1.Eat the menu

Einar
Limousines, oranges,
Stars, moons,
Submarines, Jeeps,
Glaciers, Cars,
Caterpillars, even grapes

Björk
It's none of my business
But you have to eat
Your appetite is appalling

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Have, have, have some salad

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Bite, bite, bite an apple

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Suck, suck, suck an orange

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Taste, taste, taste the pate

Björk
I'm just a maid, but yes to food is yes to life

Einar
I've got to eat something
Otherwise I'll just die
But the choice is too great
I can't decide what to eat
I'll possibly just eat the menu?

Björk
How would you like strawberry juice?
Or lemon red sea perch?

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Bite, bite, bite the kiwi

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Have, have, have some chicken

Björk
I'm just a maid, but yes to food is yes to life

Einar
The waiter came with the menu
And said here you go.
I said thank you but
The choice is too great,
Why can't I be a cod
In the depths of the ocean
And just eat small fish
The cod has such simple taste
But I've got all the choice

Björk
Bite, bite, bite an apple

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Einar
Limousines, oranges,
Stars, moons,
Submarines, Jeeps,
Glaciers, Cars,
Even Caterpillars.

Björk
Oh, you vague costomer
You'll have to look somewhere else
You have to find something to eat

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
No! eat eat, eat a moment

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Eat eat, eat the feeling

Einar
Eat eat eat the menu

Björk
Eat eat, eat the feeling,
Eat eat, eat the person,
Eat eat, eat the rockband

Einar
I won't complain but...


2.Tidal wave

Einar
The diesel is so nice
I just need something!

Björk
The barometer is falling down, I feel so sultry
Something is simmering and boiling inside me
If I ignore it and squeeze out laughter
I charge up with a typhoon, hurricanes and storms

Einar
I just need the diesel, I just find the smell,
I just sniff it and I can feel the harbour just close by,
I just try to sniff the diesel but I can't, I just can't get
enough,

Björk
Theres danger, danger!

A tide with an undertow, the sea is swelling
Impatience makes me foam
A wave inside me forces out big words
They splash and sprinkle
An angry torrent breaking loose, a flush or rushing joy

Einar
The diesel, just makes me feel,
It just fills my veins
I don't know why
it just does

The diesel is so....

Björk
It shouldn't gush out

Einar
It just fills me up

Björk
Don't want it to be fussy

Einar
I can't have a cigarette

Björk
It shouldn't gush out

Einar
It just fills me up
if i have a cigarette, it would make me go boom!

Björk
And I can't help it, I'm exploding again
I'm calling weather stationNnomad
And satellite Nimbus
It's a blizzard inside me, a bomb ticking!
This is the tidal wave

Einar
The diesel!

Björk
Here comes the tidal wave, ho-ho!

Einar
The diesel!

Björk
This is the tidal wave

Einar
The diesel!

Björk
Here comes the tidal wave.

Einar
The diesel is so nice


3.Dream TV

Einar
Last night, I woke up,

Björk
I'm a T.V.

Einar
Last night a good dream woke me up

Einar
I was entertained and smiled
Jumped straight out of my bed
Humming this and that
And got myself a glass of water

Björk
Transforming T.V.

Einar
And sat down in my favourite chair
And kept smiling but not for long

Björk
Transforming T.V.

Einar
Because I realised that all my dreams are
Nothing but the repetition
Of last week's television

Einar
I was no longer amused by, by my dream.

Björk
I'm on my knees

Einar
Like a lame turtle I paced the room

Björk
Down on all four follows

Einar
Who was disturb, I must without

Björk
Antennae

Einar
Knowledge I could only blame myself
And no one else

Björk
Thrust out through my forehead

Einar
Tried to sleep again,
He can, he can, no,
Not a dream, not again
But then remembered
That all my dreams are
Nothing but the repetition
Of last week's television.

Björk
I've turned into a T.V,
My screen is smiling,
To get your attention,
I want you.
Ohoh I'm a TV

Einar
So I jumped out of my bed
And into the T.V. room
And in my anger
Threw the T.V. set out the window
Regretted instantly
Because this was a brand new 26 inch T.V.
Set in my bed once again,
Couldn't sleep
Because all my life,
All my dreams had gone out the window
With this new T.V. set


4.Hot meat

Björk
I close the door

Einar
I close the door

Björk
Shouldn't burn yet

Einar
No it won't

Björk
But the wires get hotter

Einar
It's sure to get hotter

Björk
My palms are glowing

Einar
My palms are, oh!

Björk & Einar
This is hot meat
This is metallic blood
This is hot meat
This is open sweat

Björk
I'm gonna show you with my fingers

Einar
With her fingers

Björk
I'll have to draw with the eye

Einar
Draw with the eyes

Björk
With your own breath

Einar
With her own breath 'huff & puff'

Björk
I'll tear your lungs

Björk & Einar
This is hot meat
This is metallic blood
Here is hot meat
Open sweat

Einar
Well i'll be damned
If this ain't the country and
Western version of Cold Sweat
I heard it ... ago
It's bad, bad, bad
But in this side of the blackest meadows
I make my winter dwelling
And there, I crush my bones

Björk
This is hot meat
This is metallic blood
Is hot meat
Uh-open sweat
I'll sail out the window

Einar
I'll sail out the window

Björk
I'll walk down the edge
I will not finish
'Til I'm fully satisfied

Björk & Einar
This is hot meat
This is metallic blood
This is hot meat
This is open sweat

This is hot meat
This is metallic blood
Hot meat
Open sweat


5.Nail

Einar
Walk through here
Walk through here
Walk.

