| "'''Sweetness and Tenderness'''" is the last track on both [[The Rentals|The Rentals']] debut album, "''[[Return of the Rentals]]''," and their comeback EP "''[[The Last Little Life]]''."
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| "Sweetness and Tenderness" is a slow ballad that concludes "''Return of the Rentals''." It is followed by a short period of silence, then an unlisted bonus track appears. This hidden track is a short, violin-based instrumental, backed by the same 'space' noise that is featured on the album's opening track, "[[The Love I'm Searching For]]".
| |
| | |
| The song was later re-recorded for 2007's ''[[The Last Little Life EP]]''. It is significantly longer at 6:27.

| ==Lyrics==
| |
| <lyrics>I need to figure this out
| |
| And find where my place is
| |
| I don't mean to threaten anyone
| |
| No need to get so defensive
| |
| | |
| You say you're with me, I know you don't care
| |
| You say you're with me, I know you don't care
| |
| | |
| I guess it's real simple
| |
| It's just like when Gary Numan say
| |
| You're just a viewer, cold and distant
| |
| You are just business, you're worthless
| |
| | |
| Sweetness, I need some tenderness
| |
| Sweetness, I need some tenderness
| |
| | |
| You know it's just like Judas say
| |
| I've been your right hand man all along
| |
| My admiration for you hasn't died
| |
| I haven't forgotten how put down we are
| |
| | |
| Come away with me, come away with me
| |
| Sweetness
| |
| Come away with me, we can hide in peace
| |
| And we can finally rest
| |
| | |
| This melody's wrong and I do care
| |
| This melody's wrong, yes, I care</lyrics>
