Human Behaviour
If you ever get close to a human

And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there's no map
They're terribly moody
And human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh oh, and there's no map
Human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
And there's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human,
Human behaviour, human,
Human behaviour


Human, human
Human behaviour
Human.
Human, human, human, human.
Crying
I travel
All around the city
Go in and out of
Locomotives
All alone
There's no-one here

And people everywhere
Crying 'cause I need you
Crying I can feel you
Crying 'cause I care.
It's a hot day

And i'm dressed lightly
I move carefully
Through the crowd
Here everyone
Is so vulnerable
And i'm as well
There's no-one here

And people everywhere
Crying 'cause I care
Only if a ship would sail in

Or just someone came
And knocked at my door
Or just, or just something

Crying 'cause I care
Venus As A Boy
His wicked sense of humour

Suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her
Touches, he's venus as a boy.
He believes in beauty
He's venus as a boy
He's venus as a boy
He's exploring
The taste of her
Arousal

So accurate
He sets off
The beauty in her
He's venus as a boy
He's venus as a boy
He's venus as a boy
There’s More To Life Than This
Come on girl
Let's sneak out of this party
It's getting boring
There's more to life than this
It's still early morning

We could go down to the harbour
And jump between the boats
And see the sun come up
Sample : There's more to life than this

I could nick a boat

And sneak off to this island
I could bring my little ghettoblaster

But then we'd have to rush back
To the town's best baker
To get the first bread of the morning
There's more to life than this.
Sample : There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this X4
Like someone in love
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars

Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
And to sing like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me

Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings

Run into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love
Like someone in love, Like someone in love
Big Time Sensuality

I can sense it
Something important
Is about to happen
It's coming up.
It takes courage to enjoy it

The hardcore and the gentle
Big time sensuality.
We just met
And I know I'm a bit too intimate
But something huge is coming up
And we're both included.

Big time sensuality.
I don't know my future after this weekend

And I don't want to.

Big time sensuality
Sensuality
One Day
One day, it will happen

One day, one day
It will all come true.
One day, when you're ready

One day, one day
When you're up to it.
The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it.
One day, it will happen

One day, one day
It will all make sense.
One day, one day

You will blossom
One day, one day
When you're ready.
An aeroplane
Will curve gracefully
Around the volcano
With the eruption that never lets you down.
I can feel it, I can feel it,
And the beautifullest

Fireworks are burning
In the sky just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it
One day, one day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day, one day
Aeroplane

I can not live

Peacefully without you
For even a moment
I miss you terribly
When you're away
He's away
This ain't right
I'm alone
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart.
How come
Out of all the people in the world
Only one
Can make me complete
One word, one word on the phone
Makes me happy
One touch, but one touch directly
Makes me ecstatic
He's away
This ain't right
I'm alone
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart
Come To Me
Come to me
I'll take care of you
Protect you
Calm, calm down
You're exhausted
Come lie down
You don't have to explain
I understand
You know
That I adore you
You know
That I love you.
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm.
Jump off
Your building's on fire
And I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Destroy all that is keeping you back
And then i'll nurse you
I'll nurse you
I'll touch you
You know
That I adore you
You know
That I love you.
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm.

Violently Happy
Since I met you

This small town hasn't got room
For my big feelings
Violently happy
'Cause i love you
Violently happy
But you're not here
Violently happy
Come calm me down
Before I get into trouble
I tip-toe down to the shore

Stand by the ocean
Make it roar at me
And I roar back.
Violently happy
'Cause I love you
Violently happy
But you're not here
Violently happy
Overemotional
Violently happy
I'll get into trouble
Real soon
If you don't get here
Baby.
Violently happy
'Cause I love you
Violently happy
I'm aiming too high
Violently happy
It will get me into trouble
Violently happy
I'm driving my car
Too fast
With ecstatic music on.
Violently happy

I'm getting too drunk

Violently happy
I'm daring people
To jump off roofs with me
Only you
Can clam me down
I'm aiming too high
Soothe me
The Anchor Song
I live by the ocean

And during the night
I dive into it
Down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
And drop my anchor
This is where I'm staying
This is my home
I live by the ocean

I dive into it
Down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
And drop my anchor
This is where I'm staying
This is my home
Play Dead
Darling stop confusing me

With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this
I belong to here where
No-one cares and no-one loves
No light no air to live in
A place called hate
The city of fear
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
And the hurting stops
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress every ache
I play dead,
It stops the hurting

Post
Army of me
Stand up
You've got to manage
I won't sympathize
Anymore.
And if you complain once more

You'll meet an army of me
You're alright
There's nothing wrong
Self-sufficience please!
And get to work.

Army of me
You're on your own now

We won't save you
Your rescue-squad
Is to exhausted

Army of me
Hyper-ballad
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off

Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery

Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way to start the day
I go through all this

Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Before you wake up
It's real early morning

No-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

Before you wake up

Before you wake up

Before you wake up
Safe up ( here with you ) ...
The modern things
All the modern things All the modern things

Like cars and such Like cars and such

*** Translations and transcripts by Tom Brenner ***
It’s oh so quiet
Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...
You fall in love

Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then
Shhh, Shhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom

The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what's the use, wow bam
Of falling in love
It's, oh, so quiet

It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...

You ring the bell, bim bam

You shout and you yell, hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it
'Til it's over and then

It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse

Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
What's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love
The sky caves in

The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
When you've fallen in love
Ssshhhhhh...
Enjoy
I wish: I want to stay here

I wish: this be enough
I wish: I only love you
I wish: simplicity
Look at the speed out there

It magnetizes me to it
And I have no fear
I'm only into this to
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
I wish I'd only look

And didn't have to touch
I wish I'd only smell this
And didn't have to taste
How can I ignore?
This is sex without touching
I'm going to explore
I'm only into this to
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
You’ve been flirting again
All that she said was true

Give her some time
Give her some space
All that she meant was good

Give her some time

Give her some space

How you reacted was right

Give her some time
Give her some space
Isobel
In a forest pitch-dark
Glowed the tiniest spark
It burst into flame
Like me, like me
My name isobel
Married to myself
My love isobel
Living by herself
In a heart full of dust

Lives a creature called lust
It surprises and scares
Like me,like me
My name isobel
Married to myself
My love isobel
Living by herself
When she does it she means to

Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
Nana na nana, nana na nana

In a tower of steel
Nature forges a deal
To raise wonderful hell
Like me, like me
My name isobel
Married to myself
My love isobel
Living by herself
When she does it she means to

Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse

Possibly maybe
Your flirt finds me out

Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe.
As much as I definitely enjoy solitude

I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes, sometimes
Possibly maybe probably love

Uncertainty excites me
Baby
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you'll join a cult
Probably maybe, possibly love

This is probably maybe, possibly love, possibly
Mon petit vulcan

You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
Admiring the lava
I keep calm

Electric shocks?
I love them
With you dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is he ?

How can you offer me love like that?

My heart's burned
I'm exhausted
Leave me alone

Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe.
Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I'll suck my tongue
In remembrance of you
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe

I miss you
I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
So special
But it hasn't happened yet
You are gorgeous
I remember
And if you believe in dreams

Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I, I will meet you
I was peaking

I haven't been given
My best souvenir
I miss you
I know your habits
But wouldn't recognize you yet

I miss you
I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
When will I get my cuddle?
Who are you?
I know by now that you'll arrive
By the time I stop waiting
I miss you
Cover me
While I crawl into the unknown

Cover me
I'm going hunting for mysteries

Cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists

This is really dangerous
Cover me
But worth all the effort

Cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists

Headphones
Genius to fall asleep to your tape last night

So warm
Sounds go through the muscles
These abstract wordless
Movements, move move move move move.
They start off cells that haven't been touched before
These cells are virgins
Waking up slowly
My headphones
They saved my life
Your tape
It lulled me to sleep
To sleep, to sleep
Nothing will be the same

I'm fast asleep
I like this resonance
It elevates me
I don't recognize myself
This is very interesting
My headphones
They saved my life
Your tape
To sleep, to sleep
I'm fast asleep now
I'm fast asleep
My headphones
They saved my life
Your tape
To sleep, to sleep.

