HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
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 irristible There's 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 Human behaviour |

CRYING
I travel All around the city Go in and out of Locomotives All alone There's no one here And people everywhere CHORUS 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 carefully Through the crowd Here everyone Is so vulnerable And I'm aswell There's no one herer And people everywhere CHORUS 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 Crying 'cause I need you |

VENUS AS A BOY
His wicked sense of humour Suggests exciting sex His fingers focus on her Touches, he's Venus as a boy CHORUS 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 her He's Venus as a boy CHORUS |

THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS
Come on girl Let's sneak out of this party It's getting boring There's more to life than this It's still early morning We could go down to the harbour And jump between the boats And see the sun come up 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 then we'd have to rush back To the town's best baker To get the first bread of the morning There's more to life than this |

LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars Hearing guitars like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings And to sing like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud And feeling like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings Run into things like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud And feeling like someone in love Like someone in love Like someone in love |

BIG TIME SENSUALITY
I can sense it Something important Is about to happen It's coming up CHORUS 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 CHORUS |
|
ONE DAY
One day It will happen One day, one day It will all come true One day When you're ready One day, one day When you're up to it The atmosphere Will get lighter And two suns ready To shine just for you I can feel it One day It will happen One day, one day It will all make sense One day, one day You will blossom One day, one day When you're ready An aeroplane Will curve gracefully Around the volcano With the eruption that never lets you down I can feel it And the beautifullness Fireworks will burn In the sky just for you I can feel it One day One day |
|
AEROPLANE
I can not live Peacefully without you For even a moment I miss you terribly When you're away CHORUS 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 on the phone Makes me happy But one touch directly Makes me ecstatic CHORUS |
|
COME TO ME
Come to me I'll take care of you Protect you Calm, calm down You're exhausted Come lie down You don't have to explain I understand You know That I adore you You know That I love you So don't make me say it It would burst the bubble Break the charm Jump off Your building's on fire I'll catch you I'll catch you Destroy all that is keeping you back And then I'll nurse you I'll nurse you Come to me I'll take care of you You don't have to explain I understand |

VIOLENTLY HAPPY
Since I met you This small town hasn't got room For my big feelings Violently happy 'Cause I love you Violently happy But you're not here Violently happy Come calm me down Before I get into trouble I tip-toe down to the shore Stand by the ocean Make it roar at me And I roar back Violently happy 'Cause I love you Violently happy But you're not there 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 Call calm me down I'm sitting too high Soothe me |

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

The Anchor Song
Dans The Anchor Song, l'héroïne, c'est l'Islande. Ce morceau est sorti en 1993 mais son origine remonte à 1990. A cette époque, Björk confie son fils Sindri à une nourrice pour faire le tour d'Islande à bicyclette, un périple que la chanteuse qualifie de "grand besoin de liberté".
L'objectif de ce voyage : visiter la centaine de petites églises installées dans les fermes islandaises. "J'allais à vélo d'une ferme à l'autre et je demandais au fermier si je pouvais jouer de l'orgue", explique la chanteuse. "Je jouais pendant une heure ou deux, tout en admirant la beauté des chapelles, puis je me dirigeais vers la suvante. J'ai composé plein de mélodies, dont The Anchor Song."
violently happy
Le morceau Violently Happy contient une autre sorte de nostalgie, celle de l'être aimé. Björk décrit une relation de dépendance absolue entre un homme et une femme, une addiction qui peut conduire à la folie et l'autodestruction.
play dead
Play Dead est une chanson écrite à la demande du cinéaste David Arnold pour la bande sonore du film homonyme. Björk n'a eu, en tout et pour tout, qu'une ligne instrumentale de basse composée par Jah Wrobble et un bref résumé du scénario pour composer une mélodie et des paroles.
La chanteuse a alors demandé au réalisateur de lui décrire les sentiments que devait refléter le morceau et la réponse laconique d'Arnold a été :"C'est comme quand on dort." Le reste était son affaire à elle.
