"Dancing Queen" Lyrics

ABBA

Intro
Ooh
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene, digging the dancing
queen
Verse 1
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Mm, where they play the right music, getting in the
swing
You come to look for a king

Verse 2
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance

Pre-Chorus
And when you get the chance...

Chorus
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only
seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh
yeah
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing
queen

Verse 3
Baby, baby, you're out of sight
Hey, you're looking all right tonight
When you come to the party, listen to the guys
They've got the look in their eyes
Verse 4
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance

Pre-Chorus
And when you get the chance...

Chorus
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only
seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh
yeah
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene, digging the dancing
queen

"Knowing Me, Knowing You" Lyrics

ABBA

No more carefree laughter

Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
This is where the story ends
This is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you, aha
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you, aha
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breakin' up is never easy, I know, but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Mem'ries, good days, bad days

They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you, aha
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breakin' up is never easy, I know, but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you, aha
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breakin' up is never easy, I know, but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

"Take A Chance On Me" Lyrics

ABBA

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you got no place to go when you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown,
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
SPOKEN: That's all I ask of you, honey.
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking

As long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking
You'd get to know me better
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you got no place to go when you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown,
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
SPOKEN: Come on, give me a break, will ya?
Take a chance on me

Oh, you can take your time, baby, I'm in no hurry

I know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby, don't worry
I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
No, I can't let go
'Cause I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you got no place to go when you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown,
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby, can't you see?
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby, can't you see?
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby, can't you see?
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

"Mamma Mia" Lyrics

ABBA

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now
Will I ever learn?
I don't know how
But I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget ev'rything
Oh oh

Mamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again,
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been broken hearted,
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about things that you do

I can't count all the times that I've told you we're
through

And when you go,

When you slam the door,
I think you know
That you won't be away too long

You know that I'm not that strong

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget ev'rything
Oh oh

Mamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again,
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been broken hearted,
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say,
"Bye-bye, leave me now or never,"
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye-bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again,
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been broken hearted,
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

"Lay All Your Love On Me" Lyrics

ABBA

Verse 1
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

Pre-Chorus
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you...

Chorus
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

Verse 2
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and, baby, I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily

Pre-Chorus
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you, dear...

Chorus
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Verse 3
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty
scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

Pre-Chorus
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do?

Chorus
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

"Super Trouper" Lyrics

ABBA
Intro
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Verse 1
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing,
Wishing every show was the last show
(Wishing every show was the last show)

Pre-Chorus
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (glad to
hear you're coming)
Suddenly, I feel alright (and suddenly, it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different when I'm on the stage
tonight

Chorus
Tonight, the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Feeling like a number one
Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Verse 2
Facing twenty thousands of your friends,
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends,
Still I'm thinking about you only
(Still I'm thinking about you only)

Pre-Chorus
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy (think
I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright ('cause you'll be changing
everything)
Everything will be so different when I'm on the stage
tonight

Chorus
Tonight, the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Feeling like a number one
Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Bridge
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms and hold me tight,
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Chorus
Tonight, the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Feeling like a number one
Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Outro
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per),
Feeling like a number one
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)

"I Have A Dream" Lyrics

ABBA

I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy

To help me through reality

And my destination makes it worth the while

Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

"The Winner Takes It All" Lyrics

ABBA
Verse 1
I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me, now it's history
I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play

Chorus
The winner takes it all, the loser's standing small
Beside the victory, that's her destiny

Verse 2
I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense building me a fence
Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool playing by the rules

Chorus
The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here loses someone dear
The winner takes it all (takes it all), the loser has to fall
(has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain?

Verse 3
But tell me, does she kiss like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same when she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside, you must know I miss you
But what can I say, rules must be obeyed

Chorus
The judges will decide (will decide) the likes of me abide
(me abide)
Spectators of the show, always staying low
The game is on again (on again), a lover or a friend (or a
friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small), the winner takes it
all (takes it all)

Verse 4
I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad
And I understand, you've come to shake my hand
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence, but you see...

