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 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
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 going
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
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 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
(She's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes
I can hear how you work, practising hard
Playing night and day, woah-oh
And it sounds better now
Yes, you improve every time you play, woah-oh
But it's bad
You're so sad
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was, dum-dum-diddle, your darling fiddle
But I think you don't know that I exist
I'm the quiet kind, woah-oh
From the day when I first listened to you
You've been on my mind, woah-oh
You don't care
It's not fair
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Yo lo sone
y el corazon
me hablo de amor
con emocion
Si vives la magia
de hadas que hacen bien
veras que el futuro
sonrie tambien
Creo en angelitos
que me cuidan siempre de caer
Creo en angelitos
que la vida linda me hacen ver
Y llegare
yo lo sone
Yo lo sone
no fue ilusion
y me ayudo
en mi afliccion
Y la fantasia
a la oscuridad
la transforma en dia
en una verdad
Creo en angelitos
que me cuidan siempre de caer
Creo en angelitos
que la vida linda me hacen ver
Y llegare
yo lo sone
Y llegare
yo lo sone
Yo lo sone
y el corazon
me hablo de amor
con emocion
Si vives la magia
de hadas que hacen bien
veras que el futuro
sonrie tambien
Creo en angelitos
que me cuidan siempre de caer
Creo en angelitos
que la vida linda me hacen ver
Y llegare
I'll never know why I had to go
Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show
Boy, I was tough, packing all my stuff
Saying I don't need you anymore, I've had enough
And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here
Gotta have you near
As good as new, my love for you
And keeping it that way is my intention
As good as new and growing too
Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
It's as good as new, my love for you
Just like it used to be and even better
As good as new, thank God it's true
Darling, we were always meant to stay together
Feel like a creep, never felt so cheap
Never had a notion that my love could be so deep
How could I make such a dumb mistake
Now I know I'm not entitled to another break
But please, baby, I beg you to forgive 'cause I found out that
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here
Gotta get you near
I thought that our love was at an end but here I am again
As good as new, my love for you
And keeping it that way is my intention
As good as new and growing too
Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
It's as good as new, my love for you
Just like it used to be and even better
As good as new, thank God it's true
Darling, we were always meant to stay together
Yes the love I have for you feels as good as new
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 everybody and he only 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
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
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
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
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
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-ah-ah
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help some day
We depend on one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road (on the road) that we're going
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
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-ah-ah
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 (on the road) that we're going (that we're going)
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
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)
A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya
Viernes noche y adonde ir
todo listo para salir
luces por todas partes
busquen un lugar
musica y a bailar
Uno y todos a disfrutar
hay un ritmo sensacional
con un rock muy violento
largas a bailar
nadie te va a parar
y en la multitud
brillas con plenitud
Reina al fin toda juventud
tu inquietud
Reina al fin toda juventud
A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya
Y aungue sabes coquetear
te interesa solo bailar
con quien ya no te importa
sola te da igual
nadie te va a parar
Uno y todos a disfrutar
hay un ritmo sensacional
con un rock muy violento
largas a bailar
nadie te va a parar
y en la multitud
brillas con plenitud
Reina al fin toda juventud
tu inquietud
Reina al fin toda juventud
A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Puedes escuchar Fernando?
me recuerda tiempo atras
estrellas y una noche alla
en la lumbre azul Fernando
tarareabas tu cancion
con ese suave guitarrear
yo podia escuchar
esos tambores con un sordo redoblar
Se acercaban mas fernando
y el momento que pasaba
parecia eternidad
y senti temor Fernando
por la vida y juventud
nadie pensaba en morir
y no siento hoy verguenza al
confesar que tuve
ganas de llorar
Algo habia alrededor quiza
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en proteccion Fernando
no pensabamos jamas perder
ni echar atras
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haria ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haria ya Fernando
La vejez llego Fernando
y con ella una paz
que hoy logramos disfrutar
se durmio el tambor Fernando
Paraciera que fue ayer
que lo vivimos tu y yo
y en tus ojos veo aun
aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor.
Algo habia alrededor quiza
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en proteccion Fernando
no pensabamos jamas perder
ni echar atras
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haria ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haria ya Fernando
Algo habia alrededor quiza
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en proteccion Fernando
no pensabamos jamas perder
ni echar atras
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haria ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haria ya Fernando
Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
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 on 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
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
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 but 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
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
I watched the ship leaving harbor 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
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
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
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
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
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
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 fate and to me it's new
Never before did you see me begging for more
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
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
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
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
(I'm at the point of no returning)
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
(Caught in a land-slide of emotions)
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
Sitting in the darkest corner
In the tender light I saw her face
She was looking so sad and lonely
Someone help me, someone save me
I could see the look she gave me, oh
Oh yeah, and there was one thing only
That I knew I could do
Let's go girl
It's a beautiful place this world
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n'roll band
Let's go now
Let me show you that I know how
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n roll band
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n roll band
You'd been sitting there for hours
Try to hide behind the flowers now
Baby, we could have fun together
Come on, cheer up, let's get started
