Ah, another beautiful album. Each of Bjork's albums acquires a different style, and Homogenic proves it. Homogenic is an immense change from the bumpin' beats of Debut and the unique blend of sounds in Post. Dark, mysterious, lovely, all apply to this album, and Bjork...of course. My favourites include "Joga," "Unravel," "5 Years," and "All Is Full Of Love."

Hunter

if travel is searching
and home has 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

thought i could organise 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.....

(you just didn't know me!)

(you just didn't know me)

Joga


all the 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

-- then 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
you don't have to speak - I feel
emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
confuse

-- then 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........

........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 bird on the brim
hypnotized by the whirl

drink me - make me real
wet your beak in the stream
the game we're playing is life
love is a two way dream

leave me now - return tonight
the tide will show you the way
forget my name go astray
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

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

i'm a whisper in water
a secret for you to hear
you are the one who grows distant
when I beckon you near

i'm a tree that grows hearts
one for each that you take
your the ground I feed on
we're circle no one can break
leave me now - return tonight
the tide will show you the way
forget my name go astray
killer whale trapped in a bay

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 turtleheart

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 razorblade , 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
until after five years
if you'll live that long
you'll wake up
all love - less

i dare you
to take me on
i dare you
to show me your palms
i'm so bored of cowards
who say what they want
then they can't handle
can't handle love

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 can't handle, you can't handle love

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 fucking 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

wake-up tomorrow
brand new

a little 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've poured yours
into

maybe not
from the directions
you are
staring at

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

all is full of love
you just ain't 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
