B i o g r a p h y
&(by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)
first came to prominence as one of the lead vocalists of the avant-pop
Icelandic sextet the Sugarcubes, but when she launched a solo career after
the group's 1992 demise, she quickly eclipsed her old band's popularity.
Instead of following in the Sugarcubes' arty guitar rock pretensions,
Bj?rk immersed herself in dance and club culture, working with many of the
biggest names in the genre, including Nellee Hooper, Underworld, and
Tricky. Debut, her first solo effort (except for an Icelandic-only smash
released when she was just 11 years old), not only established her new
artistic direction, but it became an international hit, making her one of
the '90s most unlikely stars. Though the title of Debut implied that it
was Bj?rk's first-ever solo project, she had actually been a professional
vocalist since she was a child. When she was in elementary school in
Reykjavik, she studied classical piano and, eventually, her teachers
submitted a tape of her singing Tina Charles' &I Love to Love& to
Iceland's Radio One. After &I Love to Love& was aired, a record label
called Falkkin offered Bj?rk a record contract. At the age of 11, her
eponymous firs the record contained covers of several
pop songs, including the Beatles' &Fool on the Hill,& and boasted artwork
from her mother and guitar work from her stepfather. Bj?rk became a hit
within Iceland and was not released in any other country. Bj?rk's musical
tastes were changed by the punk revolution of the late '70s; in 1979, she
formed a post-punk group called Exodus and, in the following year, she
sang in Jam 80. In 1981, Bj?rk and Exodus bassist Jakob Magnusson formed
Tappi Tikarrass, which released an EP, Bitid Fast I Vitid, on Spor later
it was followed by the full-length Miranda in 1983. Following
Tappi Tikarrass, she formed the goth-tinged post-punk group KUKL with
Einar Orn Benediktsson. KUKL released two albums, The Eye (1984) and
Holidays in Europe (1986), on Crass Records before the band metamorphosed
into the Sugarcubes in the summer of 1986. The Sugarcubes became one of
the rare Icelandic bands to break out of their native country when their
debut album, Life's Too Good, became a British and American hit in 1988.
For the next four years, the group maintained a successful cult following
in the U.K. and the U.S. while they were stars within Iceland During 1990,
Bj?rk recorded a set of jazz standards and originals with an Icelandic
bebop group called Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar. The album, Gling-Gló, was
released only in Iceland. By 1992, tensions between Bj?rk and Einar had
grown substantially, which resulted in the band splitting apart. Following
the breakup of the group, Bj?rk moved to London, where she began pursuing
a dance-oriented solo career. The previous year, she had sung on 808
State's &Ooops,& which sparked her interest in club and house music.
struck up a working relationship with Nellee Hooper, a producer who had
formerly worked with Soul II Soul and Massive Attack. The first result of
their partnership was &Human Behaviour,& which was released in June of
1993. &Human Behaviour& became a Top 40 hit in the U.K., setting the stage
for the surprising number three debut of the full-length album, Debut.
Throughout 1993, Bj?rk had hit U.K. singles — including &Venus as a Boy,&
&Big Time Sensuality,& and the non-LP &Play Dead,& a collaboration with
David Arnold taken from the film Young Americans — as well as modern rock
radio hits in the U.S., and in both countries she earned rave reviews. At
the end of the year, NME magazine named Debut the album of the year, while
she won International Female Solo Artist and Newcomer at the BRIT A
Debut went gold in the U.S. and platinum in the U.K. During 1994, Bj?rk
was relatively quiet as she recorded her second album with Nellee Hooper,
Tricky, 808 State's Graham Massey, and Howie B of Mo' Wax R she
also released a remix EP, co-wrote the title track for Madonna's Bedtime
Stories, and performed on MTV Unplugged that same year. &Army of Me,& the
first single from Bj?rk's forthcoming album, was released as a teaser
single in the spring of 1995; it debuted at number ten in the U.K. and
became a moderate alternative rock hit in the U.S. Post, her second album,
was released in June of 1995 it peaked at number two
in the U.K. and number 32 in the U.S. Post matched its predecessor in
terms of sales and praise, going gold in the U.S. and helping her earn her
second BRIT Award for Best International Female Artist. Post yielded the
British hit singles &Isobel& (number 23), &It's Oh So Quiet& (number
four), and &Hyperballad& (number eight), yet her singles failed to make
much headway on American radio or MTV. Late in 1996, Bj?rk released
Telegram, an album comprised of radical remixes of the entire Post album,
in the U.K.; Telegram was released in America in January 1997. Homogenic,
her most experimental studio effort to date, followed later that same year
and spawned many remix releases in the next few years to follow. In the
spring of 2000, she was named Best Actress by jurors at the Cannes Film
Festival for her work in Lars von Trier's Palme d'Or-winning Dancer in the
Dark. Selmasongs, her score for the film, reunited Bj?rk with her
Homogenic collaborator Mark Bell and arrived in the fall of 2000, just in
time for Dancer in the Dark's U.S. release. The full-length follow-up,
Vespertine, was released one year later. She released a Greatest Hits
collection and the Family Tree box set late in 2002. After performing a
few dates in 2003, Bj?rk geared up for a busy 2004, which included the
release of her all-vocals and vocal samples-based album Medúlla and a
performance of one of its songs, &Oceania,& at the 2004 Summer Olympics in
Athens, Greece.

