Artist: Abba
Album: Waterloo
Title: Waterloo


My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you

And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

The Winner Takes It All


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 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

The Day Before You Came

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 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 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

ABBA - Under attack

Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so
(You know that I'm nobody's fool)
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby and I think I must be

Under attack, I'm being taken
About to razbijac, defences breaking
Won't somebody 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 certain that's the truth)
Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well
Something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what would happen, where I'd be if I fell

Under attack, I'm being taken
About to razbijac, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I won't know how
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to razbijac, defences breaking
Won't somebody see and save 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


ABBA - Thank you for the music

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a 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 music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I 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 wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I 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 lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I 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

OK, OK, mislio sam da je tema samo na konto prve pesme, pa sam imao stogod da kazem o tome... Ali kad vidim da ste post-ovali jos pesmica ovog interesantnog svedskog kvarteta, moram i da ih malo pohvalim...

Osim "Waterloo"-a nemam nikakvih zamerki na njih, pesme su im vesele, sjajne, pevljive, ulaze u usi itd... Steta sto su se raspali, ali eto, takav je Show Business... Samo mi nije pravo sto su se probili u prvi plan pobedom na "Pesmi Evrovizije" sa pesmom koja je plagijat... Da, da... Moze svako od vas to da se sam uveri. Iako se o tome nije nikada pisalo, nije se pravio skandal kao sa "Lane moje", "Waterloo" je pesma koja, mozda slucajno, a mozda ne, ima potpuno istu melodiju refrena kao pesma "Build Me Up, Buttercup" od grupe Foundations, koja je izdata nekoliko godina ranije (tacnije 1969-e, dok je ABBA pobedila na "pesmi Evrovizije' 1974-te...).

CHIQUITITA

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 leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
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 tumblin' 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 leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
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

@DR

Predivna pesma, bas me sada pogadja direktno, a volela sam tu pesmu jos kao dete.

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

Mama mia


I've been cheated by you since I don't know when.
So I made up my mind it must come to an end.
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control.
There's a fire within my soul.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring,
One more look and I forget everything, oooh.

Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted.
Blue since the day we parted.
Why why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.


I've been angry and sad about the things that you do.
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through.
And when you go, when you slam the door,
I think you know that you won't be away too long,
You know that I'm not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring,
One more look and I forget everything, oooh.

Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, even if I say
bye bye, leave me now or never,
Mama mia, it's a game we play.
Bye bye doesn't mean forever.

Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, now I really know,
my my, I could never let you go.

ABBA – SOS


Where are those happy times - they seem so hard to find.
I try 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, SOS
The love you gave me, nothing less can save me, SOS

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 make me feel alive but something died, I fear.
I really tried to make it up - I wish I understood.
What happened to our love, it used to be so good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ABBA - Take A Chance On Me


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 got no place to go when you're feelin' 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 (that's all I ask of you, honey) - 1st time
(c'mon, give me a break, man) - 2nd time
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking
As long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just slow and
Get to know me 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 to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know, that I can't let go

Oh you can take your chance baby, I'm in no hurry
Ooh I'm gonna get you
You're the one that hurt me, baby don't worry
I ain't gonna let you
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
Oh I can't let go, cause I love you so

Here replace the first line with: "Pa pa pa pa pam pa pa pa pa pam."
(In other words, listen to the song)

Knowing Me, Knowing You 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
