The Sugarcubes Album

She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers and her mouth
She's five years old

Threads worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pocket
Collects fly wings in a jar
Scrubs horse flies
And pinches them on a line
Ohhh...

She has one friend, he lives next door
They're listening to the weather
He knows how many freckles she's got
She scratches his beard

She's painting huge books
And glues them together
They saw a big raven
It glided down the sky
She touched it
Ohhh...

Today is a birthday
They're smoking cigars
He's got a chain of flowers
And sews a bird in her knickers
Ohhh...

They're smoking cigars
They lie in the bathtub
A chain of... flowers

Tam, tam, tam-a-tam-a-tam...

Björk
I close the door,
Shouldn't burn yet,
The wires get hotter
Palms are glowing.

Björk
This is hot meat metallic blood,
This is hot meat, this is open sweat.

Björk
Show you with my fingers,
Draw with the eye,
With your own breath,
I tear your lungs

Björk
Here is hot meat, this is metallic blood,
This is hot meat, this is open sweat.

Einar
Out this side of the blackest meadows
I make my winter dwelling and crush my bones.

Björk
This is hot meat, this is metallic blood,
This is hot meat,

Björk
I'll sail out the window
I'll walk down the henge
I will not finish
Till I'm fully satisfied.

Björk
This is hot meat, this is metallic blood,
This is hot meat, this is open sweat.

I saw a woman walking down my street,
Walking with grace, so beautifully carefully,
She's a big and pretty mother, big and pretty mother,
Swinging her handbag back and forth so joyfully.
She's drawing circles with her breasts in her jumper.

Give me a big mother, huge and loving one,
I can crawl upon and cling to ...

She's a large woman, warm and cuddly
Wet lady, strong mother.
She's walking down the street in front of my window
Whistling funky tunes in the ears of my neighbours.

Give me a big mother, one that would always want me,
Hot embracing mother, I can crawl upon and cling to ...

You can't be safer can't be more secure
Than with a breast in each palm,
With a breast in each palm,
That's the way I was born
And that's the way I want to die.

Give me a big mother, soft and wet one,
That would caress me
In all those special places.
Where's a strong mother,
One that squeezes me,
One I can crawl.

Björk
Riding on my bicycle,
I saw a motorcrash,
A proper motorcrash,
And lots of spectators,
I rushed to the centre
Saw the injured parents,
Cuts on the children,
An awful motorcrash.

Dangerous motorcrash,
Terribly bloody motorcrash,
Destructive motorcrash.
Oh oh oh.

Took the mother,
Sneaked with her secretly
All the way to my home,
And nursed her gently
Put on her bandages,gave her
Milk and biscuits,
She sighed pleasantly after this
Awful motorcrash.

It's a dangerous dangerous motorcrash,
Terribly bloody motorcrash,
Destructive motorcrash.
Oh oh oh.

Einar
That girl on that bicycle showed great interest in all the motorcrashes
in the neighbourhood, she looked quite innocent.

Björk
Then we disguised ourselves,
Took a taxi to her home,
When her husband opened the door
She introduced herself, he said
"Where have you been all this time?"

Einar
But believe you me
I know what innocence looks like
And it wasn't there,
After she got that bicycle.

Björk
Deus does not exist.
But if he does, he lives in the sky above me,
In the fattest largest cloud up there.
He's whiter than white and cleaner then clean.
He wants to reach me.

Deus does not exist.
But if he does I always notice him.
Getting ready in his airy room.
He's picking his gloves so gently off.
He wants to touch me.

I'm walking humbly down a tiny street
Pulling my collar it gets bigger, whoooh

Einar
I once met him,
It really surprised me,
He put me in a bath tub,
Made me squeaky clean,
Really clean.

Björk
To create a universe
You must taste
The forbidden fruit.

Einar
He said hi. I said hi,
I was still clean.

Björk
Deus does not exist,
But if he does he'd want to get down from that cloud,
First marzipan fingers then marble hands,
More silent than silence and slower than slow,
Diving towards me.

My collar is huge room for two hands,
They start at the chest and move slowly down.

Einar
I thought I had seen everything,
He wasn't white and fluffy,
He just had side burns,
He just had side burns,
And a quiff,
He said hi.
I said hi. I was still clean,
I was squeaky clean.
I was surprised.
Just as you would be.

Einar and Björk
Deus, Deus, Deus, Deus
Björk
He does not exist

Einar and Björk
Deus, Deus
Björk
He does not exist
( Repeat till the end )

Einar
Came from the east,
Relative forgot,
To scrape away,
Land in south,
Exhausted engine,
No teeth,
No chance to stop,
Meet Johnny.

Björk
Came from the east,
Like the sun,
But with tired engine,
Regina otherwise magnificent,
Regina in good bloom,

Oh oh as old as the sun,
Oh oh with white teeth,
Oh oh Regina, oh oh Regina,
Oh oh Regina, oh oh Regina.

Einar
Land on islands,
Meet Johnny,
Examine my red,
Basalt cluster,
Bottomless dust, terrific sun,
And wetting quite nicely thank you,
I do say nicely,
I do mean that,
Actually.

