Sweet lover of mine
You know a million tears are gonna fall
Sister blue stay away from me
Tears so many now I can't see
Just waiting for the jerk to phone
See you waiting by the telephone
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
You know a million tears are gonna fall
Get a feeling like a desert inside
I'm so thirsty for some peace of mind
You never know me 'cause I'm always alone
So hungry for that little girl
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
You know a million tears are gonna fall
Sister blue stay away from me
Tears so many now I can't see
Just waiting for the jerk to phone
See you waiting by the telephone
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
You know a million tears are gonna fall
Sweet lover of mine
Sweet lover of mine
You know a million tears are gonna fall
Sweet Lover Hangover
Love And Rockets' "Sweet Lover Hangover" stands as a quintessential example of the band's unique blend of punk energy and psychedelic experimentation. Recorded during the group's active period in the late 1970s, the track captures their signature sound, characterized by a driving rhythm section and melodic guitar lines that often veer into surreal territory. The song reflects the band's broader discography, which frequently explored themes of urban life, cosmic consciousness, and the complexities of relationships through a lens of humor and introspection. As a staple of their catalog, the recording exemplifies the San Francisco punk scene's ability to merge raw aggression with whimsical, otherworldly imagery, cementing the band's legacy as innovators who refused to be confined by traditional genre boundaries.