Chorus
The winner takes it all, the winner takes it all

Outro
So the winner takes it all and the the loser has to fall
Throw a dice, cold as ice, way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall...

"Money, Money, Money" Lyrics

ABBA

Verse 1
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to
pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for
me
That's too bad

Pre-Chorus
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a
ball...

Chorus
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Verse 2
A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off
my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad

Pre-Chorus
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the
same...

Chorus
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Chorus
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Outro
It's a rich man's world

"SOS" Lyrics

ABBA

Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to

find.
I tried to reach for you but you have lost your mind.
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood.
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me?

SOS.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, SOS.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

You seemed so far away though you were standing near.

You made me feel alive but something died, I fear.
I really tried to make it out, I wish I understood.
What happened to our love? It used to be so good.

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me?

SOS.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, SOS.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

(Piano solo)
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me?
SOS.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me,
SOS.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on

"Chiquitita" Lyrics

ABBA

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How i hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, i'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now i see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and i know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars
they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down

And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and i know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars
they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

"Fernando" Lyrics

ABBA

Can you hear the drums Fernando

I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself
And softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando

Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life
And none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

(Repeat)

Yes, if I had to do the same again

I would my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"

Lyrics

ABBA

half past twelve,

and I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone,
how I hate to spend the evening on my own,
autumn winds,
blowing outside my window as I look around the room,
and it makes me so depressed to see the gloom,
there's not a soul out there,
no-one to hear my prayer,

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,

won't somebody help me chase the shadows away,
gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
take me through the darkness to the break of the day,

Movie stars,
find the end of a rainbow,
with a fortune to win,
it's so different from the world I'm living in,
tired of TV,
I open the window and I gaze into the night,
but there's no-one there to see,
no-one in sight,
there's not a soul out there,
no-one to hear my prayer,

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,

won't somebody help me chase the shadows away,
gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
take me through the darkness to the break of the day

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,

there's not a soul out there,

no-one to hear my prayer,
gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
won't somebody help me chase the shadows away,
gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
take me through the darkness to the break of the day

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,

"Does Your Mother Know" Lyrics

ABBA

Abba -
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like
you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you
wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey

If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want

But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind
of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of
that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey

If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)

Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

Well I can dance with you honey

If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

"One Of Us" Lyrics

ABBA

They passed me by, all of those great romances

You were I felt robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow, one of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying, one of us is lying

In her lonely bed, staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction

I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show, one of us had to go
Now I've changed, and I want you to know

One of us is crying, one of us is lying

In her lonely bed, staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

Never left at all, staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small..

"The Name Of The Game" Lyrics

ABBA

I've seen you twice, in a short time

Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case

No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk

And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice

And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk

And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..
Oh yes I wanna know..

The name of the game

(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot

[fade] "Thank You For The Music" Lyrics

ABBA

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

CHORUS
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance, what are
we
So I say, thank you for the music, for giving it to me.

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk

Mm-mm, she says I began to sing long before I could
talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a
melody can
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

CHORUS
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance, what are
we
So I say, thank you for the music, for giving it to me.

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair

I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance

CHORUS
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance, what are
we
So I say, thank you for the music, for giving it to me.

Mother says i was a dancer before i could walk

She says i began to sing long before i could talk
And i've often wondered how did it all start ?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well whoever it was im a fan

So i say thank you for the music the songs im singing

Thanks for all the joy i'm bringing
Who could live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be ?
With out a song or dance what are we?
So i say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Waterloo" Lyrics

ABBA

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender

Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar
way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
CHORUS:
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forever more
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up
the fight
And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

CHORUS

So how could I ever refuse?

