GOLD

Björk
Gold - finger itches
Gold - in the hand
Gold - you have to have
Gold - all for yourself

Gold - full train of it
Gold - rob the train
Gold - murder in the train
Gold - get some gold

Gold - is the sweat - of the sun - give me some - GOLD!

Gold - it glitters
Gold - is soft and thin

Einar
I'm searching for gold
I need gold just to see
never seen it before
indication of gold

Do I see gold?
bloody fingers!
dig! crawl! dig!

Björk
Gold - is the sweat - of the sun - give me some - GOLD!

Einar
I continue to dig into the earth
torn fingers
bloody fingers

Björk
There is a sun in the sky
nothing has changed
gold - begotten of the sun
give me gold!
oh gold!

Einar
I'm still searching for gold
I need gold

Björk
I just have to have a chunk of - gold
just a little piece of gold for me - oh, gold!

Einar
No indication of gold
In the core of the earth
I see the glow - isn't it gold?
I need gold!

Björk
Oh - GOLD!

HIT

Björk
This wasn't supposed to happen
I was happy by myself
accidentally you seduced me
I'm in love again

I lie in my bed
totally still
my eyes wide open
I'm in rapture
I don't believe this
I'm in love again!

This wasn't supposed to happen
I've been hit with your charm
how could you do this to me?
I'm in love again

I lie in my bed
totally still
my eyes wide open
I'm in rapture
I don't believe this
I'm in love again!

This wasn't supposed to happen!
This wasn't supposed to happen!

Ég og hann - ég og hann við segjum
Ég og hann - ég og hann við finnum til

Einar
A small story
which never happened
I said ouch!
this really hurts
that can't be, this has been
practised for millions of years
therefore we are
yes, but I - I'm a boy

A small story
which always happens
I said ouch!
this really hurts
this can well be
but this has
been
practised for millions of years
therefore we are
yes, but - you're a girl

Björk
I lie in my bed
totally still
my eyes wide open
I'm in rapture
I don't believe this
I'm in love again!

This wasn't supposed to happen!

I lie in my bed
totally still
my eyes wide open
I'm in rapture
you put a seed inside me
and while you're away
it's growing silently
starts in my stomach
embraces my insides
and about to reach my heart

This wasn't supposed to happen!
This wasn't supposed to happen!

Ég og hann - ég og hann við segjum
Ég og hann - ég og hann við finnum til

Einar
Ouch!
this really hurts!

LEASH CALLED LOVE

Björk
You love him - you want to make him happy
he loves you - he wants to humiliate you

He's a bastard - you should leave him
paranoid manipulator - to hell with him

He's dragging you
along
on a leash called love

He controls you - you should do him in
before he gets to you - watch out, girl

He's dragging you
along
on a leash called love

Einar
You have torn me - inside out
nothing but a nervous wreck.
you have got me on a leash
you whip me with a leash called love

I've lost all sense of direction
you make me addicted to your friends nasty remarks
and I don't know how I survive

I can no longer distinguish from
right or wrong -sane / insane

Leash called love
Leash called love

Whip me back
back and forth
paranoid

Leash called love

LUCKY NIGHT

Björk
I've tried a lot and most things excite me
but what tops it all is doing two things at a time

Einar
Life and death
glass and water
rock and roll
wash and dirty
Christ and Jesus
time and hour

Björk
To drive a car and listen to music
to read a book and ride a train

Einar
Watch and maker
god and dog
hammer and saw
babies and nappies
stop and hold
moon and stars

Björk
To be in
charming combinations
turns me on
I'm into

Trying a lot and most things excite me
but what tops it all is doing two things at a time

Einar
Knife and fork
tar and feathers
window and pane
country and western
rhythm and blues
yawn and sigh

Björk
This is a
lucky
night for me

A night when
one plus
one is three

To read a letter and fall in love
to not sleep and be not unhappy
to watch tv and cuddle
crême de la crême is doing two things at a time

Einar
To do two things
twice at once
it's so nice
is there a point?

To be or not to, baby
the time and logic, is finally
two must enter, my two nostrils
can I be, or am I just thinking?

Life and death...