Björk
When I've been just by myself
I start thinking too much
Unhealthy things start to happen
Like gastric disorders
Oh, oh oh

Einar
Oh no..

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Oh yes..

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Oh no..

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Ohh..
I just go out walking
With my favourite piece of wood
With a 4 inch nail driven through it

Björk
Walkin! I'm coming!

When I am just by myself
I think too much
I start polishing my behaviour
Without any mercy
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Oh no..

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Oh yes..

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Oh no..

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Somehow all the people
Don't seem to like me
I don't know why
I just met them

Björk
Can't you see?

Einar
Aaaah!

Björk
When I've been just by myself
I start thinking too much
I know I'm not talkative
What!
I've become dry?!
An emotional biscuit?!
That's nonsense!
Not at all!
Sir, this nail of yours is rusty
It's evil!
I can't deal with it!
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Sorry!

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Sorry!

Björk
Oh-oh-oh!

Einar
Sorry!


6.Pump

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!

Björk
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


7.Regina

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,

Björk
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


8.Shoot him

Einar
Kann vi ekki skjóta hann?

There were four of us
One of us was the landlord
There were, we were on a drinking spree
I had eaten my take-away
I washed my landlord, he was covered in gravy
The others were amazed how dirty he was
How I was, but I said,
He never took a bath,
He never takes a bath,
So why, why don't we just shoot him?

Björk
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you just shoot him?

Einar
I said that's no polite manner to behave in
But something like that I was too drunk to remember
I said, he can't suffer the cold water
He'll die! He'll die!
They said no way, jose!
I said, my name ain't Jose
He said yes it is
But I think he was already dead
He suffered a stroke in the bath
So why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?

Björk
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you just shoot him?

Einar
I said oh no
And he was so dirty
But why give him a bath?
Why don't you just give him a bullet

Björk
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?
Why don't you shoot him?

Einar
In the head?


9.Water

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.

Björk
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


10.Planet

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.


11.The bee

Björk
Who is it?,
Who'll get the sting,
Who'll get the stripes,
Black and yellow,
A dangerous creature,
Chattering wings,
Flashing antennae,
Who is it?

Björk
It buzzes fine,
The bee,
Buzzes fine, stings deep.

Einar
I play a frightened little game
I eject myself at scary speed
In front of cars and i go yeaah!

Björk
She is it,
She's got the sting,
She's dangerous,
She stings,
He gets stung,
He is out,
She gets the honey,
She is it.

Björk
She flies great,
The bee,
Flies great, stings deep.

Einar
The cars freeze from fright,
When they see my beautiful body and tongue
Then I speed away

Einar
No one catches me.
I'm the fastest bee in town.

Björk
Oh, hot bee,
Queen of heaven,
With glossy trunk,
Buzz to me,
I want to be stung,
I want to be out,
Here is the honey,
You're it.

Björk
It stings deep - the bee
Stings deep!
Oh, the bee!
It stings deep, kills fast!


12.Dear plastic

Björk
Plastic
Nylon
Terylene
Made of atoms
By tender fingers
And determined heads
Of inventors
Tickling
Perfection

Björk
Plastic
Rayon

Einar
I was born aeons ago
Before anything human was known
My friends the alchemists
Told me everything was natural
And always will be that way
And possible to make gold from dirt

Björk
Plastic
Nylon
Dear plastic
Be proud
Don't imitate anything
You're pure, pure, pure

Björk
Plastic
Nylon

Einar
I believed I was their dustbin for knowledge
Took everything and digested
Of course I became big,
Big and really really strong

Today I'm old and withering away
My friends the alchemists
Long disappeared into dust
I no longer get anything fruity
No longer gold made from dirt
The only thing I get is spacefood on a tray

Björk
Woah!
Plastic, plastic, plastic ...


13.Speed is the key

Einar
Straight into the air,
At lightning speed,
Fasten your seatbelts,
The future is mine.

Björk
I'm a future woman
In an irresistable world
Fast and sparkling
Speed is the key

Einar
Lizards at lightning speed
Surprise me all the time
Does no one respect space rules?

Björk
A big fresh meat slice
A streamlined solid steal knife in it
I must energize
Speed is the key

Einar
Lizards playing around
And I'm one of them
So I said: lizards
Of the world, unite!

Björk
I'm a spacegirl
Pass me that aeroplane
I've got to go now
Speed is the key

I'm a space woman
Shaped like a, a bullet
No barriers
Whosh!
There goes another second
Doubt kills
Speed is the key


14.A day called zero

Björk
A day called zero,
Is the day we'll all relax,
Mountains will tumble,
With a long and heavy thump,
Dust spreads on the sky,
So the sun will grow pale,
Oil tanks tear open,
And the city livens up.

Björk & Einar
A day called zero

Björk
A day called zero,
Will be such a busy day,
Whistling marches,
I'll hoover my past away,
Controlling a bulldozer,
I will improve my town,
Stacking concrete slabs,
Me and you my pluto.

Björk & Einar
A day called zero

Björk
Will you be with me on that day?,
We'll be watching and smiling,
At last it's over,
Nothing stops us now,
Come and enter,
Me let's multiply,
On a day called zero.

Björk & Einar
A day called zero X5
