Anyhow, I'm looking for a way to say thanks to them for the music and opportunity to go ape shit in Brixton. Guess this will do. Spread the love!
Well, I really fell in love at Crocodile and got the blow at Holding The Moth and notwithstanding all spooky coincidences long before and after that release I finally realised "it´s not my version, only a copy" so I just booked the show at "Wallmans-Salonger" in Stockholm. You know, the place where artist are singing and dancing and serving dinner and taking care of the dishes too between their performances. This year we have a show called "Thank you for the music", a kinda tribute to Benny and Björn from ABBA. www.wallmans.com/Stockholm
Yeah, I guess that will do as well. I was a big ABBA fan back in the seventies in Hungary, long before I understood I´m gonna live a big chunk of my live in Sweden (just another funny coincidence ).
I know I´m gonna hum the "thank you for the music" for my self the rest of the night after that show


I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Thank you for the music
For giving it to me...