Þa& var i
N&turlestinni i Kairo
Þa& sem ég hitti arabadreng
Sem si&an aldrei úr huga mér hverfur
Eg elska hann
Hann sag&i s?gur af úfalda sínum
Og s?ng um vatni& í vinjum og ám
Hann brá upp myndum me& t?frandi línum
Eg elska hann
Þa& var vor og sól
Daginn eftir fór ég a& hitta hann
Vi& fórum ni&r'a& níl
Vi& &urftum engan bíl, a&eins úfaldann
Hann fór og s?ndi mér p?ram?da
Rétt vi& j?a&ar Sahara sands
Og aug'ans lystu vi& steinana hvíta
Eg elska hann
? Nílarb?kkum vi& gengum og sungum
Um lífsins gle&i, fegur& og ást
Eg fylltist anda úr framandi tungum
Eg elska hann
Þa& var vor og sól
Fuglar sungu í kór a& ég hitti hann
Vi& fórum ni&r'a& níl
Vi& &urftum engan bíl, a&eins úfaldann
Hann kvaddi mig me& tárvotum augum
A lestarsto&inni daginn &ann
Er ástin brann svo heitt í mínum taugum
Eg vissi ég s&i aldrei aftur hann
Mig dreymir oft um drenginn minn frí&a
Og &á er lífi& ljúft í nál&g& hans
Hann hefur st&kka&, &ví árin &au lí&a
Eg elska hann
Hér uppá ?slandi gr&t ég í leynum
Og leita'a& merkjum sem minna á hann
Eg sé hans andlit í stokkum og steinum
Eg elska hann
Þa& var vor og sól
Fuglar sungu í kór a& ég hitti hann
Vi& fórum ni&r'a& níl
Vi& &urftum engan bíl, a&eins úfaldann
Hann kvaddi mig me& tárvotum augum
A lestarsto&inni daginn &ann
Er ástin brann svo heitt í mínum taugum
Eg vissi ég s&i aldrei aftur hann
Mig dreymir oft um drenginn minn frí&a
Og &á er lífi& ljúft í nál&g& hans

Arabian Boy
It was in the nighttrain in Cairo
Where I found an arabian boy
Whom since then never left my thoughts
I love him
He told me stories from his dromedary
And sang of water in oasis and rivers
He drew me pictures with magical lines
I love him
There was spring and sun
The next day I left to look for him
We went down the Nile
We didn't need a car, just a dromedary
He went and showed me the pyramids
Right by edge of Sahara sands
And his eyes lit up by the white stones
I love him
By the Nile's bank we walked and sang
About lifes joy, beauty and love
I felt inspired by other foreign tongues
I love him
There was spring and sun
Birds sung in choir when i found him
We went down the Nile
We didn't need a car, just a dromedary
He left me with tears in his eyes
On the railway station that day
Although love burned hot in my nerves
I knew I would never see him again
I often dream of my fair boy
And life is sweet when I'm close to him
He has grown, as the years have passed
I love him
Here back in Iceland I cried in lonliness
And searched for marks to remind me of him
I see his face in sticks and stones
I love him
There was spring and sun
Birds sung in choir when i found him
We went down the Nile
We didn't need a car, just a dromedary
He left me with tears in his eyes
On the railway station that day
Although love burned hot in my nerves
I knew I would never see him again
I often dream of my fair boy
And life is sweet when I'm close to him
He has grown, as the years have passed
I love him
Here back in Iceland I cried in lonliness
And searched for marks to remind me of him
I see his face in sticks and stones
I love him
There was spring and sun
Birds sung in choir when i found him
We went down the Nile
We didn't need a car, just a dromedary
?g tók eitt hár ú hala &ínum
Og lag&i &a& svo undusmátt á j?r&ina

