Björk - Her Mother's House

The space in your voice
Shows the scale of your compassion
The tone of your voice
Reveals the space you give others

The more I love you
The stronger you become
The less you need me (Less you need)

A dry voice comes from a stingy heart
But a moist voice comes from abundance

The more I love you (Your voice)
The better you will survive
The more freedom I give you

When a mother's house
Has a room for each child
It's only describing
The interior of her heart

A balloon painted with red clay
With lubrication will not crack
But will inflate evenly
And float higher

Undo, undo, undo, undo (The four chambers)
Undo, undo (of her heart)
Undo

Björk - Cosmogony

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Was an empty sea, until a silver fox
And her cunning mate, began to sing
A song that became the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Was a cold black egg, until, the god inside
Burst out and from, its shattered shell
He made what became the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Was an endless land, until, our ancestors
Woke up and before they went back to sleep
They carved it up into the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Wasn’t even there until a sudden bang
And then there was light
Was sound
Was matter
and it all became the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
And dance eternal

Björk - Ancestress

my skull is my cathedral
where this matrimort takes place
when i was a girl she sang for me
in falsetto, lullabies with sincerity
i thank her for her integrity

my ancestress’s clock is ticking
her once vibrant rebellion is fading
i am her hopekeeper
i make sure hope is there at all times

my ancestress has left all manners
her pulsating skin rebelling
the doctors she despised
placed a pacemaker inside her

when you’re out of time
how you look back changes
did you punish us for leaving?
are you sure we hurt you
was it just not “living”?

she has idiosyncratic sense of rhythm
dyslexia, the ultimate freeform
she invents words and adds syllables
handwriting, language all her own

i don’t have that story in my mouth
when you die, you bring with you
what you’ve given

the machine of her breathed all night
while she rested
revealed her resilience
and then it didn’t
you see with your own eyes
but hear with your mother’s
there’s fear of being absorbed by the other

by now we share the same flesh
as much as i tried to escape it
this is no mediocre debris
my ancestress
this is the odour of our final parting
those have been the perfumes of separation
for centuries
ancestress!

nature wrote this psalm
it expands this realm
translucent skin
let go of a cold palm
embalmed

Björk - You've Been Flirting Again [Flirt Is a Promise Mix]

you're all I ever wanted
you're all I ever wanted

all that she said was true
all that she said was true
give her some time
give her some space
all that she said was true

all that she meant was good
all that she meant was good
give her some time
give her some space
all that she meant was good

how you reacted was right
how you reacted was right
give her some time
give her some space
how you reacted was right

you're all I ever wanted
you're all I ever wanted
you're all I ever wanted
you're all I ever wanted
you're all I ever wanted

Björk - Allow

The warm, open wind on my skin
Primordial, a plants glazed at me
With moisture directed at me, erupts
My hair fossilised with salt and crust (Crust)

Allow, allow, allow
Allow you to grow (Allow)
Allow, allow, allow, allow
Allow, allow, allow, allow me (You to grow, you to grow)
Me to grow (Me to grow, grow, grow)

Allow, allow
To grow

I look up at the treetops
I will braid those twigs together
Create a cathedral ceiling above me
How I long to float at midair
Between the branches amongst impossible magic

Allow, allow, allow
Allow you (Allow, allow, allow)
Allow, allow, allow it to happen (Allow, allow you to grow)
Oh, happen to us
Allow, allow, allow (Ooh)

I made a moon (Allow, allow)
A translucent one
Now could I (Cut it out into something)
Cut it out for someone like you
How mysterious I must feel to you
The universe and the sky too
My little phoеnix
When you burst out a song from my lips

Björk - 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

And if you complain once more
you’ll meet an 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