My spine
I adore
Back of necks
Beautifully shaven
Gives me,
Always, always, always, always, always, always,
A pretty rush down my spine
All those boys

With fascinating fingers
Working creating
Touching their tools
Gives me,
Always, always, always, always, always, always,

Huh
Tell me stories
Play me the tunes
That crack you up
Gives me,
Always, always, always, always, always, always, always,
Hah!
I miss you
Björk :
I miss you
You are gorgeous
You are gorgeous
I remember
So special
I will meet you
I was peaking
I haven't been giving
My best souvenir
I miss you
I know your habits
But wouldn't regonize you yet
I, I, I, I miss you
Rodney P :
I had a dream that I was missing you indeed

And if I miss you then you know that I'll be there with speed
I got that mister cool vibe for your mind, believe
I've never seen you but I've seen you've got the vibes I need
That's why I miss you, try to dismiss you, from my mind
Only for people often miss you but I seek to find
You gotta send me an emotion or a sign
Cause even though when all things must reveal in time
Still I miss you
Björk :
Miss you
I get so impatient
I can't stand the wait
When will I get my cuddle
Who are you?
I know by now that you'll arrive
By the time I stop waiting
Aaaaahhhhhhh Miss you
I miss you
So I miss you

I miss you
....
I miss you, miss you, miss you
...
I miss you....miss you

All these accidents,

That happen,
Follow the dot,
Coincidence,
Makes sense,
Only with you,
You don't have to speak,
I feel.
Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this
State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.
All that no-one sees,

You see,
What's inside of me,
Every nerve that hurts,
You heal,
Deep inside of me, oo-oohh,
You don't have to speak,
I feel.
They puzzle me - confuse,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,
They puzzle me,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,
State of, state of,
How beautiful,
Emergency,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,
State of emergency,

How beautiful to be.
Unravel
While you are away

My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back

We'll have to make new love
When you come back

While you are away

My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love, our love,
In a ball of yarn
When you come back

When you come back

When you come back

Bachelorette
I'm a fountain of blood

In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl
Drink me, make me feel real

Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream
Leave me now, return tonight

Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a path of cinders

Burning under your feet

You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street
I'm a whisper in water

Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near
Leave me now, return tonight

The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a tree that grows hearts

One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break
Hum-yeah!
** Icelandic part **
All neon like
Not 'til you halo all over me

I'll come over
Not 'til it shimmers 'round your skull
I'll be yours
I weave for you

The marvellous web
Glow in the dark threads
All neon like

The cocoon surrounds you

Embraces all
So you can sleep
Foetus-style
And they will assist us

'Cause we're asking for help
And the luminous beam
It feeds you,
Henh-yeah!, henh-yeah
The soft distortion

Fills you up
Nourish nourish
Your turtleheart
And they will assist us

'Cause we're asking for help
It feeds you
Henh-yeah!, yeah!
Don't get angry with yourself

Don't, don't get angry with yourself
I'll heal you
With a razorblade
I'll cut a slit open
Feeds you honey, heals you
Don't get angry with yourself X4
I'll heal you, i'll heal you, luminous, i'll heal you
5 years
You think you're denying me of something

Well I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice
'Til after five years
If you'll live that long
You'll wake up
All loveless
I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms
I'm so bored with cowards

That say they want
Then they can't handle
You can't handle love

You just can't handle
I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
What's so scary ?

Not a threat in sight

You just can't handle
You can't handle love, baby

It's obvious
You can't handle
I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
I'm so bored of cowards

That say they want
Then they can't handle
You can't handle love, baby

You can't handle love,
It's obvious
You can't handle
I dare you, I dare you

I dare you, I dare you
Immature
How could I be so immature ?

To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me

To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me.

Alarm call
Wo-oo-ooh hoh!
I have walked this earth

And watched people
It doesnt scare me at all
I can be sinsere
And say I like them
An-bithelafter-mer
An-yeah-hoh-oh
An-be-ja-a-a-ha-ha
You can't say no to hope

Can't say no to happiness
I want to go on a mountain-top
With a radio and good batteries

And play a joyous tune and

Free the human race
From suffering
I'm no fucking buddhist

But this is enlightenment
The less room you give me

The more space I've got
An-chamel-after
An-yeah-hoh-oh
An-be-ja-a-a-ha-ha

Can't say no to happiness
I want to be on a mountain-top
With a radio and good batteries
And play a joyous tune and
Free the
A-human race
From suffering
This is an alarm-call
So wake-up, wake-up now
Woo-oo-ooh!
Today has never happened
And it doesnt frighten me
An-bithel-after
An-yeah-hoh-oh
An-che-ja-a-a-ha-ha

You can't say no to happiness
Wo-oo-ooh!
It doesnt scare me at all, wo-oo-ooh! ....
Pluto
Excuse me
But I just have to
Explode
Explode this body
Off me
Woo-ooh
Oooooh (x4)
I'll be brand new

Brand new tomorrow
A little bit tired
But brand new

OOoooh! X3
Aaaaah! X13
Aaaaaah!
Woaahh!!!
All is full of love
You'll be given love

You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it
Maybe not from the sources

You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at
Twist your head around

It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you
All is full of love

You just aint receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!
All is full of love, all is full of love
All is full of love, all is full of love ...

Cvalda
Björk :
Clatter, crash, clack

Racket, bang, thump

Rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam!
It's music
Now dance
Listen, Cvalda
You're the dancer
You got the sparkle
In your eyes
Look at me entrancer

Racket, bang, thump
It's the clatter machines

They greet you
And say
We tap out a rhythm
And sweep you away
A clatter machine
What a magical sound
A room full of noises
That spins you around
Catherine Deneuve :
Darling, Selma
Look who's dancing
Faster than a
Shooting star
Cvalda's here
Cvalda sings
Björk :
Racket, bang, thump
It's the clatter machines

They greet you
And say
We tap out a rhythm
And sweep you away
A clatter machine
What a magical sound
And full of noises
That spins us around
That spins us around
It spins us around

I've Seen It All
Björk
I've seen it all
I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves
Dancing in the breeze
Tom Yorke
I've seen a man killed
By his best friend,
And lives that were over
Before they were spent.
Björk & Tom Yorke

I've seen what I was
And I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
There is no more to see
Björk
You haven't seen elephants
Kings or Peru
Tom Yorke
I'm happy to say
I had better to do
Björk
What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?
Tom Yorke
All walls are great
If the roof doesn't fall
And the man you will marry
The home you will share
Björk

To be honest
I really don't care
[gibberish]
Tom Yorke
You've never been
To Niagara Falls
Björk
I have seen water
It's water, that's all
Tom Yorke
The Eiffel Tower
The Empire State
Björk
My pulse was as high
On my very first date
Tom Yorke
And your grandson's hand
As he plays with your hair
Björk
To be honest
I really don't care
[gibberish]
Björk & Yorke

I've seen it all
I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness
In one little spark
I've seen what I chose
And I've seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I've seen what I was
And I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
Tom Yorke
You've seen it all
And all you have seen
You can always review on
Your own little screen
The light and the dark
The big and the small
Just keep in mind
You need no more at all
Björk & Tom Yorke

You've seen what you were
And know what you'll be
You've seen it all
[gibberish]

Scatterheart
Black night is falling

The sun is gone to bed
The innocent are dreaming
As you should sleepy-head
Sleepy-head, sleepy-head
All the love above

I send into you
Comfort and protection
I'll watch over you
But don't ask me
What's gonna happen next
I know the future
I'd love to lead you the way
Just to make it easier on you
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

My
Dearest
Scatterheart
There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane

All the hurt in the world

You know
There's nothing I'd love to do more
Than spare you from that burden
It's gonna be hard
If I only could
Shelter you
From that pain



In The Musicals
Why do I love it so much?

What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore it?

It's just another musical
No one minds it at all

If I'm having a ball
This is a musical
And there is always someone to catch me

There is always someone to catch me
When I'd fall
Why do I love you so much?

What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore you?

You are in a musical
I didn't mind it at all

You were having a ball
This is a musical
And you were always there to catch me

You were always there to catch me
When I'd fall
I don't mind it at all

If you're having a ball
This is a musical
And I'll always be there to catch you

I will always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I will always be there to catch you

You always be there to catch me

And there's always someone to catch me
You always be there to catch me
You always there to catch me

If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder, I wonder
What happen's next?
A new world
A new day to see
See, see
I'm softly walking on air

Halfway to heaven frontier

Sunlight unfolds in my hair
Ooooh I'm walking on air
Ooooh to heaven frontier

In wonder, I wonder
What happens next?

A new day to see

Vespertine
Hidden Place
Through the warmthest

Cord of care
Your love was sent to me
I'm not sure

What to do with it
Or where to put it
I'm so close to tear

And so close to
Simply calling you up
And simply suggesting
We go to the hidden place

That we go to the hidden place
We go to the hidden place
We go to a hidden place
Now I have

Been slightly shy

And I can smell a pinch of hope
To almost have allowed once fingers
To stroke
The fingers I was given to touch with
But careful, careful
There lies my passion, hidden
There lies my love
I'll hide it under a blanket
Lull it to sleep
I'll keep it in a hidden place

I'll keep it in a hidden place
Keep it in a hidden place
Keep it in a hidden place
He's
The beautifullest
Fragilest
Still strong
Dark and divine
And the littleness of his movements
Hides himself
He invents a charm
That makes him invisible
Hides in the air
Can I hide there too?
Hide in the air of him
Seek solace
Sanctuary
In that hidden place

In a hidden place
In a hidden place
We'll stay in a hidden place
Ooohh in a hidden place
We'll live in a hidden place
We'll be in a hidden place
In a hidden place

Cocoon
...
Who would have known

That a boy like him
Would have entered me lightly
Restoring my blisses

That a boy like him
After sharing my core
Would stay going nowhere

A beauty this immense
A saintly trance
Miraculous breath
To inhale a beard
Loaded with courage

That a boy like him
Possessed of magical
Sensitivity
Would approach a girl like me
Who caresses cradles his head
In a bosom
He slides inside
Half awake, half asleep
We faint back
Into sleephood
When I wake up
The second time
In his arms
Gorgeousness
He's still inside me

