Lead vocal: Agnetha

I don't wanna stay here but I can't leave,

I'm in the spell of the magic you weave,

Somebody wake me up

I wish I could break it up,

But I can't shake loose, can't shake loose

I can't shake loose, can't shake loose

Any move I'll make in the end I will lose

I can't shake loose

I try and I try but it ain't no use

I could go like I did before

But these old shoes keep walking to your door

I wanna hide but when I hear you call,

I turn around, I know I would fall,

One step people shake

No matter what move I make,

Cos' I can't shake loose, can't shake loose

I can't shake loose, can't shake loose

Any move I'll make in the end I will lose

I can't shake loose

I try and try but it ain't no use

I could go like I did before

But these old shoes keep walking to your door

I don't wanna stay here,

But you know I can't leave,

Please let me go dear

Please let me leave,

I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose

I can't shake loose, can't shake loose

Any move I'll make in the end I will lose

I can't shake loose

I try and I try but it ain't no use

I could go like I did before

But these old shoes keep walking

I can't shake loose, oh...

I can't shake loose

I try and try, but it ain't no use

I could go like I did before

But these old shoes keep walking to the door

I can't shake loose,

No, I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose,

I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose,

No, I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose,

I can't shake loose

Cecilia, du sitter tyst,

Cecilian, men ute blaser

redan varens vind

Cecilia, hon sörjer

viskar ängens gräs,

susar lind

Cecilia, hon sörjer säger

vag som sakta slar

Cecilia, kom ut till oss

och se att det är var

Cecilia, säg lat mej

torka bort din tar

Cecilia, ropar vi

lat mej leka med ditt har

Du är sa vek,

du Är sa ung

och din sorg

den är sa tung

Cecilia, le ingen,

vi vill trösta,

vi vill se dej

glömma denn

men du sörjer än,

Album: The Visitors (1981)

Lead vocal: Frida

Down in the street

theyre 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 could

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 didnt 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

youre 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 youre 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 could

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 didnt believe

you really had the power

I only saw it as

dreams you would weave

until the final hour

I watched the ship

leaving harbour 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 could

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 didnt believe

you really had the power

I only saw it as

dreams you would weave

until the final hour

Im sorry Cassandra

Lead vocal: Frida

No rain but I felt the thunder

You came and my ship went under

With a white light shattering the night

As you smiled like you do

I could take evasive action

But I need the satisfaction

And I know, oh

I could learn a lot

From someone like you

Who knows what will happen

I'll keep my fingers crossed and

Hope for some reaction

Here it goes, it's chemistry tonight

My eyes are open

All the electricity seems right

I can feel a change in me

It's chemistry tonight

I know that I'm onto something special

Writing on the wall in neonlight

Telling me it's got to be

It's chemistry tonight

You turn and you look

Right through me

You know what you're

Doing to me

Very slow, oh I just can't erase

This smile from my face

I'm sure we could be terrific

So pure that it's scientific

'Cos it's true, ooh everything

We do falls right into place

Can't wait for the darkness

I'm lying in the bath

I turn on my radio

I know, there's chemistry tonight

My eyes are open

All the electricity seems right

I can feel a change in me

It's chemistry tonight

I know that I'm onto something special

Writing on the wall in neonlight

Telling me it's got to be

It's chemistry tonight

One kiss and you start a fire

One sip from your loving cup

Can take me high

My body's burning up

When you do like you do

I feel silent somehow

Feel you closer now

We may discover something

Maybe, it's chemistry tonight

My eyes are open

All the electricity seems right

I can feel a change in me

It's chemistry tonight (chemistry tonight)

I know that I'm onto something special (chemistry tonight)

Writing on the wall in neonlight (chemistry tonight)

Telling me it's got to be

It's chemistry tonight (chemistry tonight)

My eyes are open

All the electricity seems right

I can feel a change in me

It's chemistry tonight (chemistry tonight)

I know that I'm onto something special (chemistry tonight)

Writing on the wall in neonlight (chemistry tonight)