I took a hair from your tail
And put it carefully on the ground
Then there sprung up water at my thirst
I know it was also good for the earth
You are so good, cow cow - my Búkolla
Your advice saved us, cow cow - my Búkolla
So deep and blue, your eyes - oh my friend
Me and you, we are alone
And fleeing from two giantesses
Further, further, further we run
I took a hair from your tale
And left it on the ground
Then fier sprung up to my cold
I know it whas also good for the earth
You are so good, cow cow - my Búkolla
Your advice saved us, cow cow - my Búkolla
So deep and blue, your eyes - oh my friend
Me and you, we are alone
And fleeing from two giantesses
Further, further, further we run
I took a hair from your tail
And put it carefully on the ground
Then there sprung up a mountain, that gave warmth
I know it whas also good for the earth
&* Name of a cow in old Icelandic story
Eitt sinn tók ég tali gamlan t?tralegan mann

One day I talked to old man in ragged clothes
I was walking near the harbour - he stood on the docks
He told me about the special country, far away it is
and now it's like something has burst inside me
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
The old man told me that the sun was seagreen over there
in the sea there were wise cows swimming on the side
a seal was in a musical in silvercoloured shoes
in the squares roamed centipedes in flowery tuxedos
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Hey - Alta Mira - lalalalala-lala...

My little girl, who plays so well
The day has passed and the night has come
Time now to take your clothes off
Wash the fingers, or what do you think?
Give me a pillow and give me a blanket
Give me a bed that has two sets of wings
There I will fly in the home of my mind
And go in a dream to the huge universe
Then fly my friend in the mind
Visit Venus and Mercury
There you will meet a beautiful wife
Who brings you presents, or what do you think?
From earth the the route leads to Mars
Where shoals of trouts and salmon play
Delays are expected at Jupiters moon
And ... , or what do you think?
Give me a pillow and give me a blanket...
In saturn they dance around the clock
Shot the clubs with a uranus swing
In Neptunus city you may build your home
And travel to Pluto, or what do you think?
Give me a pillow and give me a blanket...

In Valhalla a long time ago a beautiful boy
They put in chains
They nailed him so high upon a cross
And they called him a slave
Oliver - lovely
Oliver - glorious
Oliver - your bonds are untied now
Oliver - pleasant

Oliver - all the lands quiver now
No-one will understand the trials that
He had to endure
He did it for me and you
For all the truth
Oliver - lovely...
You soul is home to spirit and ...
The first and the last
You gave them the knowledge - oh, oh, oh
You can hear high in the skies now
About your legend
Oliver - you get your victorious reward
You get your victorious reward
Though your hand is cold
Oliver - you get your victorious reward
You get your victorious reward
My beloved hand - break the ties now!
Oliver - lovely...

from a hill
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The strange guy
Where the roster crowed
No one wants to know about him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
Ask him for a help
He comes quickly
He that has thousand voices
Whisper the truth quickly
No one wants to listen to him
Or the sound in a secret song
Which he doesn't know at all
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
No one wants to see him
In the hut in the south with a lake
He still holds out alone
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
No one wants to listen to him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world

The little boy he crawls to his knees
Crosses his hands so that God can see
Hush - quiet - what?
The little boy who says his prayers
Good God don't go away from mommy
She undresses me and bathes and stays with me
Then she dresses me in warm nightgown
God bless daddy 'cause I forgot
When I think of what happened today
A little song comes to mind
I must not stop saying my prayer
Forgive me God, I ask you kindly
My nightgown has a hood
Inside the hood I hide my head
It covers my eyes and my forehead aswell
Nobody knows that I am there
Thank you God for a good day
Did I forget something, what was it?
I prayed for daddy and thought of you
Yes now I remember - God bless me
The little boy sleeps well now
The day is over, the night has come
Hush - quiet - what?
The little boy who said his prayers

Lovers hold the moon so dear
Around them falls its magic light
Lási wore his groom's garb
Soon from Lína came his reply
Cling clong, the clock rang
The moon smiled above the clouds
Lási wore a happy smile
For Lína answered yes
Cling clong, the clock rang
The moon smiled above the clouds
Lighting up the old street
Where merrily Lína stood
Cling clong, the clock rang
The moon smiled above the clouds
Lási from Leiti was on his way
To Lína awaiting him
Lovers hold the moon so dear
Around them falls its magic light
Lási wore his groom's garb