No use being broken-hearted now
Oh yeah, you're gonna feel much better
Yes I know that you will
Let's go girl
It's a beautiful place this world
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n roll band
Let's go now
Let me show you that I know how
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n roll band
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n roll band
[repeat and fade]
Changing, moving, in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams
Smiling, laughing, from the shadows
When I hear your voice I know what it means
I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try
You're all the reason for my life
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows
Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd
Thinking, wondering, what you're doing
I can stop myself from crying out loud
They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar
But then, they'd never shared our love
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
The city is a jungle, you better take care
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe it you better beware of me
I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner and try not to scream, it's me
I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights
I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
The city is a prison, you never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows and you'll see the shape, of me
I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights
I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
And if I meet you, what if I eat you, I am the tiger
I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
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 (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (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
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standin' 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
Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (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
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standin' 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 a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry
I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of the 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
Donde quedo el verano
aquel que nos unio
donde se fue, yo no lo se
si aun mi amor sigue por ti vivendo
Hasta manana te sabre esperar
dime tu, el lugar
es que la fuerza de un amor asi
sabe triunfar siempre a pesar de todo
Hasta manana te sabre esperar
junto a ti quiero estar
escribeme, y te lo explico
perdoname, te lo suplico
Hasta manana dime
hasta manana mi amor
Donde quedo nuestro sueno
aquel que se escapo
donde se fue, yo no lo se
si aun mi amor sigue por ti vivendo
Hasta manana te sabre esperar
dime tu, el lugar
es que la fuerza de un amor asi
sabe triunfar siempre a pesar de todo
Hasta manana te sabre esperar
junto a ti quiero estar
escribeme, y te lo explico
perdoname, te lo suplico
Hasta manana dime
hasta manana mi amor
Hasta manana te sabre esperar
junto a ti quiero estar
escribeme, y te lo explico
perdoname, te lo suplico
Hasta manana dime
Soy muy sencilla
y algo aburrida tal vez
las bromas que se, me salen seguro al reves
pero hay un talento, en mi singular
y es que la gente me escucha al cantar
y me hace feliz
orgullosa lo puedo anunciar, por eso
Quiero dar las gracias
a las canciones
que transmiten emociones
quiero dar las gracias
por lo que me hacen sentir, debo admitir
que con la musica vale vivir
por eso quiero dar las gracias
por este don en mi.
Todos decian que fui una nina precoz
baile y cante y sobresali por mi voz
y hoy me pregunto cual es la razon
por que siempre gana la gran atencion
una simple cancion
si he hace con el corazon, por eso...
Quiero dar las gracias
a las canciones
que transmiten emociones
quiero dar las gracias
por lo que me hacen sentir, debo admitir
que con la musica vale vivir
por eso quiero dar las gracias
por este don en mi.
Que suerte tuve
soy tan dichosa al cantar
quiero que todos disfrutemos juntos
que feliz, que placer, exclamar
Quiero dar las gracias
a las canciones
que transmiten emociones
quiero dar las gracias
por lo que me hacen sentir, debo admitir
que con la musica vale vivir
por eso quiero dar las gracias
por este don en mi.
por eso quiero dar las gracias
por este don en mi.
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
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
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
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
La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la la la laaa
La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la laaa
But today, I can't believe it's true
When you smiled and whispered "I love you"
El reloj
ya marco medianoche
y otra vez encontre
que tan solo me acompana la TV
El soplar
de ese viento afuera
vive la deolacion
me oprime con angustia el corazon.
No hay mas que soledad
nadie, ni por piedad.
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar
Tantos hay
con gran suerte y fortuna
todo pueden conseguir
tan distinto a lo que tengo que vivir
Aburrida me encuentro esta noche
y la gran oscuridad
es mi siempre obligada amistad.
No hay mas que soledad
nadie, ni por piedad.
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
No hay mas que soledad
nadie, ni por piedad.
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar
Ya no hay mas sonrisas
todo finaliza
nuestra casa hoy vacia
me hace llorar
y la historia aquitermina
hay que olvidar
Solo tu, sola yo
poco y nada se logro
solo tu, sola yo
nuestro amor quien puede negar, paso
Separarse es tan dificil lo se, pero yo mo ire
Conociendome a mi, conociendote a ti
Bueno, malo, tanto
Guardo risas, llanto
en los cuartos donde vimos, ninos jugar
hoy hay solo un gran silencio, en el lugar
Solo tu, sola yo
poco y nada se logro
solo tu, sola yo
nuestro amor quien puede negar, paso
Separarse es tan dificil lo se, pero yo mo ire
Conociendome a mi, conociendote a ti
Solo tu, sola yo
poco y nada se logro
solo tu, sola yo
nuestro amor quien puede negar, paso
Separarse es tan dificil lo se, pero yo mo ire
Conociendome a mi, conociendote a ti
I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Ohhh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
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
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
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
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending 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
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 the cars and the people
The air that you're breathing is me
Yes I am the city you let me be
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
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 the 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
I am the city
You let me be
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The air that you're breathing is me
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
I am the city
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
I am the city
You let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city
Yes I am the city you let me be
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
Sometimes when I'm mad
There's a part of me that seems to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
There's a voice in me that says, "You shouldn't be so mean"
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting while the other stands beside
Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak
Sometimes I have toyed
With ideas that I got from good old Dr. Freud
Nothing new of course
It may seem to you I try to break through open doors
Oh no, oh no
I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me
'Cause it's an explanation to my split identity
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak
Me and I...