Telling me it's got to be

It's chemistry tonight (chemistry tonight)

Chanter la vie, la nuit, le jour

Chanter l'amour, chercher l'ami

Même quand le monde pleure à ton réveil

Aux passants de l'ombre parler du soleil

Le pays des anges

N'est pas forcément le paradis

Le pays des anges

Si ton cœur est grand, c'est par ici

Jusqu'à l'oubli, chanter la vie

Chanter la vie, toujours plus haut

Dans ses défauts, voir un défi

Ouvre ta fenêtre sur un arbre mort

Un enfant va naître, c'est lui le plus fort

Le pays des anges

N'est pas forcément le paradis

Le pays des anges

Si ton coeur est grand, c'est par ici

Jusqu'à l'oubli, chanter la vie

Chanter la vie, la nuit, le jour

Chanter l'amour, chercher l'ami

Chiquitita, dime por qué

en tus ojos hay

una sombra de gran pena

No quisiera verte así

aunque quieras disimularlo

si es que tan triste estás

para qué quieres callarlo

Chiquitita, dimelo tú

en mi hombro, aquí llorando

cuenta conmigo ya

para así seguir andando

Tan segura te conocí

y ahora tu ala quebrada

déjamela arreglar

yo la quiero ver curada

Chiquitita,

sabes muy bien

que las penas vienen

y van y desaparecen,

otra vez vas a bailar

y serás feliz,

Chiquitita,

no hay que llorar

las estrellas brillan por ti

Chiquitita dis-moi pourquoi
quand la vie est triste à pleurer
tu gardes au fond de toi
tant de larmes et tant de secrets
c'est l'automne d'un premier amour
mais l'amour tu sais n'y est pour rien
il y a toujours
un nouveau printemps qui revient

Chiquitita

je sais trop bien
la blessure d'un

premier chagrin
fait mal très longtemps
mais tout passe avec le temps
et le temps dépasse
et remet l'amour à sa place
chiquitita

je sais comme toi
le premier bonheur

qui s'en va
fait mal très longtemps
mais tu vas

chanter encore
et chanter

plus fort
chanter pour toi

chiquitita

Chiquitita ferme les yeux

mets ta tête au creux de mes bras

là tu vas t'endormir
tout comme autrefois
on n'oublie pas mais tu verras

tu vas retrouver ton sourire
demain tu voleras
dans le ciel de ton avenir

Chiquitita

je sais trop bien
la blessure d'un premier chagrin
fait mal très longtemps
mais tout passe avec le temps
et le temps dépasse
et remet l'amour à sa place

One two three four

It's in strange situations

That dreams are laid

Just a look

And they taunt you again

You think how it felt

Then the memory fades

As you enter

The once promised land

He squeezes

Then lets go your hand

Comfort me, comfort me

He sat out of the lamplight

As if to hide

While waiting for who

I'll never know

He smokes like he means it

To fill what he feels

That's empty

And nowhere to go

He sighs as he

Breathes me "hello"

Comfort me

He looks right through me

To another face

A smile in his eyes

From another time and place

To feel what it was

That happened then

But he couldn't take me there

The streets seem familiar

But something's gone

I watch as he slumbers

To go in search

Of the picture

That fills what he feels

I break into the once long ago

He smiles as he

Breathes her "hello"

Comfort me

He looks right through me

To another face

A smile in his eyes

From another time and place

To feel what it was

That happened then

But he couldn't take me there

It's in strange situations

That dreams are laid

Just a thought

And they haunt you again

If you'd known how it felt

Could it be the same

If you'd entered

That once promised land

If it squeezed

Then held on to your hand

Comfort me, comfort me

Una niña soy, que empieza a crecer

Tú me has hecho hablar

Tú me das valor

Ahora sé mostrar

Lo que esconde mi interior

Si confío en ti, si te doy mi fe

¿Me dirás adiós?

