Bjork - Debut Lyrics






Human Behaviour

If you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused

there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible

there is no map
to human behaviour

they're terribly moody
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying

there's no map and
a compass
wouldn't help at all

human behaviour

Crying

I travel
All around the city
Go in and out of
Locomotives
All alone

There's no-one here
And people everywhere
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

Venus As A Boy

His wicked sense of humour
Suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her
Touches, he's Venus as a boy

He believes in beauty
He's Venus as a boy

He's exploring
The taste of her
Arousal
So accurate
He sets off
The beauty in her
He's Venus as a boy

He believes in beauty

He's Venus as a boy

Theres More To Life Than This

[Recorded Live At The Milk Bar Toilets]

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

There's more to life than this

We could nick a boat
And sneak off to this island
I could bring my little ghettoblaster
There's more to life than this

But then we'd have to rush back
To the town's best baker
To get the first bread of the morning
There's more to life than this

Like Someone In Love

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

Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me.

Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love

Like someone in love, Like someone in love

Big Time Sensuality

I can sense it
Something important,
Is about to happen
It's coming up

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

One Day

One day, it will happen
One day, one day
It will all come true.

One day, when you're ready
One day, one day
When you're up to it.

The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it, 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

Aeroplane

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 alone
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart.

How come
Out of all the people in the world
Only one
Can make me complete

One word, one word on the phone
Makes me happy
One touch, but one touch directly
Makes me ecstatic
He's away
This ain't right
I'm alone
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

You know
That I adore you
You know
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm

Jump off
Your building's on fire
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 protect you

You know
That I adore you
You know
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm

Violently Happy

Since I met you
This small town hasn't got room
For my big feelings,

Violently happy
'Cause I love you,
Violently happy
But you're not here

Violently happy
Come calm me down
Before I get into trouble

I tip-toe down to the shore,
Stand by the ocean-
Make it roar at me
And I roar back,

Violently happy
'Cause I love you,
Violently happy
But you're not here

Violently happy
Overemotional
Violently happy
I'll get into trouble
Real soon
If you don't get here
Baby!

Violently happy
'Cause I love you
Violently happy
I'm aiming too high
Violently happy
It will get me into trouble
Violently happy
I'm driving my car
Too fast
With ecstatic music on

Violently happy
I'm getting too drunk
Violently happy
I'm daring people
To jump off roofs with me

Only you
Can clam me down
I'm aiming too high

Soothe me...

The Anchor Song

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