The ABBA story began in June 1966 when Björn Ulvaeus (born 1945) met Benny Andersson (born 1946) for the first time. Björn was a member of the Hootenanny Singers, a very popular folk music group, while Benny played keyboards in Sweden’s biggest pop group of the 1960s, The Hep Stars. The pair wrote their first song together later that year, and by the end of the decade they had established a regular partnership as composers. By that time, Benny had left The Hep Stars, while the Hootenanny Singers only existed in the recording studio. The Hootenanny Singers released their records on the Polar Music record label, owned by Stig Anderson (1931–1997), who was to become ABBA’s manager.

Elaine Lyrics
ABBA
You hate, you scream, you swear
And still you never reach him
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach him
Its a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
Elaine, elaine, elaine
You know theyre gonna get you
You try to break away
But they will never let you
Its a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
Youre like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, elaine, elaine
They have your mind, theyll take your soul
You come, you stay, you go
It really doesnt matter
Youve done it all before
By now theyll know the pattern
Its a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
Youre like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, elaine, elaine
They have your mind, theyll take your soul
Now that youre gone, you know theyre gonna get you
Now that youre gone, you know theyll never let you
Its a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
Youre like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, elaine, elaine
They have your mind, theyll take your soul
Now that youre gone, you know theyre gonna get you
Now that youre gone, you know theyll never let you