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

I saw it in the mirror, I saw it in my face
That I'm no longer needed, anyone can take my place
I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes
'Cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries
(This boy cries)
I saw it in the mirror, my head is hanging low
And I ain't too familiar with the feelings that I show
I know you say you love me, but I'm seeing through your lies
It doesn't really bother you if this boy cries
(This boy cries)
I never thought I could cry for you
But honey I will miss you 'til the day I die
('Til the day I die)
I saw it in the mirror, I saw it in my face
That I'm no longer needed, anyone can take my place

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
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 leave it
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
My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar
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 leave it
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it...

The poster on the wall of a dear friend
I wish there was a way that I could show you how your songs set me free
The hero of them all
You're a legend
I guess I'll never get a chance to know you
Still you're close as can be
Make the bandstand to a dreamland, Rubber Ball Man
Clapping your hands, let your feet dance, Rubber Ball Man
When you're jumping up and down, nobody's standing still
Some of us dreaming, some of us screaming
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
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 (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (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
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standin' 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
Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (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
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standin' 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 a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
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 will stay
I'm tired and all 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
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
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 out to roam
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I have tried in vain never had success
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
I have lost my only friend
Now it seems I have to start again
Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
Looking for someone
Who would want to stay
I might find her
With a bit of luck one day
But who knows
So until then
I can only try and try again
Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily;
I remember well,
How it did embarrass me;
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again, the river's flowing slowly,
Following the same and uneventful course.
Now the tears have dried,
it's become a pleasant break,
I recall without remorse.
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And I will admit,
he had something that I miss.
I guess he was a rolling stone;
The only one I've known.
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned

