Super Trouper Lyrics
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
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
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
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
(Still I'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
(Think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(You'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
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
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
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
I really like this song, and to me it reminds me of when I was a kid listening to ABBA while riding in the car with my parents. I always wondered what a Super Trouper was and wikipedia has the answer.
The 'Super Trouper' is the name of a range of followspots which are the type of light which appear brightest and keep the performer lit. It is widely known that ABBA were not always fond of performing onstage, preferring the studio to being on the road and constantly on tour. This is reflected in the lyrics, which, in typical ABBA style are presented as upbeat, yet tinged with an underlying hint of sadness.
this song is about someone who is a pop star and while theyre famous and stuff, theyre in love with a regular person who comes to see them and this song is telling them that theyre the only one they sing for.
love it <3 my favorite of theirs =]
I find remarkable how the authors manage to not only communicate their weariness of the pop business through the means of a pop song, but also put the myth of the personal close-knittedness of the group – the very essence of their image, present even in their name – to rest, while disguising it into a love-message-of-sorts to their audience. Extremely clever.
This is my happy song.
What an amazing song. It makes me happy.
