My sincere thanks to:

 Scott Carpenter -- who has helped me a lot with just about every single
                    song on the album, particularly on Vitamin (all of
                    Einar's lyrics) and Chihuahua (all the lyrics!) :)

 Zoe Frost -- who also helped me with quite a few of the lyrics

 Stephen Anderson -- for providing the Walkabout lyrics

 John -- (I don't know your last name is) for the original attempt at the
         SAFJ lyrics, on which this file is to some extent based.

There are still at least a few mistakes and unknowns left in here, but you
should find it a lot better than the old file(s)! Please contact me if you
find any mistakes I've made or can fill in any of my blank areas.


       Dedicated, of course, to Bjork, the woman dreams are made of.

                                                    Adam Dawes, 26 Apr 94.




@SONG: Gold

Gold, finger itches
Gold, in the hair
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.
It glitters,
Gold, soft and clear(?)

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!

Gold is the sweat of the sun
Give me some
Gold!

I continue to dig into the earth.
Torn fingers, bloody fingers..

There is a sun in the sky
Nothing has changed
And gold, garden of the sun..
Give me gold!

E> I'm still searching for gold
E> I need gold

And I have to have a chunk of.. gold

E> no indication of gold

Just a little piece of gold for me!

E> In the core of the earth
E> I see the glow, let it be gold

Gold

E> I need gold!



@SONG: Hit

This wasn't supposed to happen,
I was happy by myself.
Accidently, 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!

E> A small story which never happened
E> I said ouch! This really hurts...
E> That can't be this has been
E> Practised for millions of years
E> Therefore we are
E> Yes, but I, I'm a boy.
E> A small story which always happens
E> I said ouch! This really hurts...
E> This could well be
E> But this has
E> Been practised for millions of years,
E> Therefore we are
E> Yes, but, you're a girl!

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.
 (rapture)
You've put a seed inside me,
 (oh)
And while you're away,
 (see...)
It's growing silently,
 (to be a life)
Starts in my stomach.
Embraces my insides,
 (in time..)
And about to reach my heart.

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

E> This really hurts!


@SONG: Leash Called Love

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.

E> You have torn me
E> Inside out.
E> Nothing but
E> A nervous wreck.
E> You have got me
E> On a leash,
E> You whip me with
E> A leash called love..
E> I've lost all sense of direction!
E> You make me a victim
E> To your friends' nasty remarks
E> And I don't know how
E> I survive!

E> I can no longer
E> Distinguish from
E> Right or wrong,
E> Sane insane..

E> Whip me back,
E> Back and forth.
E> Paranoid.
E> Leash called love..


@SONG: Lucky Night

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

E> Life and death
E> Glass and water
E> Rock and roll
E> Wash and dirty
E> Christ and Jesus
E> Time and hours

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

E> Watch and maker
E> God and dog
E> Hammer and Saw
E> Babies and Nappies
E> Stop and Hold
E> Moon and Stars

To be a charming combination,
Tense me up.
I'm into trying a lot and most things excite me.
But what tops it all is doing two things at a time.

E> Knife and fork
E> Pad and felt
E> Window and Pane
E> Country and western
E> Rhythm and Blues
E> Yawn and Sigh

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
Crem de la crem
Is doing two things at a time

E>to do two things twice at once
E>its so nice
E>is there a point?


@SONG: Happy Nurse

After watching this patient 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

E> ?
E> ?
E> Smothered me with hugs and kisses
E> I've got used to her injection
E> And they often send me stupid
E> It could become a habit
E> ?
E> Smothered me with hugs and kisses

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

E> But then I bought myself a
E> Small rubber dingy when she told me
E> He who was [..]
E> Because she wanted everyone
E> To give her
E> Love and affection
E> Her breast was
E> Great and soft
E> Incredibly great,
E> Great and soft
E> And could squirt
E> A long way.
E> A great distance...

She's a poor nurse
This careless 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 careless woman
Don't hate her
She's a poor nurse


@SONG: I'm Hungry

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 hunger

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
Listen, I'm hungry
Ready for surprises
Thirsty for experience
Have to get what I need right now

E> Am I on my way out?
E> Lying in the grass, and allow myself to dream
E> Am I going further?
E> I want to go on, am I dreaming?
E> Have I gone crazy myself
E> Shake my head can someone find me

Listen, I'm hungry
Listen, I'm hungry


@SONG: Walkabout

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,
With 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.
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,
With 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.
There's a tunnel and there's a train.
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,
That's where I'm staying,
Where no-one can find me.
In the depths of the valleys,
Magnificent landscape.

E> Is everything a landscape?
E> I'm in the landscape
E> Crawl into the canyon
E> Into the rain forest
E> Crawl up the cravasse
E> Jog along the tundra
E> Walk up the slope
E> Have a breather between the hills
E> Admire the view
E> Not yet on the peak
E> Walk further and rest
E> Between two tranquil pools
E> Then climb the peak
E> And admire
E> I'm captivated.


@SONG: Hetero Scum

My blood flows in me
My red juice in my veins
My blood travels fast
My blood rushes through me
When I need you
My blood flows 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 need you
My blood goes faster
My veins turn into molten mud

E> Half of me
E> I'm peppered
E> I'm leaking
E> The air is out
E> Blasted into space like
E> Burst balloons
E> I'm petrid
E> I'm leaking
E> Half of me
E> There's a hole on you too
E> Into you
E> Half of me
E> It's the beginning half of me

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

E> Half of me, half of me
E> Half of me,
E> I'm a jellyfish
E> Half of me, half of me
E> Into space, into space
E> Half of me,
E> A jellyfish, a jellyfish


@SONG: Vitamin

You convinced me
That I am able
You make me strong
You're my vitamin

E> My pain is my pain
E> Your cure is vitamins

You're my sinking capsule
You're my vitamin...

E> I look at this pain of mine
E> I don't know what it is
E> You say I could have it easily
E> Fixed with some vitamins 

Before the hair,
Before the skin,
You form a cell
You're my vitamin

E> My pain is my pain
E> Your cure is vitamins
E> If I try some of your pills,
E> Won't I have another pain?

E> You show me off in all these parties
E> So very proud of me
E> Telling everybody that I,
E> I am your little vitamin
E> You exit with me (??)
E> Like I was somebody
E> I am not your cure
E> To you I'm just another vitamin

E> I'm so confused
E> My pain is my pain
E> I don't know what it is 
E> You say I can have it easily fixed with
E> With some vitamins 
E> My pain is my pain,
E> Your cure is vitamins
E> In all these fancy parties
E> I won't have another pain 
E> As a payment?
E> You want all of me 
E> 'Cause I am your final cure

E> You show - show me off!


@SONG: Chihuahua

E> It were aliens who started this green popularity
E> Sure were aliens

E> They are green
E> Want everything
E> Green and brown
E> No mistake
E> New demand
E> Will be made
E> All must be green
E> Everything

E> When they land 
E> The aliens would be made the laughing stock of Planet Earth
E> They are green
E> They intend
E> To occupy
E> Planet Earth
E> They have green
E> Want everything
E> Green and brown
E> ...

  (Bjork says this song is "Einar's little theory" that aliens
  are behind the green movement (environmentalism).  Their purported 
  intention is to make everybody wear green so that when they come
  they will blend in...  Pretty scary, huh?  -- Scott)