Who ahhh
A train of pearls
Cabin by cabin
Is shot precisely
Across an ocean
From a mouth
From a
From the mouth
Of a girl like me
To a boy
To a boy
To a boy
It's Not Up To You
I wake up
And the day feels
Broken
I tilt my head
I'm trying to get an angle

'Cause the evening

I've always longed for
It could still happen
How do I master
The perfect day
Six glasses of water
Seven phonecalls
If you leave it alone

It might just happen
Anyway
It's not up to you

Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you
If you wake up
And the day feels
Ah broken
Just lean into the crack
(Just lean into the crack)
And it will tremble
Ever so nicely
Notice
How it sparkles
Down there
I can decide
What I give
But it's not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
About to happen
But what they are
It's not up to you

Well it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Oh, me, share
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Oh, it never really was
It's not up to you
Well, it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you

Clinging
To peak
There's too much
Pressure

It's not meant to be a strife

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill
Oh I

You're trying too hard

Surrender
Give yourself in
You're trying too hard
You're trying too hard, ah

Sweetly
To enjoy
It's not meant to be a stuggle uphill
Oh I
It's warmer now

Lean into it
Unfold
Unfold in a generous way
Surrender
It's not meant to be a srife (surrender)

It's not meant (undo) to be a struggle uphill (undo)
I'm praying
To be
In a generous mode
The kindness kind
The kindness kind
To share

To share me

Pagan Poetry

Pedalling through
The dark currents
I find
An accurate copy
A blueprint
Of the pleasure
In me
Swirling black lilies totally ripe

A secret code carved
A secret code carved
He offers
A handshake
Crooked
Five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched
On the surface simplicity

But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry
Morsecoding signals (signals)

They pulsate (wake me up) and wake me up
(pulsate) from my hibernate
On the surface simplicity

But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

....
I love him, I love him

She loves him, she loves him
This time
I'm gonna keep it to myself
This time
I'm gonna keep me all to myself
And he makes me want to hand myself over
And he makes me want to hand myself over

Treading
The glacier head

Looking hard for

Moments of shine
From twilight
To twilight
Ahhhhh...
Utter mundane
Aurora
Goddess sparkle
Shoot me
Beyond this suffer
The need
Is great
Aurora
Ahhhh...
Utter mundane
Aurora
Goddess sparkle
A mountain shade
Suggests your shape
I tumbled down
On my knees
Fill the mouth
With snow
The way it melts
I wish
To melt
Into you
Aurora
Ahhh...
Utter mundane
Spark the sun off

Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off me
An echo a stain
She touched
My arm
And smiled
One of these days

Soon
Very soon
Love you 'til then
Love you 'til then
Feel my breath
On your neck
And your heart
Will race
Don't say no to me
You can't say no to me
I won't see you
Denied
I'm sorry you saw that

I'm sorry he did it
An echo
A stain
A stain

I can't say no to you

I can't say no to you
Say nothing
Free falling
Complete
Sun in My Mouth
( From the poem "Wade" by E.E. Cummings )
I will wade out

Till my thighs are steeped
In burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
And leap into the ripe air
Alive with closed eyes
To dash against darkness
In the sleeping curves of my body

Shall enter fingers
Of smooth mastery
With chasteness of sea-girls
Will I complete the mystery
Of my flesh
Will I complete the mystery
Of my flesh
My flesh
Heirloom
( Original from : Console - Rocket In The Pocket : Crabcraft )
I have a recurrent dream

Everytime I loose my voice
I swallow little glowing lights
My mother and son baked for me

They do a trapeze walk
Until they're in the sky
Right above my bed
While I'm asleep

My mother and son pour into me
Warm glowing oil
Into my wide open throat

Everytime I feel a hoarseness
I swallow warm glowing lights
My mother and son baked for me, oh
They make me feel so much better

They make me feel better
We have a recurrent dream

Everytime we loose our voices
We dream swallow little lights
Our mother and son bake for us
During the night

They do a little trapeze walk

Until they're in the sky

Right above our heads
While we're asleep
My mother and son pour into us
Pour into us
Warm glowing oil
Into our wide open throats

Harm of will
If there is a troubador washing

It is he
If there is a man about town
It is he
If there is one to be sought
It is he
If there are nine she is
They are bought for me
This way is as is she

And he placed her
Unclothed
Long long longlegged
Atop of the family tree
And if he has chosen the point

While she is under him
Then leave her coily placed crouched sucking him
For it is I with
Her on knee
*** Icelandic part ***
I leave her
Without pith or feel
And leave her be
Leave her be
For he controls what there´ll be
He makes his face known to none
For if he is seen
Then all will
And all will know
Know me
Unison
One hand love the other

So much on me
Born stubborn me
Will always be
Before you count
One two three
I will have grown my own private branch
Of this tree
You gardener
You discipliner

Domestically
I can obey all of your rules
And still be, be
I never thought I would compromise

Let's unite tonight

We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight
I thrive best hermit style

With a beard and a pipe
And a parrot on each side
But now I can't do this without you

Let's unite tonight

We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight
One hand love the other

So much on me
Let's unite tonight

We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight
Let's unite tonight

We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's
Ooohhhh ooohh

Pleasure is all mine
The pleasure is all mine

To get to be the generous one
Is the strongest stance

To finally let go and evenly
Be flown
Who gives most

Who gives most
Who gives most


Women like us we strengthen most host-like
When in doubt, give

When in doubt, give
When in doubt, give
Show me forgiveness
Show me forgiveness
For having lost faith in myself
And let my own interior up
To inferior forces
The shame is endless
But if soon start forgiveness
The girl might live
Where is the line
Where is the line with you

Where is the -- line - with you
My purse wide open

you ask again
I see the crime and cash into
Accounts
Everywhere

Where is the line -- with you
Where is the -- line with you
I want to be flexible
I want to go out of my way for you
But enough is enough

I am elastic
I want to
Go out of my way for you
I want to
Help
Help you

Where is the line - with you
I want to
Have
Capacity
For you and be elastic
Love
To be elastic
E-la-stic for


Where is the line - with you
Where -- is the line with you
I'm elastic for you

Bærinn minn My farm

Bærinn minn og þinn My farm and yours
Sefur sæll í kyrrð Sleeps happily at peace
Fellur mjöll Falls snow
Hljótt í húmi á jörð Silent at dusk on earth
Grasið mitt My grass
Grasið mitt og þitt My grass and yours
Geymir mold til vors Keeps the earth til spring
Hjúfrar lind Nesting spring

Leynt við brekkurót Hid at the hill's root
Vakir eins og við Awake as are we
Lífi trútt Faith in life
Kyrrlátt kalda vermsl Quiet cold spring
Augum djúps Eye of the depths
Utí himinfyrrð Into the firmament
Starir stillt um nótt Staring still in the night
Langt í burt Far away

Vakir veröld stór Wakes the great world
Grimmum töfrum tryllt Mad with grim enchantment
Eirðarlaus Disquieted
Ottast nótt og dag Fearful of night and day
Augu þín Your eyes
Ottalaus og hrein Fearless and serene
Brosa við mér björt Smile bright at me
Vonin mín My hope

Blessað brosið þitt Your blest smile
Vekur ljóð úr værð Rouses verse from sleep
Hvílist jörð The earths rests
Hljóð í örmum snæs Silent in arms of snow

Who is it ?
His embrace, a fortress

It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
If you ask yourself

Patiently
And carefully
Who is it?
Who is it?

Who is it - that never lets you down?

Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are
They're going around
Now they're handing it over
They're handing it over
Handing it over

Now -- they're handing it over
Handing it over
He demands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
Carry my joy on the left
Carry my pain on the right
If you ask yourself

Now patiently
And carefully
Who is it?

And I'm handing it over
Handing it over
Handing

Now I'm handing it over
Handing it over
Oceanía
One breath away

From Mother Oceania
Your nimble feet make prints
In my sand
You have done

Good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily

Every pearl is a lynx is a girl
Sweet like harmony

Made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents

I see the islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes

Hawks and sparrows

Race in my waters
Stingrays are floating
Across the sky
Little ones
My sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty - I am why
I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty - I am why
I am why
I am why
Submarine
When will it be time

To document
Do it now!
This submarine behaviour
Do it now!
When time?
To return
Do it now!
Do it now!
Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Shake us now!
Do it now!
Do it now!
Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Do it now!
Sonnets / unrealities xi
( E.E. Cummings Poem - 'it may not always be so' )
It may not always be so

And I say
And if your lips
Which I have loved
Should touch another's
And your dear strong fingers clutch
Her heart
As mine in time
Not far away
If on another's face your sweet hair lay

In such a silence
As I know
Or such great writhing words
As, uttering overmuch
Stand helpelessly before the spirit at bay
If this should be
I say
If this should be
You of my heart
Send me a little word
That I may go
Unto her
And take her hands
Saying
Accept all happiness from me

Then I shall turn my face

And hear one bird
Sing terribly afar
In the lost lands
Desired constellation
It's tricky when

You feel someone
Has done
Something on your behalf
It's slippery when

Your sense of justice
Murmurs underneath
And is asking you

How am I going to make it right?
With a palm full of stars

I throw them like dice
(repeatedly)
On the table
(repeat - repeatedly)
I shake them like dice
And throw them on the table
Repeatedly
(repeatedly)
Until the desired constellation appears

(And you hear - how am I going to make it right?)