Han står p? torget varje dag
En vänlig gammal man
Hans hår är lite grånat
Under mössans röda band
Med blanka knappor i sin rock
Och bössan i sin hand
Han vet nog ganska väl
Vad vi vill fråga om ibland
Hej gamle man
Kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska g?
För at f? komma dit som vi vill n?
Hej gamle man
Kanske är det vi som gör något fel änd?
Du har ju allt som vi har svårt att f?
Han verkar kanske trött ibland
Vem skulle väl r? med
Att lysa upp en väg för någon
Som aldrig kunnat se
Men trots att han har stott där nu
I alla dessa år
S? verkar det p? honom som har kommit dit igår
Hej gamle man
Kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska g?
För at f? komma dit som vi vill n?
Hej gamle man
Kanske är det vi som gör något fel änd?
Du har ju allt som vi har svårt att f?
Some people long for Berlin and Barcelona
They yearn for Paris, Madrid and Rome
And I know some who prefer Arizona
And some prefer home
I'm down and I feel depressed
Sitting here just waiting
For next bus travelling
Downtown
It's a crying shame
Isn't it
The beautiful weather
If I could have my way
Well, I would not be working
On a day like this I know what I'd like to be
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from
Every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour
What a good life
Lying laid back
Like an old railroad bum by the track
What a good life
Living outdoors
Heres to us one more toast and then well pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summers over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor Im 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
Were 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 Im to blame when all is said and done
Its so strange when youre 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
Theres no hurry any more when all is said and done
Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run
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?
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?
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
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
Se dice que el ansioso
esconde un alma en paz,
viajero o misionero
va lejos mucho mas
Si miro hasta el cielo
o dentro mio, no se,
ya nada importa mucho
si peudo con sinceridad
saber que, lo intente.
Como el mar y su creciente
va la gente al andar
como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la manana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
y lo hago al andar.
Viaje por tantos lados
en la imaginacion
estamos siempre andando
sin tiempo ni razon
quien sabe las respuestas
quien puede elegir
si existen diferencias
sabemos que hay, en cada ser
deseos de vivir.
Como el mar y su creciente
va la gente al andar
como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la manana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
y lo hago al andar.
La brisa que acaricia
con suavidad el mar
y todas las gaviotas
que vuelan sin cesar
lo veo y lo siento
y no lo se explicar
esplendido momento
sentir llover
y el sol nacer
vivir y disfrutar
Como el mar y su creciente
va la gente al andar
como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la manana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
y lo hago al andar.
Como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la manana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
Now there's a shadow passing over our faces
Doubt forever in our hearts
And in a while we'll have to pick up the traces
We won't find the missing parts.
Buy me a ticket I'll go to the Bahamas
I need a rest from our petty little dramas
Yes I really do
Aha um hum
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
I wasn't ready for this kind of intrusion
I was taken by surprise
Now both of us are in a state of confusion
Hesitation on our hearts.
Something unwanted has entered our existence
I think it's better to view it from a distance
Yes I really do
Aha um hum
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
Ya no hay mas sonrisas
todo finaliza
nuestra casa hoy vacia
me hace llorar
y la historia aquitermina
hay que olvidar
Solo tu, sola yo
poco y nada se logro
solo tu, sola yo
nuestro amor quien puede negar, paso
Separarse es tan dificil lo se, pero yo mo ire
Conociendome a mi, conociendote a ti
Bueno, malo, tanto
Guardo risas, llanto
en los cuartos donde vimos, ninos jugar
hoy hay solo un gran silencio, en el lugar
Solo tu, sola yo
poco y nada se logro
solo tu, sola yo
nuestro amor quien puede negar, paso
Separarse es tan dificil lo se, pero yo mo ire
Conociendome a mi, conociendote a ti
Solo tu, sola yo
poco y nada se logro
solo tu, sola yo
nuestro amor quien puede negar, paso
Separarse es tan dificil lo se, pero yo mo ire
Conociendome a mi, conociendote a ti

