You only live twice
Or so it seems
One life for yourself,
One for your dreams
You drift thru the years
And life seems tame
'Till one dream appears,
Love is it's 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
Let 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,
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 that never lets you down ?
Who is it that gave you back your crown ?
And the ornaments are going around
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 patiently and carefully:
Who is it ?
Who is it that never lets you down ?
Who is it that gave you back your crown ?
And the ornaments are going around
Now they're handing it over
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
My purse wide open
You ask again
I see you trying to
Cash into accounts
Everywhere
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
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
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
I am elastic
I want to go out of my way for you
I want to help you
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
I want to have capacity for you
And be elastic, elastic, to be elastic for you
Where is the line with you ?
I'm elastic for you
But enough is enough
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
Where is the line with you?
It's bright 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
Chorus:
Nature is ancient
But surprises us all
(2x)
Rescue me
From level-headedness
An unnecessary luxury of being calm
[Chorus 2x]
She's got dark hairs on her head
And blood on her arms
She sneaks up from behind
Come on - you deserve it!
[Chorus 4x]
Nature is ancient
So ancient
Nature is ancient
I am leaving this harbour
Giving urban a farewell
Its habitants seem to keen on God
I cannot stomach their rights and wrongs
I have lost my origin
And I don't want to find it again
Whether sailing into nature's laws
And be held by ocean's paws
Wanderlust! relentlessly craving
Wanderlust! peel off the layers
Until we get to the core
Did I imagine it would be like this?
Was it something like this I wished for?
Or will I want more?
Lust for comfort
Suffocates the soul
Relentless restlessness
Liberates me (sets me free)
I feel at home
Whenever the unknown surrounds me
I receive its embrace
Aboard my floating house
Wanderlust! relentlessly craving
Wanderlust! peel off the layers
Until we get to the core
Did I imagine it would be like this?
Was it something like this I wished for?
Or will I want more?
Wanderlust! from island to island
Wanderlust! united in movement
Wonderful! I'm joined with you
Wanderlust!
Can you spot a pattern?
like a virus needs a body
as soft tissue feeds on blood
someday i'll find you — the urge is here
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
like a mushroom on a tree trunk
as the protein transmutates
i knock on your skin — and i am in
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
the perfect match — you and me
i adapt — contagious
you open up — say welcome
like a flame that seeks explosives
as gun powder needs a war
i feast inside you — my host is you
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
the perfect match — you and i
you fail to resist
my crystalline charm
like a virus — patient hunter
i'm waiting for you — i'm starving for you
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
my sweet adversary
my sweet adversary
Down the corridor
I send warmth
I send warmth
Down the staircase
I send warmth
I send warmth
Thank you for, again
To get to be able
To send warmth
To send warmth
Perhaps I set you too free
Too fast
Too young
But the intentions were pure
But the intentions were pure
My juvenile
I truly say
You are my biggest love
I clumsily try to free you from me
One last embrace
To tie a sacred ribbon
This is an offer to better the last let-go
The intentions were pure
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 calm me down
i'm aiming too high
Up on the toe
There is a view
Up on the toe
And the spine
Straight and erect
Hungry and curious
Up on the toe
Looking forward to
The air is thinner here
She came here
To lose face
Got down on her knees
The beast is back!
On four legs
Set her clock to the moon
Raises her spine
Vertebrae by vertebrae
Up on the toe
Looking
I have been filled with steam for months, for years
Same old cloud, claustrophobic me
Let it burst like old train sounds
Make them leave me nature
Vertebrae by vertebrae by vertebrae
My arms squeeze out of my shoulders!
And the arms squeeze out of my shoulders
I curl my tail in words
I set my clock on the moon
Vertebrae by vertebrae
Please release this pressure of me
One hand allows the other
So much and 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
I never thought I would compromise
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
I never thought I would compromise
I never thought I would compromise
I never thought I would compromise
Let's unite tonight
We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight
One hand allows the other
So much and 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

Á sudrænum sólskinsdegi
Eg sá thig, o ástin mín, fyrst
Thú settist hjá mér í sandinn
Thá var sungid og fadmad og kysst
Drukkid, dansad og kysst
Tondeleyo, tondeleyo.
Aldrei gleymast mér augun thín svörtu
Og aldrei slógu tvö gladari hjörtu
Tondeleyo, Tondeleyo,

En aldrei jafnheitt eins og tha
Aldrei jafn-eldheitt sem thá

Ævilangt hefdi ég helzt viljad sofa

stirring at water's edge
cold froth on my twig
my mind in whirls
wanders around desire
may i, can i or have i too often
craving miracles
may i, can i or have i too often now
craving miracles
craving miracles
no one imagines the light shock i need
and i'll never know
from who's hands deeply humble
dangerous gifts as such to mine come
may i, should i or have i too often
craving miracles
may i, can i or have i too often
craving miracles
craving miracles
my romantic gene is dominant
and it hungers for union
universal intimacy
all embracing
may i, should i or have i too often
craved miracles
may i, can i or have i too often
craved miracles
crave
waves irregularly striking
wind stern in my face
thunderstorm come
scrape those barnacles of me!
may i, may i or should i too often
crave miracles
may i or should i or have i too often
all my body parts are one
as lightning hits my spine
sparkling
prime runs through me
revive my wish
inviolable
may i, can i or have i too often
craving miracles
may i, can i, should i or have i too often
With our fingers we make million holes
We ran and we fell into potholes
On a mission to savor the world
Aahhiahh… We peek at the sky through tree holes
Comet! Oh, damn it! The Comet comes hurtling down
On our precious plot of earth.
Like the bugs in Mother’s flower bed
We walk on long legs over the seabed
On our mission to save the world.
Aahhiahh…We need milk and cakes and a warm bed.
Comet! Oh, damn it! The Comet comes hurtling down
On our precious plot of earth.
Grey leaves are too much for any mother to handle.
Fundið til líka

Vúvú húuúuuuú
Með allt sem hún sér

Ekkert er bannað
Vúvú húuúuuuú
Vúvú húuúuuuú
Ahhh
Og öll þessi ást

Ekkert er bannað
Og allt er hægt
þar sem enginn hefur snert
En ég snert
Og fundið til líka

Close your eyes
Listen closely
All that you've learned
Try to forget it
Fuck logic, fuck logic
Rival of instinct
And sweet intuition
What makes you tick
Try to remember
All that you've learned
Try to forget it
Believe in, believe in
Believe in istinct
And sweet intution
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
And inside
We're all still wet
Yearing and longing
Repeat after me
Fuck logic, fuck logic
Rival to istinct
And sweet intuition
Sweet intuition honey
Sweet intuition
Sweet

