1.People Need Love

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand
Man has always wanted a woman by his side to keep him company
Women always knew that it takes a man to get matrimonial harmony
Everybody knows that a man who's feeling down wants some female
sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love 'till eternity

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...

Flowers in the desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her
man
If a man's in love and his woman wants the moon, then he'll take
it down if he can
Somebody who loves you and somebody who cares, isn't that what
you call a friend?
Gotta have love to carry on living
Isn't it easy to understand

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...


2.He Is Your Brother

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-aah..
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend on one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road that we're going (on the road)
We all need words of comfort and compassion (we all need)
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that's the only way

I was a woman never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-aah..

Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
You might need his help one day (he's your brother)
We depend on one another (brother)
Love him, that's the only way

On the road that we're going (on the road that we're going)
We all need words of comfort and compassion (we all need)
Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
Love him, that's the only way

Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
You might need his help one day (he's your brother)
We depend on one another (brother)
Love him, that's the only way


3.Ring, Ring

Written:B.&S.Andersson/B.Ulvaus/N.Sedaka/P.Cody

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?
Yes, I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

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?

You where 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 aching

Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

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?


4.Love Isn't Easy(But It Sure Is Hard Enough)

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Do you remember the first time, and all of your sweet, sweet
talk
Ain't heard it a lot since then, love
Now look at that guy, he's making me cry
He leaves every morning and he hardly says goodbye
But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling I know
We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough (sweet, sweet our
love is bitter-sweet)

Giving
Love is a reason for living
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough

From the first moment I saw you I've treated you like a queen
I've given you lots of presents
Now listen to that, just look at that cat
You'd think he was an angel but he's talking through his hat
But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling I know

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough (sweet, sweet our
love is bitter-sweet)

Giving (sweet, sweet our love is bitter-sweet)
Love is a reason for living (sweet, sweet our love is
bitter-sweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough

Patience (sweet, sweet our love is bitter-sweet)
Love isn't just a sensation (sweet, sweet our love is
bitter-sweet)
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough (sweet, sweet our
love is bitter-sweet)

Giving (sweet, sweet our love is bitter-sweet)
Love is a reason for living (sweet, sweet our love is
bitter-sweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough


5.Waterloo

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
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

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo


6.Honey Honey

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, 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

Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss good night
The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing

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

Honey honey, touch me baby, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me baby, a-ha, honey honey
You look like a movie star (look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are (I wonder just who you are)
And honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast

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

Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before (I'd 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


甜心.甜心
甜心,你嚇到我了!
甜心,你差點要了我的命!
我從前就聽說過你
我想知道得更多
現在,我終於知道他們的意思
你是個戀愛機器
噢!你讓我頭暈目眩

甜心,讓我感覺它!
甜心,讓我將它隱藏!
你今晚親吻道晚安的方式
﹝你今晚親吻道晚安的方式﹞
你緊緊抱著我的方式
﹝你緊緊抱著我的方式﹞
讓我想大聲歌唱

我不願傷害你,寶貝
我不想看見你哭
那麼,留在原地,女孩
你最好別興奮過度
但我已迷上你了,男孩
你永遠甩不掉我
世界上再也沒有別的地方
會讓我想去

甜心,觸摸我!寶貝
甜心,擁抱我!寶貝
你看起來像個電影明星
﹝你看起來像個電影明星﹞
但我知道你是誰
﹝但我知道你是誰﹞
甜心,坦白說
你像隻野獸


7.So Long

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

You think you're gonna make me soft with your fancy car
But I can tell you all of your tricks ain't gonna get you far
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 (ooh, honey honey)
See you honey (honey honey honey)
Can't buy me with you money (ooh, money money)
Tracy, Daisy
They may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl

Can't buy me with your money (ooh, money money)
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long (ooh, honey-hon honey hon-honey ooh,
mon-mon money money money)

You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, I gave them all away
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 (ooh, hon-hon)
See you honey (ooh, hon-honey)
Can't buy me with your money (ooh, mon-money)
Tracy, Daisy
They may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl

Can't buy me with your money (ooh, mon-money)
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long (ooh, honey-hon hon-hon-honey)

So long (ooh, hon-hon)
See you honey (ooh, hon-honey)
Can't buy me with your money (ooh, mon-money)
You know it's not worth trying

So long
So long
So long (ooh, honey-hon honey honey honey)

So long
So long
So long (ooh, honey-hon ooh, honey honey)

Crazy World
(B. Andersson, B. Ulv獘s)

I was out 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 you're front door
Had a feeling of emptiness
Like I've never had before

And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl?
Then I realise
It's a crazy world

As he disappeared in his car
I was stunned and I didn't know what to do
Everything I had ever dreamed
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

And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl?
Then I realise
It's a crazy world

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

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 gonna stay
You'll be seeing a lot of him
He's so nice in every way'

And I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realise
It's a crazy world

So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realise
It's a crazy world

Pick A Bale Of Cotton

Pick a bale of cotton

On Top Of Old Smokey
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
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 sing a thing about it
You're in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

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

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine it's ever loving light on me
On me, on me


8.I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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

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

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it
But just wait and see


9.SOS

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I try 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 I 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?


