THE NAME OF THE GAME

I've seen you twice, in a short time

Only a week since we started

It seems to me, for every time

I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case

No-one ever could reach me

But I think I can see in your face

There's a lot you can teach me

So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me,

if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know..

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see

And I am never invited

Now I am here, talking to you

No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice

And the way you see through me

Got a feeling, you give me no choice

But it means a lot to me

So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Does it mean anything to you?

(Got a feeling you give me no choice)

(But it means a lot)

What's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me,

if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know..

Oh yes I wanna know..

The name of the game

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you?

(But I think I can see in your face)

(That it means a lot)

What's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do?

(Got a feeling you give me no choice)

(But it means a lot)

Hello?

Good morning!

Everything is going really well here.

Everything's fine.

There's just one small problem.

I have to tag along with them

to Adelaide.

Adelaide...

Ever-Lovin' Adelaide

is taking a chance with you, Ashley.

Listen, you don't have to worry.

I know them all quite well...

...but the time is not ripe yet

for an interview.

I'm trying to remain friends with you,

but you're making it bloody difficult!

They have to have confidence in me.

It's too early.

Do you know what I mean?

All right, go to Adelaide.

But please, Ashley,

get that dialogue we spoke of!

I'm sorry. I didn't get that.

The dialogue!

Oh, the dialogue! Yes.

The dialogue...

That's exactly why I wanted to wait.

0h... Just one more thing.

My press card.

Can you send it on to Adelaide?

Great. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Shortly we will be landing in Adelaide.

Please fasten your seatbelts-

- and make sure that your seat

is in an upright position.

They have a very distinctive,

a very individual sound-

- which is all their own, which is very

difficult for others to copy.

The girls' voices

have their own special sound.

They utilize the technical facilities

of a studio to the utmost.

I believe it was an English critic

that commented that if you took-

- an ABBA song apart and laid all

the different pieces, out before you-

- there would be only one way to put

the song back together again-

- and that's the way, of course,

that they had originally done it.

- Okay...

- It's inflated.

- I thought it would hang...

- It's like a cloud.

- It looks good.

- It's a really good roof.

What do you like about their songs?

It's got type of... a feeling that,

you know, you're happy.

I just like them. I don't know why I do.

I just like them.

There's nothing really special about them.

They're only human beings...

Except their music.

That's what's special.

Right. Listen, I just want to recheck

with you on the arrival arrangements-

- in Melbourne on Saturday morning.

Start with violins and then the chellos.

There's only two violas.

Somebody, give me a hand with this.

Very comfortable! Very comfortable.

Their image is very clean-

- and it does provide a large contrast

to a great number of popular groups.

They don't have anything to do

with chains and violence.

Their music and their performance

has to do with having a good time.

I think most parents

react very favourably to ABBA.

At the concerts amongst the public-

- you see sometimes two even three

generations of a family.

Just a small portion.

Could you rip it off please!

I think it would be very wise

if you all slow ed down a little bit-

- and just took your time

and s at down. There is plenty of room.

Well they are not like other groups

you know that get up-

- and sort of go crazy play

their guitars and shake their heads.

- Thanks very much.

- 0kay.

ABBA books and posters! 75 cents each!

ABBA buttons!

Get your ABBA buttons here!

- I dont much...

- What dont you like about ABBA?

- They show off too much.

- How do they show off?

They just wear too many...

They just wear too many clothes.

And too much make-up. That's all.

We want ABBA! We want ABBA!

We want ABBA! We want ABBA!

Why Did It Have To Be Me

When you were lonely, you needed a man

Someone to lean on, well I understand

It's only natural

But why did it have to be me?

Nights can be empty, nights can be cold

So you were looking for someone to hold

That's only natural

But why did it have to be me?

I was so lonesome, I was blue

I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

Always thought you knew the reason why

I only wanted a little love affair

Now I can see you are beginning to care

But baby, believe me

It's better to forget me

Men are toys in the game that you play

When you get tired, you throw them away

That's only natural

But why did it have to be me?

Falling in love with a woman like you

Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do

It's only natural

But why did it have to be me?

I was so lonesome, I was blue

I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

Always thought you knew the reason why

I only wanted a little love affair

Now I can see you are beginning to care

But baby, believe me

It's better to forget me

Well, I like them...

...very much.

They are very nice people.

Would you like to tell me

why you like ABBA?

Because I sing it...

- I'm sorry. Could you tell me again?

- I sing it.

You sing it?

I like the songs, and it's really good.

What do you like about the songs?

The parts that are good.

What parts are good?

The songs are good,

because their names are good.

And one of the men is sexy, you know.

They look sexy.

- Do you think ABBA are sexy?

- Uh-uh. Nice.

So do I. I think they're nice,

but it's a bit sexy.

- Sexy?!

- Sexy...

..... taken by surprise

When I kissed the teacher

Couldnt quite believe his eyes,

when I kissed the teacher

My whole class went wild

As I held my breath, the world stood still,

but then he just smiled
