{slow dramatic spoken word intro,
weeping steel guitar, slow triplet rhythm,
muted
snare} (hummmm) (ahhhh)
Helen was fighting for her very life
Trying to be a brave and loving wife
But while the clinic took her golden hair
Her husband's heart was busy
elsewhere
(oh no) Men are no good,
oh they break your heart
Leaving you cold when your world falls apart When Helen was weak,
he walked out the door
Men are no good,
no they don't love no more
(no more, no more) She faced the sickness and she faced the
pain
While he was running
with some new flame
He took her youth and he left her dry
With nothing left but a hospital sky (why, oh
why) {mournful electric guitar solo in 1950s clean twang style,
heavy spring reverb, triplets,
weeping bend notes} Men are no good,
oh they break your heart
Leaving you cold when your world falls apart When Helen was weak,
he walked out the door
Men are no good,
no they don't love no more (no more,
no more)
No, they don't love no more...
Oh Helen, stand tall...
{music slowly fades,
solo crying guitar, single quiet drum rimshot} (mmm-mmm-mmm)