Lási wore a happy smile
For Lína answered yes
Cling clong, Cling clong, Cling clong

Lantern Gvendur
He brought light in both his hands
Around the town each night
Lamplighter-Gvendur from long long ago
By his grey hair he was known
Gleaming by the lanterns light
Lamplighter-Gvendur from long long ago
He could be heard walking calmly and quietly
Down every street during the night
His heart would smile with joy
If a young boy and girl
He saw, he would not light his lamp
Leaving them in the shade of darkness
And he reminisced about his youth
And he looked back on his sweet love
When he hugged tight his sweet young girl
He brought light in both his hands
Around the town each night

& BangThe commitees
are bad, heavy is their load
We will however beat their asses
Because we can delay the christmas to march
If only we want to
It is like I hear crackles and bangs
From the awesome power
When you, down in congress, whip their asses
With your thunderous mouth
Yes, the ruralparty I break back
Like a leaky wreck
Yes, maybe I should
Lift the house and blow off the green copper roof
Yes, it will make him happy
Lighten his dark days
As the small children buy a ki-li-li-lo
Of fruits for their belly
Yes, merrily I will sing he-le-le-lo
Also ding-ding-dong
It will all be sold out
Though I seldomly find that we ever have sold enough!

With Cupid have often I quarreled
But never taken such a blow
He aimed his arrows at me
And it was I who fell
Oft with Cupid have I quarreled
When upon me his magic falls
Love owns my thoughts and once again I
Can offer no resistance
I've fallen at your feet
Forgive me, for I love you
I am conquered completely
And only you can save me
With Cupid have I often quarreled
But never taken such a blow
Love owns my thoughts and I am tied up
Because it was I who fell
I've fallen at your feet
Forgive me, for I love you
I am conquered completely
And only you can save me
With Cupid have I often quarreled
But never taken such a blow
Love owns my thoughts and I am tied up
Because it was I who fell
Yes, love owns my thoughts and I am tied up
Because it was I who fell

Þá vildi ég stjórna - b&&i hljómsveit og kór
Mamma - &ú ert elskuleg, mamma mín
Mér finnst - gott a& koma til &ín
O en mamma - á&an dreymdi mig draum um &ig
En datt &á framúr - og &a& trufladi mig
Þú varst drottning í hárri h?ll
Hljómsveitin álfar, menn og tr?ll
Lék &ér og s?ng í senn
Þú varst svo stórfengleg
Tr?llin &au b?r&u á bumburnar
Blómálfar léku á flauturnar

A mandólín, ég
Allir m&ndum vi& upp til &ín
Eins og blóm &egar sólin skín
Er &ínum fa&mi frá

