1.Summer Night City
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
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 a 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
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 breath and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a 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 a park
Summer night city
2.Angel Eyes
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, aah
Last night
I was takin' a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought
Maybe I should walk right up to her and say (aha-ha)
It's a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh, no no no no
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, aah
Sometimes
When I'm lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time
When I see him will it bring back all the pain？ (aha-ha)
How can I forget that name
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Crazy 'bout his angel eyes
Angel eyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh, no no no no
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking I've had to pay the price
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking I've had to pay the price
3.The Day Before You Came
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
I 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 its 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 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
4.Eagle
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
They came flying from far away
Now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land
And they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high
I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk all night
And we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel
We climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real？
Is it true I'm an eagle？
Is it true I can spread my wings？
Flying high, high (I can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high (I can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

Written：B.Andersson／S.Anderson／B.Ulvaus
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've just made it
I found you at last
So come on
Now let's try it
I love you
Can't deny it
'Cause 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

Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
You think you're gonna make me soft with your fancy car
But I can tell you all of your tricks ain't gonna get you far
They say that money's got a magic touch
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much

You know I'm not
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right
So long (ooh, hon-hon)
See you honey (ooh, hon-honey)

Crazy World
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvs)
I was out with 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 'cause I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
When I saw this guy closing you're front door
Had a feeling of emptiness
Like I've never had before
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl？
Then 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 dreamed
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？
Then I realise
It's a crazy world
Baby how could you do it？
You just told me lies
And you meet 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
Then I realise
It's a crazy world
So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realise
It's a crazy world

On Top Of Old Smokey
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
Midnight Special
Well, you wake up in the morning
Hear the ding-dong ring
You go marching to the table
See the same old thing
See the fork on the table
Nothing in your pan
If you sing a thing about it
You're in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me
If you ever go to Houston
Well, you better act right
And you better not gamble
And you better not fight
For the sheriff will arrest you
Then he'll take you down
And before you understand it
You are prison bound
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine it's ever loving light on me
On me, on me
7.Honey Honey
Written：B.Andersson／S.Anderson／B.Ulvaus
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss good night
The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing
I don't wanna hurt you baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me baby, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me baby, a-ha, honey honey
You look like a movie star (look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are (I wonder just who you are)
And honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast
So stay on the ground girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before (I'd heard about you before)
I wanted to know some more (I wanted to know you some more)
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine Oh, you
make me dizzy