I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

Ooh, Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

Hook: Björn and Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

Summer night city
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
Summer night city

[Verse 1: Agentha & Frida]

In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong

[Pre-Chorus 1: Björn and Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free

[Chorus 1: Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live

[Hook: Björn and Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
 Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
Summer night city

[Verse 2: Agentha & Frida]

It's elusive call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone

[Pre-Chorus 2: Björn and Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere

[Chorus 2: Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach

[Hook: Björn and Agentha, Björn, Benny & Frida]

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

Angeleyes

[Refrain]
Keep thinking about his angeleyes
I keep thinking

[Verse 1]
Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
Because he always used to look at me that way
And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and
say
"Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play"

[Chorus 1]
Look into his angeleyes
 One look and you're hypnotised
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no, no, no, no

[Refrain]
Keep thinking about his angeleyes
I keep thinking

[Verse 2]
Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same?
Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain?
Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?

[Chorus 1]
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotised
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into his angeleyes

[Chorus 2]
 Crazy 'bout his angeleyes
Angeleyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no, no, no, no

[Outro]
Keep thinking
Keep thinking about his angeleyes
I keep thinking
Keep thinking, had to pay the price
Keep thinking
Keep thinking about his angeleyes
I keep thinking
Keep thinking, had to pay the price
Keep thinking

The Day Before You Came

[Verse 1: Agentha]
I must have left my house at eight because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was
due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I must
 have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to
be signed
I must have gone to lunch
At half past twelve or so, the usual place, the usual
bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have
rained
The day before you came

[Verse 2: Agentha]
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of
the day
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the
rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished
school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came

[Vocalisations: Frida]

[Verse 3: Agentha]
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to
go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of "Dallas" that I
didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French, or something in that
style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came

[Outro: Agentha]
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another
night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of
rain
The day before you came

[Vocalisations: Frida]

Eagle [Single Version]

[Verse 1]
They came flying from far away
Now I'm under their spell
 I love hearing the stories that they tell

[Verse 2]
They've seen places beyond my land
And they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

[Chorus]
Flying high, high
I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

[Verse 3]
As all good friends we talk all night
And we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything

[Verse 4]
There's no limit to what I feel
We climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
 [Pre-Chorus 2]
Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?

[Chorus]
Flying high, high
I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

……………………………..

I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do

Verse 1]
Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

[Chorus 1]
Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now I just made it, I found you at last

[Verse 2]
So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it
'Cause it's true, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
 [Interlude]

[Chorus 2]
Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it, but just wait and see

[Verse 3]
So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it
'Cause it's true, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

So Long

[Verse 1]
You think you're gonna make me softer with your fancy
car
Ah-ha-ha
But I can tell you all your tricks ain't gonna get you far
Ah-ha-ha
They say that money's got a magic touch
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much
You won't have me tonight
Alright, alright, alright, alright
 [Chorus]
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Tracey, Daisy, they may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth crying
So long, so long, so long

[Verse 2]
You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today
Ah-ha-ha
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, I gave them all away
Ah-ha-ha
The girls might fall for everything you've got
But I'm not one of them, you know I'm not
You won't have me tonight
Alright, alright, alright, alright

[Chorus]
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Tracey, Daisy, they may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
 You know it's not worth crying
So long, so long, so long

[Interlude]

[Outro]
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth crying
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long

Honey, Honey

[Verse 1: Agnetha & Frida]

Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
Honey, honey, nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

[Verse 2: Agnetha & Frida]

Honey, honey, let me feel it, aha, honey honey
Honey, honey, don't conceal it, aha, honey honey
 The way that you kiss goodnight
The way that you kiss me goodnight
The way that you hold me tight
The way that you're holding me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing

[Chorus 1: Björn and Agnetha & Frida]

I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of
me
There's no other place in this world where I rather
would be

[Verse 3: Agnetha & Frida]

Honey, honey, touch me, baby, aha, honey honey
Honey, honey, hold me, baby, aha, honey honey
You look like a movie star
You look like a movie star
But I know just who you are
I know just who you are
And, honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone beast

[Chorus 2: Björn and Agnetha & Frida]

So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather
would be
 [Verse 4: Agnetha & Frida]
Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
Honey, honey, nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I heard about you before
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
I wanted to know you some more
And now I know what they mean
You're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

The Visitors

[Verse 1]
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes
me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move, I'm standing
Numb and frozen
Among the things I love so dearly
The books, the paintings and the furniture
Help me

