Lyric discussion by Blaubeerwald

This is a great version of the song by Abba. The lyrics have been slightly changed.

Instead of Abba's: "I must have read a while; the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style" It's "Or maybe I read a while, The latest one by Declan Gunn or something in that style."

And Abba goes: "There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see" whereas it's here: "There cannot be a sitcom or a game show that I've never seen."

The song describes a before-after-setting, but you only learn the before: an aimless, empty life, that is not even aware of its problems. But I'm not really sure, if the change will ever happen.
