What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



She is woman, hear her squeak. After 10 albums, that's what the timid little voice had become. Had forgotten she
was an Aussie. Probably their biggest export at the time after Olivia. Still a good album with only two tracks I
don't like, but she was on her way down at this point, as it was the last album to chart in ths US at a weak #75.
An unusual pairing with Runaways producer Kim Fowley wasn't as off the wall as it may sound. Still mostly the soft
rock material that Helen was accustomed to with a few exceptions. Baby I'm A Star is the only thing that seems
totally out of place, trying a bit too hard to do something different, leading to a worst rating. Helen picked up
half of the writing credits here, a bit unusual for her. Best track is one of hers, The Happy Girls, sounds more
like sad girls, but it's pretty. No charting singles are showing from here, but I would guess at least the leadoff
of You're My World had to have been released. I've heard better male versions of this classic, but Helen's is ok.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Baby I'm A Star

Best Track - The Happy Girls

Sally met him in the war, back in 1944
He took her home to the states
His buddies thought that she was great

Subway sally's 51
Her man is gone, the dreams are done
She rides by night the Brooklyn train
Sleeps by day to hide the pain

Lonely women of the world
We're the happy girls
Lonely heroes of the world
Seek the happy girls

Nancy saw him on the street
His shoes were shined, his suit was neat
She couldn't see his broken mind
Behind the mask of being kind

He sleeps inside the iron bars
Nancy's smile can't hide the scars
Her daughter's grown, there's no one home
She cries all night, she's all alone

Lonely women of the world
We're the happy girls
Lonely heroes of the world
Seek the happy girls

To tell the truth there's no end in sight
Mr Lonely always calls at night
Let's hold on tight until the morning light

Terry's gonna meet him soon
Today at school, maybe noon
I hope for her it turns out right
I know she's got a date tonight

Had my ups, had my downs
Truth was lost but truth was found
This I've learned, the world still turns
We all get bruised, we all get burned

Lonely women of the world
We're the happy girls
Lonely heroes of the world
Seek the happy girls

Happy girls, happy girls, happy girls