Sweet
Sweet intuition

Unison
Unison
i saw a woman walking down my street,
with grace so beautifully care-fully.
she's a big and pretty mother swinging her handbag
back and forth so joyfully
she's drawing circles with her breasts in her jumper.
give me a big mother,
huge and loving one,
i can crawl upon a cling to,
a large woman, warm and cuddly wet lady,
strong mother.
she's walking down the street,
in front of my window whistling funky tunes
in the ears of my neighbours.
give me a big mother,
one that would always want me.
hot embracing mother,
i can crawl upon and cling to
you can't be safer can't be more secure than with a breast in each palm,
thats the way i was born and
thats the way i want to die.
give me a big mother,
soft and wet one,
that would caress me in all those special places.
where's a strong mother,
one that squeezes me,
It may not always be so
And I say that if your lips
Which I have loved
Should touch another's
And your dear strong fingers clutch his 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 helplessly 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 shall I turn my face
when your eyes
pause on the ball
that hangs on the third branch from a star
you remember why it got dark and why it is getting light again
the earth (like the heart) leans back in it's seat
and like that it travels along an orbit
drawn in the darkness
unpolished pearl in sky-black palm of hands
flickering sun-flame
you remember
that you are yourself a light-bearer
Ég fylgist með þér
Hvernig þú hreyfir þig
Bak við veggfóðrið
Síðasta ég
Í heimi
Ég leita að ?
Til að horfa á
Harah-mið
Leita að rigningu
Mo-til-leit-me-með
Til að ganga í
Síðasta ég
Sí-hí-ðasta ég
Síðasta ég
Í heimi
Ó, síðasta ég
Í heimi
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 stars forgiveness
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
Dearest
Scatterheart
There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane
Just to make it easier on you
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
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
Just to make it easier on you
why can't you give her room?
respect her spatial needs
i feel you compress her
into a small space
with clairvoyance
she knew what you needed
and gave it to you
now her desires are repressed
arrows in the flesh
when she found your love
her nature bowed her head
she surrendered
she renounced the world for you
now she's poisoned by demands
you cannot answer
why this sacrifice?
now she regrets the whole thing
a delayed reaction
when she left her craft voluntarily
for your nest for your love
did you understand?
appreciate
build a bridge to her
initiate a touch
before it's too late
say the words to her
that will make her shine
tell her that you love her
your generosity will show
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
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
Probably maybe, possibly love
Possibly
Mon petit vulcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
Admiring your lava
I keep calm
Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love
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 it?
Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love
How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned
How can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
Leave me alone
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
In remembrance of you
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
The pleasure is all mine
To get to be the generous one
Is the strongest stance
The pleasure is all mine
To finally let go
And defend me
We float
Who gives most
Who gives most
Who gives most
The pleasure is all mine
Women like us
We strengthen most
host-like
When in doubt give
When in doubt give
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
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
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 hibernating
On the surface simplicity
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
Pagan poetry
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
She loves him, she loves him
This time
She loves him, she loves him
I'm gonna keep it to myself
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
This time
I'm gonna keep me all to myself
She loves him, she loves him
And he makes me want to hurt myself again
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
One breath away from mother Oceanðòa
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
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 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
Nu flyver Anton
Helt af sig selv
Hvad tror du Anton?
Bliver drmmene til virkelighed?
Han flyver gennem himlen
Og himlen hnger
Som en krave
Om hans hals
Det er s sort og meget mrkt
Imellem sol og mne
Nu flyver Anton...
Sa pisser han pa mrkret
Og mrkret
Bliver til lys
Nu flyver Anton...
Sa fik han sit frste kys
Sit frste kys!
Med tungen!
Tungen ... gik som..
En pro-pel-ler, woah!
Allt sem hann leiðir
Allt sem hann fleygði
Allt sem hann fleygði

i shuffle around the tectonic plates in my chest
you know i gave it all
try to match our continents
to change seasonal shift
to form a mutual core
as fast as your fingernail grows
the atlantic ridge drifts
to counteract distance
you know i gave it all
can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?
shuffling of columns
to form a mutual core
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn't know i had it in me
withheld your love, an unspent capsule
i didn't know you had it in you
you hid the key to our continuity
i didn't know you had it in you
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn't know, you didn't know
what you resist persists, nuance makes heat
to counteract distance
i know you gave it all
offered me harmony if things were done your way
my eurasian plate subsumed
forming a mutual core
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn't know i had it in me
withheld your love, an unspent capsule
i didn't know you had it in you
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn't know i had it in me
this eruption undoes stagnation
Oh, thou that bowest thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows are the world's to keep
Wherefore onto thy knee
Come weep with a prayer
Oh, thou that bowest thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows are the world's to keep
Wherefore onto thy knee
Come weep with a prayer
Mother heroic, mother glorious
Beholding in thy eye, immortal tears
As the lukewarm hands of the gods
Came down and gently picked my adrenaline pearls
They placed them in their mouths
And rinsed all of the fear out
Nourished them with their saliva
Now I'm all rejuvenated and rested
Now I'm all rejuvenated and rested
As if the healthiest past-time
Is being in life-threatening circumstances
And once again be reborn
All birthed and happy
All birthed and happy
All birthed and happy
All birthed and happy
Best way to start-a-new
Is to fail miserably
Fail at loving
And fail at giving
Fail at creating a flow
Then realign the whole
And kick into the start hole
And kick into the start hole
And kick into the start hole
To risk all is the end all and the beginning all
Hann veitti birtu á bádar hendur,

You can have me
But I'll defend my child
By spring that child will die
Oh deli owowow etc.
Woo....
Moon... moon... moon...
I'm just so warm, Jennifer
and I'm coming over
to sa-bo-tage our distance
Moon will leave me on
Moon will guide me through, baby
Moon will guide me through

'Cause my chord is calling
It's me and truth
It's home
I'm at home with thruth alone
Moon will leave me on
Moon will guide us through
Moon will guide us through, baby
Moon will turn me on
The moon

There's absolutely no doubt
Me and truth

but the dawn is breaking
its early morn
the taxis waiting

already i'm so lonesome i could die
*CHORUS
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me