Björk
Blow into the chastity belt
Regina, Regina,
Oh oh Regina, oh oh Regina,

Einar
Hex and bitch and,
Deserves lobster and fame,
Oh, Johnny,
Teeth and gums,
In my life,
Moon and sun,
In my life,
Lobster and shrimp,
In my life,
I don't really like lobster (like lobster)

Björk
Regina is too old
But the sun is much older
Still the sun with white teeth
But Mrs R. with none
Sun with false teeth
Give me lobster and fame.

Einar
I really don't like lobster!

Björk
Oh oh Regina, oh oh Regina. X8

Björk
Eat me
Eat me love
Leave nothing behind
Swallow me, all of me
Drink me love
Pour me in you
Devour me
Drink me in large gulps

Einar
I hate you! I really do, I think I do,
I really, I really hate you!

Björk
I need you closer
I want him now
I want him in me
Eat me love!

Einar
Never say love to anyone!

Björk
Consume me love
I want you
To inhale me all of me
Drown me love
In a bottomless pond
I'll never return
Swallow me, all of me

Einar
I don't love you! I really hate you!

Björk
I want you closer
I want him now
I want him in me
Eat me love!!!
Swallow me, all of me X3

Einar
I hate you!

Björk
He's coming closer
He's coming now
He's gonna touch me
Eat me love!!!

Einar
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate you!

Björk
Eat me love, your open mouth
Eat me love, I, on your tongue
You got to eat me love
Eat me love, you gulp me
Eat me love, I, I down your gullet
You eat me love
Eat me love- I in the stomach
Eat me love, eat me love
You splash acid on me
Eat me love, I travel down the intestines
Eat me love, through the bowels and out!

He's coming closer
He wants me now
I want to eat him
Eat me love! X3
You got to eat me love!!!

Einar
I hate you

Björk
The universe it is so big,
I feel dizzy when I think about it,
My head swims I get giddy,
Still I realize that long ago,
It was so small I could have kept it,
Underneath my little skirt,
At least until the big bang happened,

Einar
Every man, every woman.

Björk
Sun planet the universe and me,
When I'm excited and have to wait,
My organs start to move, my lungs pump,
Cells flow faster on tracks inside me,
I demand to see myself from within,
Be a cell for a day.

Einar
Every man, every woman

Björk
Sun, planet, the universe and me
The universe and me...ooh...
The universe and me, am I a planet? woaah!
The universe and me... woah!!
Co-o-ome, na-na-na-hee-ooh!

The planets and me we get along so well together
Gliding down imaginary rollercoaster-paths along the sky
I can do somersaults around Jupiter if I feel like it
Nothing can stop a planet
But a planet can stop anything at all

Einar
Every man, every woman

Björk
Sun planet the universe and me
The universe and me, the universe and me,
The universe and me, the universe and me.

Björk
Wait for me underneath the water,
Wait for me I have to go now
Into the big city,
She pulls me firmly towards her.

Wait for me underneath the water,
Wait for me here,
You'll be fine underneath the water,
I'll be back early next summer.

Einar
We met again at the lake,
After all these years,
You said "want a drink?"

Björk
I love you,
And you know I will be back,
Hold your breath,
And nestle into the ice,
Wait for me underneath the water
Wait for me and count to ten,
You'll look up and I will be there
Wait for me.

Einar
The lake was frozen,
You took me for a walk over the ice,
I cracked, The ice cracked, I fell into the lake,
I watched you through the eyes.

Björk
Love into you, lover, i want you,
Wait for me underneath the water,
Wait for me and singalong,
"She's coming, coming, coming,"
Wait for me, I'm coming.

Einar
I watched you through the ice
I expected you to crawl for help
I smiled, you just stood there
I tried to kiss you through the ice,
You just walked away

Björk
Under frozen, over water, under, over
Frozen mountain...
Wait for me underneath the water

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!

Eg og hann, ég og hann...

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 could 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
I'm in rapture
You've put a seed inside me
Oh, and while you're away
Seed
It's growing silently
To be a life
Starts in my stomach
Embraces my insides
Inside
And about to reach my heart

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

Eg og hann, ég og hann...

Einar
This really hurts!

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

Einar
My pain is my pain
Your cure is vitamins

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

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

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

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

(Hurrah, hurrah!)

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

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
Use some - show me off

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,
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.

Einar
Between the hills!

Björk
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.

Einar
Between the hills!

Björk
There's a tunnel and there's a train.

Einar
Admire the view.

Björk
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.

Einar
Is everything a landscape?
I'm in 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.

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
And gold, begotten of the sun...
Give me gold!
I need it now, oh gold!

Einar
I'm still searching for gold
I need gold

Björk
And I have to have a chunk of... gold

Einar
No indication of gold

Björk
Just a little piece of gold for me!

Einar
In the core of the earth

Björk
Oh, gold!

Einar
I see the glow, this is the gold

Björk
Gold, gold! Oh gold!

Einar
I need gold!

Björk and Einar
Oh, gold!

Björk
Bow-wow
Chi-hua-hua-hua-hua-hua!
Dog, bad dog, bad dog, best dog
Bow-wow-wow-wow-wow
Chi-hua-hua-hua-hua-hua!

Einar
It were aliens who started this green popularity
Sure were aliens

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

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