I hear the doorbell 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...
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the door-knob
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...
Now i hear them moving
muffled noises coming through the door
i feel i'm
crackin' up
voices growing louder, irritation building
and i'm close to fainting
crackin' up
they must know by now i'm in here trembling
in a terror evergrowing
crackin' up
my whole world is falling, going crazy
there is no escaping now, i'm
crackin' up
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...
Now i hear them moving
muffled noises coming through the door
i feel i'm
crackin' up
voices growing louder, irritation building
and i'm close to fainting
crackin' up
they must know by now i'm in here trembling
in a terror evergrowing
crackin' up
my whole world is falling, going crazy
there is no escaping now, i'm
crackin' up
Now i hear them moving
muffled noises coming through the door
i feel i'm
crackin' up
voices growing louder, irritation building
and i'm close to fainting
crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
they must know by now i'm in here trembling
in a terror evergrowing
crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
my whole world is falling, going crazy
there is no escaping now, i'm
crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
now i hear them moving
muffled noises coming through the door
i feel i'm
crackin' up

Frida: 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
came to hear him play
play their minds away
agnetha, frida: 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
sub luna saltamus
frida: 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
longed to hear him play
play their minds away
agnetha, frida: 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
sub luna saltamus
frida: 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
so they let him play
play their minds away
agnetha, frida: 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
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?

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?

Does it mean anything to you?

I believe
your new girl turned you down
and they say
she’s pushin’ you around
how does it feel
I guess it hurts your pride
tell me my friend
how many nights you’ve cried
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

Are you sure you wanna hear more
What if I ain't worth the while
Not the style you'd be lookin' 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
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
I don't believe in fairy-tales
Sweet nothings in my ear
But I do believe in sympathy
That's me, you see
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
There's a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
If I keep on searchin', but until then
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
I'm nothing special,
In fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke,
You've probaly 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
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
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
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 the golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody,
What a joy
What a life,
What a chance
Thank you for the music…Thank you for the music,

Suzy was nine and i was ten
right at the time when boys like to think they're men
she used to follow us at school
we really thought that she was a little fool
and one day we said to her
we don't want to hurt you girl
but you'd better
Look for a friend of your own, suzy-hang-around
better come back when you're grown, suzy-hang-around
nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
so get off our playground and stay away
that's all that we've got to say
suzy-hang-around
Suzy went home to mama's arms
mama said "look, she's never done you no harm
so get off her back and let her be
why can't you play together in harmony?"
we really didn't know what to say
but as soon as she went away
we laughed and said
Look for a friend of your own, suzy-hang-around
better come back when you're grown, suzy-hang-around
nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
so get off our playground and stay away
that's all that we've got to say
suzy-hang-around
Yes you'd better
look for a friend of your own, suzy-hang-around

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
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)
so imagine i was glad to hear you're coming
(glad to hear you're coming)
suddenly i feel all right
(and suddenly it's gonna be)
and it's gonna be so different
when i'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
super trouper lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
feeling like a number one
tonight the
super trouper beams are gonna blind me
but i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Facing twenty thousand 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)
there are moments when i think i'm going crazy
(think i'm going crazy)
but it's gonna be alright
(you'll soon be changing everything)
everything will be so different
when i'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
super trouper lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
feeling like a number one
tonight the
super trouper beams are gonna blind me
but i won't feel blue