10.Mamma Mia

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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 everything
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 brokenhearted
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 the 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 everything

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 brokenhearted
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 brokenhearted
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


11.Fernando

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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
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 you 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

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
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


費南多

你聽得見鼓聲嗎?費南多
記得很久以前,有個像今晚一樣的星夜
在火光中,費南多、
你哼著歌
溫柔的撥弄著吉他
我可以聽到遠方傳來戰鼓和號角召喚的聲音

敵軍越來越近了,費南多
每一小時、每一分鐘彷彿永遠靜止不動
我很害怕,費南多
我們那麼年輕,擁有大好人生
沒有人準備赴死
我毫不羞愧的說:
隆隆的槍砲聲幾乎把我嚇哭了

那晚空中有些不尋常
星光閃閃發亮,費南多
它們為你我、為自由而閃耀,費南多
雖然我們從未想過可能戰敗
但絕不後悔
如果讓我重來一次
我仍是一樣的選擇,吾友

如今我們已經年老、頭髮灰白,費南多
許多年前,我就不曾再看你拿過來福槍
你聽得見鼓聲嗎?費南多
你可記得我們越過裡奧格蘭河的那個晚上

從你眼中我可以看到
在這片土地為自由而戰的你是多麼的驕傲


12.Dancing Queen

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

You can dance
You can live
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
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
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

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
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen


舞後

妳可以盡情舞動,盡情跳躍
盡情享受妳的人生
看看這個女孩、這幅景象
她骨子裡就是個舞後

週五夜晚,燈光昏暗
看看屋外,想找個地方去玩
那兒放著正點的音樂
讓人忘情搖擺
你走進裡面尋找國王

任何人都可能雀屏中選
夜未央,音樂正 high
有搖滾樂,一切都很完美
妳跳舞的情緒正高昂

當妳把握住機會
妳就是舞後
年輕而甜美,年紀才十七歲
舞後,抓住鈴鼓的節奏
妳可以盡情舞動,盡情跳躍
盡情享受妳的人生
看看這個女孩、這幅景象
她骨子裡就是個舞後

妳逗弄他們,讓他們心癢癢的
當他們慾火焚身,然後妳消失無蹤
尋找下一個目標,任何人都可能
妳跳舞的情緒正高昂




13.Money, Money, Money

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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
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

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

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
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

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

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


自譯
媽媽咪呀

我整夜工作,我整天工作,為了付賬,我必須付錢
它不是悲哀的
留給我,並且仍然那裡從沒好像是一單個的便士
那太糟糕
在我的夢裡我有一個計畫
如果我為我拿到一個富有的人
我確實不必工作,我將閒蕩並且玩得高興
錢,錢,錢
一定是有趣的
在富有的男人的世界內
錢,錢,錢
總是晴朗
在富有的男人的世界內
啊哈ahaaa
我能做的全部事情
如果我有一點錢
它是一個富有的男人的世界
一個人那樣難發現,但是我不能把他忘掉
它不是悲哀的
並且如果他碰巧是有空的,我打賭他將不喜歡我
那太糟糕
因此我必須離開,我必須去
到拉斯維加斯或者摩納哥
並且在一場比賽中贏得一筆財富,我的生活絕不會相同
錢,錢,錢
一定是有趣的
在富有的男人的世界內
錢,錢,錢
總是晴朗
在富有的男人的世界內
啊哈ahaaa
我能做的全部事情
如果我有一點錢
它是一個富有的男人的世界
錢,錢,錢
一定是有趣的
在富有的男人的世界內
錢,錢,錢
總是晴朗
在富有的男人的世界內
啊哈ahaaa
我能做的全部事情
如果我有一點錢
它是一個富有的男人的世界
它是一個富有的男人的世界


14.Knowing Me, Knowing You

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(this time we're through, this time we're through,
this time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
(I have to go, this time I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Memories, good days, bad days (memories, good days, bad days)
They'll be with me always (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 (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(this time we're through,
this time we're through,
this time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
(I have to go, this time I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do


15.The Name Of The Game

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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 (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
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 (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
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)
And 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)
And it means a lot


16.Take A Chance On Me

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
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've 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 (that's all I ask of you, honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing (oh)
We can go walking (yeah)
As long as we're together (long as we're together)
Listen to some music (oh)
Maybe just talking (yeah)
Get to know you better (get to know you 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 (take a chance...)
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've 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 (come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh, you can take your time, baby (oh)
I'm in no hurry (yeah)
Know I'm gonna get you (know I'm gonna get you)
You don't wanna hurt me (oh)
Baby, don't worry (yeah)
I ain't gonna let you (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 (take a chance...)
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've 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)


17.Eagle

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

They came flying from far away
Now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land
And they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

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

As all good friends we talk all night
And we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel
We climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?