Agnetha: Tuuuure! Jag sjunker!! (Sture! I'm sinking!)
Bjorn: Na:, just det. (No, that's right.)
Agnetha: Sjunker 'u?! Jaaaa...(Are you sinking?! Yeees...)*

BABY
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
Baby, you can do magic
Baby, isn't it tragic
Maybe you can do something I can't
And I can't get enough of it
Baby, you can do wonders
Maybe you can do something I can't
So don't stop doing it
Don't stop doing it
Baby, you can do wonders

JUST A NOTION
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
Just a notion that's all
Just a feeling that you're watchin' me
Every move I'm making
Am I reading your mind
Cause it's almost like you're touching me
There is no mistaking
Just a notion
That you'll be walkin' up to me
In a while
And you smile and say hello
Then we'll be dancing through the night
Knowing everything from there on
Must be right
Just a notion
But somehow I know I'm not wrong
If it's our destiny there's nothing we can do
But tonight is very special
It's the night for me and you
6:35:
??: Är det bra? (Is that good?)
Bjorn: Det tycker jag vi kan ha va? Det är lite ovanligt s? där ocks??
(I think we can keep that
one, right? It's sort of unusual too, isn't it?)
??: Ja, det är det va. I alla fall nuförtiden. (Yes, at least nowadays.)
Bjorn: Javisst! (Yeah, sure!)
Benny: Alla...60 miljoner skivor ska brytas!
(Everybody...60 million records thrown away!
[meaning that everyone will hate it])

First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
Rikky Rock and Roller now that you're the headline
Rikky Rock and Roller don't it make you feel fine

To stand in the lights is just like a dream
What a dream
To be what you are, a rock and roll star
To make such a lot of money

Today a new jet plane
Tonight it's a new hotel
You live in your own world
You're under a magic spell

BURNING MY BRIDGES
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
When you hoot and you holler and you make me mad
And I've always been under your heel
Holy Christ what a lousy deal
Now I'm sick and tired of your tedious ways
And I ain't gonna take it no more
Oh no no - walkin' out that door
Burning my bridges, cutting my tie
Once again I wanna look into the eye
Being myself
Counting my pride
No un-right neighbour's gonna take me for a ride
Burning my bridges
Moving at last
Girl I'm leaving and I'm burying the past
Gonna have peace now
You can be free
No one here will make a sucker out of me
10:20:
Agnetha: Han har sjunk't. (He's sunk'd. )*

FERNANDO (Swedish Tango version)
Varfor sorjer du Fernando?
Varfor klingar din gitarr i moll,
vad ar det som star pa?
Ar det karleken Fernando--
har hon lamnat dej din stora, stora karlek--
ar det sa?
Den som alskat och forlorat
vet att sant kan anda handa da och da.
Lange, lange leve karleken
var basta van, Fernando.
Fyll ditt glas och hoj en skal for den,
for karleken, Fernando!
Spela, spela melodien och sjung sangen om lyckan.
Lange, lange leve karleken,
den karleken, Fernando

(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)

HAMLET III PART 2
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
When the autumn leaves are falling to the ground
When the air gets cold then I think of us
Of you and I
And it almost makes me cry
So sad and kind of bitter sweet
And the memories filled with tears
And I feel my heart will break
Guess it all was my mistake
Autumn's chilly winds were blowing through the trees
And rain fell softly on your face
Oh I remember every little thing about that day
I remember every place
Grey skies, you were laughing at the clouds
And rain fell softly on your face
The memories of our time together cannot be replaced
I never loved you more than on those happy autumn days
14:35:
Tretow: Det räcker där. (That's enough.)
Bjorn: Ja.
Agnetha: Nu hör jag s? allts? väldigt lite Frida!
(Now I hear very little of Frida!)

