y siguen sonando bien!

  46. A.... ....

    :) The poor schizo-no-idieas and no clue of today cant be genuine,,just fool the fools of same low qualitydemands

  47. t.... b....

    This was by far sweets best album, most of the songs where great and really rocked their true nature as hard rock artists...But when cut above the rest and level headed came out I was like what the fuck happened...Been a fan of sweets since 1975 when I was 13, and now I am 51 and still love this album..Healer is the best song on this album along with action, and white mice...

  48. M.... M....

    Give us a wink!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

  49. j.... ....

    Healer has been one of my favorite tunes since this came out way back. I have always made sure I had a copy of it around. I started listening as a teen and still love all this stuff at 49 .

  50. A.... H....

    ...and lady gaga thinks she is original....

  51. A.... H....

    One of the Mötley Crüe album covers looks like this one of The Sweet ! Mötley Crüe emulated The Sweet in the 80's as they were way ahead of the curve back in the 70's !

  52. T.... ....

    Brian Connolly could sing sugary Pop or great heavy Rock vocals with equal integrity as well as being a brilliant front man .Mick Tucker was one of the most under-rated drummers around .Andy wrote most of their own music with Steve writing many of the lyrics.I love Andy's celtic inspired lead guitar work here and his over-driven tone is superb!

  53. D.... D....

    what a band!,hard driven rock!.

  54. G.... a....

    THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD WITHOUT ANY DOUBT

  55. J.... G....

    Not sure who you all are but if you didn't come from this world you'll never get any of this. My first experience with this group was an 8 track passed on to me. It was Give Us A Wink. It came from a friend that was going to college in Chicago. 1976. These guys are killers in the world of "rock and roll". Find this sort of passion today.

  56. s.... ....

    Sweet was never considered better than Rollingstones, Beatles, AC-DC...but, in our humble opinion - SWEET is the best band ever.

  57. M.... R....

    And mine too

  58. n.... m....

    How can a band who had dozens of hit singles, a huge fan-base, and tons of radio airplay/TV exposure be "under-rated"?

  59. t.... C....

    so truly

  60. S.... ....

    hahaha...true!

  61. S.... ....

    Sweet was awesome...Long Live Mick Tucker & Brian Connoly!!!! Greatly missed!!!

  62. m.... ....

    The gtr and drum, especially the bit around 3:15 reminds me of UH Magician's Birthday.

  63. A.... W....

    great band!

  64. T.... ....

    No one should ever doubt that Sweet were a great bona fide rock group .Brian's vocals are brilliant here (as per usual ) ,Steve's bass even comes to the fore at one stage .The inter -play between Mick's superb drumming and Andy's guitar is tight and exciting .I really enjoy the aggressive tone that Andy employs here, particularly when he plays the celtic style lead break .Great stuff !

  65. R.... ....

    Early Queen nicked a lot from this band

  66. b.... ....

    Wicked drummer! Holy shit!

    b.... ....

    bareknuckles2u One of the best and one of the least recognized.

  67. w.... ....

    Great drum & guitar battle. "Wink" also exposes a great engineering work (Mack). I`ve heared all the raw demo versions of the album, and the outcome is just superb!

  68. S.... P....

    does anyone else notice how the song title is a dirty as well ?

    S.... P....

    The whole song is lol...love it!

  69. t.... e....

    still big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  70. s.... ....

    @dadadruma you took my words....

  71. t.... e....

    my best days of my life nice!

  72. d.... M....

    Most underrated band ever

  73. p.... ....

    Fantastic Post .. thank you for posting, love the way mick goes to blazes on this song & andy fighting along with him , and the rest of the guys all are soo great and i hope never forgotten.
