| Arabadrengurinn Það var i Næturlestinni i Kairo Það sem ég hitti arabadreng Sem siðan aldrei úr huga mér hverfur Eg elska hann Hann sagði sögur af úfalda sínum Og söng um vatnið í vinjum og ám Hann brá upp myndum með töfrandi línum Eg elska hann Það var vor og sól Daginn eftir fór ég að hitta hann Við fórum niðr'að níl Við þurftum engan bíl, aðeins úfaldann Hann fór og sýndi mér pýramýda Rétt við j´aðar Sahara sands Og aug'ans lystu við steinana hvíta Eg elska hann Á Nílarbökkum við gengum og sungum Um lífsins gleði, fegurð og ást Eg fylltist anda úr framandi tungum Eg elska hann Það var vor og sól Fuglar sungu í kór að ég hitti hann Við fórum niðr'að níl Við þurftum engan bíl, aðeins úfaldann Hann kvaddi mig með tárvotum augum A lestarstoðinni daginn þann Er ástin brann svo heitt í mínum taugum Eg vissi ég sæi aldrei aftur hann Mig dreymir oft um drenginn minn fríða Og þá er lífið ljúft í nálægð hans Hann hefur stækkað, því árin þau líða Eg elska hann Hér uppá Íslandi græt ég í leynum Og leita'að merkjum sem minna á hann Eg sé hans andlit í stokkum og steinum Eg elska hann Það var vor og sól Fuglar sungu í kór að ég hitti hann Við fórum niðr'að níl Við þurftum engan bíl, aðeins úfaldann Hann kvaddi mig með tárvotum augum A lestarstoðinni daginn þann Er ástin brann svo heitt í mínum taugum Eg vissi ég sæi aldrei aftur hann Mig dreymir oft um drenginn minn fríða Og þá er lífið ljúft í nálægð hans Hann hefur stækkað, því árin þau líða Eg elska hann Hér uppá Íslandi græt ég í leynum Og leita'að merkjum sem minna á hann Eg sé hans andlit í stokkum og steinum Eg elska hann Það var vor og sól Fuglar sungu í kór að ég hitti hann Við fórum niðr'að níl Við þurftum engan bíl, aðeins úfaldann |
The
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 |

Ride
To Heaven 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... |

Fool
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 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 |

| Jólasveinar ( 1977 Radio show ) Jólasveinar ganga um gólf Með gildan staf í hendi Móðir þeirra sópar gólf Og flengir þá með vendi Upp á stól stendur mín kanna Níu nóttum fyrir jól Þá kem ég til manna Upp á stól stendur mín kanna Níu nóttum fyrir jól Þá kem ég til manna Transcribed by Melkorka Helgadóttir, Thanx to her *** Thanx a lot to Lina for this one *** |