FREE AS A BUMBLE BEE
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
I'm down and I feel depressed
Sitting here just waiting
For the next bus travelling
Downtown
It's a crying shame
Isn't it, oh beautiful weather
If I could have my way
Well, I would not be working
On a day like this I know what I'd like to be
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from
Every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour
What a good life
Lying laid back
Like an old railroad bound by the track
What a good life
Living outdoors
Lie in the grass and chew on a straw
RUBBER BALL MAN
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
The poster on the wall of a dear friend
I wish there was a way that I could show you how your songs set me free
The hero of them all
You're a legend
I guess I'll never get a chance to know you
Still you're close as can be
Make the band stand to a dreamland, Rubber Ball Man
Clapping your hands, let your feet dance, Rubber Ball Man
When you're jumping up and down, nobody's standing still
Some of us dreaming, some of us screaming
Look at your fans, how we love you, Rubber Ball Man!

CRYING OVER YOU
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
I'm waitin' for you baby
I'm sitting all alone
I feel so cold without you
It chills me to the bone
I never thought you'd leave me
But now I know it's true
Oh Lord I'm blue
I'm cryin' over you
I'm waitin' for you baby
I'm sittin' all alone
I feel so cold without you
It chills me to the bone
I never thought you'd leave me
But now I know it's true
Oh Lord I'm blue
I'm cryin' over you
Cryin' over you
I'm cryin' over you
Cryin' over
Little memories of things we used to do
Oh Lord I'm blue
I'm cryin' over you
Oh Lord I'm blue
I'm cryin' over you
Oh Lord I'm blue
I'm cryin' over you

JUST LIKE THAT
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
Full Version
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following a safe predestinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force
My strongholds broke down all too easily
I remember well how he did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
Just Like That!
He walked into my house as smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just Like That!
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I lead him on
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just Like That!
As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again
The river's flowing slowly following its safe and uneventful course
Now the tears have dried
It's become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then I wonder where he is
And I will admit
He had something that I miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one I've known
Just Like That!
He walked into my house as smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just Like That!
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I lead him on
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just Like That!
As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Just Like That!
He walked into my house as smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just Like That!
As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Just Like That!

GIVIN' A LITTLE BIT MORE
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994 as part of Undeleted medley
There's a gentleness to everything you do
And it's rubbing off on me I feel it too
I've been waiting but my loneliness I get
When you call me on the phone
And I'm feeling so alone
When you ask me to come over
Baby you know I will
I could never stay on my own
Givin' it all I got to give
I've never done that before
I'm always givin' a little more
When I'm with you
Givin' it all I got to give
I've never done that before
I'm always givin' a little more
When I'm with you
I'm always givin' a little more
When I'm with you
Givin' it all I got to give
I've never done that before
I'm always givin' a little more
When I'm with you
Givin' it all I got to give
I've never done that before
I'm always givin' a little more
23:15:
Benny: OK. Den tar vi va? (Ok. That's a wrap then?)
----------------------------
* These are quotes from one of Stikkan (Stig) Anderson's novelty records
from the 60's called Ture och Märta , sung by Britta Borg and Rolf Bengtsson.
It tells the rather tragicomic story of two lovers living on each side of a river,
and for some odd reason, they have never met. Instead they stand each night
hollering, Can you hear me?! One night they finally decide to meet. It ends;
Ture?! Yes Märta? Are you sinking?
Yeeeees.
Suppose it was funny 30 years ago...
** Kalle Skändare is a paraphrase of Kalle Sändare(Kalle Transmitter),
the name of a Swedish comedian specializing in calling people on the phone
pretening to be all kinds of deranged characters, being so convincing
that people actually believe the stupid things he may say. The man
is a complete and utter nutcase! Both Micke and Benny love him.
KS on the other hand means
decreator, violator, molestor or ever butcherer.
Gives quite a clear indication on what Micke
thought about Burning My Bridges , doesn't it?
Well, there you are! Makes sense, doesn't it?
Don't worry, knowing Tretow, it's probably not
supposed to either!