'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe, i hate to go*

so many times i've played around
i tell you now they don't mean a thing
every place i go i think of you
every song i sing i sing for you
when i come back
i'll wear your wedding ring
*CHORUS*
and now the time has come to leave you
one more time
oh let me kiss you
then close your eyes
and i'll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when i won't have to leave alone
about the times when i won't have to say...
*CHORUS*
i'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe, i hate to go
i'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane x 8
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, ooh
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me and confuse
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
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

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
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
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

I once had no fears
None at all
And then when
I had some
To my surprise
I grew to like both
Scared or brave
Without them
The thrill of fear
Thought I'd never admit it
The thrill of fear
Now greatly enjoyed with courage
When I once was
Untouchable
Innocence roared
Still amazes
When I once was
Innocent
It's still here
But in different places
Neurosis
Only
Attaches
Itself to
Fertile
Ground
Where it can flourish
The thrill of fear
Thought I'd never admit it
The thrill of fear
Now greatly enjoyed with courage
When I once was
Fearless
Innocence roared
Still amazes
Untouchable
Innocence
It's still here
But in different places
Fear is a powerful drug
Overcome it and
You think that you can do
Anything!
Should I
Save myself
For later
Or generously give?
Fear of
Losing
Energy
Is draining
It locks up your chest
Shuts down the heart
Miserly
And stingy
Let's open up : share!
When I once was
Fearless
Innocence roared
Still amazes
Untouchable
Innocence
It's still here
I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!
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?
To be honest, I really don't care...
You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...
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 - there is no more to see!
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
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú,
Dönsum thví, ég og thú.
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá,
Töfrabrá, logathrá.
Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér,
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér.
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál,
Unadsmál, eld í sál.
Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís,
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin.
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim,
Ut í hamingjugeim.
Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú,
Dönsum thví, ég og thú.
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá,
Töfrabrá, logathrá.
Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér,
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér.
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál,
Unadsmál, eld í sál.
Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís,
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin.
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim,
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
Can't help loving that man of mine
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
Can't help loving that man of mine
Show me....
Oh, 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 crazy, maybe he's slow
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I know
Can't help loving that man of mine
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
Can't help loving that man of mine
Can't help loving, loving that man of mine
Can't help....help....help
Loving that man....man....man
Man of mine....mine....mine
Vessel, host, occidental guests
Figure and field, both, carrier, carried
Holographic paradigm
The whole in every part
Warm, viscous body, cooling
In marine air embrace
Curing, skinning over
A still molten core
Vessel, host, occidental guests
Skin seascape in suspension
Holographic entrypoint
Each part reflects the whole
Skin slit, consensual knife
She cuts his figure, he flenses her field
External resistance freeing
Internal relation emerging
Vessel, host, occidental guests
To pattern, comes blood, giving form
Holographic condition
The whole in every part
Warm blood, terrestrial guests
Take to the southern sea, breathing
Antarctic host and vessel, proud
hollow
my ancestors have access
hollow
i'm falling down the abyss
hollow
looking for some answers
generations of mothers sailing in
somehow they all were shipfolks
hollow
the ground is opening up
swallows
me up
the trunk of dna
now come forth
all species
hollow
like a bead in necklace
thread me
upon this chain
im part of it
the everlasting necklace
the everlasting necklace
jewels after jewels after jewels after
jewels after jewels after jewels
i yearn to be belong
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 tears
And so close to
Simply calling you up
I'm 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 the 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
July 13, 1946
Dear General MacArthur
With your permission
I offer wishes of good health
During this heat that burns anything
The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart
Recently, fulfilling your heart?s desire
You removed the whaling moratorium
Your gesture brings a much needed food
To our community and families
The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart
A million year old fossil I send to you
This comes from my family and the ancient sea
A prehistoric impression of the modern krill
She feeds the noble whale and offers you longevity
The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart
Finally, please take good care in the heat
Sincerely yours
Sunday is gloomy, the hours are slumberless
Dearest of 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 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 a 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 awake and I find you asleep and deep in my heart dear
Darling, I hope that my dream hasn't haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
It's absolutely gloomy Sunday
I am strong in his hands, I am beyond me
On my own I am human and I do faults
I do confess, I feel you trickling
Down my shoulders from above
I turn myself in, I give myself up
I volunteer, you own me I am yours
You have to trust, 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
A generous palm stroke the hugest of hugs
Undo this privacy embrace
Embrace me, embrace
Embrace me, emm
I am strong in his hands, I am above me
On my own I am human and I do faults
She is strong in his hands, she is beyond her
On her own she is human and she does faults
She is strong in his hands
She is strong in his hands
She is strong in his hands
We are the earth intruders
We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Turmoil! Carnage!
Here come the earth intruders
We are the paratroopers
The beat of sharp shooters
Come straight from voodoo
With our feet thumping
With our feet marching
Grinding skeptics
Into the soil
Shower of goodness coming to
End the doubt pouring over
Shower of goodness coming to end
We are the earth intruders
We are the sharp shooters
Flock of parachuters
Necessary voodoo
I have guided my bones through some voltage
And love them still
And love them too
Metallic! Carnage! Furiocity! Feel the speed!
We are the earth intruders
We are the sharp shooters
Flock of parachuters
Necessary voodoo
There is turmoil out there
Carnage, rambling
What is to do but dig
Dig bones out of earth
Mud graves! Timber! Morbid trenches!
Here come the earth intruders
There'll be no resistance
We are the canoneerers
Necessary voodoo
And the beast
With many heads
And the arms rolling
Steamroller!
We are the earth intruders
We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Forgive us, tribe
We are the earth intruders
We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
When your eyes
Pause on the ball
That hangs on the third branch from a star,
You remember why it got dark
And why it is getting light again.
The Earth (like the heart) leans back in it's seat
And, like that, it travels along an orbit
Drawn in the darkness.
Unpolished pearl In sky-black
Palm of hands
Flickering sun-flame.
You remember
That you are yourself a light-bearer,
Underneath our feet
Crystals grow like plants
Listen how they grow
I'm blinded by the lights
Listen how they grow
In the core of the Earth
Listen how they glow
Crystalline
Internal nebula
Crystalline
Rocks growing slow but
Crystalline
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
And demand the lights
We mimic the openness
Of the ones we love
Daft till our generosity
Equalizes the flow
With our hearts
We kiss our quartz
To reach love
Crystalline
Internal nebula
Crystalline
Rocks growing slow but
Crystalline
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
And demand the lights
Octagon, polygon
Pipes up an organ
Sonic branches
Murmuring drone
Crystalizing galaxies
Spread out like my fingers
Crystalline
Internal nebula
Crystalline
Rocks growing slow but
Crystalline
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
And demand the lights
It's the sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
It's the sparkle you become
Into pattern flowing blood giving form
In every part the whole you see
Into pattern flowing blood giving form
From the moment of commitment
Nature conspires to help you
From the moment of commitment
Nature conspires to help you
From the moment of commitment
Nature conspires to help you
Gaman er fyrir hin gódu börn,
Ad ganga med pabba út ad tjörn.
Sjá thar lítinn bra-bra-bra,
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha.
Gefa honum braud ad bíta í,
Börnin hafa svo gaman af thví.
Saddur verdur bra-bra-bra,
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha.
Úti í hólma á sér ból,
Ungunum sínum veitir skjól.
Allir eiga their sömu sæng,
Sofa undir mömmu væng.
Fara ad reyna ad fleyta sér,
Fús ad kenna theim mamma er.
Hún er theirra víta vörn,
Verndar og fædir sín litlu börn.
Eitt sinn lítinn unga ég sá,
Auminginn villtist mömmu frá.
Sífellt í hring hann synti thar,
Og sá hana ekki neins stadar.
Mamma vissi vel um thad,
Og á vængjunum sínum kom thar ad.
Ósköp gladur vard unginn thá,
Og öruggur sinni mömmu hjá.
Ef ad tjörnin okkar frys,
Uti er gaman ad sleda á ís.
Thá er oftast úti svalt,
Og aumingja bra-bra thá svo kalt,
Med kalda fætur á köldum ís,
Króknar stundum, deyr og frys.
Börnin harma bra-bra sinn,
Slæmar eru nefndirnar, thungt er theirra hlass.
Samt vid munum skjóta theim, rebba fyrir rass.
Thví vid getum jólahaldi frestad fram í mars,
Bara ef oss svo bydur vid ad horfa.
Mér er sem ég heyri bresti og brak,
Undan theim kyngikrafti.
Er thú thar nidri á thingi tekur theim tak,
Thínum med thrumukjafti.
Já, dreifbylingaflokkinn bryt ég á bak,
Eins og fúaflak!
Já, gott ef ég ekki,
(...) kofann og sprengi hid spanskgræna forna thak!
Já, mikid mun thad gledja æi minn ó
- létt' honum dimma daga -
Er litlu börnin kaupa kí-lí-lí-ló,
Af ávöxtum í sinn maga.
Já, kát svo mun ég syngja hæ-æ-æ-hó,
(Og) líka ding-ding-dó,
Thá allt verdur uppselt,
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
Já, mikid mun thad gledja æi minn ó

