i've been listening to music all morning. hadn't heard this in ages and was reminded that as with so many of Bjork's love songs, she writes 'em like few others can... and though it's near impossible to make a choice, i always find the strings in this track nothing short of breath-taking. this is for him, who is no less so...
One hand allows the other
So much and me
Born stubborn me
Will always be
Before you count
One two three
I will have grown my own private branch
Of this tree
You gardener
You discipliner
Domestically
I can obey all of your rules
And still be, be
I never thought I would compromise
Let's unite tonight
We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight
I thrive best hermit style
With a beard and a pipe
And a parrot on each side
But now I can't do this without you
I never thought I would compromise
Let's unite tonight
We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight
One hand allows the other
So much and me
Unison
Unison
Unison
15 days and counting...
