Snippet


Lyrics

Jag köpte en biljett till sjunde himlen
för att se om min älskade var där
Hon sa hon ville fara till sjunde himlen
det var då hon tog farväl

Jag åkte blå buss nummer tre in till staden
och besökte en dam i en lucka på en SJ-station
Jag skulle köpa biljett till sjunde himlen
Dom är slut, sa hon och log...

Himmel no. 7 - Himmel no. 7 - Himmel no. 7
visst lurar du mej
eller hur, eller hur, eller hur

Himmel no. 7 - Himmel no. 7 - Himmel no. 7
visst lurar du mej
åh nej, å nej

Jag satte stegen mot SAS:en
En plats på planet sen far jag iväg över husen
Men dom hade ingen ledig sits för nå'n till sjunde himlen
bara ett nummer: 90 000

Himmel no. 7...

Jag sprang på en man med konstiga ögon
Han sa: Vill du resa iväg till sjunde himlen
enkel biljett, femti spänn, här är paketet
packa väskan och flyg iväg...

Jag köpte en biljett till sjunde himlen
för att se om min älskade var där
Hon sa hon ville fara till sjunde himlen
det var då hon tog farväl

Himmel no. 7...


Heaven No. 7
I bought a ticket to the seventh heaven
to see if my darling was there.
She said she wanted to go to the seventh heaven,
it was then she said goodbye.

I took blue bus number three into the city
and visited a lady in a booth at the train station.
I wanted a ticket to the seventh heaven.
They are sold out, she said and smiled...

Heaven no. 7, Heaven no. 7, Heaven no. 7,
are you tricking me, oh no, oh no.
You are, you are, you are

Heaven no. 7, Heaven no. 7, Heaven no. 7,
are you tricking me, oh no, oh no.
You are, you are, you are

I set my steps towards SAS.
A seat on a plane, then I leave over the houses.
But they had no seat for someone going to the seventh heaven,
only a number: 911.

Heaven no. 7...

I ran into a man with strange eyes.
He said 'You want to travel to the seventh heaven?
One-way ticket, fifty bucks, here is the package,
pack your bag and fly away'...
I bought a ticket to the seventh heaven
to see if my darling was there.
She said she wanted to go to the seventh heaven,
it was then she said goodbye.

Heaven no. 7...

Comments

Himmel No. 7 was the first single released on EMI. The B-side was a trifle called Flickorna på TV2... The Swedish radio station (only one at the time) and discos started playing the B-side and the single was instantly reissued as a double A-side. EMI claims to this day it was incorrectly labeled A and B.
The single version has a slightly shortened middle eight.