¿Te querrás burlar de mi

Where were you when i cried

When i needed you to be here by my side

Now, i've found you've always lied

When you said "i want to, need a place to hide"

Where were you when i died

When my breakdown pushed me right up to the sky

That's when real love replyed for a place to cry

Consolation, now

I need you anyhow

All my sorrows will be soaring away

If you want me to stay

Burning bridges lift(?), no more deep lonely cliffs (lonliness?)

Lies before me if you made up your mind

And say you're mine

Where were you when i cried

When i needed you to be here by my side

Now, i've found you've always lied

When you said "i want to, need a place to hide"

Where were you when i died

When my breakdown pushed me right up to the sky

I was up with the morning sun

couldnt sleep so I thought Id 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 your front door

had a feeling of emptiness

like I never had before

And I close my eyes

will you leave me girl

then I realise

its a crazy world

As he disappeared in his car

I was stunned and I didnt know what to do

everything I had ever dreamed

everything in my lifes a part of you

and I just couldnt move my feet

so I stood on the pavement as you came out

you acted as you didnt know

what it was all about

And I close my eyes

will you leave me girl

then I realise

its 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

theres a couple of men in my life

and one of them is my brother Joe

hes been gone for a long long time

but hes back and I think hes gonna stay

youll be seeing a lot of him

hes so nice in every way

And I close my eyes

never leave me, girl

then I realise

its a crazy world

You know that it's true

Baby, have I got a crush on you

Gimme this, gimme that

You boss me around

You're a teaser, you're a brat

The devil's pet daughter

But I'm stuck where I am

A ship run aground

You're a shark that's circling

Round me in the water

You devour me with ease

I just cannot get away now

I could stoop to anything to please

So gimme all you got is what I pray now

Boy oh boy, oh my oh my

I'm so happy I could cry

Don't ever stop it whatever you do

Have I got a crush on you

My oh my, oh boy oh boy

Lover can I be your toy?

Can't be without you

You know that it's true

Baby, have I got a crush on you

Gimme this, gimme that

You drive me insane

When you purr like a cat

I'm at the end of my tether

And I would throw you out

If I had a brain

But in the end you knock me

Down with a feather

And you know it all too well

I just cannot get away now

You are heaven to me

You are hell

But gimme all you got is what I pray now

Boy oh boy, oh my oh my

I'm so happy I could cry

Don't ever stop it whatever you do

Have I got a crush on you

When I think about the good love you gave me

Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby

Well, I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

As I look back on a love so sweet
I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby

Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And like a fool, I began to cry

When I think about the good love you gave me

Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby

Business and pleasure

Keeping you up,

Hunting for treasure

You can't dig enough,

Growing but losing

Staying up late,

All the nightclubs are closing

But you've got a date

So you've hit the right spot

But you've still got the itch,

Business and pleasure

You can't mix, you can't switch,

Just a case of a face and a place, no disgrace

It's just a rhythm a syndrome

It's a feeling you crave,

Click track, Click track

Move at your leisure

Make tracks leave no signs,

Like a fire in the desert

With winds from behind,

You're getting hot and live wired

Using down time,

All for business and pleasure

Time after time

So you've hit the right spot

But you've still got the itch,

Business and pleasure

You got bought, it's a bitch,

Just a case of a face and a place, no disgrace

It's just a rhythm a syndrome

It's a feeling you crave

Click track, Click track

Pupil to pupil

Scanning the screen,

You read it all over

And steal the scenes,

You're rougher than Crusoe

Bedded in leaves,

And you're looking for Friday

To answer your needs

So you've hit the right spot

But you've still got the itch,

Business and pleasure

You can't mix you can't switch,

Just a case of a face and a place, no disgrace

It's just a rhythm a syndrome

It's a feeling you crave

So you've hit the right spot

But you've still got the itch,

Business and pleasure

You got bought, it's a bitch,

Just a case of a face and a place, no disgrace

It's just a rhythm a syndrome

It's a feeling you crave

So you've hit the right spot

But you've still got the itch,

Business and pleasure

You can't mix you can't switch,

Just a case of a face and a place, no disgrace

It's just a rhythm a syndrome

It's a feeling you crave

Album: Ça Va Mal (7" Single) (1981)

