BLOCKBUSTER
The Sweet Feat. Brian Connolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better beware, you better take care
You better watch out if you've got long black hair
He'll come from behind, you'll go out of your mind
You better not go, you never know what you'll find
Ah-ah, ah-ah
You look in his eyes, don't be surprised
Nobody knows where Buster goes
He'll steal your woman out from under your nose
Does anyone know the way? Did we hear someone say?
(We just haven't got a clue what to do)
Does anyone know the way? There's got to be a way
To block Buster
The cops are out, they're running about
Don't know if they'll ever be able to block Buster out
He's gotta be caught, he's gotta be taught
'Cause he is more evil than anyone here ever thought
Does anyone know the way? Did we hear someone say?
(W-w-we just haven't got a a-ho)
Does anyone know the way? There's got to be a way
To block Buster
Does anyone know the way? Did we hear someone say?
(We just haven't got a clue what to do)
Does anyone know the way? There's got to be a way
To block Buster
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster
Buster, Buster, blockbuster

@elettranorton7270
Their music makes me feel good
@DeidreL9
Why is every second comment obsessing about their sexuality? FFS they are PERFORMERS on stage, wearing makeup and, gee, COSTUMES. Having FUN, in a time before everyone went insane about everything. God no wonder so many of us want to go back!

Zep was mythology
Queen was in white tassle and white leather, Sabbath was in black leather ... These guys out sold them for 2 yrs straight and dressed glam ... To my knowledge all were straight.... But who gives a shit.... Extremely underated band , all could sing amazing and also were all talented musicians. How they aren't recognized more , hall of Fame , Ill never know.
@mimfi
I think they look fabulous! Glam rock at it's best πππ
@philipdefibaugh5683
To be honest Women preferred the Glammed up look way better the generic granola look of jeans and t-shirt! Glam rock ruled the 70's and 80's. Glam rockers like Poison got more groupies than Mike and the Mechanics.
