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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - Hunter

If travel is searching
and home what's 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

I thought 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)

Björk - Jóga

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
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

Björk - Hyperballad

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

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
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

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

Björk - Big Time Sensuality

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

It takes courage to enjoy it
The hardcore and the gentle
Big time sensuality.

We just met
And I know I'm a bit too intimate
But something huge is coming up
And we're both included.

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
Big time sensuality
Sensuality

Björk - Pagan Poetry

Pedalling through
The dark currents
I find an accurate copy
A blueprint
Of the pleasure in me

Swirling black lilies totally ripe

A secret code carved : a secret code carved

Swirling black lilies totally ripe

He offers a handshake
Crooked
Five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched

Swirling black lilies totally ripe

On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
Is pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

Swirling black lilies totally ripe

Morse : coded : signals
They pulsate : they wake me up
From my
Hibernate

On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
Is pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

I love him

This time : I'm gonna keep me to myself
This time : I'm gonna keep my all to myself

She loves him

But he makes me want to hand myself over

She loves him

Björk - Human Behaviour

If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready be ready to get confused

There's definitely definitely definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so yet so irresistible

And there's no map to human behaviour

They're terribly terribly terribly terribly moody
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so ever so satisfying

And there's no map
And a compass wouldn't help at all

Björk - All Is Full of Love

You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it

Maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours

Maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

Trust your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you

All is full of love : you just ain't 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

Björk - Bachelorette

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're bird on the brim
Hypnotized by the whirl

Drink me - make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
The game we're playing is life
Love's 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
A secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruders hand
I'm the branch that you break

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
