Weltuntergang, musikalisch

Nachdem Jens in seinem Weblog schon When the World ends von der Dave Matthews Band zitiert, hier meine Antwort - von einer Band, bei der man das nicht erwarten würde:

On and on and on

I was at a party and this fella said to me
Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights

I said, Who are you to talk about impending doom?
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, I'm a minister, a big shot in the state
I said, I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?
He said, Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone


On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Til the night is gone


Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, Who am I and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, If you're going somewhere can I come along?
I said, Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone


On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Til the night is gone
(repeat and fade)

ABBA, On and on and on, 1980