Lead vocal: ABBA with Sylvie Vartan

Je veux retrouver la bohémienne qui m'a prédit :
Santé, argent, amour pour le reste de ma vie
Pour commencer je suis plus fauchée qu'un champ de blé
Et je suis malade par le simple fait d'y penser

Et pour l'amour il n'y a rien à dire je suis servie
Les garçons que j'aimais ont épousé mes amies
J'les ai vu passer sous mon cœur et sous mon nez
Il n'y en a pas un qui ai voulu s'arrêter
Il y a un problème avec les lignes de ma main
Ça ne correspond pas, il m'arrive rien de bien

Oh la la la la… Ça va mal
Oh la la la la la la… Très très mal
Oh la la la la… Pas génial
Oh la la la la la la… Pas normal
Oh la la la la… Infernal
Oh la la la la la la… Pas banal
Oh la la la la… Ça va mal
Oh la la la la la la… Très très mal

J'ai jeté cet horoscope qui osait me dire
"Prenez tous les risques, vous allez tout réussir"
J'ai réussi à rater tout ce que j'ai entrepris
Sur ma pauvre tête tombe une pluie de soucis

Les cartes ont menti, où est donc ce valet de cœur,
Qui devait enfin me faire connaître le bonheur
Une dame de pique à encore dû me le piquer
Je n'aurai jamais le plaisir de le rencontrer
Il y a un problème entre les cartes et mon destin
Ça ne correspond pas, il m'arrive rien de bien

Oh la la la la… Ça va mal
Oh la la la la la la… Très très mal
Oh la la la la… Pas génial
Oh la la la la la la… Pas normal
Oh la la la la… Infernal
Oh la la la la la la… Pas banal
Oh la la la la… Ça va mal
Oh la la la la la la… Très très mal

Oh la la la la… Ça va mal
Oh la la la la la la… Très très mal
Oh la la la la… Pas génial
Oh la la la la la la… Pas normal

Lead vocal: ABBA feat. French & Saunders

You broke my back against the ropes,
Just waiting for the final bell.
I'll throw in my towel,
And cash in my chips as well.

I roll the dice, I deal the cards,
I spin the wheel to see.
That a Danish guy in olden times,
How it's to be or not to be.

The other day it made no sense,
You saw that beard gave me offence.

C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est good for you, c'est bad for me
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est what will be, will be, will be

C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est good for you, C'est bad for me
(Most definitely)
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est what will be, will be, will be
(Be be, be be, be be, be be)

I don't mean to be a drag.
You Are a drag.
And recount our story with contempt.

Aha.

You see, I turned the page last night.
You turned a page?
Found you there with my best friend.
She's your best friend?

Has our final whistle blown? Has it blown?
Will we find love in extra time? I don't know.

We never seem to play at home.
Not any more.
And I'm left here on the touchline.
You've been sent off.

I roll the dice and spin the wheel to see,
If our love is now a casualty.

C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est good for you, C'est bad for me
(Quite bad for me)
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est what will be, will be, will be
(Be be, be be, be be, be be)

C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est good for you, C'est bad for me
(Quite seriously)
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est what will be, will be, will be
(Be be, be be, be be, be be)

California maiden,

with your suitcase home,

No one owned you,

no one phoned you

You're alone

Free as a winter sunshine,

through a cloudy sky,

Clothes in tatters,

nothing matters,

You'll get by.

Like a seagull in the sky lots of winter birds

way up high,

People try to clip your wings and tame you,

oh why, oh why

It's your life and your living,

it don't give a minute away,

It's your life and your living,

it don't give a minute away,

Summer finds you sleeping,

on a beach in Cannes,

You've had lovers.

there'll be others,

But there's no one man.

Maybe someday, you will marry,

but right now,

You're in no hurry,

got no worries,

Anyhow.

