Helen Sjöholm - Wherever He Ain't

From Trettondagskonsert 2010 - Wherever He Ain't (from Mack & Mabel, 1974)

I've gotta give my life some sparkle and fizz
And think a thought that isn't wrapped up in his
The place that I consider Paradise is
Wherever he ain't, wherever he ain't!

No more to wither when he's grouchy and gruff,
No more to listen to him bellow and bluff
Tomorrow morning I'll be struttin' my stuff
Wherever he ain't, wherever he ain't

Enough of being bullied and bossed
Ta-ta, auf wiedersehen and get lost!
I walked behind him like a meek little lamb
And had my fill of his not givin' a damn
I'll go to Sidney or Ceylon or Siam
Wherever he ain't, wherever he ain't!

It's time for little Nell to rebel
If he's in heaven, I'll go to hell
My little love nest was a terrible trap
With me behaving like a simpering sap

And so I'm lookin' for a spot on the map
If he 's goin' south, I'm goin' north
If he's goin' back, I'm goin' forth
Wherever he ain't

This is the perfect mix of bombastic vocals and pure emotional investment in the character... You can really hear and feel Mabel's anger and frustration in this song! Way to go, Hellen!

[otwist]

Så fantastiskt bra! Helen Sjöholm är en sjuuuuuukt duktig sångerska.

'If he is in heaven, I'll go to hell!' :D

For that person for whom I waited 20 years--what a waste. I'm moving on! Ta Ta. May you get what you richly deserve!!!

Jag tycker Helen borde göra trettondagskonserten varje år som standard liksom, båda hon har gjort har ju varit helt awesome om jag får uttrycka mig så :P
