ABBA Live

Can you hear the drums fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And i'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando

Now we're old and grey fernando
And since many years i haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the rio grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando
Yes, if i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando...

My my, at waterloo napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and i have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

My my, i tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could i ever refuse
I feel like i win when i lose

Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you

And how could i ever refuse
I feel like i win when i lose

Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
Like i always do
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When i called you last night from glasgow
All i do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
(wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine i was glad to hear you're coming
(glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly i feel all right
(and suddenly it's gonna be)
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
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still i'm thinking about you only
(still i'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when i think i'm going crazy
(think i'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(you'll soon be changing everything)
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
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

So i'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me i'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the
Super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I work all night, i work all day, to pay the bills i have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams i have a plan
If i got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, i'd fool around and have a ball...

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

A man like that is hard to find but i can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free i bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So i must leave, i'll have to go
To las vegas or monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

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

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

It's a rich man's world

He had what you might call a trivial occupation
He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station
With no romance in his life
Sometimes he wished he had a wife
He read the matrimonial advertising pages
The cries for help from different people, different ages
But they had nothing to say
At least not until the day
When something special he read
This is what it said:

If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue
So call us and get two for the price of one
If you dream of the girl for you
(if you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you)
Then call us and get two for the price of one
(why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one)
We're the answer if you feel blue
(we may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two)
So call us and get two for the price of one
(why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one)

He called the number and a voice said, "alice whiting"
The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting
He was amazed at his luck
The purest streak of gold he'd struck
He said, "i read your ad, it sounded rather thrilling
I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling
Why don't we meet for a chat
The three of us in my flat
I can't forget what i read"
This is what it said:

If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue
So call us and get two for the price of one
If you dream of the girl for you
(if you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you)
Then call us and get two for the price of one
(why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one)
We're the answer if you feel blue
(we may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two)
So call us and get two
(why don't you call us and you'll get two)
For the price of one...

She said, "i'm sure we must be perfect for each other
And if you doubt it you'll be certain when you meet my mother"

I was at a party and this fella said to me
"something bad is happening, i'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"
I said, "who are you to talk about impending doom?"
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, "i'm a minister, a big shot in the state"
I said, "i just can't believe it, boy i think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"
He said, "keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

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

Over in the corner i could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So i took advantage of the fact that i'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, "who am i and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"
I said i was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, "if you're going somewhere can i come along?"
I said, "keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

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