Sweet Temptation - Lyrics - Figgy Duff

Figgy Duff was a Canadian folk-rock band from Newfoundland. They played a major role in the Newfoundland cultural renaissance of the 1970s and 80s. Formed in 1976 by Noel Dinn, who named the band after a kind of traditional pudding, Figgy Duff travelled across Newfoundland, learning traditional songs. They performed with some distinct elements of rock and roll.

Sweet, sweet temptation Got me talking to myself Take those dreams down off the shelf There’s nothing wrong with you Those dog days of love Still haunting you So blind, so blind to Domination I’m still haunted by you Sweet temptation Can’t help wanting you High Expectations Those haunted days were true First love, and then the fall So long, watched it go down To where you can’t love, Can’t even pretend love And even stars refuse to shine Domination I’m still haunted by you Sweet temptation Can’t help wanting you Always felt I let you down These tears, these fears Have broken the spell, I can cry out loud Treasure at the end of the rainbow That’s not the story I’ve come to know I read the writing on the wall Can’t love at your beck and call This time around I refuse to crawl Domination I’m still haunted by you Sweet temptation Can’t help wanting you