Waterloo (French/Swedish)
(French)
Déj?, ? Waterloo Napoléon a d? se rendre
Et moi, je crois que mon destin prend
Aujourd'hui le même chemin
Les livres d'histoire et la vie
Racontent la même comédie
Waterloo - tu es vainqueur et je perds la guerre
Waterloo - je me constitue ta prisionière
Waterloo - je ne peux plus fuir et plus t'échapper
Waterloo - pour la vie je promets de t'aimer
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo - il est arriv? mon Waterloo
(Swedish)
Jo, jo, man värjer sig och fäktas i det längsta
Men, men, mot känslor kämpar gudarna förgäves har man sagt
Det är som jag hörde en sång
Jag tror det är kärlek p? gång
Waterloo - s? har man funnit sin överman
Waterloo - mäktig och väldig och stark är han
Waterloo - allting känns rätt, och det är min tro
Waterloo - du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo - du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Det är som jag hörde en sång
Jag tror det är kärlek p? gång
Waterloo - allting känns rätt, och det är min tro
Waterloo - du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo - du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo

Ring Ring (Swedish/Spanish/German)
(Swedish)
Tyst och död är telefon
Står där nästan som ett hån
Inte ringer du och säger Älsklig nu som du gjorde
Allting är s? tyst mot förr
Ingen knackar p? min dörr
Det som lockat mig frestar inte, nej, som det borde
Inget roar mig just nu
Ingen annan bara du! åh
(Spanish)
¡Ring Ring! Llámame al fin, por favor
¡Ring Ring! Es la más bella canción
¡Ring Ring! La guardo con emoción
Y estoy junto al teléfono
Sin moverme, ¡estoy mirándolo!
Oh, ¡Ring Ring! Llámame al fin, por favor
Oh, ¡Ring Ring! Llámame al fin, por favor
Yo te tuve y te perdi
Pero no lo comprendi
Me equivoqu? pero jamás podr? saber cómo ha sido
¿Cuánto har? que no ne ves?
¿Es un año? ¿Es un mes?
Si llorando estoy, comprende que yo sufro en silencio
Necesito tu perdón
¡Escucha a mi corazón! Oh...
(German)
Oh, Ring Ring, 14 0 7 0 3
Ring Ring, telefonier', es ist frei
Ring Ring, sonst ist es aus und vorbei
Geh doch endlich mal ran ans Telefon
Sag doch endlich: Komm an, ich warte schon
Oh, Ring Ring, 14 0 7 0 3
Oh, Ring Ring, sonst ist es aus und vorbei
Sag mir nich dir fehlt die Zeit
Oder die Gelegenheit
Denn es gibt hier doch an jeder Straßenecke eine Zelle
Sag mir nich da? es nicht paßt
Weil du keine Groschen hast
Denn in jeder Post, in jeder Bank ist eine Wechselstelle
Auch bei mir reißt mal der Draht
Häng dich an den Apparat
(Swedish)
Ring ring! Bara du slog en signal
Ring r
You say she's been mad at you
Then you say you'll be patient, ooh
Still I see that she makes you blue
Come on, I'll give you consolation
Gonna sing you my love song, gonna bring you some light
Gonna make you feel happy every day of your life
Gonna sing you my love song, gonna make it all right
You're all I ever need, my darling
Just to be where you wanna be
So much fun we could have then, hmm
To be close for eternity
What a miracle to happen
Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna sing it for you
Gonna give you sweet loving, gonna give myself too
Gonna sing you my lovesong, when I think about you
I know she doesn't make it easy
'Cause you don't please her like you please me
You're my life, you're my angel
You're my first, you're my last
Would she care if you lingered
For another night
Wanna hold you tight
We could make it right
Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna bring you some light
Gonna make you feel happy every day of your life
Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna make it all right
I know she doesn't make it easy
Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna sing it for you
Gonna give you sweet loving, gonna give myself too
Gonna sing you my lovesong, when I think about you
You're all I ever need, my darling
And I would love to sing my lovesong
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
You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends
(Together again)
When I meet my friends
(I'm gonna see them now)
And we're lookin' round for the action we sure play it cool
It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it's only a lie
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(You know you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh 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 in 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, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh 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, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
