BJORK lyrics : "None The Sweeter Than Me Can Be Seen"
when my mother had me
for she was such a slender sort
The doctor was fetched
and finally her daughter was born
and none sweeter than me was ever seen
My father spent usually
his time at sea half-drunk
but he could not deny me
At first he was rather shocked
but then he said, relieved
that none sweeter than me can be seen
Sweeter than me
Sweeter than me
no none sweeter than me can be seen
Before I would know it
every boy would stare at me
the way girls do at forget-me-nots
They would shiver
and say to themselves:
she is hard to get
but very secure - I would think
and none sweeter than me can be seen
I learned while in childshoes
to speak proper English
and my songvoice was "sweet and gay"
But westwards in the country
I stumbled into marriage
it was sad for a nice girl like me
He had put into habit
to love all Americana
so I kissed him and said "okay"
Then I discovered deceit
when he spoke in his sleep
and I found out, he was very Icelandic after all
Just Icelandic
Just Icelandic
who wanted an Icelandic me
But now things are different
I go dancing merrily at night
and they call me Forget-me-not
And the boys all shiver
they say to themselves:
no, you sending me currents of love - what luck!
'cause none sweeter than me can be seen