[Verse 2]
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the
doorknob
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
 And they don't dare to come here
Anymore now
But how I loved our secret meetings
We talked and talked in quiet voices
Smiling

[Chorus]
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm
Cracking up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Cracking up
They must know by now I'm in here trembling
In a terror ever growing
Cracking up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I'm
Cracking up

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
And now they've come to take me
Come to break me
And yet it isn't unexpected
I have been waiting for these visitors
Help me
 [Chorus]
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm
Cracking up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Cracking up
They must know by now I'm in here trembling
In a terror ever growing
Cracking up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I'm
Cracking up

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm
Cracking up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Cracking up
I have been waiting for these visitors
They must know by now I'm in here trembling
In a terror ever growing
Cracking up
I have been waiting for these visitors
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I'm
 Cracking up

[Chorus]
I have been waiting for these visitors
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door
I feel I'm
Cracking up
I have been waiting for these visitors
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Cracking up
I have been waiting for these visitors
They must know by now I'm in here trembling
In a terror ever growing
Cracking up
I have been waiting for these visitors
My whole world is falling...

Our Last Summer

[Verse 1]
The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe
And you
 You talked of politics, philosophy
And I smiled like Mona Lisa

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We had our chance
It was a fine and true romance

[Chorus 1]
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain

[Verse 2]
We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh, yes
Those crazy years, that was the time
Of the flower-power

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But underneath we had a fear of flying
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
We took the chance
Like we were dancing our last dance
 [Chorus 2]
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam
Round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
And now you're working in a bank
The family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry

[Pre-Chorus 3]
How dull it seems
Yet you're the hero of my dreams

[Chorus 1]
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
 Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain

[Chorus 2]
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam
Round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
We were living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer...
.................................................

On and On and On

[Verse 1]
I was at a party and this fella said to me
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"

[Verse 2]
I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?"
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state"
I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great
 Brother can you tell me what is right and what is
wrong?"
He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

[Chorus]
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

[Verse 3]
Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar

[Verse 4]
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?"
I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

[Chorus]
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
 On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

RING RING LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without
you?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Yes I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
[Verse 2]
You were here and now you're gone
Hey, did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart
is breaking

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

[Outro]
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring...

I WONDER (DEPARTURE) LYRICS

[Verse 1]
This park and these houses, old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when I am returning?
My friends will get married, have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises

[Chorus]
I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don't even try?
I'm not a coward, oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it, it can't go wrong

[Verse 2]
My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar
[Chorus]
I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, oh, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don't even try?
I'm not a coward, oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it
Yes, I will take it, it can't go wrong

LOVELIGHT LYRICS
[Verse 1: Frida & Agnetha and Agnetha]
I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back
yard
So I can't understand how it's happened, how
everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much
brighter

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha]

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love anywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your
lovelight

[Verse 2: Frida & Agnetha and Agnetha]

How I remember the first time we went to the movies
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And I waited there when you came up from behind and
you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha]

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love anywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your
lovelight

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
And I feel so good, and I feel so right
And I know that you must have a lovelight

[Chorus]
You've got lovelight
And I can feel your love anywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your
lovelight

[Outro]
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I don't want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night

HEAD OVER HEELS LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

[Chorus]
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
The world is like a playing-ground where she goes
rushing
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean

[Verse 2]
Her man is one I admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says, "Oh, that's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we'd better hurry"
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

[Chorus]
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
The world is like a playing-ground where she goes
rushing
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

[Chorus]
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
The world is like a playing-ground where she goes
rushing
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean

[Outro]
Think she's one of those who always has to do whatever
she please
And she goes head over heels

WHEN I KISSED THE TEACHER LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Everybody screamed
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a
fool
Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken by surprise
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
When I kissed the teacher
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
Couldn't quite believe his eyes
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
When I kissed the teacher
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath the world stood still, but then he
just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher

[Chorus]
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright

[Verse 2]
I was in a trance
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
When I kissed the teacher
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
Suddenly I took the chance
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry
Hug him, I wanna kiss him
And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher

[Chorus]
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright

[Verse 3]
What a crazy day
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
When I kissed the teacher
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
All my sense had flown away
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
When I kissed the teacher
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he
just smiled
Hug, hug him, I wanna kiss him
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher

[Outro]
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug...