| Jólakötturinn ( Icelandic christmas-compilation ) Þið kannizt við jólaköttinn - sá köttur var griðarstór Fólk vissi'ekki hvaðan hann kom Eða hvert hann fór Hann glennti upp glyrnurnar sinar Glóandi báðar tvær Það var ekki heiglum hent Að horfa í þær Kamparnir beittir sem broddar Upp úr bakinu kryppna há Og klærnar à loðinni löpp Var ljótt að sjá Því var það, að konurnar kepptust Við kamba og vefstól og rokk Og prjónuðu litfagran lepp Eða lítin sokk Þvi kötturinn mátti' ekki koma Og krækja í börnin smá Þau urðu að fásína flík Þeim fullorðnu hjá Og er kveikt var á jólakvöldið Og kötturin gægðist inn Stóðu börnin bísperrt og rjóð Með böggulinn sinn Hann veifaði stélinu sterka Hann stökk og hann klóraði' og blés Og var ýmist uppi í dal Eða úti' um nes Hann sveimaði, soltinn og grimmur I sárköldum jólasnæ Og vakti í hjörtunum hroll A hverjum bæ Ef mjálmað var aumlega úti Var ólukkan samstundis vís Allir vissu' að hann veiddi menn En vildi ekki mýs Hann lagðist á fátæka fólkið Sem fékk enga nýja spjör Fyrir jólin - og baslaði og bjó Við bágust kjör Frá því tók hann ætið í einu Allan þess jólamat Og át það svo oftast nær sjálft Ef hann gat Því var það, að konurnar kepptust Við kamba og vefstól og rokk Og prjónuðu litfagran lepp Eða lítin sokk Sum höfðe fengið svuntu Og sum höfðu fengið skó Eða eitthvað, sem þótti þarft En þad var nóg Þvi kisa máti' engan eta Sem einhverja flíkina hlaut Hún hvæsti þá heldur ljót Og hljóp á braut Hvort enn er hún til, veit ég ekki En aum yrði hennar för Ef allir eignuðust næst Einhverja spjör Þið hafið nú kannske í huga Að hjálpa, ef þörf verður á Máske enn finnist einhver börn Sem ekkert fá Máske, að leitin að þeim sem líða Af ljósskorti heims um ból Gefi ykkur góðan dag Og gleðileg jól *** Thanx a lot to Lina for this one *** |
The Christmas Cat ( Translation ) You know the christmas cat - that cat is very large We dont know where he came from Nor where he has gone He opened his eyes widely Glowing both of them It was not for cowards To look into them His hair sharp as needles His back was high and bulgy And claws on his hairy paw Were not a pretty sight Therefore the women competed To rock and sow and spin And knitted colorful clothes Or one little sock For the cat could not come And get the little children They had to get new clothes From the grownups When christmas eve was lighted And the cat looked inside The children stood straight and red-cheeked With their presents He waved his strong tail He jumped, scratched and blew And was either in the valley Or out on the headland He walked about, hungry and mean In hurtfully cold christmas snow And kindled the hearts with fear In every town If outside one heard a weak "meaow" Then unluck was sure to happen All knew he hunted men And didnt want mice He followed the poorer people Who didnt get any new clothing Near christmas - and tried and lived In poorest conditions From them he took at the same time All their christmas food And ate them also themselves If he could Therefore the women competed To rock and sow and spin And knitted colorful clothes Or one little sock Some had gotten an apron And some had got a new shoe Or anything that was needful But that was enough For pussy should not eat no-one Who got some new piece of clothes She hissed with her ugly voice And ran away If she still exists I dont know But for nothing would be his trip If everybody would get next christmas Some new rag You may want to keep it in mind To help if there is need For somewhere there might be children Who get nothing at all Mayhaps that looking for those who suffer From lack of plentiful lights Will give you a happy season And merry christmas *** Thanx a lot to Lina for this one *** |
Other side of the sun
( cover of a Janis Ian song, performed by Björk in the band Jam80, in 1980 )
Leaving on a boat for beyond the
other side of the ocean
Bet you in the morning you won't even know I'm gone
Tired of living here in the middle of mixed emotion
Might as well be living on the other side of the sun
Leaving with the feeling I don't know how I'm dealing with loving you
Though once I knew
The special way
And what to do
To make you stay
Forever and ever
Even as I'm leaving i'll never stop believing you are the one
Who can make me laugh
And can bring me back
From beyond the other side of the sun
Rolling down the river I hope I can deliver the morning
Wishing on a star for the sun to come out to play
Funny, when it's over you really don't remember the warning
Might as well be living out beyond the Milky Way

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 Lamplighter-Gvendur from long long ago

Lovecharm 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 |

Mamma - ertu vakandi mamma mín? |
The little
musician 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 Mama 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 |

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 |
| Bílavísur Ertu að koma? Já, elskan min góða Alveg hreint á minútunni Hæ - ertu á nyjum bil? Alveg ertu ágetur Agalega sætur Að etla bjóða mér Það er alveg hreint í stil En ef að það snjóar Þá erutil nóga Keðjur sem að koma okkur Ohult um alla leið Elskan hann Dóri Minn sterki og stóri Hann styrir svo vel Þótt gatan sé ekki breið Ooh! Ó - Þarna er hann! Já, og flott skal það vera Og Ford model nitjan hundrað Og-ég-veit-ekki-hvað Uppi hann stig ég A ástarvangjum flíg ég Og uppi Mosfellssveit Fer í ævintyraleit Með handþösku stora Eg hallast að Dóra Æ. Gormurinn i framsætinu Stakk mig á versta stað! En það er nú svona Að þreyja og vona En þetta lagast fljott Dóri minn sérrum thað Keðjan er slitinn Og skellur í bilnum Skríddu undur bilinn, Dóri Greyið mitt flyttu þér Ertu alveg óður? O jé minn góður! Þarna reifstu sokkinn minn Alfurinn minn ég fer Aldrei aftur út med þér Aleinum - ég sver i ég Hef aldrei á æfi minni Ekið um á slikum bil O núna springur Og í honum syngur Og a endanum stingst Hann í moldar-haug |

