Released by Agnetha in 1972 featuring two songs from Jesus Christ Superstar in which Agnetha played the role of Mary Magdeline in the Swedish stage production
Produced by Bjorn Ulvaeus
Here is a slideshow I made for the wonderful A side to this single

Nu skall du bli stilla
(Swedish version of 'Everything's Alright')
Nu skall du bli stilla
Nu skall du försöka
Glömma dina sorger,
Åh, tro du mig
Allting är alright
Ja, allting är bra.
Du skall sova så gott i natt
Låt vår jord snurra runt som den vill
Allt blir gott, om du blott
Glömmer av att vi andra finns till.
Oljan den kan lena,
Lugna dej och rena,
När dust på din panna,
Åh, så härligt
Allting är alright
Ja, allting är bra.
Känns så svalt på din hand min vän
På din brännheta fot, ja känn
Somna in, somna in,
Slappna av tänk på alls ingenting.
Nu skall du bli stilla
Nu skall du försöka
Glömma dina sorger,
Åh, tro du mig
Allting är alright
Ja, allting är bra.
Du skall sova så gott i natt
Låt vår jord snurra runt som den vill
Allt blir gott, om du blott
Glömmer av att vi andra finns till.
Oljan den kan lena,
Lugna dej och rena,
När dust på din panna,
Åh, så härligt
Allting är alright
Ja, allting är bra.
Känns så svalt på din hand min vän
På din brännheta fot, ja känn
Somna in, somna in,
Slappna av tänk på alls ingenting.
Somna in, somna in,
Slappna av tänk på alls ingenting,
Somna in, somna in,
Slappna av tänk på alls ingenting
Original English version........
MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight
APOSTLES' WIVES
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.
MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight.
APOSTLES' WIVES
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.
JUDAS
Woman your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor.
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more.
People who are hungry, people who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair!
MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
APOSTLES' WIVES and MARY
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.
JESUS
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling.
Look at the good things you've got.
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You'll be lost, and you'll be sorry when I'm gone.
MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead/
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Think of nothing tonight.
APOSTLES' WIVES
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.
MARY MAGDALENE
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Oh, I meant, i have ever seen, sorry...
