Thank You For The Music

(b. andersson, b. ulvæus)
We're not the stars of a hollywood movie
So what's the use to pretend
I'm not so charming and you're not so groovy
You've gotta face it my friend

Dream world
You've been living in a dream world
Trust me
You just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world
Here i am, there you are, we're gonna make it together
And we made it so far, so it can only get better

When you reach out
And you say to me:
"how i love you girl"
When i hold you
Baby can't you see
That's a real dream world?

You had your hopes and your high expectations
Somehow it doesn't seem right
I'm getting fed up with your accusations
I'm not your angel in white

Dream world
You've been living in a dream world
Trust me
You just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world
Here i am, there you are, we're gonna make it together
And we made it so far, so it can only get better

When you reach out
And you say to me:
"how i love you girl"
When i hold you
Baby can't you see
That's a real dream world?

Dream world
You've been living in a dream world
Trust me
You just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world
Here i am, there you are, we're gonna make it together
And we made it so far, so it can only get better

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And i have to sit down for a while
The feeling that i'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever i can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do i really see what's in her mind
Each time i think i'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, i let precious time go by
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt i can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places i had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why i just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do i really see what's in her mind
Each time i think i'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes i wish that i could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...

People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what i mean

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous.........

I know what you think
"the girl means business so i'll offer her a drink"
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what i mean

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous

And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what i mean

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets

Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
I can still say voulez-vous

Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
I can still say voulez-vous

I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase
So now we'll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing i can do

Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
(see it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely
(answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But i know i don't possess you
So go away, god bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

I've watched you look away
Tell me is it really so hard to say?
Oh, this has been my longest day
Sitting here close to you
Knowing that maybe tonight we're through

Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
(see it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely
(answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But i know i don't possess you
So go away, god bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes i know i don't possess you
So go away, god bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine?
Where did it go?
I just don't know
But still my love for you will live forever

Hasta ma

You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but i can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something i couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child

Well i can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And i can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe i'm not the one
Now you're so cute, i like your style
And i know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child

Well i can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And i can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

Well i can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And i can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

You hate, you scream, you swear
And still you never reach him
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach him
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine

Elaine, elaine, elaine
You know they're gonna get you
You try to break away
But they will never let you
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, elaine, elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul

You come, you stay, you go
It really doesn't matter
You've done it all before
By now they'll know the pattern
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, elaine, elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
Now that you're gone, you know they're gonna get you
Now that you're gone, you know they'll never let you

It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, elaine, elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
Now that you're gone, you know they're gonna get you
Now that you're gone, you know they'll never let you

You think you're gonna make me sulk, you and your fancy car, ah-ha-ha
But i can tell you honey your tricks ain't gonna get you far, ah-ha-ha
They say that money's got a magic touch
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Chasing, dazing, driving me crazy
But i'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today, ah-ha-ha
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, i gave them all away, ah-ha-ha
The girls might fall for everything you've got
But i'm not one of them, you know i'm not
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Chasing, dazing, driving me crazy
But i'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long

I'd give anything to be back home in santa rosa
How i wish this road would take me home where i belong

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

Chorus
Merry-go-round
Where am i bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me amd 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

Repeat chorus (2)

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself i sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can i go on here without you?

Yes i'm down and feeling blue
And i don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, i stare at the phone on the wall
And i sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone
Hey did i do something wrong?
I just can't believe that i could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, i stare at the phone on the wall
And i sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Are you sure you wanna hear more
What if i ain't worth the while
Not the style you'd be looking for
If i'm sweet tonight
Things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and i'm proud
If you hurt my feelings i'll cry out loud
I'm carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

Are you sure you wanna hear more
Would i be the one you seek
Mild and meek like the girl next door
Don't you realise
I may be an angel in disguise
It's lonely to be free
But i'm not a man's toy, i'll never be
I'm carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

I don't believe in fairy-tales
Sweet nothings in my ear
But i do believe in sympathy
That's me, you see

Are you sure you wanna hear more
Won't you have a drink with me
Just to see you're not really sore
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

There's a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
If i keep on searching, but until then
I'm carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do

Oh, i've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now i just made it, i found you at last

So come on, now let's try it, i love you, can't deny it
'cos it's true
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it, but just wait and see

So come on, now let's try it, i love you, can't deny it
'cos it's true
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do
So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do

