Текст песни:

(B. Andersson/B. Ulvaeus) 1982
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 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 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 linger
You′re 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 out 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 harbor 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 out 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′m sorry Cassandra)

Текст песни:

I′m waitin′ 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 cryin′ over you
I′m waitin′ for you baby
I′m sittin′ 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 cryin′ over you

Cryin′ over you
I′m cryin′ over you
Cryin′ over
Little memories of things we used to do
Oh Lord I′m blue
I′m cryin′ over you
Oh Lord I′m blue
I′m cryin′ over you
Oh Lord I′m blue
I′m cryin′ over you

Текст песни:

So at last you’re free
It’s the way you wanted it to be
And the price you pay
To become a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry
Does it hurt when they ask for daddy

Hey hey helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen
Can you make it alone
(yes you can)

So you’re free at last
And beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad
When you think about the life you ha-ha-had
But you’re right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight to find your freedom

Hey hey helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
What’s the matter with you
Hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
Don’t you know what to do
(yes you do)
(ahah, yes you do yes you do)
(ahah, yes you do yes you do)

Hey hey helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
What’s the matter with you
Hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
Don’t you know what to do
Hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen (hey hey helen)

Текст песни:

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
Half awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind
Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

Текст песни:

Sitting in the darkest corner
In the tender light I saw her face
She was looking so sad and lonely
Someone help me, someone save me
I could see the look she gave me, oh
Oh yeah, and there was one thing only
That I knew I could do

Let′s go girl
It′s a beautiful place this world
Come on baby let′s dance
To the rock′n′roll band
Let′s go now
Let me show you that I know how
Come on baby let′s dance
To the rock′n roll band
Come on baby let′s dance
To the rock′n roll band
You′ve been sitting there for hours
Try to hide behind the flowers now
Baby, we could have fun together
Come on, cheer up, let′s get started
No use being broken-hearted now
Oh yeah, you′re gonna feel much better
Yes I know that you will

Let′s go girl
It′s a beautiful place this world
Come on baby let′s dance
To the rock′n roll band
Let′s go now
Let me show you that I know how
Come on baby let′s dance
To the rock′n roll band
Come on baby let′s dance
To the rock′n roll band

Текст песни:

Come to my loveland, wander along
Beautiful gardens full of flowers and songs
Come to the sunshine, beaches and sand
Here′s the two bluebirds, won′t you come to my land

The grass is mellow and the sky is blue
My paradise is waiting here for you

Oooh, it′s a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny
Happy and sunny
Oooh, in my tropical loveland

Come to my loveland, wander with me
Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree
Over the rainbow, under the moon
That′s where my land is, won′t you come to me soon?

Just take my hand, I′ll show you everything
The secrets that my paradise can bring

Oooh, it′s a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny
Happy and sunny
Oooh, in my tropical loveland

Oooh, it′s a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
(I wanna share it with you)
Oooh, it′s a tropical loveland
(It′s a tropical loveland)
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Oooh, it′s a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you

Текст песни:

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

Текст песни:

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

Текст песни:

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah-ah

Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help some day
We depend on one another
Love him, that’s the only way
On the road (on the road) that we’re going
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that’s the only way

I was a woman never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn’t care for anybody
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah-ah

Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
You might need his help one day (he’s your brother)
We depend on one another (brother)
Love him, that’s the only way
On the road (on the road) that we’re going (that we’re going)
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
Love him, that’s the only way.

Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
You might need his help one day (he’s your brother)
We depend on one another (brother)
Love him, that’s the only way

Текст песни:

Did you see that man in the limousine
With a pretty blond, he is fifty and the girl’s only seventeen
But she doesn’t care, and she never will
If he’s ninety-five she don’t give a damn
Just as long as he pays the bill

Did you see that man with a fat cigar
He just left his lunch with a belly full of lobster and caviar
He can choose the wine from a vintage year
He can drink champagne in his limousine
While the rest of us drink a beer

’cause he’s the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
’cause he’s the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He’s never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the devil, ’cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle (in the middle, in the middle...)

But you see that man made a big mistake
Even though he’s got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake
And the money too, all that he can spend
He can buy the most, nearly anything
But he can’t buy an honest friend

’cause he’s the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
’cause he’s the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He’s never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the devil, ’cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle (in the middle, in the middle...)

Текст песни:

The 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′ll never get a chance to know you
Still you′re close as can be

Make the bandstand to a dreamland, Rubber Ball Man
Clapping your hands, let your feet dance, Rubber Ball Man
When you′re jumping up and down, nobody′s standing still
Some of us dreaming, some of us screaming
Look at your fans, how we love you, Rubber Ball Man!

Текст песни:

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 is 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"
Feeling 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 is 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 is 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...

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

Текст песни:

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 is 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

Текст песни:

Changing, moving, in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams
Smiling, laughing, from the shadows
When I hear your voice I know what it means
I know it doesn’t matter just how hard I try
You’re all the reason for my life
Disillusion, disillusion’s all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down
You’re all I had, you’re all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have

Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows
Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd
Thinking, wondering, what you’re doing
I can stop myself from crying out loud
They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar
But then, they’d never shared our love
Disillusion, disillusion’s all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down
You’re all I had, you’re all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have
Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have

Текст песни:

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, way down in your shoes
When it’s bad, worse, worst
(and when you’re feeling so bad)
And you think you’re cursed
(and you’ve got it sad)
Well, if there’s one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

My friend sam is a chauffeur, annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends
(together again)
When I meet my friends
(I’m gonna see them now)
And we’re lookin’ round for the action we sure play it cool

It’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it’s only a lie
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they’re only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it’s bad, worse, worst
(you know you’re feeling so bad)
And you think you’re cursed
(and you’ve got it sad)
Well, if there’s one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

There’s gotta be rock’n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul

Текст песни:

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)