Hvernig get ég vitað, hvað skal segja Efi og vafi í sal mér byr Ekki get ég kastað krónu Um kærleikann því að þeir eru þrír Það er hart að þurfa að segja Vid þennan "já" eða "nei" Ef ég elska thá alla verð ég að endingu piparmey Veit ei hvad skal segja Eg held ég elski hann Geir Hann hvíslar stundum "Heyrðu..."

I
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

Í dansi með þér Sérðu rúmbudansinn duna nú, Dönsum því, ég og þú Svifum létt um gólfið til og frá Töfrabrá, logaþrá Er það draumur eda ert þú hér? Enn í kvöld, einn med mér Armar þínir vekja ástarbál Unadsmál, eld í sál Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís Þótt þá dyljist því minnist ég þin Og thín hand leidir hand mína heim Ut í hamingjugeim Við þinn fagra ljúfa augnaeld Undi ég þetta kveld Djúpa döggin mjúk að moldu skjótt Mild og hljóð kemur nótt |
To
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 Sanna for this translation *** |

The
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 |

Can't help
loving that man
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
I just can't help

river
Now you say you love me
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me
Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me
And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yeah, ooh-ooh-woo
You drove me, nearly drove me
Out of my head
When you never shed a tear

All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me

Misty
Look at me...
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
It could be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near
Can't you see that you're leading me on
And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
Thats why im following you
Hoh-wohow!
On my own...
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hand from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
Yeah, wooh!
Can't you see that you're leading me on
And it's just, just what I want you to do, oh!
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
huh, yeahoh!
On my own...
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my left foot from my right
My hand from my glove
I'm too misty, I'm too much in love
Wooh!
I'm too misty!
Too, I'm too much in love, hoh-hoh-hoh hoh-hoh!

You
don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
Until you learned the meaning of the blues
Until you loved the love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You dont know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of suffering
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You dont know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you reached each dawn with sleepless nights
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of suffering
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You don't know what love is
Until you learned the meaning of the blues
Until you loved the love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

Anyone who ever loved - could look at me and know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed - could look at me and know I dream of you
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart -would take me in his arms and love me too
You wouldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue - what am I to do?
Every time you go away - I always say this time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do - I take you back
Without you I'd die dear - knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart -would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue - what am I to do?
Knowing I love you, so - anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me -why won't you?, yeah
Would take me in his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart

(Written by Björk)
Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore
Let's, let's, let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious honey
Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Words are useless, especically sentences
They don't stand for anything
How could they explain how I feel
Traveling, traveling, I'm traveling
Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, traveling, I'm gonna relax
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
And inside we're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?
Let's get unconscious honey...
Traveling, traveling...
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again
Charlene
You've got yourself a-in a fine mess
now, 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
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 lake, 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
Desired constellation
It's tricky when you feel
That someone has done something
On your behalf
It's slippery when
Your sense of justice
Murmurs underneath
And it's asking
How am i going to make it right?
How am i going to make it right?
With a palmful of stars
I throw them like dice
Repeatedly
Repeatedly
On the table
I throw them on the table
Until the desired constellation appears
How am i going to make it right?
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're asking you
How am i going to make it right?
How am i going to make it right?
(icelandic / gibberish[?] Stuff )
Repeatedly
Repeatedly
You're asking yourself
Repeatedly

Oh boy
Where have i put my keys
I've looked in my pocket
Behind the newspaper
And underneath the remote control
And i cannot find where i put it again
Oh boy i cannot find my keys
I'm far too late
The door is open now
A taxi is waiting there
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
A phone keeps ringing
I am definitely not going to
Pick it up
'Cause
When I grow up
I'm gonna get those fancy key-rings
That you whistle at
And they whistle right back
At you
Ah ah ah ah ah
Bah pah bah pah...

