as I got into a fight

I could hear someone saying

as though he was praying:

Ah...

Treat him well, he is your brother

You might need his help one day

We depend on one another

Love him, that's the only way

On the road (on the road) that we're going

We all need (we all need)

words of comfort and compassion

Treat him well, he is your brother

Love him, that's the only way

I was a woman never thinking of others

And my life was so lonely,

didn't care for anybody

But then I happened to meet

a begging man in the street

As I turned down his praying

I heard someone saying:

Ah...

Treat him well, he is your brother

You might need his help one day

We depend on one another

Love him, that's the only way

On the road (on the road)

that we're going (that we're going)

We all need (we all need)

words of comfort and compassion

Treat him well,

he is your brother (brother)

Love him, that's the only way

Yeah, yeah, sure. Everything's fine.

There's no need to worry.

I met them at the airport,

we spoke for quite a long time...

Yes. Yes. There's just one thing:

- I have to go to Perth.

- Perth?

That's 2,000 miles

and a very expensive airfare away.

Yes, I know that, but you wanted

the close personal story, and they...

That's the way it has to be.

I have to get to know them.

They have to trust me.

I want every listener on 2TW

to share ABBA with you-

- and me and all of us, privately.

Right?

Don't worry.

I'll get the personal side.

No, no, no. I'll be able

to edit and record as I go.

I've already got

some interviews in the street-

- some comments on people,

how they feel about the group. Yeah.

Oh! Also...

Could you send my press card to Perth?

I left in such a rush

that I left it in the studio.

- Can I help you?

- Yes.

Could I...

Can I have these two T-shirts, please.

I'll take this as well. Thank you.

Thank you.