(How am I going to make it right?)
Mouth's cradle
There is yet
Another one
That follows me
Wherever I go
And supports me
Ah, this tooth is warmthlike
This tooth is warmthlike
This tooth is warmthlike
And these teeth

Are
A ladder up to his mouth
All these teeth are a ladder
That I walk
That you can walk to
If you want
If you want, up to
The mouth, mouth's cradle
Up to the mouth's cradle
He always has a hope for me

Always sees me when nothing else

And everyone have left
Can care
That ghost is brighter than anyone
And fulfills me with hope
Those beams assure me
And you can use

These teeth
As a
Ladder up to
Mouths cradle
The mouths cradle
And you can follow
These notes I'm singing
Up to the mouth's cradle
The mouth's cradle
The simplicity of the ghostlike beast

The purity of what he wants
And where it goes
Always love
Always loves you
Always loves with, infrared love
And you can use

Those teeth
As a ladder up to
Mouth's cradle
Mouth's cradle
You can use
Those teeth
Follow my voice
Tooth by tooth
Up to the
Mouth's cradle
The mouth's cradle
I need a shelter to build an altar

Away from all the Osama's and Bushes
I need a shelter to, to build an altar

Away from all the Osama's and Bushes
Triumph of a heart
The nerves are sending

Shimmering signals
All through my fingers
The veins support
Blood that gushes
Pulsively towards
The triumph of a heart - that gives all : that gives all

The stubborn trunks

Of these legs of mine
Serve as pathways
For my favourite fuel
Heading upwards towards
My kidneys


Smooth
Soft, red
Velvety lungs
Are pushing a network
Of oxygen joyfully
Through a nose
Through a mouth
But all enjoys
All enjoys

Komid
( Japanese Bonus Track )
It means COME in Icelandic.

She sings her infamous "alt sem hann sér" which is a based on her native Icelandic.
It is said to mean something like "everything that he sees."
The song is sung in gibberish. She does sing "hún er komið", which is Icelandic for "she is coming."
But to be grammatically correct, it would be "hún hefur komið" or "hún kom"

Arabadrengurinn The Arabian Boy
Þhad var i naeturlestinni i Kairo It was in the nighttrain in Cairo

Þhar sem eg hitti arabadreng Where I found an arabian boy
Sem sidan aldrei ur huga mer hverfur Who since that day never left my thoughts
I love him
Ég elska hann
He told me stories from his past
Hann sagdi sogur af ulfalda sinum And sang of the water in the oasis and rivers
Og Song um vatnid i vinjum og am He drew pictures with magical lines
Hann bra upp myndum med tofrandi linum I love him
ég elska hann
There was spring and sun
Thad var vor og sol The next day left
Dagin eftir for I to look for him
Ég ad hitta hann
We went down the Nile

We didn't need a car

Við forum nidr' ad nil Just a dromedary
Við þurftum engan bíl
Aðeins úlfaldann He went and showed me the pyramids
Right by edge of Sahara sands
Hann for og syndi mer pyramida And his eyes shone by the white stones
Rett vid jadar Sahara sands I love him
Og aug'ans lystu vid steinana hvita
By the bank of the Nile we walked and sang
Ég elska Hann
About lifes joy, beauty and love
A nilarbokkum vid gendum og sungum I´m inspired by other languages
I love him
Um lifsins gledi, fegurd og ast
Ég fylltist anda ur framandi tungum There was spring and sun
Ég elska Hann Birds sung in choir
I look for him
Thad var vor og sol
Fuglar sungu i kor We went down the Nile
Ég ad hitta hann We didn't need a car
Just a dromedary
Vid forum nidr' ad nil
Vvið þurftum engan bíl He left me with tears in his eyes
Aðeins úlfaldann On the railway station that day
When I was burning of love
Hann kvaddi med med tarvotum augum I knew I would never see him again
A lestarstodinni daginn thann
I often dream of my fair boy
Er ástin brann svo heitt i minum taugum And life is sweet in his presence
Ég vissi eg sæi aldrei aftur hann He has grown, because the years go by
I love him
Mig dreymir oft um drenginn minn frida
Og tha er lifid ljuft i nalægd hans Here back in Iceland i cried in lonliness
Hann hefur stækkad, thvi árin thau lida And searched for marks to remind me of him
Ég elska hann I see his face in sticks and stones
I love him
Her uppa Islandi græt eg i leynum
Og leita' ad merkjum sem minna a hann There was spring and sun
Ég se hans andlit i stokkum og steinum The next day went
Ég elska Hann I to look for him ...
Thad var vor og sol We went down the Nile

Dagin eftir for
Just a dromedary
Ég ad hitta hann
He left me with tears in his eyes
On the railway station that day
Vid purftum engan bil When I was burning of love
Adeins Ulfaldann I knew I would never see him again
Hann kvaddi med med tarvotum augum I often dream of my fair boy
A lestarstodinni daginn thann And life is sweet in his presence

Einsamall a hol Lonely on a hill
Naunginn Undarlegi, The strange guy

Miscellaneous 1977 Tracks

I love to love
( 1977 Radio show / Tina Charles Cover )
Oh, I love to love

But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance
He loves to dance
He got to dance
Oh, I love to love

Oh, I love to love

But there's no time for a romance
No, no ,no
Oh, I love to love

The minute
The band begins to swing it
He's on his feet to shake it
And dance the night away
Stop!
I'm spinning like a top
We dance until we drop
But if i have my way
Oh, I love to love

He wants to dance

He loves to dance
He got to dance
Oh, I love to love

Oh, I love to love

But he won't give our love a chance
No,no ,no
Oh, I love to love

Stop!
I'm spinning like a top
We dance until we stop
But if i have my way
Stop, Stop!
Instead of going down, down
We better go home and get down
But what im trying to say
I love to love
Yeah yeah
I love to love
Yeah yeah
I love to love
Yes he does
Jólasveinar Santa Claus
( 1977 Radio show ) ( Translation )
Jólasveinar gang'um gólf Christmasmen walk around

með gylltan staf í hendi with a golden cane in hand
móðir þeirra sópar gólf their mother sweeps the ground

og flengir þá með vendi and spanks them with a wand
upp á stól stendur mín kanna Upon a chair stands my jar

níu nóttum fyrir jól nine nights before christmas
þá kem ég til manna I'll come to the village
upp á stól stendur mín kanna Upon a chair stands my jar

níu nóttum fyrir jól nine nights before christmas
þá kem ég til manna I'll come to the village

Jólakötturinn The Christmas Cat
( Icelandic christmas-compilation ) ( Translation )
Þið kannizt við jólaköttinn You know the christmas cat

- sá köttur var griðarstór - that cat is very large
Fólk vissi'ekki hvaðan hann kom We dont know where he came from
eða hvert hann fór nor where he has gone
Hann glennti upp glyrnurnar sinar He opened his eyes widely

glóandi báðar tvær glowing both of them
Það var ekki heiglum hent it was not for cowards
að horfa í þær to look into them
Kamparnir beittir sem broddar His hair sharp as needles

upp úr bakinu kryppna há his back was high and bulgy

og klærnar à loðinni löpp and claws on his hairy paw
var ljótt að sjá were not a pretty sight
Því var það, að konurnar kepptust Therefore the women competed

við kamba og vefstól og rokk to rock and sow and spin
og prjónuðu litfagran lepp and knitted colorful clothes
eða lítin sokk or one little sock
Þvi kötturinn mátti' ekki koma For the cat could not come
og krækja í börnin smá and get the little children
Þau urðu að fásína flík they had to get new clothes
þeim fullorðnu hjá from the grownups
Og er kveikt var á jólakvöldið When christmas eve was lighted

og kötturin gægðist inn and the cat looked inside
stóðu börnin bísperrt og rjóð the children stood straight and red-cheeked
með böggulinn sinn with their presents
Hann veifaði stélinu sterka He waved his strong tail

hann stökk og hann klóraði' og blés he jumped, scratched and blew
og var ýmist uppi í dal and was either in the valley
eða úti' um nes or out on the headland
Hann sveimaði, soltinn og grimmur He walked about, hungry and mean