(Og) líka ding-ding-dó,
Thá allt verdur uppselt,
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
Thó mér finnist nú sjaldan ad selst hafi alveg nóg!
Hún Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella símamær,
Er ekki alveg fædd í gær.
Hún Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella símamær,
Hún kann á flestum hlutum skil, og kallar á vidtalsbil.
Í ástarmálum gildir adeins forganghsrad,

Halló, halló, já hvad heitid ér?
Hvad viljid thér mér? Ég thekki ydur nú.
Halló, halló, nei ert etta thú?

Og augun hennar eru bædi blá og djúp og skær,
Hún brosir dátt og hlær.

Thad lenti í drætti
Ad módir mín mig ætti
Thvi hún var svo gískid grey
En læknrinn var sóttur
Og loksins ól hún dóttur
Og thád sést ekki sætari mey
En pabbi var sjaálfur
A sjónum alltaf hálfur
Svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei
Fyrst var hann mjög sleginn
En seinna sagdi hann feginn
Ad thad sést ekki sætari mey
Sætari mey
Sætari mey
Nei thad sést ekki sætari mey
Og fyrr en mig vardi
Hver strákur á mig stardi
Eins og stelpur á gleym-mér-ei
Their fóru ad skjálfa
Og sögdu vid sig sjálfa
Hún er sorglega stygg
En mjóg trygg, ad ég hygg
Og thad sést ekki sætari mey
Ég lærdi i bernsku
Ad blikkaá finni ensku
Og min söngrödd var sweet and gay
En vestur á landi
Eg lenti í hjónabandi
Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidprúda mey
Hann lagdi í sinn vana
Ad elska Ameríkana
Svo ég kyssti hann og sagdi ok
En illt var í efni
Hann var ódamála í svefni
Og thá reyndist hann, ramm islenskt grey
Islenskt grey
Islenskt grey
Sem ásædist islenska mey
En nú er önnur öldin
Eg dansa kát á kvöldin
Og thiy kalla mig gleym-mér-ei
Og piltarnir their skjálfa
Their segja vid sig sjálfa
Nei, thú setydir mér blossandi ást
Thvílíkt hnoss!
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
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
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me, army of me
You're on your own now
We won't save you
Your rescue-squad
Is to exhausted
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
I'll pick you, I'll take you
I admit he said I did it
I'll play the fool
Underneath me
I, you
But, I told and undo
And say, undo
Live, I say
Get over the sorrow, girl
The world is always going to be made of this
You can trust in it
Unless you breathe in
Bravely
I adore how you simply surrender to high
And your lungs
They're mourning
Teepee-style
All the still-born love that could've happened
All the moments you should have embraced
All the moments you should have not locked up
Understand
So clearly
To shut yourself up
Is the hugest crime of them all
You're just crying after all
To not want them humans around
Anymore
When will it be time do 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!
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
Threading
The glacier head
Looking hard for
Moments of shine
From twilight
To twilight
Utter mundane
Aurora
Goddess sparkle
Shoot me
Beyond this suffer
The need
Is great
Aurora
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
Utter mundane
Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off me
I see who you are
Behind the skin
And the muscles
I see who you are, now
And when you get older later
I will see the same girl
The same soul
Lioness, fireheart
Passionate lover
And afterwards
Later this century
When you and I have become corpes
Let's celebrate now all this flesh on our bones
Let me push you up against me tightly
And enjoy every bit of you
Here's my version of it, eternal whirlwind
What's the lesser of two evils:
If a suicide bomber
Made to look pregnant
Manages to kill her target
Or not?
What's the lesser of two evils?
What's the lesser of two evils:
If she kills them
Or dies in vain?
Nature has fixed no limits on our hopes
What's the lesser of two evils?
What's the lesser of two evils:
If the bomb was fake
Or if it was real?
Here's my version of it
Eternal whirlwind
I have fostered since childhood
Well I don't care
Love is all
I dare to drown
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 exploring
the taste of her
arousal
so accurate
he sets off
the beauty in het
he's venus as a boy
he believes in beauty
he's venus as a boy
all the modern things
like cars and such
have always existed
they've just been waiting in a mountain
for the right moment
listening to the irritating noises
of dinosaurs and people
dabbling outside
all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
to come out
and multiply
and take over
It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill
Oh I
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
It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill
Sweetly
It's not meant to be as dry
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 as dry (surrender)
It's not meant (undo) to be a struggle uphill (undo)
It's not meant to be as dry
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill
I'm praying
To be
In a generous mode
The kindness kind
The kindness kind
To share
To share me
It's not meant to be as dry
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill
It's not meant to be as dry
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

