Elaine (B-side to The Winner Takes It All) Songtext
von ABBA

You hate, you scream, you swear
And still, you never reach ′em
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach 'em

It′s a dead-end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane, a nowhere train for

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You know they're gonna get you
You try to break away
But they will never let you

It's a dead-end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane, a nowhere train for


Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You′re like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
They have your mind, they′ll take your soul

You come, you stay, you go
It really doesn't matter
You′ve done it all before
By now, they know the pattern

It's a dead-end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane, a nowhere train for

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You′re like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul

Nowhere to go (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You know they′re gonna get you
Nowhere to go (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You know they'll never let you


It's a dead-end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane, a nowhere train for

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You′re like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
They have your mind, they′ll take your soul

Nowhere to go (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You know they're gonna get you
Nowhere to go (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You know they′ll never let you

Nowhere to go
You know they're gonna get you
Nowhere to go
