Bachelorette (Björk)

Today, I feel in the mood for rescuing a wonderful song, from a wonderful singer. Bachelorette is a song by Icelandic songwriter Björk. It was contained in the electronic album Homogenic of 1997.

This video was directed by Michael Gondry, who has directed at least six videos of Björk. I have included a post about Michael Gondry in "La vergüenza..."

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is 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
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The 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 intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break
