uriah heep – sweet sugar lyrics

(over importance of money)

i’ve no time for boring things
there’s no religion
that can make my heart sing, no
they call me up
say: hey come on down
we’ve got credit salvation
all over town

and i can see it everywhere i go
i can hear it on my radio
they keep telling me it’s alright
but there’s one thing
i don’t need tonight

is their sweet sugar, poison wine
i don’t need these things
to make me feel fine
sweet sugar, poison wine
just need your love girl, every time

we don’t need these
pointless things
we just need to mend
our broken wings
take a look, a look
what’s going down
we’ve gotta stop
before we hit the ground

yeah, we can have it
don’t you know
take part in their tv show
they’ll keep telling us it’s alright
but there’s one thing

i don’t need tonight

you can’t fool me
it’s a waste of time
you’re selling tears
down the credit card line, yeah
but giving up is not
their frame of mind
they’ll find a way
to break us in time

yeah, i can meet you
everywhere i go
and i can hear you on my radio
you keep telling me it’s alright
but there’s one thing
i don’t need tonight

is your sweet sugar, poison wine
i don’t need these things
to make me feel fine
sweet sugar, poison wine
i just need your love girl, every time

sweet sugar, poison wine
i don’t need these things
to make me feel fine
sweet sugar, poison wine
just gimme your love girl
gimme your love, gimme your love

sweet sugar, poison wine
i need your love girl
yeah, all the time
sweet sugar, poison wine
i just need you girl, everytime