í sárköldum jólasnæ in hurtfully cold christmas snow
og vakti í hjörtunum hroll and kindled the hearts with fear
á hverjum bæ in every town
Ef mjálmað var aumlega úti If outside one heard a weak "meaow"

var ólukkan samstundis vís then unluck was sure to happen
Allir vissu' að hann veiddi menn all knew he hunted men
en vildi ekki mýs and didnt want mice
Hann lagðist á fátæka fólkið He followed the poorer people

sem fékk enga nýja spjör who didnt get any new clothing
fyrir jólin - og baslaði og bjó near christmas - and tried and lived
við bágust kjör in poorest conditions
Frá því tók hann ætið í einu From them he took at the same time
allan þess jólamat all their christmas food
og át það svo oftast nær sjálft and ate them also themselves
ef hann gat if he could
Því var það, að konurnar kepptust Therefore the women competed

við kamba og vefstól og rokk to rock and sow and spin
og prjónuðu litfagran lepp and knitted colorful clothes
eða lítin sokk or one little sock
Sum höfðe fengið svuntu Some had gotten an apron

og sum höfðu fengið skó and some had got a new shoe
eða eitthvað, sem þótti þarft or anything that was needful
en þad var nóg but that was enough
Þvi kisa máti' engan eta For pussy should not eat no-one
sem einhverja flíkina hlaut who got some new piece of clothes
Hún hvæsti þá heldur ljót She hissed with her ugly voice
og hljóp á braut and ran away
Hvort enn er hún til, veit ég ekki If she still exists I dont know
en aum yrði hennar för but for nothing would be his trip
ef allir eignuðust næst if everybody would get next christmas
einhverja spjör some new rag
Þið hafið nú kannske í huga You may want to keep it in mind

að hjálpa, ef þörf verður á to help if there is need
máske enn finnist einhver börn for somewhere there might be children
sem ekkert fá who get nothing at all
Máske, að leitin að þeim sem líða Mayhaps that looking for those who suffer
af ljósskorti heims um ból from lack of plentiful lights
gefi ykkur góðan dag will give you a happy season

og gleðileg jól and merry christmas
Other side of the sun
( Janis Joplin Cover - 1980 )
Leaving on a boat for beyond the other side of the ocean

Bet you in the morning you won't even know i'm gone
Tired of living here in the middle of mixed emotion
Might as well be living on the other side of the sun
Leaving with the feeling i don't know how i'm dealing with loving you
Though once i knew
The special way
And what to do
To make you stay
Forever and ever
Even as i'm leaving i'll never stop believing you are the one
Who can make me laugh
And can bring me back
From beyond the other side of the sun
Rolling down the river i hope i can deliver the morning

Wishing on a star for the sun to come out to play
Funny, when it's over you really don't remember the warning
Might as well be living out beyond the milky way

Ástatröfrar Love magic

Oft with Cupid have I quarreled
Oft vid Amor hef ég átt í erjum
But never taken such a blow
En aldrei hlotid slíkan skell
He aimed his arrows at me
Hann sínum orvum ad mér beindi
And it was I who fell
Og thad var ég sem féll
Oft vid Amor hef ég átt í erjum
When upon me his magic falls

Love owns my thoughts and again I
Astin á nú hug minn og attur get ég

Eg féll ad fótum thér Forgive me for I love you
Fyrirgefdu mér ad ég skuli unna thér I am conquered completely
Ég yfirunnin alveg er And you alone can save me
Og einn thú getur bjargad mér
Oft vid Amor het ég att í erjum But never taken such a blow

Mama - are you awake my mama?
Mamma - ertu vakandi mamma mín?
Mama - I want to come close to you
Mamma - ég vil koma til thín
O mama, it would be so fun to be grown
Ó mamma - gaman væri ad vera stór
I would conduct an orchestra and choir
Tha vildi ég stjórna bædi hljómsveit og kór
Mama - You are so sweet, my mama
Mamma - thú ert elskuleg, mamma mín
I like coming closer to you
Mér finnst, gott ad koma til thín
Oh but Mama, earlier I dreamt a dream of you
Ó en mamma ádan dreymdi mig draum um thig
I fell out of bed, and it upset me so.
En datt thá framúr, og thad trufladi mig
You were a queen in a tall palace
Thú varst drottning í hárri höll The band elves, men, and trolls
Hljómsveitin álfar, menn, og tröll Played for you and sang
Lék thér og söng í senn You were so magnificent
Thú varst svo stórfengleg The trolls they pounded the drums
Tröllin thau bördu á bumburnar Flower-elves played the flutes
Blómálfar léku á flauturnar The violins human beings
Fidlurnar mennskir menn The mandolin I
A mendólín ég Mama.
Mamma.
We all gazed up at you
Allir mændum vid upp til thín Like flowers when the sun shines
Eins og blóm thegar sólin skín And from your embrace
Er thínum fadmi frá Gifts everywhere flew
Gjafir flugu um allt
Most easily caught theirs
Flestum gekk vel ad gripa sitt Gladly I quickly caught mine
Gladur nádi ég fljótt í mitt But the chair on which I perched
En stóll er steig ég á Tipped over and fell
Stód tæpt svo hann valt
Mama - You are so sweet, my mama
Ó mamma- thú ert elskuleg mamma mín I like coming close to you
Mér finnst gott ad koma til thín O mama, it would be so fun to be grown
Ó mamma - gaman væri ad vera stór I would conduct an orchestra and choir
Thá vildi ég stjórna bædi hljómsveit og kór
Það Sést Ekki Sætari Mey There is no sweeter girl
It was quite a delay
Thad lenti í drætti
When my mother had me
Ad módir mín mig ætti
But then she's such a slender sort
Thvi hún var svo gískid grey
En læknrinn var sóttur The doctor was fetched

Og loksins ól hún dóttur And finally her daughter was born
Og thád sést ekki sætari mey And none had ever seen a sweeter girl
My father spent usually

En pabbi var sjaálfur
His time at sea half-drunk
A sjónum alltaf hálfur
But he could not deny me
Svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei
At first he was rather shocked
Fyrst var hann mjög sleginn
But then he said, relieved
En seinna sagdi hann feginn
None shall ever see a sweeter girl
Ad thad sést ekki sætari mey
Such a sweet girl
Sætari mey Such a sweet girl
Sætari mey There is no sweeter girl
Nei thad sést ekki sætari mey
Before I knew it
Og fyrr en mig vardi Every boy would gaze at me
Hver strákur á mig stardi As girls gaze at Forget-Me-Nots
Eins og stelpur á gleym-mér-ei
They'd shiver
Their fóru ad skjálfa And say to themselves
Og sögdu vid sig sjálfa She's hard to get -
Hún er sorglega stygg But very loyal, I think
En mjóg trygg, ad ég hygg And there is no sweeter girl
Og thad sést ekki sætari mey
I learned quite early
Ég lærdi i bernsku To speak proper English

Ad blikkaá finni ensku And my song was sweet and gay

Og min söngrödd var sweet and gay
But while out west
En vestur á landi I stumbled into marriage
Eg lenti í hjónabandi It was sad for such a nice girl
Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidprúda mey
He was used to
Hann lagdi í sinn vana Loving American girls
Ad elska Ameríkana So I kissed him and said ok
Svo ég kyssti hann og sagdi ok
Then I discovered deceit
En illt var í efni When he spoke in his sleep
Hann var ódamála í svefni And I found out, he was very Icelandic after all
Og thá reyndist hann, ramm islenskt grey
Just a poor Icelander
Islenskt grey Just a poor Icelander
Islenskt grey Who wanted an Icelandic girl
Sem ásædist islenska mey
Everything has since changed
En nú er önnur öldin Now I go dancing every night
Eg dansa kát á kvöldin And boys call me Forget-Me-Not
Og thiy kalla mig gleym-mér-ei
And they shiver
They say to themselves
Og piltarnir their skjálfa
No, you send me currents of love
Their segja vid sig sjálfa
Such luck!
Nei, thú setydir mér blossandi ást
Since there is no sweeter girl.
Thvílíkt hnoss!
Thvi thad sést ekki sætari mey

Drukkid, dansad og kysst Drank, danced and kissed

So carefree and ecstatic

Hve áhyggjulaus og alsæll
As in your arms I lay

Oft have I loved since
Og oft hef ég elskad sídan
But never as strongly
En aldrei jafnheitt eins og tha
Never as torridly as then
Aldrei jafn-eldheitt sem thá

Ég Veit Ei Hvað Skal Segja I don't know what to say
Ég veit ei hvad skal segja I don't know what to say

Eg hugsa dag og nótt I ponder day and night
Thad veldur stundum vanda It's troublesome at times
Ad vera eftirsótt! To be as popular as I!
Ég er svo ung og óreynd sál Just a young and simple soul

Og eti í hug mér byr And doubt still fills my mind
Eg myndi kasta krónu I'd choose by tossing a coin
En their eru bara thrír But the boys I know are three!
Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja How can I know what to say
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr When doubt still fills my soul
Ekki get ég kastad krónu I cannot toss a coin
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír! To choose my love, for the boys I know are three!
Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja It's hard to have to say

Vid thennan "já" eda "nei" 'Bout this one "Yes" or "No"
Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey! If I should choose to love all three, I'll end up all alone!
Veit ei hvad skal segja I don't know what to say

Eg held ég elski hann Jón I think I do love Jón
Hann dansar eins og engill He dances like an angel
En ekur bíl sem flón But drives just like a fool
Hann hrytur eins og hrútur He snores just like a ram

Svo ég festi ei blund á brá So I can't sleep a wink
Thad sagdi mér hún mamm' hans At least, that's what his Mama said -
Hún mamma hans, svei mér thá! His Mama - I'll be damned!

Um thennan "já" eda "nei" 'Bout this one "Yes" or "No"

Eg held ég elski hann Geir I think I do love Geir
Hann hvíslar stundum "Heyrdu!" He used to whisper, "..Listen!"
En sídan aldrei meir! But never anymore!
Ég kysst' hann eitt kvöldid I kissed him on one night

Nei, hann kyssti mig, svei mér thá! No, he kissed me, I'll be damned!
Thá hrópadi drengur hissa: Then said in shocked surprise:
"Nei heyrdu! Ég rak mig á!" "-No, I bumped into you, that's all!"