Like a seagull in the sky lots of winter birds

way up high,

People try to clip your wings and tame you,

oh why, oh why

It's your life and your living,

Lead vocal: Hootenanny Singers

I Roslagens famn på den blommande ö,
där vågorna kluckar mot strand,
och vassarna vagga och nyslaget hö,
det doftar emot mig ibland.
Där sitter jag uti bersån på en bänk
och tittar på tärnor och mås,
som störta mot fjärden i glitter och stänk
på jakt efter födan gunås.

Själv blandar jag fredligt mitt kaffe med kron
till angenäm styrka och smak
och lyssnar till dragspelets lockande ton,
som hörs från mitt stugugemak.
Jag är som en pojke, fast farfar jag är,
ja rospiggen spritter i mig!
Det blir bara värre med åren det där
med dans och med jäntornas blig.

Men hej, alla vänner som gästa min ö,
jag är både nykter och klok.
När morgonen gryr skall jag volma mitt hö
och vittja tvåhundrade krok.
Fördöme dig, skymning, och drag nu din kos.
Det brinner i martallens topp!
Här dansar Calle Schewen
med Roslagens ros,
han dansar till solen går opp!

Why d'ya whisper au revoir

Don't you think we'll ever meet again

Why d'ya whisper au revoir

Out time together can't be all in vain

Since I first saw you in the hotel bar

My whole vacation seemed to short by far

I spend each day each hour each minute

wondering who you are

Tell me why you say goodbye

Don't you think that we could still be friends

Tell me why you say goodbye

To me it doesn't really make no sense

Should all we said and done not mean no more

Could you forget me when I close that door

I don't believe that our relationship

could be ignored

Can't Make it Without You - though I try

Can't Make it Without You - girl

Can't Make it Without You - though I try

Can't Make it Without You - girl

You don't need to say farewell

If you really like to see me stay

You don't need to say farewell

All our tomorrows can be yesterdays

Since we both met there's bee a change in me

We're not just friends still meeting casually

I think it's obvious our future's

all too plain to see

Can't Make it Without You - though I try

Can't Make it Without You - girl

Can't Make it Without You - though I try

Can't Make it Without You - girl

I am on my way on a train
steaming along in the rain
from the life I lived before.
I have a tear in my eye
sometimes it's easy to cry
though I'm not a child anymore.

Can't stop the train from a rollin
or make the wheels turn slow
you know I had to go.
Can't stop the train from a rollin
and neither snow or rain
can get me back again.

I am on the run from my home
somehow I'll make it alone
if I'm strong enough today.
You know I had to go along, oh
pray for me while I am all gone
think of me sometime anyway.

Can't stop the train from a rollin
or make the wheels turn slow
you know I had to go.
Can't stop the train from a rollin
and neither snow or rain
can get me back again.

You're just too good to be true can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so much
And long last love has arrived and I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare is nothing else to compare
The sign of you usually weak there are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true can't take my eyes off of you
I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm your lonely night
I love you baby trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby come on and find you stay
And let me love you baby let me love you

You're just too good to be true...
Can't take my eyes off of you can't take my eyes off of you
You're just too good to be true can't take my eyes off of you

And long last love has arrived and I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby don't bring me down I pray

I was talking to some friends

'bout the time we spend together

Feeling sure that everything would turn out fine

We were happier than ever

always thought that no-one never

would be mean enough to break this heart of mine

Now it seems that all I got is memories of you

and for all I care they might as well be gone

How about the words of love and dreams that would come true

Is this all that I was waiting for so long

All them Changes changes changes

Changes changes changes

I Mormors trappuppgång
Hörs alltid skratt och sång
När solen tittar in
Då bjuds det på kalas
I söndagsfina glas
Och katten går i spinn

Hon gav mig det rådet
När himlen är grå
Skaffa en pensel
Och måla den blå

Ta livet i din hand
Och gå så långt du kan
Champagnegatan fram
Låt livet bubbla på
Så länge du kan gå
Champagnegatan fram