like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
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
Tonight the
super trouper lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
feeling like a number one
tonight the
super trouper beams are gonna blind me
but i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Summer night city
summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise soul dancing in the dark
sumemr night city
walking in the moonlight love making in the park
summer night city
In the sun i feel like sleeping
i can't take it for too long
my impatience slowly creeping
up my spine and going strong
i know what's waiting there for me
tonight i'm loose and fancy free
ah-ahhh
When the night comes with the action
i jus tknow it's time to go
can't resist the strange attraction
from this giant dynamo
lots to give and lots to take
time to breathe and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise soul dancing in the dark
summer night city
walking in the moonlight love making in the park
summer night city
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
i love the feeling in the air
my kind of people everywhere
ah-ahh
When the night comes with the action
i just know it's time to go
can't resisit the strange attraction
from this giant dynamo
and tomorrow when it's dawning
and the first birds starts 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
Waiting for the sunrise soul dancing in the dark
sumemr night city
walking in the moon light love making in the park
summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise...
(repeat to fade)
Agnetha 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
in the grip of this cold december
you and i have reason to remember
agnetha, frida 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
agnetha 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
in the grip of this cold december
you and i have reason to remember
agnetha, frida 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
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
You think you're gonna make me sulk, you and your fancy car, ah-ha-ha
but i can tell you honey 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
all right, all right, all right, all right
So long, see you honey
you can't buy me with your money
chasing, dazing, driving me 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 trying
so long, so long, so long
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
all right, all right, all right, all right
So long, see you honey
you can't buy me with your money
chasing, dazing, driving me 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 trying
so long, so long, so long
So long, see you honey
you can't buy me with your money
you know it's not worth trying
so long, so long, so long
so long, so long, so long
so long, so long, so long
Agnetha schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
i watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
and i have to sit down for a while
the feeling that i'm losing her forever
and without really entering her world
i'm glad whenever i can share her laughter
that funny little girl
agnetha, frida slipping through my fingers all the time
i try to capture every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers all the time
do i really see what's in her mind
each time i think i'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers all the time
agnetha sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
barely awake i let precious time go by
then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
ans a sense of guilt i can't deny
what happened to the wonderful adventures
the places i had planned for us to go
well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
and why, i just don't know
agnetha, frida slipping through my fingers all the time
i try to capture every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers all the time
do i really see what's in her mind
each time i think i'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers all the time
agnetha sometimes i wish that i could freeze the picture
and save it from the funny tricks of time
(slipping through my fingers)
agnetha, frida slipping through my fingers all the time
agnetha schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
See me sitting in the palmtree
looking down at people passing by
sitting here no-one can harm me
they just stare at me and wonder why
no need to bother, i'm gonna stay up here
whatever happens, i won't let no-one near
until you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind, won't you please
you really love me, jeanie jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
and in the evening, when the sun goes down
i'll be the bluest of men in this town
'cause i love you, jeanie jeanie on my mind
See me sitting in the palmtree
waiting for those little words from you
people laugh and point their fingers
like i was a monkey at the zoo
but i will stay here, among my coconuts
so you will know dear, you're everything i've got
now won't you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind
Winds blow, stars glow, i see a light in a window
dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please
See me sitting in the palmtree
feeling angry at the silly crowd
no-one else but you can calm me
you should know by now i'm far too proud
i need to show you, i've got my feelings too
you shouldn't treat me like you always do
so won't you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind, won't you please
you really love me, jeanie jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
and in the evening, when the sun goes down
i'll be the bluest of men in this town
'cause i love you, jeanie jeanie on my mind
jeanie jeanie you're so fine
jeanie jeanie on my mind
jeanie jeanie you're so fine
jeanie jeanie on my mind
jeanie jeanie you're so fine
Frida 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
he's dressed
in the striped pyamas that i bought
trousers too short
gives me
on his small philosophy
carries on the way he does
and me i get so tired
and i wonder
should i laugh or cry
agnetha, frida 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 a big balloon
halfway up to the moon
he's wrapped up in the warm
and save cocoon
of an eternal lie
so should i laugh or cry
frida strange how
dangerously indifferent i have grown
cold as a stone
no more
pain as there was pain before
far away he rambles on
i feel my throat go dry
and i wonder
should i laugh or cry
agnetha, frida 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 a big balloon
halfway up to the moon
he's wrapped up in the warm
and save cocoon
of an eternal lie
so should i laugh or cry
Björn i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
how i wish this road would take me home where i belong
cause i have found no other place where i would stay
i'm tired and grown, my dreams have failed along the way
i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
though i wonder what my folks would think about me now
i guess i've changed, like people do when things go wrong
but in the end, somehow i know, we'll get along
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
santa rosa i'll be back to stay
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
i'm on my way
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
santa rosa i'll be back to stay
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
how i wish to see the old house where i used to live
and all my friends, will they be there when i come home
how i regret the day when i set up to go
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
santa rosa i'll be back to stay
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
i'm on my way
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
santa rosa i'll be back to stay
pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
(i'd give anything to be back home)
i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
(i'd give anything to be back home)
i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
(i'd give anything to be back home)
i'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
(i'd give anything to be back home)
i'd give anything to be back home .......
Från skultorp görel seglade
Till sweden och polar
Hon kom, hon sågs, hon segrade
Och därför är hon kvar
Nu sitter hon som direktör
Och stikkans stora tröst
Där ska hon sitta tills hon dör
Och höra stikkans röst
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Jag klarar inget utan dej
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Kan någon svara mej
Det svåraste det klarar hon
En stjärna har vi fått
Och ringer du så svarar hon att:
“this is swedens aut”
Agnetha, frida, allihop
Och björn och benny me’
Dom stressar henne med små rop
Ja, vem gör inte de’
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Vi klarar inget utan dej
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Kan någon svara mej
I sommarnattens skeende
I höstens regn och dis
Hon talar alltid leende
Med sina “licensees”
Dom ringer från brasilien
Från japan och irak
Och håller samma stil igen
Och frågar samma sak
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Vi klarar inget utan dej
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Kan någon svara mej
Ja, överallt är görel me’
Och kollar vad som sker
Hon har sin lilla hand i de’
Och mycket, mycket mer
Och nu så är det ännu en
Som ska ha liten hand
När hennes anders ringer sen
Så hör vi nog ibland
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Jag klarar inget utan dej
Var är görel, säg
Var är görel, hej
Kan någon svara mej
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed 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
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
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 seem so far away though you are 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
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
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?
