"HEY HEY HELEN"
So at last, you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
And the price, you pay
To become a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry
Does it hurt when they ask for daddy

Hey hey helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen
Can you make it alone
(yes you can)

So you're free, at last
And beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad
When you think about the life you ha-ha-had
But you're right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight to find your freedom

Hey hey helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey helen (Hey hey helen)
What's the matter with you
Hey hey helen (Hey hey helen)
Don't you know what to do
(Yes you do)
(Ahah, yes you do, yes you do)
(Ahah, Yes you do, yes you do)

Hey hey helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey helen(hey hey helen)
What's the matter with you
Hey hey helen(hey hey helen)
Don't you know what to do
Hey hey helen(hey hey helen)
Now you live on your own
Hey hey helen(hey hey helen)

'Hey Hey Helen' is a really good ABBA song and Agnetha & Frida's vocals are excellent I think it was released as a B-Side in 1975.

[ji61m]

Hey Hey Helen was ( in most countries ) the B-Side to their hit Fernando and was included on the 1975 album " ABBA " . There were a few countries where " Tropical Loveland " was the B-Side. Thanks for looking in!

Sounds much better in stereo, Jim. Thanks.

It comes across more as it should, though I would love to have a go at re-recording it and spice it up a bit.

You call the girls and I'll meet you in the studio in an hour! : )

Hey, I only critique them once in a while because they're just so darned good - and so the bar is set very high for everything they do. Then again, they sold hundreds of millions of albums worldwide, not me. : )

[ji61m]

Thanks Mike...wouldn't that be great, do you think we'd actually get any work done? I'd be staring at Aggy to much to do anything...probably freak her out!

If you're one of those millions like myself who've went out and bought these records, Then your opinion matters, so critique away!

[MillionthUsername]

I'd be staring at her too. She's a work of art. We'd have to pour cold water on the men every once in a while or something in order to get any work done! : )

It would be a dream to work with such talented and creative people in the studio. I don't know how they can keep from getting back together to at least do something.

Aggy seems to want to keep it all in the past. Oh well! C'est la vie.

[ji61m]

Well ya know Mike, at least they went out on their terms instead of hanging around and doing sub-par recordings. They went out on top and that's how they'll be remembered! Hopefully they have one more gig left in them(The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!)

My my my these songs really do have an effect on all the memories long long long time ago!!!. I wasabout 10 or 11 years old then ...

Thanx so much ji61m <------ u rocx

[B52sguy]

Just great, Jim. Could listen to this version all day. Have always loved the back-beat of this tune, and that little pause on the synth is just to unreal for words. Love the group picture at the end. That's the way the group looked in 1971 when I met them in Finland.

What a night that was, I'll tell you.

Best as always,

[RandomDaniel]

this song is so about my mum...and her name happens 2 b helen

[evergreentree1]

All of them except Frida want to keep in the past. My sense is that she enjoyed ABBA more than any of the rest of them. But then she's a born performer, and I'm not sure that's true of any of the other members.
