ABBA - man in the middle

이 노래는 부유한 남자가 젊은 여자와의 관계를 통해 사치를 누리고, 다른 사람들과의 격차를 회피하는 모습을描写한다
그는 권력을 유지하기 위해 비도덕적인 선택을 하고, 자신이 원하는 것을 얻기 위해 양심을 저버린다
결국 남자는 자신의 아집을 키우며, 항상 중심에서 영향력을 행사하려고 한다

Did you see that man in the limousine?
With the pretty girl, he is fifty and the girl's only seventeen
But she doesn't care, and she never will
If he's ninety-five she don't give a damn
Just as long as he pays the bill
Did you see that man with a fat cigar?
He just left his lunch with a belly full of lobster and caviar
He can choose the wine from a vintage year
He will drink champagne in his limousine
While the rest of us drink a beer
'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
You double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil 'cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle...
