"'''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> | |||
