Dance Like Swedes

God bless Abba.


Dance Like Swedes


Lyrics:


I CAME ACROSS MY THREE PIECE SUIT THE OTHER DAY
AND THE MEMORIES CAME RUSHING BACK SO CLEAR
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT TWENTY YEARS HAVE GONE AWAY
SINCE THE TIME I WAS SO YOUNG AND HAD NO FEAR

THAT WAS A TIME WHEN MY LIFE GOT ALL TURNED AROUND
I WAS REBORN INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN
WHEN I SAW ABBA MY JAW DROPPED RIGHT TO THE GROUND
I COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT GOD HAD BROUGHT ME BACK FROM SWEDEN

FROM THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT SUN, I THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD COME
TO SHOW ME HOW TO SATISFY MY WANTS AND NEEDS
FOUND THAT ONE DESIRE, TO SET MY SOUL ON FIRE
WAS TO LEARN JUST HOW TO DANCE LIKE SWEDES

DANCE SWEDES

I NEVER BOUGHT THAT BROOKLYN GUIDO KIND OF THING
WHERE MONTE CARLOS WERE ONLY OWNED BY MACHO MEN
I GOT A SAAB AND DYED MY HAIR BLOND IN THE SPRING
AND IN THE FALL I LEGALLY CHANGED MY NAME TO SVEN

FROM THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT SUN, I THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD COME
TO SHOW ME HOW TO SATISFY MY WANTS AND NEEDS
FOUND THAT ONE DESIRE, TO SET MY SOUL ON FIRE
WAS TO LEARN JUST HOW TO DANCE LIKE SWEDES

DANCE LIKE SWEDES

I WAS OBSESSED AND FOLLOWED THEM BOTH NIGHT AND DAY
I STUDIED CLOSELY HOW THEY MOVED AND DANCED AROUND
I MADE A LIVING SELLING MEATBALLS THAT I MADE
EVERY TIME THEY CAME ON STAGE, I WAS SPELLBOUND

NOW IT SEEMS SO LONG AGO, I SAW THEIR FINAL SHOW
YOU KNOW ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END
PUT AWAY THAT SUIT OF WHITE, THAT HAS BECOME TOO TIGHT
BUT KEEP THOSE MEMORIES OF BACK THEN

FROM THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT SUN, I THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD COME
TO SHOW ME HOW TO SATISFY MY WANTS AND NEEDS
FOUND THAT ONE DESIRE, TO SET MY SOUL ON FIRE
WAS TO LEARN JUST HOW TO DANCE LIKE SWEDES

DANCE LIKE SWEDES, DANCE LIKE SWEDES
DANCE LIKE SWEDES, DANCE LIKE SWEDES