If you're bleeding
Undo
And if you're sweating
Undo
If you're crying, darling

Oh I
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion's kiss
And through the downcast lashes
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Start your own currency!
Make your own stamp
Protect your language
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Make your own flag!
Raise your flag!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Damn colonists
Ignore their patronizing
Tear off their blindfolds
Open their eyes
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
With a flag and a trumpet
Go to the top of your highest mountain!
Raise your flag!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
The nerves are sending shimmering signals
All through my fingers
The veins support
Blood that gushes impulsively towards
Is the triumph of a heart that gives all
That gives all
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
(That celebrate)
The triumph of a heart that gives all
Smooth soft red velvety lungs
Are pushing a network of oxygen joyfully
Through a nose, through a mouth
But all enjoys, which brings us to
The triumph of a heart that gives all
There is yet another one
That follows me
Where ever I go
And supports me
This tooth is warmth-like
And these teeth are a ladder up to his mouth
These teeth are a ladder that I walk
That you can walk too if you want
If you want up to the mouth
The 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
That ghost is brighter than anyone
And fulfils me with hope
And you can use these teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
And you can follow these notes i'm singing
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
The simplicity of the ghost-like beast
The purity of what it wants and where it goes
Always love, always loves you, always loves you
Infrared love
And you can use these teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
And you can use these 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
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
Oh it never really was
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
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
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
There's too much
Clinging
To peak
There's too much
look no further
look no further
look no further
cruelest
almost
always to ourselves
it musn't
get any better
off
it's in our hands it always was
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 here : 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 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
I shake them like dice
And throw them on the table
Repeatedly
Repeatedly
Until the desired constellation appears
And I ask myself:
How am I going to make it right?
How am I going to make it right?
How am I going to make it right?
And you hear
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
On top 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
I leave her
Without pith or feel
And leave her be
Leave it 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
Who would have known
That a boy like him
Would have entered me lightly
Restoring my blisses
Who would have known
That a boy like him
After sharing my core
Would stay going nowhere
Who would have known
A beauty this immense
Who would have known
A saintly trance
Who would have known
Miraculous breath
To inhale a beard
Loaded with courage
Who would have known
That a boy like him
Possessed of magical
Sensitivity
Who would approach a girl like me
Who caresses cradles his head
In her 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 would have known
Who ahhh
Who would have known
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
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
foot soldier
march ahead
enter the unknown
you will take the first step
foot soldier
blindfolded
you're babystepping
carefully treading
blindfolded
tread carefully
conquer the darkness
into the darkness
foot soldier
and then we'll follow
but you go first
march ahead
but you go first
foot soldier
march ahead
foot soldier
I have a recurrent dream
Everytime I loose my voice
I swallow little glowing lights
My mother and son baked for me
And during the night
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
I have a recurrent dream
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
I have a recurrent dream
They make me feel better
Train-whistles, a sweet clementine
Blueberries, dancers in line
Cobwebs, a bakery sign
Ooooh - a sweet clementine
Ooooh - dancers in line
Ooooh ...
If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What happens next?
A new world, a new day to see
I'm softly walking on air
Halfway to heaven from here
Sunlight unfolds in my hair
Ooooh - I'm walking on air
Ooooh - to heaven from here
Ooooh ...
If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What happens next?
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's always someone
To catch me
There's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
When you fall
Why do I love you so much?
What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore you?
You were in a musical.
I don't mind it at all
If I'm having a ball
This is a musical!
And you were always there
To catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
When I fall...
I don't mind it at all
If you're having a ball
This is a musical!
And I will always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
You were always there to catch me
And there's always someone
To catch me
You will always be there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
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 schnitzel 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
if travel is searching
and home has been found
i'm not stopping
i'm going hunting
i'm the hunter
i'll bring back the goods
but i don't know when
thought that i could organise freedom
how scandinavian of me
you sussed it out, didn't you?
you could smell it
so you left me on my own
to complete the mission
now i'm leaving it all behind
i'm going hunting
i'm the hunter...
(you just didn't know me!)
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
31, 35, 38, 42...
48, 51, 54, 58...
64.... 68, 69.... 75...
79, 83, 86, 89.... 93...
Excuse me
But I just have to
Explode
Explode this body
Off me
I'll be brand new
Brand new tomorrow
A little bit tired
How could I be so immature ?
To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me
How could I be so immature ?
To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me.
How could I be so immature ?
Clatter, crash, clack!
Racket, bang, thump!
Rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam!
It's music! - Now dance!
Listen, Cvalda
You're the dancer
You've got the sparkle in your eyes
Look at me, entrancer!
Clatter, crash, clack...
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...
Darling Selma
Look who's dancing
Faster than a shooting star!
Cvalda's here!
Cvalda sings...
Clatter, crash, clack...
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 us around
It spins us around
It spins us around
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 have walked this earth
And watched people
It doesn't scare me at all
I can be sinsere
And say I like them
It doesn't scare me at all
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
It doesn't scare me at all
I'm no fucking buddhist
But this is enlightenment
The less room you give me
The more space I've got
It doesnt scare me at all
You can't say no to hope
Can't say no to happiness
It doesn't scare me at all
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
It doesn't scare me at all
This is an alarm-call
So wake-up, wake-up now
Today has never happened
And it doesnt frighten me
It doesn't scare me at all
You can't say no to hope
You can't say no to happiness
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 can't handle love
You just can't handle
I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms
What's so scary ?
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love
You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle
I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms
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
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
we could nick a boat
and sneak off to this island
i could bring my little ghettoblaster
there's more to life than this
but we'd have to rush back
to the towns best baker
to get the first bread of the morning
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
And the luminous beam
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
And the luminous beam
Feeds you honey, heals you
Don't get angry with yourself
I'll heal you, i'll heal you
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
trust 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
all is full of love
i miss you
but i haven't met you yet
so special
but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgeous
but i haven't met you yet
i remember
but it hasn't happened yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you
i was peaking
but it hasn't happened yet
i haven't been given
my best souvenir
i miss you
but i haven't met you yet
i know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet 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
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's 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
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's 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
I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
And when it lands
Will my eyes be closed or open?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
genius to fall asleep to your tape last night
sounds go through the muscles
these abstract wordless movements
they start off cells that haven't been touched
before
these cells are virgins
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me 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
it lulled me to sleep
i'm fast asleep now
i'm fast asleep
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
while i crawl into the unknown
cover me
i'm going hunting for mysteries
cover me
i'm going to prove the possible really exists
this is really dangerous
cover me
but worth all the effort
cover me
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 in to this to
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 whitout touching
i'm going to explore
i'm only into this to
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 need you
crying cause i care
it's a hot day
and i'm dressed lightly
i move carfully
trough the crowd
here everyone
is so vulnerable
and i'm as well
there's no-one here
and people everywhere
crying 'cause i need you
crying i can feel you
crying 'cause i need you
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 need you
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
i'll catch you
i'll catch you
destroy all that is keeping you down
and then i'll nurse you
i'll nurse you
come to me
i'll take care of you
you don't have to explain
in a forrest 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
unexplaind 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
unexplaind on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse
nana na nana
nana na nana
nana na nana
One day
It will happen
One day
It will all come true
One day
When you're ready
One day
The false in to place
The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it
I can feel it
One day
Will get lighter
One day
It will all come true
One day
It will happen
One day
It will all come true
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 beautifulness
Fireworks will burn in
In the sky
Ooh just for you
I can feel it
I can feel it
One day
One day
One day
Thad lenti í drætti, - It was quite a delay
ad módir mín mig ætti, - When my mother had me
thvi hún var svo gískid grey. - But then she's such a slender sort
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
En pabbi var sjaálfur, - My father spent usually
á sjónum alltaf hálfur, - His time at sea half-drunk
svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei. - But he could not deny me
Fyrst var hann mjög sleginn, - At first he was rather shocked
en seinna sagdi hann feginn. - But then he said, relieved
Ad thad sést ekki sætari mey. - None shall ever see a sweeter girl
Sætari mey, - Such a sweet girl
sætari mey, - Such a sweet girl
nei thad sést ekki sætari mey. - There is no sweeter girl
Og fyrr en mig vardi, - Before I knew it
hver strákur á mig stardi, - Every boy would gaze at me
eins og stelpur á gleym-mér-ei. - As girls gaze at Forget-Me-Nots
Their fóru ad skjálfa, - They'd shiver
og sögdu vid sig sjálfa, - And say to themselves
hún er sorglega stygg, - She's hard to get -
en mjóg trygg, ad ég hygg, - But very loyal, I think
og thad sést ekki sætari mey. - And there is no sweeter girl
Ég lærdi i bernsku, - I learned quite early
ad blikkaá finni ensku, - To speak proper English
og min söngrödd var sweet and gay. - And my song was sweet and gay
En vestur á landi, - But while out west
ég lenti í hjónabandi. - I stumbled into marriage
Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidprúda mey - It was sad for such a nice girl
Hann lagdi í sinn vana, - He was used to
ad elska* Ameríkana, - Loving American girls
svo ég kyssti hann og sagdi OK. - So I kissed him and said OK
En illt var í efni, - Then I discovered deceit
hann var ódamála í svefni, - When he spoke in his sleep
og thá reyndist hann, - And I found out
ramm islenskt grey. - He was very Icelandic after all
Islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander
islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander
sem ásædist islenska mey. - Who wanted an Icelandic girl
En nú er önnur öldin, - Everything has since changed
ég dansa kát á kvöldin, - Now I go dancing every night
og thiy kalla mig gleym-mér-ei. - And boys call me Forget-Me-Not
Og piltarnir their skjálfa, - And they shiver
their segja vid sig sjálfa, - They say to themselves
nei, thú setydir mér blossandi ást. - No, you send me currents of love
Thvílíkt hnoss! - Such luck!
Thvi thad sést ekki sætari mey. - Since there is no sweeter girl.
i live by the ocean
and during the night
i dive into it
down to the bottom
underneath all currents
and drop my anchor
and this is where i'm staying
darling stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
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 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
If you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused
there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible
there is no map
to human behaviour
they're terribly moody
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying
there's no map and
a compass
wouldn't help at all
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
I don't know my future after this weekend
And I don't want to
It takes courage to enjoy it
The hardcore and the gentle
I cannot 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, one touch directly makes me ecstatic
He's away, this ain't right
I'm alone, I'm taking an aeroplane
Ó, pabbi minn