The little
Mama - are you awake my mama?
Mama - I want to come close to you
Oh mama - it would be so fun to be grown up
Then I would conduct both an orchestra and choir
Mama - you are lovely, my mama
I - like coming closer to you
Oh but Mama - earlier I dreamt a dream of you
I fell out of bed - and it upset me so
You were a queen in a tall palace
A band of elves, men and trolls
Played for you and sang
You were so magnificent
The trolls they pounded the drums
Flower-elves played the flutes
The violins, by human beings
On mandolin, me
All of us gazed up at you
Just like flowers when the sun shines
And from your embrace
Gifts flew everywhere
Most easily caught theirs
Gladly I quickly reached mine
But the chair on which I perched
Tipped over, so it fell
Mama - you are lovely, my mama
I like coming close to you
Oh mama - it would be so fun to be grown up
Then I would conduct both an orchestra and choir
Þa& Sést Ekki S&tari Mey
Þad lenti í
A& mó&ir mín mig &tti
Þvi hún var svo gíski& grey
En l&knrinn var sóttur
Og loksins ól hún dóttur
Og &a& sást ekki s&tari mey
En pabbi var& sjálfur
A sjónum alltaf hálfur
Svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt n&
Fyrst var& hann mj?g sleginn
En seinna sagdi hann feginn
A& &a& sést ekki s&tari mey
S&tari mey
S&tari mey
N&, &a& sést ekki s&tari mey
Og fyrr en mig var&i
Hver strákur á mig star&i
Eins og stelpur á gleym-mér-ei
Þeir fóru a& skjálfa
Og s?g&u vi& sig sjálfa:
Hún er sorglega stygg
En mj?g trygg - a& ég hygg
Og &a& sést ekki s&tari mey
?g l&r&i i bernsku
A& blikk' á finni ensku
Og min s?ngr?dd var &sweet and gay&
En vestur á landi
Eg lenti í hjónabandi
Þa& er sorglegt fyrir si&prú&a mey
Hann lag&i í sinn vana
A& elska Ameríkana
Svo ég kyssti hann og sag&i &okay&
En illt var í efni
Hann var ó&amála í svefni
Og &á reyndist hann, ramm ?slenskt grey
?slenskt grey
?slenskt grey
Sem hann ás&&ist ?slenska mey
En nú er ?nnur ?ldin
Eg dansa kát á kv?ldin
Og &au kalla mig gleym-mér-ei
Og piltarnir &eir skjálfa
Þeir segja vi& sig sjálfa:
N&, &ú sendir mér blossandi ást - &vílíkt hnoss!
Þvi &a& sést ekki s&tari mey
None sweeter than me can be seen
It was quite a delay
When my mother had me
For she was such a slender sort
The doctor was fetched
And finally her daughter was born
And none sweeter than me was ever seen
My father spent usually
His time at sea half-drunk
But he could not deny me
At first he was rather shocked
But then he said, relieved
That none sweeter than me can be seen
Sweeter than me
Sweeter than me
No none sweeter than me can be seen
Before I would know it
Every boy would stare at me
The way girls do at forget-me-nots
They would shiver
And say to themselves:
She is hard to get
But very secure - I would think
And none sweeter than me can be seen
I learned while in childshoes
To speak proper English
And my songvoice was &sweet and gay&
But westwards in the country
I stumbled into marriage
It was sad for a nice girl like me
He had put into habit
To love all Americana
So I kissed him and said &okay&
Then I discovered deceit
When he spoke in his sleep
And I found out, he was very Icelandic after all
Just Icelandic
Just Icelandic
Who wanted an Icelandic me
But now things are different
I go dancing merrily at night
And they call me Forget-me-not
And the boys all shiver
They say to themselves:
No, you sending me currents of love - what luck!
'Cause none sweeter than me can be seen

Car SongAre
you coming?
Yes my dear
Right this minute
Hey - you have a new car?
You're really great
And very sweet
To be inviting me
That's a really great style
And if it snows
We have plenty of
Snowchains to get us
Safely all the way
The lovely Dóri
My big and strong one
He drives so well
Though the road is not wide
Oh - there he is!
Yeah, and it's gotta be cool
And a Ford model nineteen hundred
And-I-don't-know-what
I step up into him
And I fly on wings of love
And on to Mosfellstown
In an adventure-hunt
With my big handbag
I lean against Dóri
A spring in the front seat
Stung me in the worst place!
But that's how things are
You suffer through it
But i'll be better soon
My Dóri makes sure of that
The chain is worn
And broke under the car
Crawl under the car, Dóri
Try and hurry up
Are you completely crazy?
Oh yes my goodness!
There you've torn my stocking!
My dear, I will
Never again go out with you
Alone - I swear that I have
Never in my life recalled
Riding in such a car
Oh now the tire burst
And the noise!
And in the end it runs right
Into a heap of mud

On a tropical
I saw you, my love, for the first
You sat by my side on the sand
We sang, hugged and kissed
Drank, danced and kissed
Never can I forget your dark eyes
And never would two happier hearts beat
So carefree and ecstatic
In your arms I lay
And often have I loved since then
But never as hot as then
Never as hot as then
I would most of all have spent all my life sleeping
At your side in a small native hut
On a tropical sunny day
I saw you, my love, for the first
You sat by my side on the sand
We sang and kissed
Drank, danced and kissed
Never can I forget your dark eyes
And never would two happier hearts beat
So carefree and ecstatic
In your arms I lay
And often have I loved since then
But never as hot as then
Never as hot as then
I would most of all have spent all my life sleeping
At your side in a small native hut

don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
I ponder day and night
It's troublesome at times
To be as popular as I
I'm just a young and simple soul
And doubt still fills my mind
I'd choose by tossing a coin
But the boys I know are three
How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love as they are three
It's hard to have to say
To this one &yes& or &no&
If I should choose to love all three, i'll end up all alone
I don't know what to say
I think I love that Jón
He dances like an angel
But drives a car like mad
He snores just like a ram
Wo I can't sleep a wink
At least, that's what his mama said
And his mama - i'll be damned!
How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love as they are three
It's hard to have to say
To this one &yes& or &no&
If I should choose to love all three, i'll end up all alone
Don't know what to say
I think I do love Geir
He used to whisper, &Listen...&
But never ever more
I kissed him on one night
No - he kissed me, i'll be damned!
Then he called out in surprise
&no listen - I just bumped into you!&
How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love as they are three
It's hard to have to say
To this one &yes& or &no&
If I should choose to love all three, i'll end up all alone
I don't know what to say
I think I do love Svein
I never really dare
To be with him all alone
His caresses spark a loving flame
So strange and burning hot
That's what Svana and Gunna say
But I could not say myself
How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love as they are three
It's hard to have to say
To this one &yes& or &no&
If I should choose to love all three, i'll end up all alone&
Sér&u rúmbudansinn duna nú,

