Sparks are an American rock and pop music band formed in Los Angeles in 1970 by brothers Ron Mael (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals), initially under the name Halfnelson. Best known for their quirky approach to song writing, Sparks' music is often accompanied by cutting and acerbic lyrics, and an idiosyncratic stage presence, typified in the contrast between Russell's wide-eyed hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's sedentary scowling.
The band's long career has seen them successfully adopt many different musical genres; including glam pop

C In 1900 you held hands and felt like you'd scored F In 1910 you'd never need a horse anymore Dm In 1920 you could dance C In 1930 lose your pants GC In 1940 you could go to war really soon In 1950 you could just be dull and a bore E7AAG In 1960 set the world on fire FGCF That was then, this is now CGC And nothing's blowin in the wind
Chorus: C Screwed up, that's the problem F You're going down, down, down, down, down G Screwed up, that's your problem C You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound You're wasting time seeking comfort F from any sight or any sound C I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up GC Now what you got is spreading around
It really doesn't matter if you know how to sing The only thing that matters is the girl that you bring So when I saw you sitting there just asking for some curly hair I knew that I was getting where I wanted to be But someone must have warned you, so it's Anchors Aweigh This Johnny's marching home again tonight You couldn't leave quietly You had to tell the world and loud
Chorus
C I'm getting on my nerves I'm getting on my nerves and E7AAG everything you're throwing at me coming up a curve FGCF Swing & miss, Swing & miss CGC Swing & miss and then you're out