I Mormors hallonsaft
Finns barndomstidens kraft
Och längtan att bli stor
Det doftar av syrén
Från nästan varje gren
Runt huset där hon bor

Jag kan aldrig glömma
Det rådet hon gav
När sjön är för liten
Måla ett hav

Ta livet i din hand
Och gå så långt du kan
Champagnegatan fram
Låt livet bubbla på
Så länge du kan gå
Champagnegatan fram

Det finns gator som får livet stå still
Ingen bryr sig om du fryser
Andra gator vänder solsidan till
Och kan tindra
För å' lindra
Att vinden är hård
(Att vinden är hård)

(Vi går Champagnegatan fram
Kom ta, ta livet i din hand
Kom gå, kom gå så långt du kan
Vi går Champagnegatan fram)

Det är sånt vackert ljus
Högst upp i Mormors hus
Tre våningar från Gud
Hon sitter på sin stol
Och lyser som en sol
Så blommorna slår ut

Hon sa till mig ofta
Vart du än går
Strö lite solsken
I dina spår

Ta livet i din hand
Och gå så långt du kan
Champagnegatan fram
Låt livet bubbla på
Så länge du kan gå
Champagnegatan fram
Ta livet i din hand
Och gå så långt du kan
Champagnegatan fram
Låt livet bubbla på
Så länge du kan gå
Champagnegatan fram

(Vi går Champagnegatan fram
Kom ta, ta livet i din hand
Kom gå, kom gå så långt du kan
Vi går Champagnegatan fram)

If you listen I'll try and explain

All the little ways I have changed

Though I know to you it seems plain

Things can't always remain the same

All the schemes that I planned yesterday

(planned yesterday)

have died before reaching today

(reaching today)

Now they're lost in a non stop tomorrow

I was wrong to try and borrow from your time

Please don't feel bad about the love that we had together

I'm not quite the same as I was when I came

I feel better than before

But it doesn't seem to matter much anymore

I can tell by the way you look at me

(you look at me)

That you can't bring yourself to see

(yourself to see)

That something you haven't seen

could have slowly won it's way between you and me

Though it isn't the way that I planned it

(way that I planned it)

but can't say that I understand it

(I understand it)

There's something that we can't undo

I'll been slowly changing away from you

Please don't feel bad about the love that we had together

I'm not quite the same as I was when I came

I feel better than before

But it doesn't seem to matter much anymore

Changing away from you...

Det var en svart natt, katt natt, tusan till natt
Jag hade trånga skor
Det regna hela da'n så min keps blev för stor
Jag stannade till vid ett café och fick se Fred Astaire
i kvällens repris
Dansa omkring bland nakna ben
Klädd som en miljonär

Chapeau-Claque och Cadillac
Blanka skor och frack
Har jag sett i filmer från Hollywood
Chapeau-Claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack

Jag kom i säng sent, hem sent, tusan så sent
Och somna med en gång
Jag drömde att jag sjöng en ny Hollywood sång
Jag dansade runt som Fred Astaire på en skär Broadway-scen
Jag gjorde succé
Tills jag blev väckt av telefon
Mitt i en snygg entré

Chapeau-Claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack

Jag kom i säng sent, hem sent, tusan så sent
Och somna med en gång
Jag drömde att jag sjöng en ny Hollywood sång

I wonder how I've been this year
If I've been nice Santa comes to me
Oh, I've got Christmas on my mind

We'll go out together looking for a Christmas tree
We will put a little star on the top and then we are
Ready for the turkey Momma's made
In our sled we'll take a ride
Upon the snow so deep and wide
When Santa's coming down the chim-a-ney
Oh, I've got Christmas on my mind

We'll go out together looking for a Christmas tree
We will put a little star on the top and then we are

Oh it's Christmas today,

everywhere they dance and play

Christmas making me so gay,

Christmas today

As I awoke this very morning so

I doubt the strangest dream

In which the world was all marsh-mallow
decorated with whipped cream

Yes I laughed but soon I realised that my
dream was very true
Through the window I saw the

