ABBA in Japan 1980 on the 1979-1980 tour, taken from the new 'ABBA in Japan' dvd.

No-one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Oh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights

Those Swedish nights are long and dark.

[SADL00KINM00N]

@JimColyer Not during the summers in the north of Sweden! :)

Japanese TV had the right to ABBA on stage but not to the sound, so when they edited this TV special, they had to fuse it with the record

[SADL00KINM00N]

@thepiperchile Hey thanks for the information! That makes sense :)

[tuffbaby]

It's NOT a live performance and the audio has been accelerated ! Fake !

[SADL00KINM00N]

@tuffbaby It doesn't say it's live anywhere. Click on the link shown in the description or the red box appearing in the beginning of this video or the "this is a video response to" -link (you can't miss it).

There you have the video with real live audio from Japan 1980. This is what came on the official DVD though, not much to do about it.

Much faster tempo than the studio version!

Looks like the girls invented camel- toe back in the 70's. I was only a kid then and I wasn't yet aware of just how beautiful those two were. Always liked the songs-but it was a hidden pleasure. I was listening to Rush and Yes back then, too. And lots of Sabbath-my bandmates would've laughed me out of the band. Peace

@nipplerful Yeah you are probably right. But it's strange they didn't slow down the video instead, and then they wouldn't have had to speed up the music...
