Det er liksom noe annet med ABBA. Her følger teksten på Crazy World (1975):
I was up 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 your front door
had a feeling of emptiness
like I 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
Det er i hvert fall en viss påtagelig forskjell hva angår tekstene... |
