Bachelorette by Björk, is a majestic, fear imposing love song. A dark death march of modernity. Beautiful. It is from her album Homogenic (1997).
Lyrics by Sjón. Here's the lyrics:
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 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
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
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
The music video of this song is also fantastic.