8.The Visitors(Crackin' Up)
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
I hear the door-bell ring and
Suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move, I'm standing
Numb and frozen
Among the things I love so dearly
The books, the paintings and the furniture
Help me
The signal's sounding once again
And someone tries the door-knob
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
And they don't dare to come here
Anymore now
But how I loved our secret meetings
We talked and talked in quiet voices
Smiling
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming
Through the door I feel I'm
Crackin' up
Voices growing louder
Irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Crackin' up
They must know by now I'm
In here trembling in a
Terror evergrowing
Crackin' up
My whole world is falling
Going crazy there is
No escaping now I'm
Crackin' up
These walls have witnessed all the
Anguish of humiliation
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
And now they've come to take me
Come to break me
And yet it isn't unexpected
I have been waiting for these visitors
Help me
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming
Through the door I feel I'm
Crackin' up
Voices growing louder
Irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Crackin' up
They must know by now I'm
In here trembling in a
Terror evergrowing
Crackin' up
My whole world is falling
Going crazy there is
No escaping now I'm
Crackin' up
I have been waiting for these visitors
9.Our Last Summer
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe,And you
You talk of politics, philosophy
And I
Smile like Mona Lisa
We had our chance
It was a fine and true romance
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh, yes
Those crazy years
That was the time of the flower-power
But underneath
We had a fear of flying
Of getting old
A fear of slowly dying
We took the chance
Like we were dancing our last dance
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam
Round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play
And now you're working in a bank
The family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet, you're the hero of my dreams
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam
Round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play
10.On And On And On
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
I was at a party and this feller said to me
Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights
I said who are you to talk about impending doom？
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, I'm a minister, a big shot in the state
I said, I just can't believe it, boy, I think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong？
He said, keep on rocking baby, 'till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, 'who am I and who are you and who are we？'
'What's our situation, do we have some time for us？'
I said, 'I was not exactly waiting for the bus'
He said, 'if you're going somewhere can I come along？'
I said, 'keep on rocking baby 'till the night is gone'
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
11.Ring, Ring
Written：B.＆S.Andersson／B.Ulvaus／N.Sedaka／P.Cody
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 where 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 aching
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？
12.I Wonder(Departure)
Written：B.Andersson／S.Anderson／B.Ulvaus
This park and these houses
Old streets I have walked
Everything dear
Will it be here
One day when I am returning？
My friends will get married
Have children and homes
It sounds so nice
Well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises
I wonder
It's frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing？
I wonder
It scares me
But who the hell am I
If I don't even try？
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take t
It can't go wrong
My friends and my family
This dull little town
Buses I've missed
Boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar
I wonder
It's frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing？
I wonder
Oh, it scares me
But who the hell am I
If I don't even try？
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it
It can't go wrong
13.Lovelight
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
I've always hated my room
It's so gloomy and dreary
Always too 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 anywhere (love that's shining)
Maybe even when you're not there (love that's shining)
Got lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night (love that's shining)
I won't let you out of my sight (love that's shining)
I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose your
Lovelight
How I remember
The first time we went to a movie
We had decided to meet
On a 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 (love that's shining)
Maybe even when you're not there (love that's shining)
Got lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night (love that's shining)
I won't let you out of my sight (love that's shining)
I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose your
Lovelight
And I feel so good
And I feel so high
And I know that
You must have a
Lovelight
Got lovelight
And I can feel your love anywhere (love that's shining)
Maybe even when you're not there (love that's shining)
You've got
Lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night (love that's shining)
I won't let you out of my sight (love that's shining)
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose your
Lovelight
14.Head Over Heels
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
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 everyday
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 on going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles everyday
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 on going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles everyday
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
I think she's one of those who
Always likes to do whatever she feels
And she goes
Head over heels
15.When I Kissed The Teacher
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Everybody screamed
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush
He looked like a fool
Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken
By surprise (hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
Couldn't quite believe his eyes (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss
him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath
The world stood still
But then he just smiled (smiled, I wanna kiss him)
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance (oh, my I wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
Suddenly I took the chance (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
Leaning over me
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry (hug him, wanna
kiss him)
And I couldn't help it
I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day (hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (ooh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
All my sense had flown away (ooh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (ooh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him,
wanna kiss him)
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath
The world stood still
But then he just smiled (smiled, I wanna kiss him)
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug him)
16.I Am The City
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
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 never-ending noise
There is a pulse
A 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 of 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 hear a lot of
Tired shuffling feet
But come tonight
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 of 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 smell
And the turmoil of cars
And the people
The air that you're breathing is me
(Coming through a cloud
And looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation
Spreading out before your eyes)
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)
The skyline is me
And the energy
I am the city
You let me be
(Somewhere in the middle
Of the never-ending noise
There is a pulse
A steady rhythm of a heart that beats)
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)
The skyline is me
And the energy
I am the city
You let me be
17.Cassandra
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
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 (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Now the last day is dawning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Some of us wanted
But none of us would (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Listen to words of warning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra
I didn't believe (I'm sorry Cassandra)
You really had the power I'm sorry Cassandra)
I only saw it as dreams you would weave (I'm sorry Cassandra)
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
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 (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Now the last day is dawning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Some of us wanted
But none of us would (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Listen to words of warning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra
I didn't believe (I'm sorry Cassandra)
You really had the power (I'm sorry Cassandra)
I only saw it as dreams you would weave (I'm sorry Cassandra)
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 (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Now the last day is dawning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Some of us wanted
But none of us would (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Listen to words of warning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra
I didn't believe (I'm sorry Cassandra)
You really had the power (I'm sorry Cassandra)
I only saw it as dreams you would weave (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Until the final hour
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
18.Under Attack
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
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)
I'm being taken (I'm being taken)
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart？ (won't somebody have a
heart)
Come and rescue me now
'Cause I'm falling apart
Under attack (I'm taking)
I'm taking cover (I'm taking cover)
He's on my track
My chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now (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)
Guess 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
Under attack (I'm being)
I'm being taken (I'm being taken)
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart？ (won't somebody have a
heart)
Come and rescue me now
'Cause I'm falling apart
Under attack (I'm taking)
I'm taking cover (I'm taking cover)
He's on my track
My chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now (thinking nothing can stop me
now)
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how
19.When All Is Said And Done
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Here's to us
One more toast
And then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside
Both us
Can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage
You and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over
And the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame
When all is said and done
In our lives
We have walked
Some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn
But dignified
And not too old for sex
We're still striving
For the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love
And thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame
When all is said and done
It's so strange
When you're down
And lying on the floor
How you rise
Shake your head
Get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads
No desire to run
There's no hurry anymore
When all is said and done
Standing calmly at the crossroads
No desire to run
There's no hurry anymore
When all is said and done
20.The Way Old Friends Do
Lyrics：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
Music：B.Andersson／B.Ulvaus
You and I
Can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights
And words of violence
We'll 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
We can face it together
The way old friends do