Winter she was back with me and you

Oh it's Christmas today,

everywhere they dance and play
Christmas making me so gay,

Christmas today

Now I'm waiting for Father Christmas,

yes I know he'll come to me

I've been kind to everybody,

at least as far as I can see

If he won't come I will not
cry but still I'll face the truth

'Cause I know that Father Christmas has
so many things to do

Oh it's Christmas today,

everywhere they dance and play
Christmas making me so gay,

Christmas today

From the back yard where I'm living

I can hear a lovely song
It's a song for peace and freedom

in which love will march along

Everywhere are people dancing,

no more sorrows, no more pain

I can hear the church bells
ringing, they're releasing us from chains.

Oh it's Christmas
today, everywhere they dance and play
Christmas making me so gay,
Christmas today
Christmas today
Christmas today

Today is Christmas
Christmas today
Christmas
Christmas

Jag vet en vän som bor i huset intill
Och hon har lovat mej allt va jag vill
mmmhm.. jag vet en vän, som är lika blåögd som jag
vi borde få det bra

När mina fingrar inte känner mer
när mina ögon inte längre ser
när livet vänder
ska jag ännu be

(come give me love, come give me love)

Kom ge mej världen
kom ge mej fred
kom sänk ditt huvud
och lägg dej ner
kom ge mej kroppen
kom ge mej allt som du har
och jag ska stanna kvar

Jag vet ett rum långt in dit vi brukar gå
om vi ska gömma oss, bara vi två
mmmhm, jag vet en vän, som är lika mörkrädd som jag
vi gjorde slut idag

När mina öron inte längre hör
när bladen faller och en stjärna dör
när livet vänder
ska jag ännu be

(come give me love, come give me love)

Kom ge mej solen
kom ge mej hav
kom ge mej jorden
vi lever av
kom ge mej kroppen
kom ge mej allt som du har
och jag ska stanna kvar
mmm,

Kom ge mej sommar
kom ge mej liv
kom ge mej kärlek och livs motiv
kom ge mej kroppen
kom ge mej allt som du har
och jag ska stanna kvar
mmm,

Kom ge mej sanning
kom ge mej tid
kom ge mej kunskap
kom ge mej frid
kom ge mej doften
kom ge mej allt som du har
och jag ska stanna kvar
mmm,

(Kom ge mej världen
kom ge mej fred
kom sänk ditt huvud
och lägg dej ner
kom ge mej kroppen
kom ge mej allt som du har
och jag ska stanna kvar)

(- i bakgrund samtidigt som man sjunger nedanstående fyra rader)

Kär mina öron inte längre hör
när bladen faller och en stjärna dör
när livet vänder
ska jag ännu be

Kom ge mej världen
kom ge mej fred
kom sänk ditt huvud
och lägg dej ner
kom ge mej kroppen
kom ge mej allt som du har
och jag ska stanna kvar

Je ne sais pas comment le prendre,

ne savent pas où aller
Mon faible résistance au roulement
Et chaque jour, la cale se resserre

et il me trouble ainsi
(Vous savez que je ne suis pas un imbécile)
Je suis pas un imbécile et pourtant,

il est clair pour moi
Je n'ai pas une stratégie
C'est un peu comme prendre des bonbons

d'un bébé et je pense que je dois être

Sous l'attaque, je suis prise
A propos de se fissurer,

casser les défenses
Est-ce que quelqu'un ne voir

et enregistrer un coeur
Viens me sauver maintenant

parce que je suis en train de s'effondrer
En cas d'attaque, je prends la couverture
Il a vu mon titre, mon amant chasse
Penser rien ne va l'arrêter maintenant
Si je veux, je ne suis pas sûr, je ne sais pas comment