Vid thennan "já" eda "nei" To this one "Yes" or "No"

Eg held ég elski hann Svein I think I do love Svein
Eg thori aldrei ad I never really dare
Vera med honum ein To be with him all alone
Hans atlot kveikja ástarbál His caresses spark a loving flame

Svo undarlega heit So strange and burning hot
Thad segja thær Svana og Gunna So they tell me, Svana and Gunna
En ég sjálf veit ei meir! But I could not say myself!



Vid thennan "já" eda "nei" To this one "Yes" or "No"

Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú, See the rumba drumming on,

Dönsum thví, ég og thú. So lets dance, me and you

Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin. Even though you hide I remember you
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim, And your hand leads my hand home
Ut í hamingjugeim. Out to a space of happiness
Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú, See the rumba drumming on,

Dönsum thví, ég og thú. So lets dance, me and you

Börnin Við Tjörnina The children by the pond
Gaman er fyrir hin gódu börn, It's fun for the good children
Ad ganga med pabba út ad tjörn. To walk with Daddy to the pond
Sjá thar lítinn bra-bra-bra, See a little quack-quack-quack,
And the children enjoy themselves, ha-ha-ha!
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha.
Give it some bread to bite
Gefa honum braud ad bíta í, The children enjoy this so much
Börnin hafa svo gaman af thví. Quack-quack-quack is full now
Saddur verdur bra-bra-bra, And the children enjoy themselves, ha-ha-ha!
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha.
In the islet she has a nest
Úti í hólma á sér ból, Sheltering her ducklings
Ungunum sínum veitir skjól. They all share the same blanket
Allir eiga their sömu sæng, Sleeping under Mother's wing
Sofa undir mömmu væng. They try and learn to swim themselves
Fara ad reyna ad fleyta sér, Mother is happy to teach them
Fús ad kenna theim mamma er. She shelters them from danger
Hún er theirra víta vörn, Shelters and feeds her babies
Verndar og fædir sín litlu börn. Once I saw a little duckling

Eitt sinn lítinn unga ég sá, The poor thing had gotten lost from it's mother
Auminginn villtist mömmu frá. It kept swimming in circles
Sífellt í hring hann synti thar, And could not find her anywhere
Og sá hana ekki neins stadar.
Mother knew all about this
And her wings brought her there
Mamma vissi vel um thad,
The duckling was terribly glad
Og á vængjunum sínum kom thar ad.
To be safe with his Momma
Ósköp gladur vard unginn thá,
Og öruggur sinni mömmu hjá. If our pond freezes
It's fun to sled on the ice
Ef ad tjörnin okkar frys, It is usually cold out then
Uti er gaman ad sleda á ís. And poor quack-quack is so cold
Thá er oftast úti svalt,
Og aumingja bra-bra thá svo kalt, With cold feet on cold ice
He sometimes freezes and dies
Med kalda fætur á köldum ís, The children mourn their quack-quack
Króknar stundum, deyr og frys. And so our story ends
Börnin harma bra-bra sinn,
Og búinn er söguthátturinn.
Ruby Baby
I've got a girl and Ruby is her name

She don't love me but I love her just the same
Ruby, Ruby, how I want you
Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Oh, each time I see my baby my heart cries

I'm gonna steal her away from all those guys
From the sunny day I met you
Made a bet that I would get you

She don't love me but I love her just the same

Got some loving money too
Gonna give it all to you
When will you be mine?

My Ruby, my Ruby, my Ruby

My Ruby, Ruby when will you be mine?
Can't help loving that man
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly

I got to love one man 'til I die
Can't help loving that man of mine

Maybe he's lazy, maybe he's slow

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I know
And when he's away

That's a rainy day
But when he's back
The day is fine, the sun will shine
He can stay out as long as can be
For without him ain't no home for me
Show me....

Cry me a river
Now you say you love me

You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry

For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
You drove me, nearly drove me

Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me

And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
Yeah, ooh-ooh-woo
You drove me, nearly drove me

Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me

And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you-hoo-oh!
I fall in love too easily

I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled

'Cause I've been fooled
In the past

But still I fall in love too easily


I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled

'Cause I've been fooled
In the past
But still I fall in love too easily

Misty
Look at me...
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel i'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand
Walk my way...
And a thousand violins begin to play
It could be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near
Can't you see that you're leading me on

And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
Thats why im following you
Hoh-wohow!
On my own...
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hand from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
Yeah, wooh!
Can't you see that you're leading me on

And it's just, just what I want you to do, oh!
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
huh, yeahoh!
On my own...
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my left foot from my right
My hand from my glove
I'm too misty, I'm too much in love
Wooh!
I'm too misty!

Too, I'm too much in love, hoh-hoh-hoh hoh-hoh!
You don't know what love is


Until you learned the meaning of the blues
Until you loved the love you've had to lose
You don't know how lips hurt

Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You dont know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears

The thought of suffering
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You dont know how hearts burn

For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you reached each dawn with sleepless nights
Do you know how a lost heart fears

The thought of suffering
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing

Until you learned the meaning of the blues
Until you loved the love you had to lose

Anyone Who Had A Heart
(Cover live at Union Chapel 99 / Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
Anyone who ever loved - could look at me and know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed - could look at me and know I dream of you
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart -would take me in his arms and love me too
You wouldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue - what am I to do?
Every time you go away - I always say this time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do - I take you back
Without you I'd die dear - knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart -would take me in his arms and love me too

You couldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue - what am I to do?
Knowing I love you, so - anyone who had a heart

Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me

In his arms and always love me -why won't you?, yeah
Would take me in his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart

Bedtime stories
(Written by Björk)
Today is the last day that I'm using words

They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore
Let's, let's, let's get unconscious honey

Let's get unconscious honey
Today is the last day that I'm using words

They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore
Traveling, leaving logic and reason

Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness


Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious
Words are useless, especically sentences

They don't stand for anything
How could they explain how I feel
Traveling, traveling, I'm traveling

Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, traveling, I'm gonna relax
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
And inside we're all still wet

Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?
Let's get unconscious honey...
Traveling, traveling...
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again
Charlene
You've got yourself a-in a fine mess now, Charlene

You're either absolutely mad or you are joking, Charlene
Charlene, i'm crying

So close to you darling
We're naked and laughing
You shine on my battery, Charlene
I have always adored your witty mouth, Charlene

Now would you please be very very rude to them, Charlene
Charlene I'm crying

Let me get you out of that lake, Charlene

Your dress is red and oh so slippery, Charlene
I guess I have to dry you

Dress you and comb you
You're already late
I'll sort you out
Charlene, I'm crying

Desired constellation
It's tricky when you feel

That someone has done something
On your behalf
It's slippery when

Your sense of justice
Murmurs underneath
And it's asking

How am i going to make it right?

With a palmful of stars

I throw them like dice
Repeatedly
Repeatedly
On the table
I throw them on the table

Until the desired constellation appears

And you're asking you

(icelandic / gibberish[?] Stuff )
Repeatedly
Repeatedly
You're asking yourself
Repeatedly

Oh boy
Where have i put my keys
I've looked in my pocket
Behind the newspaper
And underneath the remote control
And i cannot find where i put it again
Oh boy i cannot find my keys

I'm far too late
The door is open now
A taxi is waiting there
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
A phone keeps ringing

I am definitely not going to
Pick it up
'Cause
When I grow up
I'm gonna get those fancy key-rings
That you whistle at
And they whistle right back
At you
Ah ah ah ah ah
Bah pah bah pah...

Downtown
( Live Union Chapel 99 - Tony Hatch / Petula Clark Cover )
When you're alone and life is making you lonely

You can always go - downtown

When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you

There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

I do confess

Down my shoulders
From above
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
I turn myself in
I give myself up

You own me i'm yours
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
You have to trust it

I'm eternally yours
All that i gave them
I gave to you

So needy of comfort
But too raw to be embraced
Undo this privacy
And put me in my place

Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
The hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers

Will never awaken you
Not where the dark coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought

Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be prayers

And candles are lit I know
Let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming

I wake and I find you asleep

In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream hasn't haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
is absolutely Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
...Sunday
I go humble
I go humble
You're so curiously pure
Only before you I'm humble
I go humble
You amaze me
Only before you I go humble
I should be arrested
For my emotional stunts
I'm queen of provocation

I wake people up
I go humble
I adore you
I should be arrested
For my emotional stunts

I remember you
I remember you,
You're the one that made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago..
I remember you,
You're the one that said, "I love you too,
Didn't you know?"
I remember too
A distant bell,
And stars that fell
Like rain, out of the blue..
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
I shall tell them I remember you.
I remember you,

I've Seen It All
(Live version)
I've seen it all, I have seen the willow trees

I've seen a land on the first day of peace
I have seen a friend killed by his best friend
And lives that were over before they were spent
I have seen what I was and I know what I'll be

I've seen it all, there is no more to see
[Instrumental Interlude]
You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru

I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great if the roof doesn't fall
And the man you will marry

The home you will share
Oh no I am kidding
I really don't care
[Leave it up to me; gibberish ?]
You've never been to Niagara Falls

I have seen water, it's water, that's all
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State
My pulse was as high on my very first date
And your grandson's hands as he plays with your hair