I AM THE CITY LYRICS

[Verse 1: Frida, Agentha, Frida & Agnetha]
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
And you feel a strange attraction
The air is vibrant and electrified
Welcome to me, here I am, my arms are open wide

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noise
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that
beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded
streets
People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose a lot
Come, make your own contribution to this melting pot

[Chorus 1: Frida & Agnetha, Agentha]

I'm the street you walk, the language you talk
I am the city
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
And the people, the air that you're breathing is me
Yes, I am the city, you let me be

[Verse 3: Frida, Agentha, Frida & Agnetha]

People feed me with their lives, I am a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay their homage day
and night
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon
light
Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me
laugh
[Chorus 2: Frida & Agnetha, Agentha]
I'm the street you walk, the language you talk
I am the city
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
And the people, the parks and the squares that you see
All the sounds that you hear and the air that you're
breathing is me
Yes, I am the city, you let me be

[Bridge: Agnetha]
I am the city
You let me be
I am the city

[Chorus 3: Frida & Agnetha]

The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
And the people, the air that you're breathing is me

[Outro: Frida, Agentha, Frida & Agnetha]

Coming through a cloud, you're looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
I'm the street you walk, the language you talk

Yes, I am the city, you let me be
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
The skyline is me and the energy

You let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noise

I'm the street you walk, the language you talk

CASSANDRA LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone in your bed
Pity, Cassandra, that no one believed you
But, then again, you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

[Chorus]
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

[Verse 2]
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply ,still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it, but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait

[Chorus]
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

[Verse 3]
I watched the ship leaving harbour at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain

[Chorus]
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
[Outro]
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra

UNDER ATTACK LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles
me so
You know that I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby and I think I
must be

[Chorus]
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how

[Verse 2]
This is getting crazy, I should tell him so
Really let my anger show
Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a
definite no
I'm kind of certain I suppose
Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well
Something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what would happen, where I'd
be if I fell

[Chorus]
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure I won't know how

[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how

[Outro]
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Here's to us, one more toast, and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside, both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the
sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

[Verse 2]
In our lives, we have walked some strange and lonely
treks
Slightly worn, but dignified, and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the
fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
It's so strange, when you're down, and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry anymore when all is said and done

.............................................................................
The Way Old Friends Do (Live)

[Verse: Frida & Agnetha]

You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha]

Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do

[Verse: Frida & Agnetha]

You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other

Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together

SHE'S MY KIND OF GIRL LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Look at her face, it's a wonderful face
And it means something special to me
Look at the way that she smiles when she sees me
How lucky can one fellow be?

[Chorus]
She's just my kind of girl, she makes me feel fine
Who could ever believe that she could be mine?
She's just my kind of girl, without her I'm blue
And if she ever leaves me what could I do, what could I
do?

[Verse 2]
And when we go for a walk in the park
And she holds me and squeezes my hand
We'll go on walking for hours and talking
About all the things that we plan

[Chorus]
She's just my kind of girl, she makes me feel fine
Who could ever believe that she could be mine?
She's just my kind of girl, without her I'm blue
And if she ever leaves me what could I do, what could I
do?
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
She's just my kind of girl, she makes me feel fine

do?

I AM JUST A GIRL LYRICS

[Verse 1: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
I am just a girl, one among the others, nothing much to
say
Plain and simple girl, not a special type in any way
Just one look, and you will surely see
That the true "Miss Nobody" is me
It's an evil world that has only made me a girl
[Verse 2: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to
meet
Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street
But today, I can't believe it's true
When you smiled and whispered "I love you"
Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

[Bridge: Agnetha]
It's a funny feeling when you get to love someone
And thinking that he'll never look your way
But then he says he loves you, and life has just begun
It's so much more than any words can say

[Verse 3: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to
meet
Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street
But today, I can't believe it's true
When you smiled and whispered "I love you"
Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

