Soy rebelde - Jeanette (1971) live (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

Yo soy rebelde porque el mundo me ha hecho así
Porque nadie me ha tratado con amor
Porque nadie me ha querido nunca oir
Yo soy rebelde porque siempre sin razón
Me negaron todo aquello que pedí
Y me dieron solamente incomprensión
Y quisiera ser como el niño aquel
Como el hombre aquel que es feliz
Y quisiera dar lo que hay en mí
Todo a cambio de una amistad
Y soñar y vivir
y olvidar el rencor
y cantar y reir
y sentir sólo amor
Yo soy rebelde porque el mundo me ha hecho así
Porque nadie me ha tratado con amor
Porque nadie me ha querido nunca oir
Y quisiera ser como el niño aquel
Como el hombre aquel que es feliz
Y quisiera dar lo que hay en mí
Todo a cambio de una amistad
Y soñar y vivir
y olvidar el rencor
y cantar y reir
y sentir sólo amor
lalalalalala...
lalalalalala...
lalalalalala...

Ma baker - Boney M (1976) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)


"Spoken :
FREEZE ! I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in the air,
gimme all your money

- This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat
from ol' Chicago town

She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really moved them down
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

She was the meanest cat
Oh she was really tough
She left her husband flat
He wasn't tough enough
She took her boys along
'cos they were mean and strong

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

They left a trail of crime
Across the U.S.A.
And when one boy was killed
She really made them pay
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

she met a man she liked
she thought she'd stay with him
one day he formed with them
they did away with him
she didn't care at all
just didn't care at all

spoken :
- Here is a special bulletin.
Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman.
Her photo is hanging on every post office wall.
If you have any information about this woman,
please contact the nearest police station...

- Don't anybody move ! The money or your lives !

One day they robbed a bank
it was their last foray
the cops appeared too soon
they couldn't get away
and all the loot they had
it made them mighty mad
and so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
they didn't want to hang
they died with blazing guns
and so the story ends
of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

No more troubles - Sharif Dean (1973) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

No more troubles, ah ah ah
I am free anyhow
l forget my sorrows
my way leaves to the sky
No more troubles, ah ah ah
The wide world is mine
I'm looking for the glow
White shinning from my star
Flying where the wind
Blow my memories away
Moving on again
Trying to find you someday
No more troubles...my star
Going out to search
The sea of honey and wine
Maybe I'll fail
But I need friends down the line
No more troubles...my star
No more troubles, ah ah ah
I don't want to strike
I'm looking for the rainbow
What's carrying my light

Runaway - Dave (1974) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

As I walk along, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young


I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why
Why why why why why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
Run run run run runaway

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
I wonder
I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why
Why why why why why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
Run run run run runaway


Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree - Tony Orlando & Dawn (1973) live (with lyrics)

Live on 12, 25th 1973



(Lyrics)

I'm coming home. I've done my time.
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me,
If you still want me,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me,
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Bus driver, please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.
I'm really still in prison, and my love, she holds the key.
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.
I wrote and told her please,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me,
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Now the whole damn bus is cheering,
And I can't believe I see,
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.
I'm coming home, mm-hmm.
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree...)

Knock three times - Tony Orlando & Dawn (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

Hey, girl, whatcha doin' down there?
Dancin' alone every night
While I live right above you?
I can hear your music playing.
I can feel your body swaying.
One floor below me,
You don't even know me,
I love you.
Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Mmm-hmm, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me
In the hallway.
Ohh, ohh, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show.
If you look out your window tonight,
Pulling the string with the note that's
Attached to my heart.
Read how many times I saw you.
How in my silence, I adore you.
And only in my dreams, did that wall
Between us come apart.
Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Mm-hmm, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me
In the hallway.
Ohh, ohh, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show.
Whoa, I can hear the music playing.
I can feel your body swaying.
One floor below me,
You don't even know me,
I love you.
Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Ohh, ohh, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me
In the hallway.
Mmm-hmm, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show.

Dawn featuring Tony Orlando
Origin New York City, New York, U.S.



(Lyrics)

The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I ?
Just an ordinary guy
Tryin' hard to win me first prize
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams
The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I ... in a house, Baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams



It's a heartache - Bonnie Tyler (live) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he'll let you down
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
Its a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care, for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on, you
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain

Rose garden - Lynn Anderson (1970) (with lyrics)

Recorded on September 10th 1970. Columbia Recording Studio, 804 16th Ave. South, Nashville, TN


(Lyrics)

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime

When you take you gotta give
So live and let live and let go ohoh oh oh
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over

Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be somelancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know

You'd better look before you leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be somelancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.....

Down by the river - Albert Hammond (1975) live (with lyrics)

Albert Hammond (born 18 May 1944, London, England) is a Gibraltarian-British singer, songwriter and music producer. 

Down by the river was recorded in 1972.


