Bjork - Homogenic Lyrics






Hunter

If travel is searching,
And home, what's been found...

If travel is searching,
And home, what's been found...

I'm not stopping.

I'm going hunting.
I'm the hunter.
I'll bring back the goods,
But I don't know when.

I thought I could organize freedom...
How Scandinavian of me!
You sussed it out, didn't you?

You could smell it,
So you left me on my own,
To complete the mission.
Now I'm leaving it all behind.

I'm going hunting.
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter.
I'm going hunting.
I'm the hunter.
I'm the hunter.
I'm the hunter.
I'm the hunter.
I'm... the... hunter...

Jóga

All these accidents that happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
The riddle gets solved
And you push me up to

This state of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

All that no one sees
You see what's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts
You heal deep inside of me, ooh
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Confuse
Can the riddle get solved?
And you push me up to

This state of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
State of emergency
How beautiful to be

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
The riddle gets solved
And you push me up to

This state of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

State of emergency
How beautiful to be

State of emergency
State of
(Allt sem hann sér)
(Allt sem hann sér)
(Allt sem hann sér)
State of
(Allt sem hann sér)
(Allt sem hann sér)
How beautiful
(Allt sem hann sér)
(Allt sem hann sér)
Emergency
(Allt sem hann sér)
Is where I want to be

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
State of emergency

Unravel

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love

Bachelorette

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotized by the whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
The game we're playing is life
Love's a two way dream

Leave me now - return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name you will go astray
Like a killer whale trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one-way street

I'm a whisper in water
A secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now - return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name go astray
Like a killer whale trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder's hand
I'm the branch that you break

[Sung in Icelandic:]
Life is a necklace of fears
Your uncried tears on a string
Our love will untie them - come here
Loving me is the easiest thing

All Neon Like

Not 'til you halo all over me
I'll come over
Not 'til it shimmers 'round your skull
I'll be yours
I weave for you
The marvellous web
Glow in the dark threads
All neon like
The cocoon surrounds you
Embraces all
So you can sleep
Foetus-style
They will assist us
'cause we're asking for help
And the luminous beam - it feeds you!
The soft distortion
Fills you up
Nourish nourish
Your turtle heart
They will assist us
'cause we're asking for help
And the luminous beam - it feeds you!
(Don't get angry with yourself)
(Don't get angry with yourself)
I'll heal you
... with a razor blade, I'll cut a slit open
And the luminous beam feeds you, honey!

5 Years

You think you're denying me of something
Well I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice
'till after five years
If you'll live that long
You'll wake up
All loveless

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored with cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love
You can't handle love
You just can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

What's so scary?
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love,
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you, I dare you
I dare you, I dare you

Immature

How could I be so immature
To think he would replace
The missing elements in me?

How extremely lazy of me!

Alarm Call

I have walked this earth and watched people.
I can be sincere and say I like them

You can't say no to hope, can't say no to happiness

I want to go on a mountain-top
With a radio and good batteries
Play a joyous tune
And free the human race from suffering

I'm no f*cking Buddhist but this is enlightenment

The less room you give me, the more space I've got

This is an alarm-call so wake-up wake-up now

Today has never happened and it doesn't frighten me

Pluto

Excuse me
But I just have to explode
Explode this body
Off me

I'll be brand new
Brand new tomorrow
A little bit tired
But brand new

All Is Full Of Love

you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you

all is full of love
you just aint receiving
all is full of love
your phone is off the hook
all is full of love
your doors are all shut
all is full of love!

all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
...

Homogenic is the third studio album by Icelandic recording artist Björk.[a] It was released on 20 September 1997 by One Little Indian Records. Produced by Björk, Mark Bell, Guy Sigsworth, Howie B, and Markus Dravs, the album marked a stylistic change, focusing on similar-sounding music combining electronic beats and string instruments with songs in tribute to her native country Iceland.

Homogenic was originally to be produced in her home in London, but was halted due to media attention from Björk surviving a murder attempt by a stalker. She later relocated to Spain to record the album. It marked the first of several production collaborations between Björk and Bell, whom she would cite as a major influence on her musical career.

Upon its release, Homogenic received widespread critical acclaim. It topped the Icelandic albums chart, peaking at number 28 on the US Billboard 200 and number 4 on the UK Albums Chart. The album produced five singles—"Jóga", "Bachelorette", "Hunter", "Alarm Call", and "All Is Full of Love"—and was further promoted with the Homogenic tour (1997-1999). Retrospectively, Homogenic has continued receiving critical acclaim, being listed among the best albums of all time by numerous critics.
