Love Comes A-tumblin' Down Lyrics


Tell you a story not a little white lie
Wasn't long tall Sally, it was no surprise
That's right, tell me that's right
A tough act to follow, not too good in your shoes
A whole lotta shakin' was terrible news
That night, tell me that's right
The band was singin and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down
Oh, yeah, yeah
All shook up and bent out of shape
Wasn't Johnny B. Goode but it sounded great
That night, tell me that's right
From the cabaret to the highway of hell
Had a monkey on his back, it was easy to tell
That's right, tell me that's right
The band was singin' and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down
Oh, yeah, yeah

The band was singin' and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down
Oh, yeah
I'm wishing to live longer
Aided by the supreme healing force of music
It most definitely overcomes
All weakening aspects of the body
I've felt quite lost and distraught
Without those wonderful vinyl productions
I'm convinced it's an addiction, too
I feel just great again, band, get ready
When you see the train come, then you'll know what to do
A tough act to follow not too good in your shoes
That's right, tell me that's right
Love came a-stumblin' and a-tumblin' down
Not a pretty picture when the body was found
That night, oh, that's right
The band was singin' and playin' a tune
(Love comes a-tumblin')
A tough act to follow, not too good in your shoes
(Love comes a-tumblin')
You see the train come, you know what to do
(Love comes a-tumblin')
Johnny B. Goode, it sounded just great
(Love comes a-tumblin')
Long, tall, Sally, it was no surprise
(Love comes a-tumblin')
A whole lotta shakin' was terrible news
(Love comes a-tumblin')
Not a pretty picture when the body was found
(Love comes a tumblin')
Mama
Mama
Mama

Cheap Trick is a U.S. rock/power pop band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The band members are Rick Nielsen (guitarist and main songwriter), Bun E. Carlos (born Brad Carlson) (drums), Robin Zander (vocals and guitars), and Tom Petersson (bass guitar). Though they have had only brief flirtations with mainstream success, Cheap Trick has held a substantial following through regular touring and a hard-edged yet blissful pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. The band's biggest hits over the years include "I Want You to Want Me", "Surrender", "Dream Police", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis Presley's hit), and "The Flame". Their most recent release, The Latest, has gained critical acclaim. They also wrote and performed the theme song for "The Colbert Report".

Nielsen and Petersson originally formed the group as "Fuse" in 1967, with Carlos joining the group several years later; however, when Zander joined as vocalist in 1972, the group was renamed Cheap Trick. Zander is considered one of the best rock vocalists. Tom Petersson was known for playing custom made 8, 12, and even a 18 string custom bass made by Modulus for Tom in 1981.

Rick Nielsen also has a penchant for unusual instruments. He owns and plays a five-necked solidbody electric guitar (it can be seen in the video for the song "She's Tight", among others).
