"Fernando"
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
Agnetha We're not the stars of a Hollywood movie
So what's the use to pretend
I'm not so charming and you're not so groovy
You've got to face it my friend
Agnetha, Frida Dreamworld, you've been living in a dreamworld
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl, doesn't mean they're in a dreamworld
Here I am, here you are,
We're gonna make it together
And within, it's a fuss
So we can only get better
Agnetha When you reach up and you say to me
How I love you, girl
When I hold you, baby, can't you see
That's the way we whirl
You had your hopes and your high expectations
Somehow it doesn't seem right
I'm getting fed-up with your acquisitions
I'm not your angel in white
Agnetha, Frida Dreamworld, you've been living in a dreamworld
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl, doesn't mean they're in a dreamworld
Here I am, here you are,
We're gonna make it together
And within, it's a fuss
So we can only get better
Agnetha When you reach up and you say to me
How I love you, girl
When I hold you, baby, can't you see
That's the way we whirl
Agnetha, Frida Dreamworld, you've been living in a dreamworld
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl, doesn't mean they're in a dreamworld
Here I am, here you are,
We're gonna make it together
And within, it's a fuss
So we can only get better
There's a wonderful world where all you desire
And everything you've longed for is at your fingertips
Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips
Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you
And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air
At the end of each working day she's waiting there
I'm in love with the queen of the supermarket
As the evening sky turns blue
A dream awaits in aisle number two
With my shopping cart I move through the heart
Of a sea of fools so blissfully unaware
That they're in the presence of something wonderful and rare
The way she moves behind the counter
Beneath her white apron her secrets remain hers
As she bags the groceries, her eyes so bored
And sure she's unobserved
I'm in love with the queen of the supermarket
There's nothing I can say
[ Bruce Springsteen Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Each night I take my groceries and
I drift away, and I drift away
With the guidance from the gods above
At night I pray for the strength to tell the one I love
I love, I love, I love her so
I take my place in the checkout line
For one moment her eyes meet mine
And I'm lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted away
I'm in love with the queen of the supermarkets
Though a company cap covers her hair
Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there
The beauty waiting there
As I lift my groceries into my cart
I turn back for a moment and catch a smile
That blows this whole fucking place apart
I'm in love with the queen of the supermarket
I'm in love with the queen of the supermarket
