Joyful performance from German TV 1982 in HQ ! Thanks to all for the many kind words and views on my recent uploads, on this and on my SHAYMCN3 channel too :) One of their final singles and included on more recent versions of 'The Visitors' album Recording for Under Attack began between August 2 and August 4 1982 at Polar Music Studios, StockholmThe group had originally intended to release a new studio album, but the stress of the working environment led them to indefinitely shelve the project and instead release a double-album compilation of their past singles. Since it was decided that there would be two new tracks on the compilation, ABBA set to work recording the songs. The two tracks that made it onto what became "The Singles: The First 10 Years" were "The Day Before You Came" and "Under Attack". The former was released as a single in October 1982. The video for "Under Attack" was filmed in November 16, 1982.The song contains fragments from two unreleased ABBA songs: "Just Like That" and "Rubber Ball Man". On December 11, 1982, ABBA performed the song on the BBC's Late Late Breakfast Show, in what was their last collective performance. -wikipedia 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 taken About to crack, defences breaking Won't somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart Under attack, I'm taking cover He's on my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothing can stop him now Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how This is getting crazy, I should tell him so Really let my anger show Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a definite no (I'm kind of certain that's the truth) 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 taken About to crack, defences breaking Won't somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart Under attack, I'm taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now Should I want to, I'm not sure, I won't know how Under attack, I'm being taken About to crack, defences breaking Won't somebody see and save a heart Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart Under attack, I'm taking cover He's on my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothing can stop him now Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how