Aldrei var neinn

Æskunnar ómar

Liðin er tid
er leiddir þú mig lítið barn
Brósandi blitt
þú breyttir sorg i gleði
Ó, pabbi minn
eg dáði þína léttu lund
Leikandi kátt
þú lékst þér a þínn hátt
Ó, pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást thin var
Æskunnar ómar
Sjá...
Kata, Kát med ljósa lokka,
Lífsglöd, hefur yndisthokka,
Kata, kann svo vel ad rokka rokk.
Alltaf, medan dansinn dun ar.
Djass-lynd Kata um gólfid brunar,
Elskar meira en margan grunar rokk.
Hún er smá, hyr á brá,

Hún dansar Kata mín, hún dansar
Rokk rokk rokk rokk....
Kata dansar, hún dansar rokk...
Dansar rokk, dansar rokk
Mamma - ertu vakandi mamma mín?
Mamma - ég vil koma til thín
Ó mamma - gaman væri ad vera stór
Tha vildi ég stjórna bædi hljómsveit og kór
Mamma - thú ert elskuleg, mamma mín
Mér finnst, gott ad koma til thín
Ó en mamma ádan dreymdi mig draum um thig
En datt thá framúr, og thad trufladi mig
Thú varst drottning í hárri höll
Hljómsveitin álfar, menn, og tröll
Lék thér og söng í senn
Thú varst svo stórfengleg
Tröllin thau bördu á bumburnar
Blómálfar léku á flauturnar
Fidlurnar mennskir menn
A mendólín ég
Mamma.
Allir mændum vid upp til thín
Eins og blóm thegar sólin skín
Er thínum fadmi frá
Gjafir flugu um allt
Flestum gekk vel ad gripa sitt
Gladur nádi ég fljótt í mitt
En stóll er steig ég á
Stód tæpt svo hann valt
Ó mamma- thú ert elskuleg mamma mín
Mér finnst gott ad koma til thín
Ó mamma - gaman væri ad vera stór
Thá vildi ég stjórna bædi hljómsveit og kór
Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú,
Dönsum thví, ég og thú.
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá,
Töfrabrá, logathrá.
Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér,
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér.
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál,
Unadsmál, eld í sál.
Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís,
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin.
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim,
Ut í hamingjugeim.
Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú,
Dönsum thví, ég og thú.
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá,

Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér,
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér.
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál,
Unadsmál, eld í sál.
Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís,
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin.
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim,
Ut í hamingjugeim
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
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

Ég veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg hugsa dag og nótt
Thad veldur stundum vanda
Ad vera eftirsótt!
Ég er svo ung og óreynd sál
Og eti í hug mér byr
Eg myndi kasta krónu
En their eru bara thrír
Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr
Ekki get ég kastad krónu
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír!
Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "já" eda "nei"
Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey!
Veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held ég elski hann Jón
Hann dansar eins og engill
En ekur bíl sem flón
Hann hrytur eins og hrútur
Svo ég festi ei blund á brá
Thad sagdi mér hún mamm' hans
Hún mamma hans, svei mér thá!
Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr
Ekki get ég kastad krónu
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír!

Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey!
Ég veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held ég elski hann Geir
Hann hvíslar stundum "Heyrdu!"
En sídan aldrei meir!
Ég kysst' hann eitt kvöldid
Nei, hann kyssti mig, svei mér thá!
Thá hrópadi drengur hissa:
"Nei heyrdu! Ég rak mig á!"
Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr

Hans atlot kveikja ástarbál
Svo undarlega heit

En ég sjálf veit ei meir!
Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr

Gaman er fyrir hin gódu börn,
Ad ganga med pabba út ad tjörn.
Sjá thar lítinn bra-bra-bra,
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha.
Gefa honum braud ad bíta í,
Börnin hafa svo gaman af thví.
Saddur verdur bra-bra-bra,
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha.
Úti í hólma á sér ból,
Ungunum sínum veitir skjól.
Allir eiga their sömu sæng,
Sofa undir mömmu væng.
Fara ad reyna ad fleyta sér,
Fús ad kenna theim mamma er.
Hún er theirra víta vörn,
Verndar og fædir sín litlu börn.
Eitt sinn lítinn unga ég sá,
Auminginn villtist mömmu frá.
Sífellt í hring hann synti thar,
Og sá hana ekki neins stadar.
Mamma vissi vel um thad,
Og á vængjunum sínum kom thar ad.
Ósköp gladur vard unginn thá,
Og öruggur sinni mömmu hjá.
Ef ad tjörnin okkar frys,
Uti er gaman ad sleda á ís.
Thá er oftast úti svalt,
Og aumingja bra-bra thá svo kalt,
Med kalda fætur á köldum ís,
Króknar stundum, deyr og frys.
Börnin harma bra-bra sinn,
Og búinn er söguthátturinn.
Ertu ad koma?
Já elskam min góda
Alveg hreint á minútunni

Alveg ertu ágetur
Agalega saetur,

O! Tharna er hann! Já

Uppi hann stig ég

Med hand tösku stora ég hallast ad Dóri
É gormurinn i framsaetinu stakk mig á versa stad!
En thad er nú svona ad threyja og vona
En thetta lagast fljott

Samt vid munum skjóta theim, rebba fyrir rass.

Undan theim kyngikrafti.

I saw a woman walking down my street,
Walking with grace, so beautifully carefully,
She's a big and pretty mother, big and pretty mother,
Swinging her handbag back and forth so joyfully.
She's drawing circles with her breasts in her jumper.
Give me a big mother, huge and loving one,
I can crawl upon and cling to ...
She's a large woman, warm and cuddly
Wet lady, strong mother.
She's walking down the street in front of my window
Whistling funky tunes in the ears of my neighbours.
Give me a big mother, one that would always want me,
Hot embracing mother, I can crawl upon and cling to ...
You can't be safer can't be more secure
Than with a breast in each palm,
With a breast in each palm,
That's the way I was born
And that's the way I want to die.
Give me a big mother, soft and wet one,
That would caress me
In all those special places.
Where's a strong mother,
One that squeezes me,
Björk
A day called zero,
Is the day we'll all relax,
Mountains will tumble,
With a long and heavy thump,
Dust spreads on the sky,
So the sun will grow pale,
Oil tanks tear open,
And the city livens up.
Björk and Einar
A day called zero
Björk
A day called zero,
Will be such a busy day,
Whistling marches,
I'll hoover my past away,
Controlling a bulldozer,
I will improve my town,
Stacking concrete slabs,
Me and you my pluto.
Björk and Einar
A day called zero
Björk
Will you be with me on that day?
We'll be watching and smiling,
At last it's over,
Nothing stops us now,
Come and enter,
Me let's multiply,
On a day called zero.
Björk and Einar
Eitt sinn tok eg tali gamlan totralegan mann
Eg var a vappi nidri vid hofn

Vaeri a lit I sjonum spekinginslegar syntu kyrnar
Ut a hlid Hann seli sa i singleik i silfurtitum skom
Um torgin toltu tifaelur i kjolfotum med blom
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig mer

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.

verandi
Hafandi eyravasanum
Hafandi augun skónum
Ástarbréf maganum
Vönd af kossum munninum
Kyrr!
Hafandi haf af girnd
Hafandi loðna löngun um mjaðmirnar
Hafandi sjón sem asér *gar &er slökkt
Og gott bil milli fótanna
Kyrr!
The state of
Being
Having the ear in
The pocket
Having the eye
In the shoe
Loveletters in
The stomach
Bouquet of kisses
In the mouth
Calm down!
Having an ocean
Of desire
Having a hairy
Desire around the hips
Having eyes that can
See in the dark
And too much space
Between the legs
Bærinn minn
bærinn minn og þinn
sefur sæll à kyrrð
fellur mjöll
hljótt à húmi á jörð
grasið mitt
grasið mitt og þitt
geymir mold til vors
Hjúfrar lind
leynt við brekkurót
vakir eins og við
lÃfi trútt
kyrrlátt kalda vermsl
augum djúps
útà himinfyrrð
starir stillt um nótt
Langt à burt
vakir veröld stór
grimmum töfrum tryllt
eirðarlaus
óttast nótt og dag
augu þÃn
óttalaus og hrein
brosa við mér björt
Vonin mÃn
blessað brosið þitt

