Heaven No.7 (Himmel No.7)

I bought a ticket to the seventh heaven
to se if my beloved was there
She said she wanted to go to the seventh heaven
It was when she said goodbye
I went with blue bus number three in to the city
and visited a lady in a disk counter on a SJ-station
I was about to buy a ticket to the seventh heaven
They're sold out, she said and smiled
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Certainly you fool me
aren't you, aren't you,
aren't you?
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Certainly you fool me?
Oh no, oh no
I walked towards the SAS
A seat on the plane
then I fly away over the houses
But they didn't have a vacant seat
for someone to the seventh heaven
just a number: 90 000
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Certainly you fool me
aren't you, aren't you,
aren't you?
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Certainly you fool me?
Oh no, oh no
I ran into a man with strange eyes
He said: Do you want to go to the seventh heaven
One way ticket, fifty crowns
here is the package
Pack the bag and fly away
I bought a ticket to the seventh heaven
to se if my beloved was there
She said she wanted to go to the seventh heaven
It was when she said goodbye
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Certainly you fool me
aren't you, aren't you,
aren't you?
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Heaven no. 7
Certainly you fool me?
Oh no, oh no

Revolver Up (Revolver Upp)

I said to Tony: It is just to be firm
Never give up, more more more coal
A push in the back
give them what they can bear
Revolver up
Ready and shoot
Revolver up
Ready and shoot
I said to Tony: Think of yourself
Everybody else just think of themselves
Kick the door open
or else you will be put aginst the wall
Revolver up
Ready and shoot
Revolver up
Ready and shoot
I said to Tony: Tony, press and press and press
Let the anchor go then
because the world is so nasty
Hear the heart beat
Put the legs on your back
Revolver up
Ready and shoot
Revolver up
Ready and shoot

The Girls On TV2 (Flickorna På TV2)

Come home, totally desperate
Have worked as hell
Turn on TV2, stressed to pieces by the city
Rapport with sport and weather, soon they are there
A look that makes me fall, oh God
I think I'm in love
Oho oho ho
The girls on TV2 - oho ho
The girls on TV2 - oho ho
It is you that makes the world go round
Between two programs
they get one minute
I sit in my sofa
My lips are pouting
I let myself be seduced
I snort like a bull
Oh the girls on TV2
you have made me to an animal
Oho oho ho
The girls on TV2 - oho ho
The girls on TV2 - oho ho
It is you that makes the world go round
Imagine to turn on TV2 - oho ho
Imagine to turn on the girls on TV2 - oho ho
Imagine to turn on TV2 - oho ho
Imagine to turn on the girls on TV2

(don't dance as good as) Sailors (dansar inte lika bra som) Sjömän

They were in love with some new Fred Astaire
They went to New York City to make a career
Dance oneself over the Atlantic
A tango with the captain
He said: O.K. ladies you have rather pretty legs, but
Ooh ooh
You don't dance as good as sailors
La la la la
Ooh ooh
You don't dance as good as sailors
They said: Come on tiger
show us how it should be
He said: It's about swinging
swing like Louis said
Dance around a diving clock/*high pressure chamber
Rock around the clock
and bet everything you have
you do it pretty well, but
Ooh ooh
You don't dance as good as sailors
La la la la
Ooh ooh
You don't dance as good as sailors
Ooh ooh
You don't dance as good as sailors
La la la la
Ooh ooh
You don't dance as good as sailors

*I don't know the word in english, but it is a chamber you use in deep water

The Last Time I Saw Annie (Sista Gången Jag Såg Annie)

The last time I saw Annie
it was a summer by the coast somewhere
With her asking eyes and long plaits
and sunburnt shade
I had wandered for weeks like in trance
I had wandered for weeks like in trance
It was an August morning
and the gulls had woken up a few
I had wandered to and fro, straight ahead
The whole night by myself
And she said that I didn't have a chance
She said that I didn't have a chance
It was the same year as the king died
The only time I've wished that I was him
And the beach was filled with the seaweed
that had got tired and floated ashore
It was Annie and I and nobody else
It was Annie and I and nobody else
The last time I saw Annie
it was a summer by the coast somewhere
With her asking eyes and long plaits
and sunburnt shade
She said that I didn't have a chance
She said that I didn't have a chance

