1. _ Just Like That:
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising forces
My strongholds broke down all too easily
I remember well
How it did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
Chorus
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 led him on
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again, the river's flowing slowly
Following the same and uneventful course
Now the tears have dried
It's become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And i will admit
He had something that i miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one i've known
Repeat chorus

2. _ Cassandra
Down in the street they're 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 nd 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 would
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 didn't 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
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 you're 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 would
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 didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched her 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 would
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 didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

3. _ Merry Go Round
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1972
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
Merry go round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry go round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and 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 when 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
Merry go round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry go round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and 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 when my loving
Goes round and round
Merry go round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry go round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and 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 when my loving
Goes round and round

You can do something i can't
So don't stop doing it
Don't stop doing it

5. _ I Am The City
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
And you feel a strange attraction
The air is vibrant and electrified
Welcome to me here I am my arms are open wide
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot
Come make your own contribution to this melting pot
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The air that you're breathing is me
Yes I am the city you let me be
People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The parks and the squares that you see
All the sounds that you hear
And the air that you're breathing is me
Yes I am the city you let me be
I am the city
You let me be
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The air that you're breathing is me
'(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)'
Coming through a cloud
You're looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city
Yes I am the city you let me be
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
You let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city
Yes I am the city you let me be
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
You let me be

6. _ You Owe Me One
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1982
Now there's a shadow falling over our faces
Doubt forever in our hearts
And in a while we'll start to pick up the traces
We won't find the missing parts
Buy me a ticket I'll go to the Bahamas
I need a rest from our petty little dramas
Yes I really do
Aha um hum
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun
Baby you owe me one
Aha um hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun
Baby you owe me one
I wasn't ready for this kind of intrusion
I was taken by surprise
Now both of us are in a state of confusion
Hesitation in our eyes
Something unwanted has entered our existence
I think it's better to view it from a distance
Yes I really do
Aha um hum
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun
Baby you owe me one
Aha um hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun
Baby you owe me one

7. _ Elaine
You hate
You scream
You swear
And still you never reach them
You curse
You try to scare
But you can never teach them
It's a dead-end street
They've tied your hands
And tied 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've tied your hands
And tied your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
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 know the pattern
It's a dead-end street
They've tied your hands
And tied your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine

8. _ Lovelight
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

9. _ Santa Rosa
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1972
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish this road would take me home where I belong
'Cause I have found no other place where I will stay
I'm tired and broke, my dreams have failed along the way
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Though I wonder what my folks would think about me
now
I guess I've changed, like people do, when things go
wrong
But in the end, somehow I know, we'll get along
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish to see the old house where I used to live
And all my friends, will they be there, when I come
home
How I regret the day when I set out to roam
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa

10. _ Crazy World
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1976
I was out for the morning sun
Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd take a walk
I was thinking of you and me
And I went to your house 'cos 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've never had before
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl?
And I realise
It's a crazy world
As he disappeared in his car
I was stunned and I didn't know what to do
Everything I had ever been
Everything in my life's a part of you
And I just couldn't move my feet
So I stood on the pavement as you came out
You acted as you didn't know
What it was all about
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl?
And I realise
It's a crazy world
Baby how could you do it
You just told me lies
Had you been 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,
There's a couple of men in my life,
And one of them is my brother Joe.
He's been gone for a long long time
But he's back and I think he's gonna stay,
You'll be seeing a lot of him
He's so nice in every way.'
And I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
And I realise
It's a crazy world
So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realise
It's a crazy world

11. _ Put On Your White Sombrero
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994
Put on your white sombrero
Saddle your horse my dear
And ride off into the sunset
You'd better go
For there is no
Place for you here
Like and old fashioned hero
You stand before me
You think our life is a movie
My world is real
I live and feel
And I can do without you
Put on your white sombrero
Your red bandana too
Think of this day as a showdown
Goodbye my friend
This is the end
For me and you
Now be a bold vacquero
Don't show your feelings
I'll cry while you're disappearing
Into the night
All dressed in white
Unchained and free without me
Put on your white sombrero
Like all the cowboys do
Go find a sweet senorita
Somebody meek
Who'll never speak
Harshly to you
You're such a cavaliero
Proud, never bending
I want someone who will take me
Just as I am
I need a man
Who is in rhyme
With his time
You'll never take me
Just as I am
I need a man
Who is in rhyme
With his time

12. _ Dream World
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1994
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've gotta make it together
And we've 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
It'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 gotta make it together
And we've 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
It'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 gotta make it together
And we've made, it so far, so it can only get better

13. _ Should I Laugh Or Cry
(Benny Andersson / Bjorn Ulvaeus)
He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
He's such a clever guy
Then I wonder Should I Laugh Or Cry
He's dressed in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives me all his small philosophy
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
I don't mind if 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?

14. _ Happy Hawaii
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

15. _ Burning My Bridges
Well, you hoot 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 - walkin' out that door
Burning my bridges, cutting my tie
Once again i wanna look into the eye
Being myself
Counting my pride
No un-right neighbour's gonna take me for a ride
Burning my bridges
Moving at last
Girl i'm leaving and i'm burying the past
Gonna have peace now
You can be free
No one here will make a sucker out of me

16. _ Free As A Bumble Bee
I'm down and i feel depressed
Sitting here just waiting
For next bus travelling
Downtown
It's a crying shame
Isn't it
The beautiful weather
If i could have my way
Well, i would not be working
On a day like this i know what i'd like to be
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from
Every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away 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

17. _ Summer Night City
Summer night city...
Summer night city...
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
Aa-ahhh
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
It's elusive, call it glitter
Somehow, something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city

18. _ Under Attack
Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so
(You know that I'm nobody's fool)
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby and I think I must be
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how
This is getting crazy, I should tell him so
Really let my anger show
Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a definite NO!
(I'm kind of certain that's the truth)
Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well
Something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where I'd be if I fell
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how

19. _ 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've been waiting but my loneliness i get
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
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

20. _ The Day Before You Came
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

21. _ Hej Gamle Man
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
First release 1970
Han står p? torget varje dag
En vänlig gammal man
Hans hår är lite grånat
Under mössans röda band
Med blanka knappor i sin rock
Och bössan i sin hand
Han vet nog ganska väl
Vad vi vill fråga om ibland
Hej gamle man
Kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska g?
För at f? komma dit som vi vill n?
Hej gamle man
Kanske är det vi som gör något fel änd?
Du har ju allt som vi har svårt att f?
Han verkar kanske trött ibland
Vem skulle väl r? med
Att lysa upp en väg för någon
Som aldrig kunnat se
Men trots att han har stott där nu
I alla dessa år
S? verkar det p? honom som har kommit dit igår
Hej gamle man
Kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska g?
För at f? komma dit som vi vill n?
Hej gamle man
Kanske är det vi som gör något fel änd?
Du har ju allt som vi har svårt att f?
