Under Attack
Abba
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

(chorus)
Under Attack
I m being takenabout to crack
defences breaking
won t nobody please have a heart
come and rescue me now
cos I m falling apart

Under Attack
I m taking cover
he s 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 flattered I suppose)

Yes I m kind of flattered but
I m scared as well
something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what
would happen
where I d be if I fell

The Winner Takes It All
Abba
I DON?T WANNA TALK
ABOUT THE THINGS WE?VE GONE THROUGH
THOUGH IT?S HURTING ME
NOW IT?S HISTORY
I?VE PLAYED ALL MY CARDS
AND THAT?S WHAT YOU?VE DONE TOO
NOTHING MORE TO SAY
NO MORE ACE TO PLAY

THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
THE LOSER STANDING SMALL
BESIDE THE VICTORY
THAT?S HER DESTINY

I WAS IN YOUR ARMS
THINKING I BELONGED THERE
I FIGURED IT MADE SENSE
BUILDING ME A FENCE
BUILDING ME A HOME
THINKING I?D BE STRONG THERE
BUT I WAS A FOOL
PLAYING BY THE RULES

THE GODS MAY THROW A DICE
THEIR MINDS AS COLD AS ICE
AND SOMEONE WAY DOWN HERE
LOSES SOMEONE DEAR
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
THE LOSER HAS TO FALL
IT?S SIMPLE AND IT?S PLAIN
WHY SHOULD I COMPLAIN

BUT TELL ME DOES SHE KISS
LIKE I USED TO KISS YOU
DOES IT FEEL THE SAME
WHEN SHE CALLS YOUR NAME
SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE
YOU MUST KNOW I MISS YOU
BUT WHAT CAN I SAY
RULES MUST BE OBEYED

THE JUDGES WILL DECIDE
THE LIKES OF ME ABIDE
SPECTATORS OF THE SHOW
ALWAYS STAYING LOW
THE GAME IS ON AGAIN
A LOVER OR A FRIEND
A BIG THING OR A SMALL
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL

I DON?T WANNA TALK
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL SAD
AND I UNDERSTAND
YOU?VE COME TO SHAKE MY HAND
I APOLOGISE
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD
SEEING ME SO TENSE
NO SELF-CONFIDENCE
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL

The Way Old Friends Do
Abba
YOU AND I CAN SHARE
THE SILENCE
FINDING COMFORT TOGETHER
THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO
AND AFTER FIGHTS
AND WORLDS 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

TIMES OF JOY…

The Piper
Abba
THEY CAME FROM THE HILLS
AND THEY CAME FROM
THE VALLEYS AND THE PLAINS
THEY STRUGGLED IN THE COLD
IN THE HEAT AND THE SNOW
AND IN THE RAIN
CAME TO HEAR HIM PLAY
PLAY THEIR MINDS AWAY

WE?RE ALL FOLLOWING
A STRANGE MELODY
WE?RE ALL SUMMONED BY A TUNE
WE?RE FOLLOWING THE PIPER
AND WE DANCE BENEATH THE MOON
WE?RE FOLLOWING THE PIPER
AND WE DANCE BENEATH THE MOON FOR HIM
AND WE DANCE BENEATH THE MOON

THEY CAME FROM THE SOUTH
FROM THE WEST AND THE NORTH
AND FROM THE EAST
THEY WAITED FOR THE MAN
LIKE A PARISH IS WAITING FOR THE PRIEST
LONGED TO HEAR HIM PLAY
PLAY THEIR MINDS AWAY

WE?RE ALL FOLLOWING…

HE GAVE THEM A DREAM
HE SEDUCED EVERYBODY IN THE LAND
THE FIRE IN HIS EYES
AND THE FEAR WAS A WEAPON IN HIS HAND
SO THEY LET HIM PLAY
PLAY THEIR MINDS AWAY

WE?RE ALL FOLLOWING…

The Name Of The Game
Abba
I ve seen you twicein a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to mefor 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 childbeginning 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 youwould you let me down?
Would you laugh at meif I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know……

The name of the game

I have no friendsno-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am heretalking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smileand the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feelingyou 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 childbeginning 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 youwould you let me down?
Would you laugh at meif 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

(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot)

The Day Before You Came
Abba
I must have left my house at eightbecause I always do
My trainI m certainleft the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorialno doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be readand heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual placethe 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 anythingI hid a part of me away
At five I must have leftthere s no exception to the rule
A matter of routineI ve done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yesI m sure my life was well within it s usual frame
The day before you came

I 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 notI thinka 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 sleepand 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 funnybut 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

Thank You For The Music
Abba
I m nothing specialin fact I m a bit of a bore
If I tell a jokeyou ve probably heard it before
But I have a talenta wonderful thing
Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the musicthe songs I m singing
Thanks for all the joy they re bringing
Who can live without itI ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I ve often wonderedhow did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Wellwhoever it wasI m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the musicthe songs I m singing
Thanks for all the joy they re bringing
Who can live without itI ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I ve been so luckyI am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joywhat a lifewhat a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the musicthe songs I m singing
Thanks for all the joy they re bringing
Who can live without itI ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Super Trouper
Abba
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)

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

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

S.O.S.
Abba
Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for youbut you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so niceit used to be so good

So when you re near meDarlingcan t you hear me?
S. O. S.
The love you gave menothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alivebut something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love?
It used to be so good

So when you re near meDarlingcan t you hear me?
S. O. S.
The love you gave menothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

Outta Your Head
Abba
All the way back in history
how the girl thinks is a mystery
spent our lives cruising the bars
venus girls and the men from mars
So in all this time did you ever think do the girls sees red
when a man sees pink
and your best lovin is in the past and cause somewhere slow is nowhere fast

Your Outta your head
so out of your head
stay out of your head…
your out of your head
so out of your head

bricka bracka firecracker sis boom bah
here comes trouble in a push up bra
his style is sharp as a coffin tack
but out of your box your way off track
your a mile away on a mental binge
your catasphrophe is of a lunatic fringe
your still put together its tit for tat
you say its all good but its more than that

Your Outta your head
so out of your head
stay out of your head………
No out of your head
so out of your head
stay out of your head

So in all this time did you ever think think think think
Your Outta your head
so out of your head
stay out of your head………
No out of your head
so out of your head
stay out of your head
