Super
Trouper
The Winner Takes It All On And On And On Andante Andante Me And I Happy New Year Our Last Summer The Piper Lay All Your Love On Me The Way Old Friends Do |
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)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna
blind me
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
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...
I was at a party and this fella
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,
'til the night is gone"
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til 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,
'til the night is gone"
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
(You make me sing and you make
me...)
Andante, Andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down
Andante, Andante
Oh please don't let me down...
Sometimes when I'm mad
There's a part of me that seems
to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
There's a voice in me that says,
"You shouldn't be so mean"
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting while the
other stands beside
Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll
must have been to Hyde
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or
in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in
it
Everyone's a freak
Sometimes I have toyed
With ideas that I got from good
old Dr. Freud
Nothing new of course
It may seem to you I try to break
through open doors
Oh no, oh no
I just wanna say a lot of that
applies to me
'Cause it's an explanation to
my split identity
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or
in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in
it
Everyone's a freak
Me and I...
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or
in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in
it
Everyone's a freak
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I...
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and
then
Of a world where every neighbour
is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our
will to try
If we don't we might as well lay
down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...
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 talked of politics, philosophy
and I
Smiled 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, the 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
We were living for the day, worries
far away...
(fade)
They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys
and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat in the snow and in
the rain
Came to hear him play
Play their mind away
We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by tune
We're following the piper
Abd we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
Abd we dance beneath the moon
for him
And we dance beneath the moon
They came from the souuth
From the west and the north and
from the east
They waited for a man
Like a parish is waiting for the
priest
Longed to hear him play
Play their minds away
He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And fear was a weapon in his hand
So they let him play
Play their minds away
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential
threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking
was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting
duck
A little small talk, a smile and
baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've
done with me
A grown-up woman should never
fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and
they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
(repeat 2x and fade)
You and I can share the silince
Finding comfort together
The way old friend do
And after fight and words of violance
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Tmes of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face together
The way old friends do
(repeat)
