An underrated tune, like all these posts, this one captures the heavy glam pop that Sweet revelled in with their stratospheric harmonies capable of touching the moon. This one starts with a heavily stunted bop (ala T Rex) before the smooth lead in to the chorus where they sing to a cold lover how they'll never make it to heaven. The absurdly shrill vocals and its odd moralistic tone make this sound like a jacked up 10cc.
Either way the song features the acoustic break that became recurrent during this heavier mid 70s phase of their careers
They had broken from the bubblegum material of Chinn and Chapman now the thick guitars and considerable bombast made them sound like a Queen meets Black Sabbath.

But at the end of the day you knew from their trademark falsettos who you were listening to no matter what they are playing, a remarkable feature of many 70s groups; Ah what an incredibly creative 10 years we had there, what a trip it must have been..