MAN IN THE MIDDLE LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Did you see that man in the limousine?
With a pretty girl, he is fifty and the girl's only
seventeen
But she doesn't care, and she never will
If he's ninety-five she don't give a damn
Just as long as he pays the bill

[Verse 2]
Did you see that man with a fat cigar?
He just left his lunch with a belly full of lobster and
caviar
He can choose a wine from a vintage year
He will drink champagne in his limousine
While the rest of us drink a beer

[Chorus]
'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to
diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle

[Verse 3]
But you see that man made a big mistake
Even though he's got all his servants and a mansion
beside a lake
And the money too, all that he can spend
He can buy the most, nearly anything
But he can't buy an honest friend

[Chorus]
'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to
diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle

THAT'S ME LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Are you sure you wanna hear more?
What if I ain't worth the while
Not the style you'd be looking for?
If I'm sweet tonight
Things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and I'm proud
If you hurt my feelings I'll cry out loud
I'm Carrie, not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

[Verse 2]
Are you sure you wanna hear more?
Would I be the one you seek
Mild and meek like the girl next door?
Don't you realise
I may be an angel in disguise
It's lonely to be free
But I'm not a man's toy, I'll never be
I'm Carrie, not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

[Bridge]
I don't believe in fairy tales
Sweet nothings in my ear
But I do believe in sympathy
That's me, you see
[Verse 3]
Are you sure you wanna hear more?
Won't you have a drink with me
Just to see you're not really sore?
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm Carrie, not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me, mhm
I'm Carrie, not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

[Interlude]

[Outro]
There's a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
If I keep on searching, but until then
I'm Carrie, not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

CRAZY WORLD LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I was up with the morning sun
Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd take a walk
I was thinking of you and me
And I went to your house 'cause I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
When I saw this guy closing your front door
Had a feeling of emptiness
Like I've never had before

[Chorus 1]
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl?
Then I realised
It's a crazy world

[Verse 2]
As he disappeared in his car
I was stunned and I didn't know what to do
Everything I had ever been
Everything in my life's a part of you
And I just couldn't move my feet
So I stood on the pavement as you came out
You acted as you didn't know
What it was all about

[Chorus 1]
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl?
Then I realised
It's a crazy world

[Bridge]
Baby, how could you do it?
You just told me lies
And you meet behind my back with other guys
Baby, how could you tell me
There was only me?
I was stupid to believe you, I was blind but now I see

[Verse 3]
Then you smiled and you took my hand
"There is something," you said, "that you may not know
There's a couple of men in my life
And one of them is my brother Joe
He's been gone for a long, long time
But he's back and I think he's going to stay
You'll be seeing a lot of him
He's so nice in every way"

[Chorus 2]
And I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realised
It's a crazy world

[Chorus 2]
So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realised
It's a crazy world

[Outro]
So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realised...

HAPPY HAWAII LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Early this morning I drove in the rain
Out to the airport to get on the plane
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii
Alice has been there, she said it was fun
Swimming and surfing, enjoying the sun
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii

[Chorus]
After all I've had to go through
I'm making no plans
Making no plans
But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance
[Verse 2]
Guess I've been working a little too hard
Need a vacation, I'll send you a card
From Honolulu, a greeting from happy Hawaii

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
It's so exciting, why should I pretend
In a few hours the plane will descend
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii
I can imagine the beach and the sand
Walking with someone and holding his hand
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii

[Chorus]
After all I've had to go through
I'm making no plans
Making no plans
But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance, mmm

[Outro]
I've got a feeling the dream will come true
Somebody's waiting and I'll forget you
Hey Honolulu, I'm going to happy Hawaii

I'M A MARIONETTE LYRICS

[Verse 1: Agnetha & Frida]
"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around
refugee

[Verse 2: Agnetha & Frida]

Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like
King Kong

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

[Verse 3: Agnetha & Frida]

Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to
fall

[Interlude]
[Verse 4: Agnetha & Frida]
Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it
safe?