Oh no really, I don't care
[just another night and they go (?; gibberish) through the dark]
I have seen it all, I have seen the dark

I have seen the brightness in one little spark
I have seen what I chose and I've seen what I need
And that is enough, to want more would be greed
I have seen what I was, and I know what I'll be

I've seen it all, there is no more to see
You've seen it all, and all that you've seen

is totally your view on your own little screen
the light and the dark, the big and the small
just keep in mind that you grow more than tall
You've seen what you were, I know what you'll be

I've seen it all, you don't need to see

Karvel Karvel
Don't listen' I said
'ekki hlusta' sagði ég
They are giving you the wrong message
þær gefa þér röng skilaboð
They are practising breathing into the heart
þær æfa sig í að and'inní hjartað
Nonsense and nonsense
bull og vitleysa
Love everyone and "I love you"
elskaðu alla og "I love you"
And everyone here
og allir hér
Everyone here loves you
og allir hér elska þig
And everyone here
og allir hér
Everyone here loves you
og allir hér elska þig
You have to remember to calculate
þú verður að muna að reikna
And dont you understand the future
og skilurðu ekki að framtíðina
And don't trust nuns
og ekki treysa nunnum?
And the sun doesn't sink today
og sólin sekkur ekki í dag
And never never never never
og aldrei aldrei aldrei aldrei
And I never
og aldrei ég
And I never love you
aldrei ég elska þig...
O ho!
ó hó!
The devil stands and doesn't know how to smoke
'stendur djöfullin og kann ekki að reykja
And when the huge motherfucker starts moving
og þegar ferlíkið fer af stað
Try to open up
reyndu að opna
They practice breathing into the heart
þær æfa sig í að anda inn í hjartað
And the devil knows
og djöfullin kann
And I never
og aldrei ég
And I never love you
og aldrei ég elska þig
All that you see
allt sem þú sérð
Don't listen' I said

There is yet another one, There is

That spits always, There is yet another one
With me and smiles, That nurtures me
And always loves me
Always Loves Me,
Always loves me, There is yet another one
Always loves me,
I'm gonna walk up these teeth
And I'll take this step, Tooth by tooth up this ladder
Into his mouths cradle,
I'm gonna follow his teeth, Into mouth's cradle
Step by step, Mouth's cradle
Walk up his teeth, Mouth's cradle
Into a mouths cradle, Mouth's cradle
Mouths cradle,

My Favourite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things
Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleighbells and shnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things
When the bee stings

When the dog bites
When I'm feeling bad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so sad
My Snare ( A.k.a : Nature is ancient )
It's wet in the middle

With a shell around it
It's called life
It goes wherever it wants to

Don't try to predict it
Then you'd offend it
It's meant to surprise
Nature is ancient
But surprises us all
Nature is ancient
Rescue me
From level-head-ness
And the unnecessary luxury of being calm
Nature is ancient
Nature is ancient
She's got dark hairs on her head

Blond on her arms
She sneaks up from behind
Come on
You deserve it!

Next To Last Song

( Dancer in the dark )
Dear Gene, of course you are here

And now it's nothing to fear
Oooh, I should have known
Oooh, I was never alone
This isn't the last song
There is no violin
The choir is so quiet
And noone takes a spin
This is the next to last song
And that's all, all
Remember what I have said
Remember, wrap up the bread
Do this, do that, make your bed
This isn't the last song
There is no violin
The choir is quiet
And noone takes a spin
This is the next to last song
And that's all ...

Will the dreams become reality?
Bliver drømmene til virkelighed?
He flies through the heaven
Han flyver gennem himlen
And the heaven hangs
Og himlen hænger Like a collar
Som en krave Around his neck
Om hans hals
It is so black and very dark
Det er så sort og meget mørkt Between the sun and moon
Imellem sol og måne
Now flies Anton...
Nu flyver Anton...
So he pisses on the darkness
Sa pisser han pa mørkret And the darkness
Og mørkret Turns to light
Bliver til lys Now flies Anton...
Nu flyver Anton... So he got his first kiss
His first kiss!
Sa fik han sit første kys With the tongue!
Sit første kys! The tongue...went like...
Med tungen! A pro-pel-ler, woah!

Ó borg, mín borg,

ég lofa ljóst þín stræti,
þín lágu hús og allt sem fyrir ber.
Og þótt tárið oft minn vanga væti

Og hversu sem að aðrir í þig narta,

it's in our hands
In our hands
it's all there
In our hands
it's all there
In our hands
Well, now aren't we scaring ourselves

unnecessarily
Aren't we trying too hard
'Cause it's in our hands

It's in our hands
It's all there
It's in our hands
Look no further
Look no further
It's in our hands
It always was
It's in our hands
It's in our hands
It's in our hands
It's in our hands
Le petit chevalier
( Live Paris 98 )
Je suis le petit chevalier I am the little knight

Avec le ciel dessus mes yeux with the sky up above my eyes
Je ne peux pas me effrayer I cannot be scared
Je suis le petit chevalier I am the little knight

Avec la terre dessous mes pieds With the earth down below my feet
J'irai te visiter I shall visit you
J'irai te visiter I shall visit you
** Thanx to Moa for this one ** ** Thanx to Moa for this one **

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
(Mick Jagger / Keith Richards)
Live Duo With P.J Harvey
Polly Jean Harvey

I can't get no... satisfaction
I can't get no... satisfaction
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try
I can't get no...
No no no
When I'm drivin' in my car

And the man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Designed to
Björk & Polly

Fire my imagination
Polly Jean Harvey

I can't get no
No, no, no

Hey, hey, hey

That's what I say
Björk & Polly:

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try, and I try
And I try, and I try
Björk
When I'm ridin' 'round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some dough, tell me
Baby, better come back, maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no
Oh, no, no, no
Polly Jean Harvey

Hey, hey, hey
Björk
I can't get no
Polly Jean Harvey

That's what I say
Björk
Satisfaction
Polly Jean Harvey

Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
Björk
I can't get no
Polly Jean Harvey

Say hey, hey, hey
Björk
I can't get no
Björk & Polly

Say hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
Scary
He means tomorrow but says: "In a bit"

And doesn't show up at all
He sets his watch to a comet's orbit
Remembers to forget to call
No courage for love

Too scared to be happy
No courage for love
I do.... do
I do.... do
"Your place or mine" means "heaven or hell"

Two addresses somewhat apart
His home's dark and spiky, her's clear as a bell
It's over before they can start
No courage for love


No courage for love
I do.... don't
I do.... don't
And tomorrow passed them by X4
La, la, la, la, la ....
Short term affair
( Duo : Björk/Tony Ferrino / Live BBC's Comic relief )
Tony Ferrino :
It's a short time affair
You're my children's au-pair
But I just couldn't bear
Tony Ferrino & Björk :

To keep my hands off you
Björk :
I was barely eighteen
What you did was obscene
But to me it felt clean

What else was I to do?
Tony Ferrino :
The memory still lingers
You're cooking the kids fish-fingers
And ironing
Björk :
Each morning you'd come down
In your paisley dressing gown
Then you sing
And the yearning started for a short-time affair
Tony Ferrino :
No intention to stray
Björk :
I was caught in your snare
Tony Ferrino :
But my wife was awake
Björk :
It was so debonaire
Tony Ferrino :
So I thought what the heck

I knew I couldn't resist
Tony Ferrino :
It was a short time affait

Björk :
You're the man you're the boss
Tony Ferrino :
When I find you right there
Björk :
Like the father I lost
Tony Ferrino :
Clean our silver-ware
Björk :
So to hell with the cost

Right then at once we kissed
Björk :
You took me to the kitchen, you're hands kinda started twitchin', felt so shy
Tony Ferrino :
Nothing could stop what followed, lucky for me you swallowed
Björk :
I know it's all over now
Tony Ferrino :
Try to be strong somehow
Björk :
I start a brand new life
Tony Ferrino :
Please, please don't tell my wife
Björk :
I won't stop loving you
Tony Ferrino :
Please, please don't tell my wife
Björk :
Au revoir, ciao, auf wiedersehen
Tony Ferrino :
We must never meet again
Björk :
Short time affair, heeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooooooo
Tony Ferrino :
Short time affair , eeeeee oooooooooooo

So broken
Björk
So broken,
In pieces,
My heart is so broken,
I'm puzzling.
Here I go
Trying to run ahead of that,
Heart break train,
Thinking,
It will never catch up with me.
I'm so broken,

This aeroplane of ours gracefully,
But it seems just destined to crash,
I'm so broken,
My heart is so broken,
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm,
How can, how can,

And I sense (?)

All continuity
Has vanished away
At one step at a time now baby

Sod off
I know i've been tolerant 'til now

But here comes a warning,
There's a very clear line that I'm drawing
And if you cross it
Sod off
Sod off
If you think i'll let you pull me down to

Your third-class communication
And bulldoze over all my sensitivities
You've read me all wrong
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Things so far have been too perfect

This is the premiere
But oh, how many dress rehearsals
I've been through
Darling this is far too pure and perfect

Won't let you corrupt it
Sod off!
I won't let you ruin this
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.

