Sweet - Turn It Down Lyrics






Hit me
Come on
All right
Do you hear me?

So your old man went and called you a degenerate bum
And you stood there crockin' on your cinnamon gum
And your Ma was knockin' at your sister's brains
And you couldn't help thinkin' what she hoped to gain
Just then that freak walked in the door
And knocked me to the floor
You said: "Hey man, you're on some kind of trip"
He said: "Don't give me no lip"

Just turn it down, come on turn it down
I can't take no more of that God awful sound
So far God's sake turn it down

Now the suspicious minds of your learned friends
Will eat away at your kind till the music ends
And the creep that taught you everything you know
Will hypocritically ask you what the hell you know
He'll go out and mess around, then go home without a sound
You said: "Hey man, you're some kinda monk"
He said: "Listen here you punk"

Just turn it down, come on turn it down
I can't take no more of that God awful sound
So far God's sake turn it down

Turn it down, just turn it down
Come on turn it down, I said: "Turn it down"
Come on, come on turn it down, just turn it down
I can't take no more of that God awful sound
So far God's sake turn it down

  1. G.... T....

    Where is the original live audio from this concert gone? The studio version of the songs audio has been used in its place. This video as good as its visual quality is should have had the original audio track used with it. It would show how good this band was live.

  2. R.... O....

    Early Guns n' Roses to name one band sure drank from this water!

  3. J.... G....

    One of the most underrated bands

  4. B.... ....

    Scotland's finest.

  5. A.... T....

    Absolutely genius,thank you guys for the music,love you forever

  6. V.... O....

    It started a bubblegum band and turned to a hard rock band

  7. M.... N....

    Released as a single in 1974 it was banned by the BBC

  8. J.... N....

    Here we see that they were much more than just another Glam Rock band. Actually Brian’s vocals on this remind me of Dan McCafferty (Nazareth were another great British band; next up, I’m going to play their kickass version of Gone Dead Train..)

  9. D.... W....

    A pity that this song wasn't a major hit in the UK. It stiffed at No.41 in the charts. I'm going to cover this song with my upcoming solo band.

  10. P.... G....

    Sweet were a good band there only week link was Andy Scott, his guitar playing was limited. He’s not wurst guitarist, but the greatest

  11. C.... V....

    Wear headphones and listen to the bass.

  12. M.... S....

    Most underrated rock band on earth

  13. d.... ....

    Can only be played loud, very loud!!!!!!!!

  14. F.... ....

    Not so commonly known but I think thios is one of their best! Still have the single.

  15. H.... ....

    Gosh, how good looking was Brian Connolly...what a guy! Such a gorgeous, angelic face. Perfection. The other 3 guys are very good looking as well. RIP Brian and Mick.

  16. T.... L....

    hell of a riff but sounds like born to be wild

  17. k.... ....

    Its almost 2020 now!
    45 years later, this song is stil kicking ass!
    (How come I didnt know about this band when I was 15?)

    k.... ....

    No internet dude. Take care.

  18. K.... J....

    Turn it UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. k.... ....

    Hey! I just noticed that the guitar and bass have cables plugged into them in this video!

    k.... ....

    😂🤣 it's not TOTP

  20. T.... L....

    at least 10 years ahead

  21. c.... s....

    glamrock is over

    c.... s....

    claus stimpfig so is the British Invasion, disco, punk grunge...

  22. M.... ....

    Mick Tucker, right up there with Bonham, Paice, Palmer and Moon. Most of the all-time great rock drummers are from England, amen!

  23. K.... H....

    Das waren die guten alten Zeiten 👍😘😍

  24. D.... D....

    Steve acting rappy

  25. P.... K....

    If this ain't heavy metal,then i don't know what is !

  26. B.... F....

    The Best with Frank Zappa solo style in it

  27. t.... d....

    Incredible band in its time. Mick was without doubt one of the greatest drummers of all time period. Man that guy RIP could play the shit out of those guitars. Andy was an amazing guitarist. Steve and Brian incredible. There best album was Give Us A Wink. They got labelled with the bubble gum tag early on. And the name did not help either. These were the best years, before it all fell apart in the very late seventies. Brian and Andy had a very very hard time getting along. And Brian after he was attacked, was never the same again. Booze and thirteen fucking heart attacks, smoking. got the best of this poor lovely man. RIP Mick Tucker, truly one of the very best drummers I have ever seen.

  28. h.... ....

    classic

  29. H.... d....

    Their best rock album, Desolation Boulevard. RIP Brian and Mick

  30. T.... P....

    Fuck this is the best version I've heard....love it!

  31. S.... S....

    So your old man went and called you a degenerate bum
    And you stood there crackin' on your cinnamon gun
    And your Ma was knockin' at your sister's brains
    And you couldn't help thinkin' what she hoped to gain
    Just then that freak walked in the door
    And knocked me to the floor
    You said, hey man, you're on some kind of trip
    He said, don't give me no lip
    Just turn it down, come on turn it down
    I can't take no more of that God awful sound
    So for God's sake turn it down
    Now the suspicious minds of your learned friends
    Will eat away at your kind 'til the music ends
    And the creep that taught you everything you know
    Will hypocritically ask you what the hell you know
    He'll go out and mess around, then go home without a sound
    You said, hey man, you're some kinda monk
    He said, listen here you punk
    Just turn it down, come on turn it down
    I can't take no more of that God awful sound
    So for God's sake turn it down
    Turn it down, just turn it down
    Come on turn it down, I said turn it down
    Come on turn it down, just turn it down
    I can't take no more of that God awful sound
    So for God's sake turn it down

  40. R.... G....

    Brian Conolli eternity!

    R.... G....

    No offense but there's a Y at the end of Conolly

  41. I.... D....

    To think this was banned at the time for the words gods sake.

    I.... D....

    But Bowie's Life On mars was OK starting with 'It's a God-awful small affair'?

    Rythym guitarist red-head Steve Priest vocals at 1:06 can be the 1rst instance of white Man "Rapping' , to be succeeded yrs later by the Runaways 'Cherry Bomb' another instance of White Rapping.