Björk feat. Antony Hegarty - My Juvenile

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
my juvenile
my juvenile

I truly say
you are my biggest love
I clumsily tried to
free you from me
one last embrace
to tie a sacred ribbon

this is an offer to better the last let-go
this is an offer to better the last let-go
this is an offer to better the last let-go

the intentions were pure

my juvenile (my juvenile)
my juvenile (my juvenile)
my juvenile (my juvenile)

my juvenile

Björk - Freefall

Freefall
I let myself freefall
Into your arms
Into the shape of the love we created
Our emotional hammock
Safe inside the fabric of this love-woven membrane

Everytime we kiss
Share songs and films
Hike mountains and beaches
Our joined presence gains form
Our affections captured in a structure
Visceral sculpting of our love into space

If we cling to what we used to be it will burn our soul
We'll get hurt
Unless there is absolute trust
Then we will become one
Become one

Our solar systems coalesced
Softly surrendered into itself formed a nebulous cloud
A gentle meeting of gas and dust
We amalgamate
Arctic persian compassionate
Illuminate, illuminate, illuminate, illuminate, illuminate

Björk - Isobel [Deodato Mix]

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

Nana na nana : nana na nana
Nana na nana : nana na nana

Björk - 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

I play dead

It stops the hurting

I play dead

It stops the hurting

I play dead

It stops the hurting

I play dead

It stops the hurting

Björk - 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

Björk - Arisen My Senses

Just that kiss

Was all there is

Every cell in my body

Lined up for you

Legs a little open

Once again

Awaken my senses

Head topless

Arisen my senses

Just that kiss

Was all there is

My palms pulsating of

The things I want to do to you

Just that kiss

Is all there is

Weaving a mixtape

With every crossfade

For him a he

Is WWW

For him a he

Is WWW

Once again

Weaving a mixtape

With every song

For who I am

For, for, with love

With love

Awaken my senses

Just that kiss

Once again

Was all there is

Just that kiss

Once again

Arisen my senses

Was all there is

Once again

Just that kiss

Arisen my senses

Was all there is

For him a he

Once again I'm made to merge

With him, for him a he

I'm made to merge

With him, for him a he

Am I keen, or keen, or not keen?

For him a he

Too keen, too seen, to be seen

Am I keen, or keen, or not keen?

Once again I'm made to merge

With him, by him, he sees me for who I

Am I keen, or keen, or not keen?

To be seen or not seen

With him a he

Am I keen, or keen, or not keen?

With him, him, he sees me for who I am

Björk - You've Been Flirting Again

all that she said was true

all that she said was true

all that she meant was good

all that she meant was good

give her some time

give her some space

all that she meant was good

how you reacted was right

how you reacted was right

give her some time

give her some space

how you reacted was right

Björk - History of Touches

i wake you up

in the middle of the night

to express my love for you

stroke your skin and feel you

naked i can feel all of you

at the same moment

i wake you up

in the night feeling

this is our last time together

therefore sensing all the moments

we've been together

being here at the same time

every single touch

we ever touch each other

every single fuck

we had together

is in a wondrous time lapse

with us here at this moment

the history touches

every single archive

compressed into a second

all with us here as i wake you up

Björk - 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'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

When I'd fall...

Björk - 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 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

In a hidden place

Björk - 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 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

I dare you, I dare you

Björk - Saint

She always knows when people need stroking
And is attracted to deathbeds and divorces
I dreamt she cared for my dying grandfather
Lying naked face down on his bed
She insists on total presence
And knows how to get through to the rest of us
She has entered me thousandfold often
And undone knots at my most awkward

Music loves too

She reaches out to orphans and refugees
Embraces them with thermal blankets
Her favorite childhood moments
Were at a hospital for the disabled
I've seen her offer empathy to widows
She attends funeral of strangers
Her strongest memory
Is feeding children with leprosy

Music heals too
I'm here to defend it...

Björk - It's In Our Hands

look no further
look no further
i look no further

cruelest, almost
always to ourselves
it mustn'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
i 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

Björk - Unison

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

Unison
Unison
Unison