Um Akkeri About an anchor
( Anchor song, Icelandic Version ) ( Translation )
ég bý við sjóinn I live by the sea

og á nóttunni And in the night
þá kafa ég níður Then I dive down
alveg á hafsbotninn All the way to the seabottom
undir allar iður Underneath all currents
og sett akkerið mitt út And set my anchor out
Here is where i want to be

hér vill ég vera
Here is my home
hér á ég heima
Takk Thanks
Fundið til líka Feel it too

Og ást heita ást and love hot love
Vúvú húuúuuuú woo-woo-hoo-oo-ooh
Með allt sem hún sér with all that she sees
Og allt sem hún færir mér and all that she gives me
ást heita ást love hot love
Ekkert er bannað nothing is banned
Vúvú húuúuuuú woo-woo hoo-oo-ooh

Ahhh ahhh
Og öll þessi ást and all of this love
í bláum hjörtum in thouse blue hearts
Ekkert er bannað nothing is banned
Og allt er hægt and everythings possible
þar sem enginn hefur snert what no one has touched
En ég snert but I have touched
Og fundið til líka and felt too
Og ást heita ást love hot love

Travessia Crossing
Quando você foi embora When you were gone

Fez-se noite em meu viver There was nigth in my life
Forte eu sou mas não tem jeito I'm strong but there's no way
Hoje eu tenho que chorar Today I have to cry
Minha casa não é minha My house is not mine
E nem é meu este lugar And even mine is this place
Estou só e não resisto I'm alone and don't resist
Muito tenho prá falar Much I have to tell
Solto a voz nas estradas (I let go my voice on the roads

Já não quero parar Now I don't want to stop
Meu caminho é de pedras (My route is made of stone
Como posso sonhar How can I dream
Sonho feito de brisa Dream made of breeze
Vento vem terminar Wind come finish
Vou fechar o meu pranto I'll close my weeping
Vou querer me matar I'll want to kill myself
Vou seguindo pela vida I'll following by the life

Me esquecendo de você Forgeting about you
Eu não quero mais a morte I don't want death anymore
Tenho muito que viver I have lot to live

Vou querer amar de novo I'll want to love again

E se não der não vou sofrer And if doesn't work I'll not be hurt
Já não sonho I don't dream
hoje faço com meu braço o meu viver Today I make with my arms my subsist

Verandi The state of being
Hafandi eyrað í vasanum Having the ear in the pocket

Hafandi augun í skónum Having the eye in the shoe
Ástarbréf í maganum Loveletters in the stomach
Vönd af kossum í munninum Bouquet of kisses in the mouth
Kyrr! Calm down!
Hafandi haf af girnd
Hafandi loðna löngun um mjaðmirnar Having an ocean of desire
Hafandi sjón sem að sér þegar það er slökkt Having a hairy desire around the hips
Og gott bil milli fótanna Having eyes that can see in the dark
Kyrr! And too much space between the legs
Calm down!

Visur vatnsenda-rosu Songs of rose from Watersend
Augun mín og Augun þín My eyes and your eyes

Ó þá fögru steina Oh those beautiful stones
Mitt var þitt og þitt var mitt Mine was yours and yours was mine
þú veist hvað ég meina You know what I mean
Langt er síðan sá ég hann Long is since I saw him
Sannlega fríður var hann Truly fair he was
All that may adorn a man
Allt sem prýða má einn mann
Most of the people carried him
mest af lýðum bar hann
You I long for most of all
þig ég trega manna mest Heavy with the flood of tears
Mædda af tára flóði Oh that I never had seen you
Ó að við hefðum aldrei sést Dear beloved friend
elsku vinurinn góði
Where is the line
( Live on tour 2003 )
Where is the line with you?
My purse wide open

You ask again
I see you trying to
Cash into accounts
Everywhere
I want to be flexible
I want
To go out
Of my way for you

I want to be elastic
I want to go out of my way for you
I want to help you

Who Do You Think You Are?
( Elvis Costello / Live Union Chapel 99 )
The hunted look, the haunted grace

The empty laugh that you cultivate
You fall into that false embrace
And kiss the air about her face
Who do you think you are?
The tres bon mots you almost quote from your

Quiver of literary darts
A thousand or so tuneless violins
Thrilling your cheap little heart
My cigarette burns right down to the ash

My coffee cup is unstained
The waiter hovers close at hand
His courtesy strained

I close with my regards
Well I'm the red-face gentleman
Caught in this picture postcard
Trying my best to make the best of your absence

Though the joke gets tired and sordid
Sea-shell hearts get trampled under foot
Punchlines unrewarded
But even at this distance

It's not easy to accept
The vision that I chase returns
When I least expect it
I've fallen from your tired embrace
I kiss the air
Around the place
That should be
Your face
Who is it
( Live Parma 2001 )
His embrace a fortress

Carries me, and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone

Rock by rock
If you ask yourself patiently

Who is it , who is it , who is it ?
Who is it
That never lets you down?
Who is it
That gave you back your crown?
The ornaments are
They're goin around
And they're handin' it over, handin' it over
Who is it
Who is it
The ornaments are
They're goin around
We all have been to the still place [???]

We all have learned the lightness
I carry my pain on my right
But i carry my joy on my left
If you ask yourself patiently

Who is it , who is it , who is it ?
Who is it
Who is it
The ornaments are
They're goin around
Who is it
Who is it
The ornaments are
They're goin around
And they're handin' it over, handin' it over, handin' it over
*** Thanx a lot to Nick for this one ***
Why ?
( Elvis Costello - live with The Brodski Quartet )
Why is Daddy not here?

Are you crying?
Why?
Does he still love me?
Will you take care of me?
If you both love me so
Why don't you love each other
Mummy's gone missing
And Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire
*** Thanx a lot to Penelope for this one ***

Yoga
Tricky and Bjork:
Don't hold me
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
Just do it
(A 'tastic')
Yoga-all,I leave it after you
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll find how to get after you
(And I will do for you)
I don't chance it
All the pieces
I don't-yoga
All the people in colleauge with me
Don't hold me now

(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
I can want it
(A tastic')
I'll slide around in seconds
I'll slide around and solve me
I don't chance it
I don't need the love to dance it
I don't chance it
I don't chance,at least the love's here
Just do it
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
Don't hold me now
(A tastic')
I'm jumpy
I'll stay and leave there
May though you come and leave there
I don't share it
Yoga after I go
and leave the lair
I'll send light-this sad soul laments
It can tell that I love,so I waste
*** Thanx a lot to Elliot for this one ***
You Only Live Twice
You only live twice or so it seems

One life for yourself and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is its name

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on

Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on

Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
Worlds Collapse
( Bless LP - 1990 / Backing vocals )
I meet you, and you tell me

What you dreamt - last night
I think its great - it's the same dream I dreamt
We fall flat - the same dream
Worlds collapse
Worlds collapse
Your wall falls on my wall
I think i'll go away
I think i'll go outside
I think of buying hope
Meet girl - dreamt a dream too

He dreamt another dream
He wont tell us her dream
But when I offer him my coat
He opens up a smile
He dreamt a house
In the house, a mere wall
In the middle of the rift there's:
World's collapse
World's collapse
Your wall falls on my wall
I think I go away
I think i'll form a bomb out of snow
I think i'll throw it at girl

I think i'll throw it at you
I think i'll throw it at girl
I think i'll throw it at you
Yonder
( Bless LP - 1990 / Backing vocals )
There's a useless moon up there in the sky

It has neither tail nor start
I hang around the café disappointment
And you in the yonder
I know what a call grapes out from the tar

And think filt of names and air
I sip coffe ground on café supernova
Get you in the yonder
When I nap
When I nap
Please stay away from my dreams

Please stay in the yonder - until I wake up
Inside you does a heart die, Jane

Pumps constantly pain and sorrow
I leave big tips at some sort of café
And you in the yonder
When I nap
When I nap
Please stay away from my dreams
Please stay in the yonder - until I wake up

Debut Post Vespertine

Human Behaviour Army of Me Hidden place

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (1 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

If you ever get close to a human

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (2 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic

There's no-one here

It's a hot day

There's no-one here

Only if a ship would sail in

Crying 'cause I need you

His wicked sense of humour

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (3 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

There’s More To Life Than This

It's still early morning

Sample : There's more to life than this

There's more to life than this

I could nick a boat

There's more to life than this

Sample : There's more to life than this

There's more to life than this X4

Like someone in love

Lately I find myself out gazing at stars

Sometimes the things I do astound me

Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings

Big Time Sensuality

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (4 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

It takes courage to enjoy it

It takes courage to enjoy it

I don't know my future after this weekend

It takes courage to enjoy it

One day, it will happen

One day, when you're ready

One day, it will happen

One day, one day

I can feel it, I can feel it,

And the beautifullest

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (5 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

I can not live

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (6 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

Since I met you

I tip-toe down to the shore

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (7 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

I'm getting too drunk

The Anchor Song

I live by the ocean

I live by the ocean

Darling stop confusing me

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (8 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

And if you complain once more

And if you complain once more

You're on your own now

And if you complain once more

http://www.alwaysontherun.net/bjork.htm (9 von 52)21.02.2005 12:15:45

Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery

I go through all this

I go through all this

It's real early morning

I go through all this

I go through all this

I go through all this

Safe up ( here with you ) ...