Cela devient fou, je devrais le lui dire
Vraiment laisser mon show colère
Parce attente à la réponse à ses

questions est un coup définitif
(Je suis un peu certain que c'est la vérité)
Je suppose que je suis un peu flatté,

mais j'ai peur aussi bien
Quelque chose comme une formule magique
J'ose à peine penser à ce qui pourrait arriver,

où je serais si je tombais

Sous l'attaque, je suis prise
A propos de se fissurer,

casser les défenses
Est-ce que quelqu'un ne voir

et enregistrer un coeur
Viens me sauver maintenant

parce que je suis en train de s'effondrer
En cas d'attaque, je prends la couverture
Il a vu mon titre, mon amant chasse
Penser rien ne va l'arrêter maintenant
Si je veux, je ne suis pas sûr, je ne sais pas comment

Sous l'attaque, je suis prise
A propos de se fissurer,

casser les défenses
Est-ce que quelqu'un ne voir

et enregistrer un coeur
Viens me sauver maintenant

The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me

The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
"You might not believe this, little fella,

but it'll cure your Asthma too!"
An' I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
Don't waste yer time . . .

I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!," he said
An' held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around,
I said
"The price of meat has just gone up
An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . "
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?)
Don't you know,
You could make more money as a butcher,
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me . . . )
Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm

Album: Gemini (1985)

Lead vocal: Gemini

Please take one look at me
Tell me who do you see
Just someone from the past
Memories are fading fast
I'm still around
And I just can't tell what I feel
Don't turn me down
I am flesh and blood, I am real

Secretive millionaires
Unlikely love affairs
Strangers that come along
Handsome and dark and strong
Doctors in white
Aren't they all too few around here
When will your knight
In his shining armour appear

Merchants of dreams
Have arrived and they're
Here to sell
It's just Copy Love
Copy Love, who needs that
Where there's a market
There's always a tale to tell
It's just Copy Love
Copy Love, who needs that
Who needs that
Glitter and gold
That's not you and me
And you'd be a fool to fall
It's just Copy Love, that's all

Orphan inheriting
Fortune and wedding ring
Servants and grand estate
All on a silver plate
Don't let your brain
Fall asleep on fairyland dreams
Castles in Spain
They're just false and
Ludicrous schemes

Merchants of dreams
Have arrived and they're
Here to sell
It's just Copy Love
Copy Love, who needs that
Where there's a market
There's always a tale to tell
It's just Copy Love
Copy Love, who needs that
Who needs that
Glitter and gold
That's not you and me
And you'd be a fool to fall
It's just Copy Love, that's all

Lead vocal: Frida

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried, a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say, you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, remember, all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now, now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead and cry that river
'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you

Lead vocal: ABBA feat. Bonnie & Josè

Buiten op straat staan de tanks met soldaten
Dronken van macht en verdacht op verzet
Schietend en lachend uit pure schaamte
En jij ligt huilend alleen op je bed

Jammer, Cassandra, maar niemand gelooft je
Toch sta je niet zo alleen in je smart
Duizenden vrouwen, die jou geloven
Vrouwen in 't zwart
Treuren in hun hart

refr.:
Sorry, Cassandra, wat kunnen we doen
Om jouw verdriet te stelpen
Iedereen wil wel, maar niemand weet hoe
Wij jou daar kunnen helpen
Want wie van ons is bereid
Om in 't felst van de strijd
Voor jou te vechten, misschien
Sorry, Cassandra, wat moeten we doen
In onze machteloosheid
Wij willen helpen maar zeg ons dan hoe
Hoe jij je zoon terug krijgt

Sinds ze die morgen je zoon kwamen halen
Zo uit z'n bed, een geweer in z'n rug
En nooit meer iets van hem hebt vernomen
Geloof je toch nog: hij komt weer terug
Sorry, het antwoord ligt ver in de toekomst

Iedereen twijfelt, maar jij weet het wel
Bidden tot God, tot je zoon terugkomt
Levend in 'n hel, zoekend naar z'n cel

refr.

Als zij die nacht weer door schoten gewekt wordt
Rent ze de stad door en komt op 't plein
Vrouwen met angst in hun donkere ogen
In 'n rookgordijn, is hun zoon daarbij

refr.

Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra

Sorry, Sandra

Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra
Sorry, Sandra