(Lyrics)

City life was gettin' us down
So we spent a weekend out of town
Pitched our tent on a patch of ground
Down by the river
Lit a fire and drank some wine
You put your jeans on top of mine
I said "come in, the water's fine"
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
I said "come in, the water's fine"
Down by the river

Didn't feel to good all night
So we took a walk in the morning light
And came across the strangest sight
Down by the river
Silver fish lay on its side
It was washed up by the early tide
I wonder how it died
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
Silver fish lay on its side
Down by the river

Doctor put us both to bed
He dosed us up and he shook his head
"Only foolish people go", he said
"Down by the river."
"Why do willows weep", said he
"Because they're dying gradually
From the waste from the factories
Down by the river."

Down by the river
Down by the river
"Why do willows weep", said he
"Down by the river."

And in time the riverbanks will die
The reeds will wilt, and the ducks won't fly
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye
Down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
And where the otter raised its head
Will be a clean, white skull instead
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
Down by the river

It never rains in southern California - Albert Hammond (1975) live (with lyrics)

It never rains in southern California was recorded in 1972.

(Lyrics)

Got on board a westbound seven-forty-seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

(Instrumental)
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please, don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, mama, give me a break
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Changes - Black Sabbath (1972) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

I feel unhappy, I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend, that I ever had
She was my woman, I love her so
But it's too late now, I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years, we shared each day
In love together, we found a way
But soon the world, had its evil way
My heart was blinded, love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long, to realize
And I can still hear her last goodbyes
Now all my days, are filled with tears
Wish I could go back, and change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

(Lyrics)

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 a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come 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. Oh Yeah!
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 them 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 Oh Yeah!
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen...

S.O.S. (lyrics)
Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you
But you have closed your mind

Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me
S. O. S.

The love you gave me
Nothing 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 alive
But 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 me, darling
Can't you hear me
S. O. S.

The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
S. O. S.

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?

Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you're near me
Darling can't you hear me

And the love you gave me
Nothing 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?

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

Andante andante - ABBA (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

Take it easy with me, please
Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze
Take your time, make it slow
Andante, Andante
Just let the feeling grow
Make your fingers soft and light
Let your body be the velvet of the night
Touch my soul, you know how
Andante, Andante
Go slowly with me now
I'm your music
(I am your music and I am your song)
I'm your song
(I am your music and I am your song)
Play me time and time again and make me strong
(Play me again 'cause you're making me strong)
Make me sing, make me sound
(You make me sing and you make me...)
Andante, Andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down
There's a shimmer in your eyes
Like the feeling of a thousand butterflies
Please don't talk, go on, play
Andante, Andante
And let me float away
I'm your music
(I am your music and I am your song)
I'm your song
(I am your music and I am your song)
Play me time and time again and make me strong
(Play me again 'cause you're making me strong)
Make me sing, make me sound
(You make me sing and you make me...)
Andante, Andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down
Make me sing, make me sound

Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down...

The winner takes it all - ABBA (1980) live (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

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 a 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 apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...
So the winner...
Takes it all...
And the loser ...
Has to fall ...
Falling down ...
Cold as ice ...
May not be ...
Someone weak...
Takes it all...
Has to fall ...
Yes it's rain....
Why complain...

Fernando - ABBA (1976) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the RioGrande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

Chiquitita - ABBA (1979) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

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

I have a dream - ABBA (live) (subtitled) with lyrics






(Lyrics)

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

Knowing me, knowing you - ABBA (1976) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

S.O.S. - ABBA (1975) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me
Nothing 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 alive
But 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 me, darling
Can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me
Nothing 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?
So when you're near me
Darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me
Nothing 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?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

Super trouper - ABBA (1981) live in Stockholm, Sweden (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

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
(Super Trouper)
Smiling, having fun
(Super Trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Super Trouper)
Like I always do
(Super Trouper)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
(Still I'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
(Think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(You'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Super Trouper)
Smiling, having fun
(Super Trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Super Trouper)
Like I always do
(Super Trouper)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Super Trouper)
Smiling, having fun
(Super Trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Super Trouper)
Like I always do
(Super Trouper)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Voulez vous - ABBA (1979) live in Spain (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

People everywhere
A sense of expectation hangin' in the air
Givin' out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowin' 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
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we get
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
I know what you think
The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink
Lookin' mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushin' 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
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we get
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
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
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we get
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we get
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous

Take a chance on me - ABBA (1977) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

If you change your mind
(Take a chance, take a chance)
I'm the first in line
(Take take, chance chance)
Honey I'm still free
(Take a chance, take a chance)
Take a chance on me
(Take take, chance chance)
If you need me, let me know
(Take a chance, take a chance)
Gonna be around
(Take take, chance chance)
If you got no place to go
(Take a chance, take a chance)
When you're feeling down
(Take take, chance chance)
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
(Ooh)
We can go walking
(Yeeah)
As long as we're together
(Together)
Listen to some music
(Ooh)
Maybe just talking
(Yeeah)
Get to know you better
(Better)
'Cause 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
(Ooh)
I'm in no hurry
(Yeeah)
Know I'm gonna get you
(Get you)
You don't wanna hurt me
(Ooh)
Baby don't worry
(Yeeah)
I ain't gonna let you
(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
'Cause 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)
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)
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
