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
