[13th CW] CITY SONGS: "SUMMER NIGHT CITY" & "I AM THE CITY" BY ABBA



Abba's turn to sing a song about their hometown Stockholm in "SUMMER NIGHT CITY", where there's almost 24-hour-daylight during the summer period. Their video shows views of Sweden's capital.
Lyrics on video subtitles.


Another song by Abba is "I AM THE CITY". Lyrics below after video.


i am the city, you let me bei am the city
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from aboveAnd I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyesAnd you find me beautiful and irresistibleA kind of creature that forever seems to grow in sizeAnd you feel a strange attractionThe air is vibrant and electrifiedWelcome to me here I am, my arms are open wide
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noiseThere is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beatsAnd a million voices blend into a single voiceAnd you can hear it in the glamor of the crowded streetsPeople come and take their chancesSometimes you win sometimes you lose a lotCome make your own contribution to this melting pot
I'm the street you walkThe language you talkI am the cityThe skyline is me and the energyI am the cityThe famous hotels and the cocktail barsAnd the funny smellsAnd the turmoil, the cars and the peopleThe air that you're breathing is meYes I am the city, you let me be
People feed me with their lives I have a hungry soulAnd they all worship me and pay their homage day and nightEvery day I knew a lot of tired shopping feetBut come the night they will be dancing in the neon lightDazzled by the crazy magicThey're grabbing pieces of the fatted calfAnd in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
I'm the street you walkThe language you talkI am the cityThe skyline is me and the energyI am the cityThe famous hotels and the cocktail barsAnd the funny smellsAnd the turmoil, the cars and the peopleThe parks and the squares that you seeAll the sounds that you hearAnd the air that you're breathing is meYes I am the city, you let me be
I am the cityYou let me beI am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail barsAnd the funny smellsAnd the turmoil the cars and the peopleThe air that you're breathing is me
Coming through a cloudYou're looking at me from aboveAnd I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
I'm the street you walkThe language you talkI am the cityYes I am the city, you let me be
And you find me beautiful and irresistibleA kind of creature that forever seems to grow in size
The skyline is me and the energyI am the cityYou let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noiseThere is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noiseThere is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voiceAnd you can hear it in the glamor of the crowded streets
The skyline is me and the energyI am the cityYou let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noiseThere is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noiseThere is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
