As a swede, I feel like ABBA is just so... natural, for lack of a better word, for us. Like they kind of just always exists there in the background, like a fact of Sedish nature and culture, so I keep forgetting just how *absolutely massive* they really were. So I'm always so surprised whenever I hear any of their songs from anywhere else.
I'm at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember The people we used to be It's even harder to picture That you're not here next to me You say it's too late to make it But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted All of our bridges burned down I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now, I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time When we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise I'm at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? If "Happy Ever After" did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full of shit One more fucking love song, I'll be sick (oh) You turned your back on tomorrow 'Cause you forgot yesterday I gave you my love to borrow But you just gave it away You can't expect me to be fine I don't expect you to care I know I've said it before But all of our bridges burned down I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now, I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time When we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise I'm at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you (oh, oh) Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? (Yeah) If "Happy Ever After" did exist I would still be holding you like this And all those fairy tales are full of shit One more fucking love song, I'll be sick (uh) Now, I'm at a payphone Man, fuck that shit I'll be out spending all this money while you sitting 'round Wondering why it wasn't you who came up from nothing Made it from the bottom, now, when you see me, I'm stunning And all of my cars start with a push of a button Telling me had chances I blew up or whatever you call it Switch the number to my phone, so you never could call it Don't need my name on my show, you can tell that I'm balling Swish, what a shame could have got picked Had a really good game, but you missed your last shot So you talk about who you see at the top Or what you could've saw, but sad to say, it's over for Phantom pulled up, valet open doors Wished I'd go away, got what you was looking for Now, it's me who they want, so you can go And take that little piece of shit with you I'm at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you (woo) Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? (Yeah, yeah) If "Happy Ever After" did exist (oh, yeah) I would still be holding you like this All these fairy tales are full of shit Yeah, one more fucking love song, I'll be sick (yeah) Now, I'm at a payphone