Oh, my love it makes me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

Baby, give me one more
Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance, it's our way to say goodbye

Yes, all we have to do is
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye

Yet it seems to make me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

Baby, give me one last
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night i met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know i won't forget you
Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away
You tell me it's over, what more can i say?
So dance while the music still goes on
It's gonna be our last goodbye

Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye

Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night i met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know i won't forget you

I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So i can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight

How i remember the first time we went to the movies
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And i waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight

And i feel so good
And i feel so right
And i know that you must have a lovelight
You've got lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I don't want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night

Early this morning i drove in the rain
Out to the airport to get on the plane
Hey honololu, we're going to happy hawaii
Alice has been there, she said it was fun
Swimming and surfing, enjoying the sun
Hey honololu, we're going to happy hawaii

After all i've had to go through
I'm making no plans (making no plans oh-ooh)
But i, but i believe love gives me a second chance

Guess i've been working a little too hard
Need a vacation, i'll send you a card
From honololu, a greeting from happy hawaii

It's so exciting, why should i pretend
In a few hours the plane will descend
Hey honololu, we're going to happy hawaii
I can imagine the beach and the sand
Walking with someone and holding his hand
Hey honololu, we're going to happy hawaii

After all i've had to go through
I'm making no plans (making no plans oh-ooh)
But i, but i believe love gives me a second chance, mmm

I've got a feeling the dream will come true
Somebody's waiting and i'll forget you
Hey honololu, we're going to happy hawaii

Half past twelve
And i'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How i hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as i look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
It's so different from the world i'm living in
Tired of t.v.
I open the window and i gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

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
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How i hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, i'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now i see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and i know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and i know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

You and i can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh i don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do

(repeat)

We can face it together
The way old friends do

Day is dawning and i must go
You're asleep but still i'm sure you'll know
Why it had to end this way
You and i had a groovy time
But i told you somewhere down the line
You would have to find me gone
I just have to move along

Just another town, another train
Waiting in the morning rain
Look in my restless soul, a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations

When you wake i know you'll cry
And the words i wrote to say goodbye
They won't comfort you at all
But in time you will understand
That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand
For a no-good bum like me
To live is to be free

Just another town, another train
Waiting in the morning rain
Look in my restless soul, a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations

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 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

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
Head over heels

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

Man has always wanted a woman by his side to keep him company
Women always knew that it takes a man to get matrimonial harmony
Everybody knows that a man who's feeling down wants some female sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love 'till eternity

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...

Flowers in the desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her man
If a man's in love and his woman wants the moon
Then he'll it down if he can
Somebody who loves you and somebody who cares
Isn't that what you'd call a friend?
Gotta have love to carry on living
You can have peace if you understand

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...

People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...

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
And if she ever leaves me what could i do, what could i do?

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the 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
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them 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
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman i see is a potential threat
And i'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all i've learned has overturned
I beg of you......

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby i was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When i don't have you near
Unsatisfied, i skip my pride
I beg you dear......

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all i've learned has overturned
What can i do......

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But i think i can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So i wanna know......

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way i do?
Tell me please, 'cause i have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What i'm trying to conceal
If i trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if i said i care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know......

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And i am never invited
Now i am here, talking to you
No wonder i get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So i wanna know......

What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(got a feeling you give me no choice)
(but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way i do?
Tell me please, 'cause i have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What i'm trying to conceal
If i trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if i said i care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know......
Oh yes i wanna know......

The name of the game
(i was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(but i think i can see in your face)
(that it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way i do?
(got a feeling you give me no choice)
(but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(i was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(but i think i can see in your face)
(that it means a lot)

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
By courting so slow

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me i must take him seriously
Rambling on the usual way
He's such a clever guy
Then i wonder, should i laugh or cry?

He's dressed in the striped pyjamas that i bought
Trousers too short
Gives me all his small philosophies
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
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
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?

Strange how dangerously indifferent i have grown
Cold as a stone
No 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
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
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?