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

And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, high (I can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas

And to go anywhere that I please


18.Summer Night City

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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

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

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 breath and time to live

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a 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

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

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city


19.Chiquitita

Chiquitita是西班牙文/意思是'小女孩'
Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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 (how it hurts to see you cry and how it
hurts to see you sad)
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 leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in
the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you
used to do before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin' 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 leavin' (you and I we know how all the
heartaches come and go)
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end (and you'll be dancing once again, and all
the pain you take will end)
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in
the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you
used to do 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


奇克提塔

奇克提塔,告訴我怎麼回事
你被自己的憂傷給綑綁住了
在你眼中看不到明日的希望
我不喜歡看到你這個樣子
你無法否認
我看到你是如此的悲傷與沉默

奇克提塔,告訴我實話
你可以靠在我的肩上哭泣
我是你必須信賴的最好朋友
你總是自以為是
現在,你的羽翼折損
但願我倆一起將它修復

奇克提塔,你我都明白
心痛來了又去
而且留下疤痕
你會再次起舞,痛苦終將結束
你將沒有時間悲傷
奇克提塔,我倆雖然哭泣
但太陽依然在天上照耀
讓我聽聽你像從前一樣的歌唱
唱首新歌吧!奇克提塔
像以往一樣,試試看
唱首新歌吧!奇克提塔

牆壁轟然倒下
你的愛情是支熄滅的蠟燭
一切都已結束,而且似乎很難挽回
奇克提塔,告訴我實話
你無法否認
我看到你是如此的悲傷與沉默

chiquitita是西班牙文,意思是'小女孩'


20.Does Your Mother Know

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

You're so hot
Teasing me
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a chick like you
It'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
Oh, but girl you're only a child

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


21.Voulez Vous

People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous...
I know what you think
'The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink'
Feeling mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets

22.Angeleyes

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah
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
'Cause 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
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
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
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah
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?
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
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
Crazy 'bout his angeleyes
Angeleyes
Once 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
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price


23.Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!(A Man After Midnight)

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Half past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' 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 the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm livin' in
Tired of TV
I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing 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


24.I Have A Dream

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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


25.The Winner Takes It All

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I'd belong 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

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 (yes, it's plain)
Why should I complain? (why complain?)

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

The judges will decide (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (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)

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

The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

So the winner
Takes it all
And the loser
Has to fall
Throw a dice
Cold as ice
Way down here
Someone dear

Takes it all
Has to fall
Yes, it's plain
Why complain?


26.Super Trouper

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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
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

Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Like I always do (sup-per-per trou-per-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,
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

Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Like I always do (sup-per-per trou-per-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 (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Like I always do (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you


27.On And On And On

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I was at a party and this feller 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

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, 'till the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone

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

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 'till the night is gone'

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone


28.Lay All Your Love On Me

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you

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

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
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear

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

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
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?

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


29.One Of Us

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


30.When All Is Said And Done

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Here's to us
One more toast
And then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside
Both 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

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

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

Standing calmly at the crossroads
No desire to run
There's no hurry anymore
When all is said and done


31.Head Over Heels

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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

Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles everyday
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

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: 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 on going

Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles everyday
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

You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation
She keeps on going

Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles everyday
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

I think she's one of those who
Always likes to do whatever she feels
And she goes
Head over heels


32.The Visitors

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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

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

I have been waiting for these visitors


33.The Day Before You Came

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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

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 its usual frame
The day before you came

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

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


34.Under Attack

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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

Under attack (I'm being)
I'm being taken (I'm being taken)
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart? (won't somebody have a
heart)
Come and rescue me now
'Cause I'm falling apart

Under attack (I'm taking)
I'm taking cover (I'm taking cover)
He's on my track
My chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now (thinking nothing can stop him
now)
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how

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 flattered 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

Under attack (I'm being)
I'm being taken (I'm being taken)
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart? (won't somebody have a
heart)
Come and rescue me now
'Cause I'm falling apart

Under attack (I'm taking)
I'm taking cover (I'm taking cover)
He's on my track
My chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now (thinking nothing can stop me
now)
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how


35.Thank You For The Music

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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
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 who ever 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 golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy
What a life
What a chance

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
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
