 Bjrk - Homogenic - Bachelorette
Bjrk&Sjn  2005.04.02. 14:08 
 "Isobel decides to return to the city and to take a train, like in the 30's, in South America somewhere. She decides to confront love with love and confronts the cowards that don't have the guts to fall in love with love. So you see - it's like Isobel has returned. "
Bachelorette is the sequel in this epic tale written by Bjrk with lyrics by Sjn. Released on her third album "Homogenic", it was also chosen as one of the first singles. A tall adventure. Produced by Bjrk. The video to the song was realised by - once again - Michel Gondry, who now had done 6 videos for Bjrk.
Regarding the extra lyrics in the booklet that are unsung in the song, Sjn said this in a bjork.com interview september 2004: "I think the artwork for Homogenic was at the printers before the final vocals were laid down, so you were never supposed to see the extra verses for Bachelorette. But you did and I'll never recover from being exposed like that ... ;-)"
 
  
 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 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
 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
 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 tree that grows hearts
 one for each that you take
 you're the intruders hand
 I'm the branch that you break
