Super Trouper

 

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
so imagine I was glad to hear you’re coming
suddenly I feel all right

and it’s gonna be so different

when I’m on the stage tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me

shining like the sun
smiling, having fun

feeling like a number one
tonight the 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

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
there are moments when I think I’m going crazy
but it’s gonna be alright

everything will be so different

when I’m on the stage tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me

shining like the sun
smiling, having fun

feeling like a number one
tonight the 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

So I’ll be there when you arrive

the sight of you will prove to me
I’m still alive

and when you take me in your arms

and hold me tight

I know it’s gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me

shining like the sun
smiling, having fun

feeling like a number one
tonight the 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

 

 

The Piper

 

They came from the hills

and they came from the valleys and the plains

they struggledmin the cold

in the heat and the snow and in the rain

came to hear him play

play their minds away

We’re all following a strange melody

we’re all summoned by a tune
we’re following the piper

and we dance beneath the moon
We’re following the piper

and we dance beneath the moon for him

and we dance beneath the moon

Sub luna saltamus

They came from the south

from the west and the north and from the east
they waited for the man

like a parish is waiting for the priest

longed to hear him play

play their minds away

We’re all following a strange melody

we’re all summoned by a tune
we’re following the piper

and we dance beneath the moon
We’re following the piper

and we dance beneath the moon for him

and we dance beneath the moon

Sub luna saltamus

He gave them a dream

he seduce everybody in the land
the fire in his eyes

and the fear was a weapon in his hand

so they let him play

play their minds away

We’re all following a strange melody

we’re all summoned by a tune
we’re following the piper

and we dance beneath the moon
We’re following the piper

and we dance beneath the moon for him

and we dance beneath the moon
