There’s no demo for “Sweet” – the concept was so pro-forma Elvis rockabilly that it would’ve been a waste of time (which was of the essence; most of the new Belvoir songs were actually written during the rehearsal period). With Brian Thomson’s red-globe-1968-comeback set, what else was it gonna be?
I’ve been out there pacing
Bracing for defeat
Ready to be roasted
And I felt that demon heat
But I got lifted
When I thought that I would fall
Now this feels like the sweetest victory of all
Never felt too comfy
Up there on the top
I felt like Humpty Dumpty
And I was waiting for the drop
But I got lifted
I’m floating high above the wall
Now this feels like the sweetest victory of all
I thank my wife and son and daughters
My faithful supporters
You kept my team full of steam
I thank the people of the nation
For their validation
Keep on believing in the dream
You know that I’ve been wishin’
I had a second shot
Thanks to your decision
That’s exactly what I got
And I got lifted
Now I hear my country call
BAND: We want Paul! We want Paul!
Now this feels like the sweetest victory
Now it seems like y’all wanna stick to me
Now this feels like the sweetest victory of all!