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Gloomy
Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
The hours are slumberless
Dearest the 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 is 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 no 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 wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream hasn't haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
is absolutely Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
...Sunday
I go humble
You're so curiously pure
Only before you I'm humble
I go humble
You amaze me
Only before you I'm humble
I should be arrested
For my emotional stunts
Only before you I'm humble
I'm queen of provocation
I wake people up
Only before you I'm humble
I go humble
I adore you
Only before you I'm humble
I should be arrested
For my emotional stunts
Only before you I'm humble

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
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.
Oh, you.., Oh, you.., You..
(Live version)
I've seen it all, I have seen the willow trees
I've seen a land on the first day of peace
I have seen a friend killed by his best friend
And lives that were over before they were spent
I have seen what I was and I know
what I'll be
I've seen it all, there is no more to see
[Instrumental Interlude]
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
Oh no I am kidding
I really don't care
[Leave it up to me; gibberish ?]
You've never been to Niagara Falls
I have seen water, it's water, that's all
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State
My pulse was as high on my very first date
And your grandson's hands as he
plays with your hair
Oh no really, I don't care
[just another night and they go (?; gibberish) through the dark]
I have seen it all, I have seen
the dark
I have seen the brightness in one little spark
I have seen what I chose and I've seen what I need
And that is enough, to want more would be greed
I have 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 that
you've seen
is totally your view on your own little screen
the light and the dark, the big and the small
just keep in mind that you grow more than tall
You've seen what you were, I know
what you'll be
I've seen it all, you don't need to see

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 shnitzel 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

Dear gene,
Of course you are here
And now there's nothing to fear
Oooh, i should have known
Oooh, i was never alone
This isn't the last song
There's 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's no violin
The choir is quiet
And noone takes a spin
This is the next to last song
And that's all

Han flyver gennem himlen Og himlen hænger Som en krave Om hans hals Det er så sort og meget mørkt Imellem sol og måne Nu flyver Anton... Så pisser han på mørket Og mørkret Bliver til lys Nu flyver Anton... Så fik han sit første kys Sit første kys! Med tungen! Tungen ... gik som.. En pro-pel-ler, woah! Oooh, nu flyver Anton... |
Now Flies Anton Now flies Anton All by himself What do you think Anton? Will the dreams become reality? He flies through the heaven And the heaven hangs Like a collar Around his neck It is so black and very dark Between the sun and moon Now flies Anton... So he pisses on the darkness And the darkness Turns to light Now flies Anton... So he got his first kiss His first kiss! With the tongue! The tongue...went like... A pro-pel-ler, woah! Oooh, now flies Anton.. |

I do.... don't
And tomorrow passed them by X4

Short
term affair
( Duo : Björk/Tony Ferrino / Live BBC's Comic relief )
Tony Ferrino :
It's a short time affair
You're my children's au-pair
But I just couldn't bear
Tony Ferrino & Björk :
To keep my hands off you
Björk :
I was barely eighteen
What you did was obscene
But to me it felt clean
Tony Ferrino & Björk :
What else was I to do?
Tony Ferrino :
The memory still lingers
You're cooking the kids fish-fingers
And ironing
Björk :
Each morning you'd come down
In your paisley dressing gown
Then you sing
And the yearning started for a short-time affair
Tony Ferrino :
No intention to stray
Björk :
I was caught in your snare
Tony Ferrino :
But my wife was awake
Björk :
It was so debonaire
Tony Ferrino :
So I thought what the heck
Tony Ferrino & Björk :
I knew I couldn't resist
Tony Ferrino :
It was a short time affait
Björk :
You're the man you're the boss
Tony Ferrino :
When I find you right there
Björk :
Like the father I lost
Tony Ferrino :
Clean our silver-ware
Björk :
So to hell with the cost
Tony Ferrino & Björk :
Right then at once we kissed
Björk :
You took me to the kitchen, you're hands kinda started twitchin', felt so
shy
Tony Ferrino :
Nothing could stop what followed, lucky for me you swallowed
Björk :
I know it's all over now
Tony Ferrino :
Try to be strong somehow
Björk :
I start a brand new life
Tony Ferrino :
Please, please don't tell my wife
Björk :
I won't stop loving you
Tony Ferrino :
Please, please don't tell my wife
Björk :
Au revoir, ciao, auf wiedersehen
Tony Ferrino :
We must never meet again
Björk :
Short time affair, heeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooooooo
Tony Ferrino :
Short time affair , eeeeee oooooooooooo