dance with you
See the rhumbadance is drumming now
Dance therefor, me and you
Gliding easily around the floor to and fro
Magic skin, burning desire
Am I dreaming or are you here?
Yet tonight, alone with me
These arms of yours awake a burning love
Pleasure, fire in the soul
Dance together until day rises
Though you hide I remember you
And your hand leading my hand home
Out to a world of happiness
By your beautiful loving fiery eyes
I'm swept away tonight
The deep dew softly shoots to ground
Mildly and quietly comes the night***
Thanx a lot to

children by the pond
It's fun for the good children
To walk with Daddy to the pond
See a little quack-quack-quack
And the children enjoy themselves, ha-ha-ha
Give it some bread to bite into
The children enjoy this so much
All full is the quack-quack-quack
And the children enjoy themselves, ha-ha-ha
In the islet she has a nest
Sheltering her ducklings
They all share the same blanket
Sleeping under mommy's wing
They try and learn to swim themselves
Happy to teach them, mommy is
She is their sensible defender
Shelters and feeds her little babies
Once a little duckling I saw
The poor thing had gotten lost from it's mother
It kept swimming in circles
And could not see her anywhere
Mother knew very well about this
And her wings brought her there
Terribly glad was the ducking then
And safe with his mommy again
If our pond freezes
It is fun to sled out on the ice
Out there it is usually quite chilly
And poor quack-quack is so cold
With cold feet on cold ice
He sometimes freezes and dies
The children mourn their quack-quack
And so our story ends
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
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

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....

Can't help....help....help
Loving that man....man....man
Man of mine....mine....mine
I just can't help
&If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there's no map
They're terribly moody
And human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh oh, and there's no map
Human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
And there's no map
And a compass

All around the city
Go in and out of
Locomotives
&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 carefully
Through the crowd
Here everyone
Is so vulnerable
And i'm as well
There's no-one here
And people everywhere
Crying 'cause I 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
Crying I can feel you
Crying 'cause I need you
Crying 'cause I care

More To Life Than This
Come on girl
Let's sneak out of this party
It's getting boring
There's more to life than this
It's still early morning
We could go down to the harbour
And jump between the boats
And see the sun come up
Sample : There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
I 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
Sample : There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this X4
someone in love
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
I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things
Like someone in love
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things
Like someone in love
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Like someone in love
Like someone in love
*** Thanx a lot to
who corrected a mistake ***
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
&One day, it will happen
One day, one day
It will all come true.
&One day, when you're ready
One day, one day
When you're up to it
&The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it
One day, it will happen
One day, one day
It will all make sense.
One day, one day
You will blossom
One day, one day
When you're ready
An aeroplane
Will curve gracefully
Around the volcano
With the eruption that never lets you down
&I can feel it, I can feel it
And the beautifullest
Fireworks are burning
In the sky just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it
One day, one day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day, one day
I can not live
Peacefully without you
For even a moment
I miss you terribly
When you're away
&He's away
This ain't right
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart
Out of all the people in the world
Can make me complete
One word, one word on the phone
Makes me happy
One touch, but one touch directly
Makes me ecstatic
This ain't right
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart
Come To Me
Come to me
I'll take care of you
Protect you
Calm, calm down
You're exhausted
Come lie down
You don't have to explain
I understand
That I adore you
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm
Your building's on fire
And 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
I'll touch you
That I adore you
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm
&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
If you don't get here
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
With ecstatic music on
Violently happy
I'm getting too drunk
Violently happy
I'm daring people
To jump off roofs with me
Can clam me down
I'm aiming too high
The Anchor
&I live by the ocean
And during the night
I dive into it
Down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
And drop my anchor
This is where I'm staying
This is my home
&I live by the ocean
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
&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
You've got to manage
I won't sympathize
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
You'll meet an army of me

Hyper-ballad
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way to start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's real early morning
No-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open
&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 ) ...

They've just been waiting in a mountain

The sun sets

There's a sun when he
