Today's Best Song Ever: The Visitors

 

 
I hear the doorbell ring and suddenly the panic takes me 
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence 
I cannot move, I'm standing 
Numb and frozen 
Among the things I love so dearly 
The books, the paintings and the furniture 
Help me 
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the door-knob 
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient 
And they don't dare to come here 
Anymore now 
But how I loved our secret meetings 
We talked and talked in quiet voices 
Smiling 
Now I hear them moving 
Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm 
Crackin' up 
Voices growing louder, irritation building 
And I'm close to fainting 
Crackin' up 
They must know by now I'm in here trembling 
In a terror evergrowing 
Crackin' up 
My whole world is falling, going crazy 
There is no escaping now, I'm 
Crackin' up 
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation 
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces 
And now they've come to take me 
Come to break me 
And yet it isn't unexpected 
I have been waiting for these visitors 
Help me 
 
 
 
 

 

Jemand hat zu "The Visitors" auf YT geschrieben: "We had a radio station here that played this record for weeks without telling its listeners who the band was. They were getting dozens of calls a day raving about the song and requests that it be played again. Once the station finally announced that it was ABBA, the calls stopped. People are such idiots."