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

[Verse 5: Agnetha & Frida]

"Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's
okay"

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

[Outro: Agnetha & Frida]

"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around,

Pick a Bale of Cotton

[Verse 1: Agnetha & Frida, Bjorn]

Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale a day
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale a day

Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton

On Top of Old Smoky

[Verse: Frida]
On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
By courting so slow
For courting's a pleasure
And parting is grief
And a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
By courting so slow

Midnight Special

[Verse 1: Agnetha]
Well, you wake up in the morning
Hear the ding-dong ring
You go marching to the table
See the same old thing
See the fork on the table
Nothing in your pan
If you say a thing about it
You're in trouble with the man

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me

[Verse 2: Frida]
If you ever go to Houston
Well, you'd better act right
And you'd better not gamble
And you'd better not fight
For the sheriff will arrest you
And he'll take you down
And before you understand it
You are prison bound

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me, on me, on me

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me, on me, on me

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me, on me, on me

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me

KISSES OF FIRE LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my
heart
Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart
Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your
fingertips
Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you

[Chorus]
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing
compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in
every kiss

[Post-Chorus]
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

[Verse 2]
When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I
belong
Still it's making me scared that my love is so strong
Losing you is a nightmare, baby, and to me it's new
Never before did you see me begging for more

[Chorus]
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions

Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in
every kiss

I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every
kiss
Caught in a land-slide of emotions

THE KING HAS LOST HIS CROWN LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say she's pushing you around
How does it feel? I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me my friend, how many nights you cried

[Chorus 1]
Disaster and disgrace - the king has lost his crown
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

[Verse 2]
Was it hard to step down from your throne
And to know tonight you're all alone?
Oh, what a shame, you really want that girl
She doesn't care, still you just dream of her
[Chorus 1]
Disaster and disgrace - the king has lost his crown
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

[Chorus 2]
Disaster and disgrace - the word is all around
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

You hate, you scream, you swear
And still you never reach him
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach him

It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane, a nowhere train for

You know they're going to get you
You try to break away
But they will never let you

You come, you stay, you go
It really doesn't matter
You've done it all before
By now they'll know the pattern

THE PIPER LYRICS

[Verse 1]
They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat and the snow and in the rain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Came to hear him play
Play their minds away

[Chorus]
We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon

[Post-Chorus]
Sub luna saltamus

[Verse 2]
They came from the south
From the west and the north and from the east
They waited for the man
Like a parish is waiting for the priest

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Longed to hear him play
Play their minds away

[Chorus]
We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon

[Post-Chorus]
Sub luna saltamus

[Verse 3]
He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And the fear was a weapon in his hand

[Pre-Chorus 3]
So they let him play
Play their minds away

[Chorus]
We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
And we dance beneath the moon

SHOULD I LAUGH OR CRY LYRICS
Intro]
[

"Noll... ett, två, tre"

[Verse 1]
He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on, the usual way, he's such a clever guy
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

[Verse 2]
He's dressed in the striped pyjamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives me of his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does, and me I get so tired
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

[Chorus]
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All I see is...
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry?
[Verse 3]
Strange how dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No more pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

[Chorus]
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All I see is...
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry?

Soldiers
SOLDIERS LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Do I hear what I think I'm hearing?
Do I see the signs I think I see?
Or is this just a fantasy?
Is it true that the beast is waking
Stirring in his restless sleep tonight
In the pale moonlight?

[Pre-Chorus]
In the grip of this cold December
You and I have reason to remember

[Chorus]
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I don't sing
They blow their horns and march along
They drum their drums and look so strong
You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I won't sing
Let's not look the other way
Taking a chance
'Cause if the bugler starts to play
We too must dance

[Verse 2]
What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble?
Won't somebody tell me what I hear
In the distance but drawing near?
Is it only a storm approaching?
All that thunder and the blinding light
In the winter night

[Pre-Chorus]
In the grip of this cold December
You and I have reason to remember

[Chorus]
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I don't sing
They blow their horns and march along
They drum their drums and look so strong
You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I won't sing
Let's not look the other way
Taking a chance
'Cause if the bugler starts to play
We too must dance