So
broken
Björk
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,
heðan-biður-afte-care,
So broken,
heðan-biður-afte-care,
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm,
heðan-biður,
** Gibberish **
Wooh-ahhh-hmm...
I'm trying to land,
This aeroplane of ours gracefully,
But it seems just destined to crash,
I'm so broken,
heðan-biður-afte-care,
My heart is so broken,
heðan-biður-afte-care,
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm,
** Gibberish **
How can, how can,
And I sense (?)
All continuity
Has vanished away
At one step at a time now baby
I'm so broken
heðan-liður-afte-care
I'm-m-m-mmm...so broken
heðan-biður-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm
** Gibberish **
I'm so...
Completely unhealable, baby
Ohhh!!
Ohh-er-him
I'm so broken
Ahh-eða-miður-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm
En-lickel-afte-sjólvar
En-neon-co-cole-ah-ahh
Neo-sasar-ohh

Sod off
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
Won't let you corrupt it
Sod off!
I won't let you ruin this
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.

Softly
( Live by Björk and Toumani Diabaté at Expo Zaragoza 2008 )
Softly
Fulfilling every duty
Softly
Nurturing every detail
And if one attends the most
One will eventually
Elevate above all struggles
Above daily nuisance
With the sensational nuance
When
All
Things
Are
Good
If one steadfastly attends
And respects all community
Consistantly care
And insists on warmth at all times
One will eventually
Elevate above all struggles
Above daily nuisance
With the sensational nuance
With
All
Things
Good

Close your eyes
Listen closely
All that you've learnt
Try to forget it
Fuck logic, fuck logic
Bravo to instinct
And sweet intuition
** Gibberish **
What makes you tick
Trust your senses
All that you've learnt
Try to forget it
Believe in believing
Believe in instinct
And sweet intuition, honey
** Gibberish **
And inside
We're all still wet
Longing and yearning
Repeat after me
Fuck logic, fuck logic
Bravo to instinct
And sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition, honey
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition, honey

Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition

The Boho Dance
( A Tribute to Joni Mitchell )
Down in the cellar in the Boho zone
I went looking for some sweet inspiration, oh well
Just another hard-time band
With Negro affectations
I was a hopeful in rooms like this
When I was working cheap
It's an old romance, a Boho dance
It hasn't gone to sleep
Even on the scuffle
The cleaner's crease was in my jeans
And any eye for detail
Caught a little lace along the seams
And you were in the parking lot
Subterranean by your own design
The virtue of your style inscribed
On your contempt for mine
Jesus was a beggar, he was rich in grace
And Solomon kept his head in all his glory
It's just that some steps outside the Boho dance
They have a fascination for me
A camera pans the cocktail hour
Behind a blind of potted palms
And finds a lady in a Paris dress
With runs in her nylons
You read those books where luxury
Comes as a guest to take a slave
Books where artists in noble poverty
Go like virgins to the grave
Don't you get sensitive on me
'Cause I know you're just too proud
You couldn't step outside the Boho dance
Even if good fortune allowed
Like a priest with a pornographic watch
Looking and longing on the sly
Sure it's stricken from your uniform
But you can't get it out of your eyes
Nothing is capsulized in me
On either side of town
The streets were never really mine
Not mine these glamour gowns
( Biophilia Japanese Edition )
With our fingers we make million
holes
We run and we fall into pot holes
On a mission to savor the world, oh
We peek at the sky through tree holes
Comet, oh damn it
The comet comes hurtling down
On a precious plot of earth
Like the bugs in mother’s flower bed
We walk on long legs over the sea bed
On our mission to save the world, oh
We need milk and cakes and a warm bed
Comet, oh damn it
The comet comes hurtling down
On a precious plot of earth
Grey leaves are too much
For any mother to handle
A father must pull
his black hat down over the eyes