If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(that's all i ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'cos you know i've got
So much that i wanna do, when i dream i'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But i think you know
That i can't let go

If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, i'm in no hurry, know i'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, i ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that i waste my time but i can't get you off my mind
No i can't let go
'cos i love you so

If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me

Nu gå den långsammare än förut.
Nej. 1-2-3-4.
Det är bra så.
1-2. går bandet?
Här är det magnetband som rullar och rullar!!!
Upptakten kan du fixa på nåt annat va? nåt jättemalle.
1-2.
Du kan dra ner pianot tror jag för det är väldigt vasst i öronen.
Vasst.
Vasst.
Väldigt miserabel lyssning.
Nu hör jag bara frida i mina lurar!
Och jag hör bara dej!
Det är inget. det var inget. bättre lyssning.
Hörru-hör-du-mej-nu-ra??!!
Ja, det är så neråt tror jag.
Ja-ja!
Hör du mig?!

Det är inte bra alltså.
Men det är upp till dig.
Det måste väl du förstå vad som är fel.
Tuuuure! jag sjunker!!
Nä, just det.
Sjunker 'u?!
Jaaaa...


Baby
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
Just a notion - that's all
Just a feeling that you're watching me
Aah, every move i'm making
Am i reading your mind
'cause it's almost like your touching me
Aah, there is no mistaking

Just a notion
That you'll be walking up to me in a while
And you smile and say: "hello" and
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
And tonight is very special
It's the night for me and you

är det bra?
Det tycker jag vi kan ha va?
Det är lite ovanligt så där också?
Ja, det är det va. i alla fall nuförtiden.
Javisst!
Alla...60 miljoner skivor ska brytas!

En, två, en, två , tre

Burning my bridges
And you hoo 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, walking out that door

Burning my bridges, cuttin' my tie
Once again oughta look into the eye
Being myself, having my pride
No one, baby, is gonna take me for a ride

Burning my bridges, moving at last
Girl i'm leaving and i'm burying the past
Wanna have peace now, we can be free
No one here will make a sucker out of me

Han har "sjunk't."
Vad sägs?
Kalle skändare kan hända
Första plus...har du första eller andra plus?

Fernando
Varför sörjer du, fernando
Varför klingar din gitarr i moll
Vad är det som står på
är det kärleken, fernando
Har hon lämnet dej din stora, stora kärlek är det så
Den som älskat och förlorat
Vet att sånt kan ändå hända då och då

Länge, länge leve kärleken
Vår bästa vän, fernando
Fyll ditt glas och höj en skål för den
För kärleken, fernando
Spela, spela melodien och sjung
Sången om lyckan
Länge, länge leve kärleken
Den kärleken, fernando

Det där funkar ju jättebra.
Javisst det är ganska ballt så där också
Javisst är det det

Here comes rubie jamie
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
There's only me who is dying to see ...

Hamlet iii part 1
(instrumental)

Hamlet iii part 2
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 fear my heart will break
Guess it all was my mistake
Autumn's chilling 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

Det räcker där
Ja
Nu hör jag alltså väldigt lite frida!

Free as a bumble bee
I'm down
And i feel depressed
Sitting here
Just waiting
For next bus traveling
Down town
It's a cry and a shame
Isn't it
A beautiful weather?
If i could have my way
Well, i would not be working
On a day like this
I know what i like to be

As free
As a bumble bee
Take a zip of
Every flower
Free
As a bumble bee
What a way
Each lazy hour

What a good life
Lying laid back
Like an old railroad bum by the track
What a good life
Living outdoors
Lie in the grass and chew on a straw

Rubber ball man
A 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 never get a chance to know you
Still you're close as can be

Make the band stand
To a dream land, rubber ball man
Clapping your hands
And your feet dance, rubber ball man
When you're jumping up and down, nobody's standing still
Some of us screaming
Some of us dreaming
Look at your fans
How we love you, rubber ball man

Look at your fans
How we love you, rubber ball man
Look at your fans
How we love you, rubber ball man

Crying over you
I'm waiting 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 crying over you

I'm waiting 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 crying over you

Crying over you
I'm crying over you
Crying over
Little memories
Of things we used to do
Oh, lord i'm blue
I'm crying over you

Oh, lord i'm blue
I'm crying over you

Oh, lord i'm blue
I'm crying over you

Härligt!

Just like that
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

Då kör vi då
Går bandet?
Givin' a little bit more
There's a gentleness to everything you do
And it's rubbing off on me, i feel it too
I'm a victim of my loneliness, i guess
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

And 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

Thank you for the music
(instrumental)

Ok. den tar vi va?