Billy

Oh Billy and I had studied together
He toiled at Domus and I was on the dole
The autumn began to come and the feeling too
to get away from the whole shit
So Billy called me early one morning
and asked if I wanted to join him
I asked: where? and he answered: away!
and we went to Domus and he got out his pay
I called to my mother and said: I'll take off!
We took the first train that stood in the station
Two one-way tickets to Malmö Central and Billy said:
you understand what it is about!
Oh boy, you understand what it is about!
The ferry over the sound to Copenhagen
and we searched for quilt for the night
And we met a gang with bikes and hasch
and Billy began to talk, and I was afraid as hell
that the gang wanted to take us somewhere
And Billy turned on and I sat beside
and he went over his shit over and over and over again
I said: Billy. Hey, Billy
He said: boy, you understand what it is about!
He said: boy, you understand what it is about!
The morning came and the bikes rolled
Amsterdam was the next target
And Billy joined, he wanted me with him
but I hesitated and finally said: Goodbye
Billy got pissed off and they took off
and I, I took off at the opposite direction
And I slept by the station for a few days
then the ferry east in tones of minor
I said: Billy. Hey, Billy
I asked myself: boy, do you understand what it is about?
Do you understand what it is about?
The months passed and Billy was just as gone as the snow
but one day in June ‘77 came a postcard posted in Cologne
And he wrote that his life was a bag you kick on
throw away and chuck to and fro
and you open it and fill it with powder and with shit
Oh Billy, what the hell has happened?
I said: Billy. Hey Billy
He wrote: boy, do you understand what it is about?
Oh he wrote: boy, do you understand what it is about?
Yes, he wrote: boy, do you understand what it is about?
I say: my Billy, do you understand what it is about?

Fool Telephone (Fån Telefon)

Fool telephone, nobody answers
You hide yourself behind blue mascara
Thousand and one
one signal
I sit and wait
wait for answer
I call again
the same thing
Fool telephone, give me an answer
Yes, I know you are at home
I saw you go away and come
Thousand and one
one signal
I sit and wait
wait for answer
I call again
the same thing
Fool telephone, give me an answer
Maybe you have went on vacation
together with some old brass band
No, I know you are at home
I saw you go away and come
I don't want to know
your boyfriend's name
or who is resting in your arms
I don't want to know
I have understood
but I can't hang up for good
Maybe you have went on vacation
together with some old brass band
Fool telephone, nobody answers
You hide yourself behind blue mascara
I don't want to know
your boyfriend's name
or who is resting in your arms
I don't want to know
I have understood
but I can't hang up for good

When You Fall You Fall Hard (När Ni Faller Faller Ni Hårt)

No, we won't come along
We jump off while we can
You are many more than us
But we'll manage on our own
When you fall you fall hard
When you fall you fall hard
When you fall you fall hard
And if one fall it is is hard
You say we sit in the same boat
But we're rowing a rowing-boat
on our own
Yours is yours and ours is ours
You stand towards the sea
and we towards land
When you fall you fall hard
When you fall you fall hard
When you fall you fall hard
And if one fall it is hard

If We'll Make Love, Then We'll Make Love To Buddy Holly (Ska Vi Älska, Så Ska Vi Älska Till Buddy Holly)

On they way to the nirvana of the night
winding on an outside track
with a girl that looked like Jimmy Dean
and with demands that no one could divine
She said: If we'll make love
then we'll make love to rock'n'roll, aha
If we'll make love
then we'll make love to rock'n'roll
I put on Rolling Stones and "Satisfaction"
Elvis Costello and the Attractions
She said: What the hell, what is this?
What kind of modern shit's that?
Take out the 45's with a little bit action
Because If we'll make love
then we'll make love to Buddy Holly, aha
If we'll make love
then we'll make love to Buddy Holly
Cos he's my favourite, honey
But where were "Peggy Sue" and "It's so easy"
and "Guess it doesn't matter anymore"
She said: Too bad boy but that is my stile
I hope you understand
If we'll make love
then we'll make love to Buddy Holly, aha
If we'll make love
then we'll make love to Buddy Holly
If we'll make love
then we'll make love to Buddy Holly, aha
If we'll make love
then we'll make love to Buddy Holly

Gold (Guld)

The gold is glittering
fascinating and burning
One twists and one turns
to get into it's glitter
The wealth's splendour
One works and one toils endless hours
One really wants to live
and take care of one's chance
The wealth's splendour
One does the homework
Gold gives nobody nothing
Nothing
The gold is glittering
Enticing and ridiculing
One tramps and one yearns
to get into it's glitter
The wealth's splendour
The wealth's splendour

24 December

I stay here in the cold weather
the whole night
hear how the city is living
And if the city had been open
I would've gone somewhere
and drunk myself drunk
24 December
A wind like in September
Oh, tired like February
gone as November
No, I would've stayed at home
and passed everything that Christmas brings
And if I had money
I had bought your heart for me
24 December
A wind like in September
Oh, tired like February
gone as November

Oh Ziggy Stardust (where did you go to?) ( Åh Ziggy Stardust (var blev du av?)

I took off to Tony down towards the city to show my new stuff
and I ran right into the summer and his new girls
It was rock, it was peace
it was plastics and platform
and we were children of the revolution and could barely walk
And I sing Ziggy Stardust where did you go to?
And I sing Rock'n'roll where did you go to?
And I sing Ziggy Stardust where did you go to?
Rock'n'roll where did you go to?
Hey man. The mascara ran
And John, I just dance but I dance as hell
And it was 1973 and one wanted more
and the guys who played 1-2-3-4-5 years
And I sing Ziggy Stardust where did you go to?
And I sing Rock'n'roll where did you go to?
I sing Ziggy Stardust where did you go to?
Rock'n'roll where did you go to?