Quando você foi embora |
Crossing When you were gone There was nigth in my life I'm strong but there's no way Today I have to cry My house is not mine And even mine is this place I'm alone and don't resist Much I have to tell (I let go my voice on the roads Now I don't want to stop (My route is made of stone How can I dream Dream made of breeze Wind come finish I'll close my weeping I'll want to kill myself I'll following

Verandi
Hafandi eyrað í vasanum Hafandi augun í skónum Ástarbréf í maganum Vönd af kossum í munninum Kyrr!
Hafandi haf af girnd
Hafandi loðna löngun um mjaðmirnar Hafandi sjón sem að sér þegar það er slökkt Og gott bil milli fótanna Kyrr! |

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?
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?
I want to be elastic
I want to go out of my way for you
I want to help you
Where is the line with you?
*** Thanx a lot to Benjamin for this one ***
( Elvis Costello / Live Union Chapel 99 )
The hunted look, the haunted grace
The empty laugh that you cultivate
You fall into that false embrace
And kiss the air about her face
Who do you think you are?
The tres bon mots you almost quote from your
Quiver of literary darts
A thousand or so tuneless violins
Thrilling your cheap little heart
Who do you think you are?
My cigarette burns right down to the ash
My coffee cup is unstained
The waiter hovers close at hand
His courtesy strained
Who do you think you are?
I close with my regards
Well I'm the red-face gentleman
Caught in this picture postcard
Who do you think you are?
Trying my best to make the best of your absence
Though the joke gets tired and sordid
Sea-shell hearts get trampled under foot
Punchlines unrewarded
But even at this distance
It's not easy to accept
The vision that I chase returns
When I least expect it
I've fallen from your tired embrace
I kiss the air
Around the place
That should be
Your face
( Elvis Costello - live with The Brodski Quartet
)
Why is Daddy not here?
Are you crying?
Why?
Does he still love me?
Will you take care of me?
If you both love me so
Why don't you love each other
Mummy's gone missing
And Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire

Tricky and Bjork:
Don't hold me
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
Just do it
(A 'tastic')
Yoga-all,I leave it after you
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll find how to get after you
(And I will do for you)
I don't chance it
(And I will do for you)
All the pieces
I don't-yoga
All the people in colleauge with me
Don't hold me now
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
I can want it
(A tastic')
I'll slide around in seconds
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll slide around and solve me
(And I will do for you)
I don't chance it
(And I will do for you)
I don't need the love to dance it
I don't chance it
I don't chance,at least the love's here
Just do it
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
Don't hold me now
(A tastic')
I'm jumpy
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll stay and leave there
(And I will do for you)
May though you come and leave there
(And I will do for you)
I don't share it
Yoga after I go
and leave the lair
I'll send light-this sad soul laments
It can tell that I love,so I waste
*** Thanx a lot to Elliot for this one ***
You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is its 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
Make 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, you only live twice
( Bless LP - 1990 / Backing vocals )
I meet you, and you tell me
What you dreamt - last night
I think its great - it's the same dream I dreamt
We fall flat - the same dream
Worlds collapse
Worlds collapse
Your wall falls on my wall
I think i'll go away
I think i'll go outside
I think of buying hope
Meet girl - dreamt a dream too
He dreamt another dream
He wont tell us her dream
But when I offer him my coat
He opens up a smile
He dreamt a house
In the house, a mere wall
In the middle of the rift there's:
World's collapse
World's collapse
Your wall falls on my wall
I think I go away
I think i'll form a bomb out of snow
I think i'll throw it at girl
I think i'll throw it at you
I think i'll throw it at girl
I think i'll throw it at you
( Bless LP - 1990 / Backing vocals )
There's a useless moon up there in
the sky
It has neither tail nor start
I hang around the café disappointment
And you in the yonder
I know what a call grapes out from the tar
And think filt of names and air
I sip coffe ground on café supernova
Get you in the yonder
When I nap
When I nap
Please stay away from my dreams
Please stay in the yonder - until I wake up
Inside you does a heart die, Jane
Pumps constantly pain and sorrow
I leave big tips at some sort of café
And you in the yonder
When I nap
When I nap
Please stay away from my dreams
Please stay in the yonder - until I wake up
