Hellraiser
Brian Connolly Lyrics

Look Out!
Momma let me out on a Saturday night
She said Now go out and get her, go and hold her tight
I said Momma you don't understand everytime I touch her
Hand it starts a-burning in the fires of Hell
If I hold it too long, you never can tell
What would happen to me, I wouldn't want you to see

Look out! She's a Hellraiser
Star gazer

Trail Blazer
Natural born raver yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

She's like a live bombshell, like a flash out of hell
When she shakes it up, Oooo! Everyone fell
It's a feeling that's neat and she took me completely
By suprise with her ultrasonic eyes
Flashing like hysterical danger signs that said
Beware where you tread or you'll go out of your head!

Look out! She's a Hellraiser
Star gazer
Trail Blazer
Natural born raver yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Look Out!

He was adopted at birth and took the name Brian McManus. When he was 18 Brian discovered that he was adopted he changed his surname to his mother's, Connolly.
At age 18 Brian moved to Middlesex and replaced singer Ian Gillan (of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath fame) in a band called Wainwright's Gentlemen which included drummer Mick Tucker. Wainwright's Gentlemen split up in 1968 without releasing any recordings.

Connolly and Tucker remained together and then recruited guitarist Frank Torpey and bassist Steve Priest, they named the new band Sweetshop. The group recorded several singles and eventually shortened their name to Sweet. Over the next 13 years Brian recorded albums with Sweet until his drinking problem caused him to leave the band in 1979.

After leaving Sweet Brian launched a solo career that had little success. In 1981 he survived multiple heart attacks in a single night but his health was permanently affected. Despite this Connolly toured with his backing bands New Sweet and Brian Connolly's Sweet. In 1988 Connolly reunited with former bandmates Andy Scott, Steve Priest and Mick Tucker to rework studio versions of "Action" and "Ballroom Blitz". The four reunited again in 1990 for the promotion of a video music documentary. By the late 1990s Brian's previous drinking problem had taken a toll on his body and he died of liver failure on February 9, 1997.