HAPPY NURSE

Björk
After watching this latent lady
I noticed that she was a poor nurse
she knows exactly what people need
without them having to tell her

She's a poor nurse
she knows what you
hunger for
and feeds it to you

Einar
The nurse was also my friend
she gave me friendship in abundance
smothered me with hugs and kisses
I got used to her injections

And they'd often seen me stupid
it had become a habit
she gave me friendship in abundance
smothered me with hugs and kisses

Björk
She invites me to a soft room
and hands me a piece of confidence
she injects me with a dose of warmth
it dawns upon me that humans are the only drug

She's a poor nurse
she knows what you
hunger for
and feeds it to you

Einar
But then I bought myself a
small rubber dingy when she told me
the route was up the mountain
because she wanted everyone
to share her love and affection
her bosom was great and soft
incredibly great, great and soft
and could squirt a long way

A great distance

Björk
She's a poor nurse
this generous woman
don't hate her
she's a poor nurse

She knows what you
hunger for
and feeds it
to you

She's a poor nurse
this generous woman
don't hate her
she's a poor nurse

I'M HUNGRY

Björk
I wake up and know that this is the day I'm leaving
I'm going alone with no map - I need room, I need space
have to try something that hasn't been done before
I want to go to places where I don't know what its like

Listen, I'm hungry
thirsty for surprises
ready for experience
have to get what I need right now

I'm by the road hitchhiking and a car has stopped
as I climb in to it, I'm struck with hot joy
have to try something that hasn't been done before
I want to go to places where I don't know what its like

Listen, I'm hungry
thirsty for surprises
ready for experience
have to get what I need right now

Einar
Am I on my way out?
lying in the grass
and allow myself to dream
am I going further?
I want to go on, am I dreaming?
have I gone crazy in my sleep?
shake my head. can someone find
find me Einar's screw
can someone find Einar's screw
I am - I'm hungry
I hunger for a bit of sanity
am I on my way
on my way out

WALKABOUT

Björk
I admire the curves
the golden landscape
I wanna be there
right with you
that's where I'm staying
where no-one can find me
in the depths of the valleys
magnificent landscape

Delicious boy
animal eyes
beautiful buttocks
haunting movements
but the thing that makes me love you
is the unforgettable smell of your skin

There's a hole and there's a stick (between the hills)
there's a cove and there's a ship
that goes in and out of the harbour

The heavy pear
totally ripe
adorable fruits
so generous
this is where I'm staying
where no-one can find me
in the depths of the valleys
magnificent landscape

Delicious boy
animal eyes
beautiful buttocks
haunting movements
but the thing that makes me love you
is the unforgettable smell of your skin

Björk
There's a hole and there's a stick (between the hills)
there's a tunnel and there's a train (admire the view)
There's a cove and there's a ship
That goes in and out of the harbour

Mountains of nutrition
two, side by side
above a navel
and under a chin
it's where I'm staying
where no-one can find me.
in the depths of the valleys
magnificent landscape

Einar
Is everything a landscape?
I am the landscape
crawl into the canyon
into the rain forest
crawl up the crevasse
jog along the tundra
walk up the slope
have a breather between the hills
admire the view
not yet on the peak
walk further and rest
between two tranquil pools
then climb the peak
and admire
I'm captivated

HETERO SCUM

Björk
My blood flows in me
my red juice in my veins
my blood travels fast
my blood rushes through me

When I meet you
my blood goes faster
my veins turn into molten mud

I was made long ago
my blood makes me remember
I was made out of mud
my red juice makes me remember

When I meet you
my blood goes faster
my veins turn into molten mud

Einar
Half of me
I'm punctured, I'm leaking
the air is out
blasted into space
like burst balloons
I'm punctured, I'm leaking
half of me
there's a hole on you too
into you
half of me
it's the beginning half of me

Björk
When I need you
my blood goes faster
my veins turn into molten mud

Einar
Half of me, half of me, half of me
I'm a jellyfish
burst balloon
half of me, half of me

Into space, into space
burst balloon!
half of me
no jellyfish, no jellyfish

VITAMIN

Björk
You convince me
that I am able
you make me strong
you're my vitamin

Wooooo! Wooooo!
Wooooo! Wooooo!

Einar
My pain is my pain
your cure is vitamins

Björk
You're my sinking capsule
you're my vitamin

Wooooo! Wooooo!
Wooooo! Wooooo!

Einar
I look at this pain of mine
I don't know what it is
you say I can have it easily
fixed with some vitamins

Björk
B for the hair
E for the skin
You for myself
You're my vitamin

Wooooo! Wooooo!
Wooooo! Wooooo!

Einar
My pain is my pain
your cure is vitamins
if I try some of your pills
won't I have another pain?

You show me off in all these parties, so very proud of me
telling everybody that I, I am your little vitamin
you exhibit me constantly, like I was some gift
I am not your cure - to you I'm just another vitamin

Björk
Wooooo! Wooooo!
Wooooo! Wooooo!

Einar
I'm so confused - my pain is mine!
I don't know what it is, you say I can have it easily fixed
with some vitamins - my pain is my pain, your cure is vitamins
In all these fancy parties, I won't have another pain as a payment?
you want all of me 'cause I am your final cure

You show - show me off