You've got yourself in a fine mess there
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
Charlene, charlene, charlene ...
I have always adored your witty mouth
Charlene
Now would you please be very, very rude to them
Charlene
Charlene I'm crying so close to you darling
We're naked and laughing
You shine on my battery charlene
Let me get you out of that lady
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 so close to you darling
We're naked and laughing
You shine on my battery charlene
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
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love
Björk
Heeeeeeee how!
He how!
He how!
Einar
One person calls someone
To pour the water,
because it takes two to pour the water,
Björk
To plough takes two as well,
But only one to hold up the sky.
Einar
To plough takes two as well,
But only one to hold up the sky.
Einar
One plays the harp, beats a rock with a stick,
Björk
One plays the harp, beats a rock with a stick,
Becomes a priest at least, a delicious demon.
Einar
Least, a delicious demon.
Björk
Delicious demon, delicious demon,
Delicious demon, delicious demon
Björk
Two men need one money
But one money needs no man,
One is on ones knees, loses ones head,
Except maybe a delicious demon.
Einar
Two men need one money
But one money needs no man,
Einar and Björk
One is on ones knees, loses ones head,
Except maybe a delicious demon.
Then one is no longer, then one is no longer
Björk
No longer!
Delicious demon, oh, delicious demon,
Oh delicious, delicious demon...
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
I let you corrupt it.
Sod off!
I wont let you ruin this.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Black night is falling
The sun is gone to bed
The innocent are dreaming
As you should sleepy head
Sleepy head, sleepy head
Does it hurt?
I hurt you much more
So don't you worry
I don't know what to do
Everything just feels so wrong
Everything is right
Just stay strong
See selma, you're the one to blame
You just did what you had to do
You just did what you had to do
You just did what you had to do
You just did what you had to do
Time, it takes a tear to fall
A snake to shed it's skin
That's all the time is needed
To forgive
You are forgiven
Come on, hurry
I killed your bill
You have to hurry up
I called the police
They're just down the road
They've come for me
Why should I run?
They'll take your money
Run for your boy
See selma, you're the one to blame
You just did what you had to do
You just did what you had to do
You just did what you had to do
You just did what you had to do
Time, it takes a tear to fall
A heart to miss a beat
A snake to shed it's skin
A rose to grow a thorn
Its all the time that's needed
To forgive me
I am so sorry
I just did what I had to do
I just did what I had to do
I just did what I had to do
I've tried a lot and most things excite me.
But what tops it all is doing two things at a time.
Life and death
Glass and water
Rock and roll
Wash and dirty
Christ and Jesus
Time and hours
To drive a car and listen to music
To read a book and ride a train
Watch and maker
God and dog
Hammer and Saw
Babies and Nappies
Stop and Hold
Moon and Stars
To be enjoying combinations
turns me on
I'm into trying a lot and most things excite me.
But what tops it all is doing two things at a time.
Knife and fork
Tar and feathers
Window and Pane
Country and western
Rhythm and Blues
Yawn and Sigh
This is a lucky night for me
A night when one plus one is three
and the?
when the?
To read a letter and fall in love
To not sleep and be not unhappy
To watch tv and cuddle
Creme de la creme
Is doing two things at a time
to do two things twice at once
its so nice is there a point?
? not to happen
time and logic finally
you must enter my 2 last trips
Björk
Veik I Leikfang

Einar
This girl I know she's sick for toys, sick for toys.
She needs a new toy, a brand new toy,
She's tired of her old toy's.
She's got a big house
Full of old toys
What can she do?
She needs a new toy.
Björk
Sick sick sick for toys,
Sick sick sick for toys.
Einar
She's sick, sick for toys
She disposes of her old toys
She ... needs a new toy
And in a small garden she finds a small boy.
She smiles, she's happy she found her new toy a small boy.
She's sick for toy, she needs a new toy,
To watch her comb her hair, comb all of her hair,
Björk
Sick sick sick for toys,
Sick sick sick for toys.
Einar
She's sick, sick for toys
She's sick, sick for toys
She's really sick for toys
Einar
This girl I know found a new toy,
A boy she used him to watch her comb hair
Day in day out, night in night out,
She really was sick for toy,
In the end she fell asleep
The boy cut off her hair, all of her hair,
Threading
The glacier head
Looking hard for
Moments of shine
From twilight
To twilight
Utter mundane
Aurora
Goddess sparkle
Shoot me
Beyond this suffer
The need
Is great
Aurora
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
Utter mundane
Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off
Spark the sun off
Björk
This wasn't supposed to happen
I was happy by myself
Accidentally you seduced me
I'm in love again
I lie in my bed, Totally still
My eyes wide open, I'm in rapture
I don't believe this, I'm in love again!
This wasn't supposed to happen
I've been hit with your charm
How could you do this to me?
I'm in love again
I lie in my bed - totally still,
My eyes wide open - I'm in rapture.
I don't believe this, I'm in love again
This wasn't supposed to happen!
This wasn't supposed to happen!
Eg og hann, ég og hann...
Einar
A small story which never happened
I said ouch! this really hurts!
That can't be this has been
Practised for millions of years
Therefore we are
Yes, but I, I'm a boy
A small story which always happens
I said ouch! this really hurts!
This could well be
But this has
Been practised for millions of years
Therefore we are
Yes, but, you're a girl!
Björk
I lie in my bed - totally still
My eyes wide open - I'm in rapture
I don't believe this - I'm in love again
This wasn't supposed to happen!
I lie in my bed - totally still
My eyes wide open - I'm in rapture
I'm in rapture
You've put a seed inside me
Oh, and while you're away
Seed
It's growing silently
To be a life
Starts in my stomach
Embraces my insides
Inside
And about to reach my heart
This wasn't supposed to happen!
This wasn't supposed to happen!
Eg og hann, ég og hann...
Einar
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,

But it seems just destined to crash,

My heart is so broken,

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

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
OR IT MIGHT BE THE sound of your hello, that music I hear
I get misty, the moment you're near
Cant you see that you're leading me on?
BUT its just what I want you to do
Dont you notice HOW hopelessly I'M LOST
that why I'M followING you
Oh...
On my own
WOULD I wander through this wonderLAND alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My HAT from my glove,
Im too misty and too much in love
YOU MAY SAY that your leading me on
BUT its just, just want I want you to do
Don't you notice HOW hopelessly I'M LOST
thats why I'M followING you
On my own,
WOULD I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my RIGHT foot from MY LEFT
My HAT from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love.... love.....
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 no-one 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 no-one takes a spin
This is the next-to-last song
