Abbalicious.... what? it's the least cringeworthy title I could think off.





I am currently in Love (with a capital L) with Abba's album Arrival. This is not the original. Apparently there were two original versions, one for Australia and one for the rest of the world. They had slightly different track listings. The one I bought has all the tracks from both versions plus Fernando as a bonus track.



I especially like the track That's Me. I identify with it. :-) Here are the lyrics:


That's Me

(B. Andersson/S. Anderson/B. Ulvaeus)


Are you sure you wanna hear more

What if I ain't worth the while

Not the style you'd be lookin' for

If I'm sweet tonight

Things look different in the morning light

I'm jealous and I'm proud

If you hurt my feelings I'll cry out loud

I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry

That's me

Are you sure you wanna hear more

Would I be the one you seek

Mild and meek like the girl next door

Don't you realise

I may be an angel in disguise

It's lonley to be free

But I'm not a man's toy, I'll never be

I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry

That's me

I don't believe in fairy-tales

Sweet nothings in my ear

But I do believe in sympathy

That's me, you see

Are you sure you wanna hear more

Won't you have a drink with me

Just to see you're not really sore

I can't help my ways

I'm just not the girl to hide my face

I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry

That's me

There's a special love

Like an eagle flying with a dove

I'll find it in the end

If I keep on searchin', but until then

I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry

That's me
