björk misheard lyrics

title says it all

i'm the f*cking goodest, penises enlighten me - alarm call
he makes me want to hang my self, help her - pagan poetry
maury you're ratchet - earth intruders

Mostly not mine, but ones I've heard others singing:

I go through a list before you wake up

I want to be on a mountain top, with a radio and good batteries and make a giant stew to free the human race from suffering

Possibly maybe, probably not

You can't say no to hope, you can't say no to a penis

I have lost my oranges and I don't want to find them again

I'm sure there's more. I'll add as I think of them

Not really misheard - but different sources are reporting different versions of a New World line:

Halfway to heaven from here
or
Halfway to heaven frontier

he makes me want to hang my self, help her - pagan poetry

For the longest time, I thought she was saying:

"He makes me want to have my son - all over!"

I thought she wanted to go though the experience of being pregnant/childbirth/labor pains again. Made perfect sense to me at the time

That gibberish part in pagan poetry...shortly before she sings "I love him" ...I heard her singing "...and do anything"

Also, there's a little bit of a debate about part of the lyrics to Hyperballad. I made mention of this on this thread.
I think I always thought she said "up here" instead of "again" because I knew the

version before I heard the

version.
In the

version, I am almost positive she is saying up here.

"Up here" makes more sense than "again" (context-wise) and AFAIR it is how it's written in the Post booklet, so you're definitely right.

In “I Miss You”
I hear:

“When will I get my caldron?”

Am I wrong on that, am I getting a sense Bjork wants to be a Witch in this song?
What is she actually saying?

I already posted this in the Dark Matter thread. I remember in Polish forum we tried to make out the words she sings in this song, and eventually we came up with this (it works if you read it while listening to the song):

Dark Matter

And semen do
Old semen do
All cool moo on me
Then they do me to see

Old semen do
Old semen or not old semen - do
Who?
On me, calmly
On me
Do
Who?

On me done
Old, on me done
Old done two evils who
Undid a poo
On me

On me done, undo
In a law, on me done
Do
Old semen may
Do
Who?
Who?

sstop this

Anak · Postby **Anak** » Sat Jan 31, 2015 9:38 pm

But it does work, doesn't it? It even has some sort of coherency, you could try and make out the meaning of these cryptic lyrics.

I'm going to have to make my own to cleanse myself from undid a poo on me

I always thought Dark Matter was a sort of hidden message that, if decyphered, would reveal all about

She says so in the lyric, anyway:

"In that song
on the album
a ney"

perUmbram · Postby **perUmbram** » Fri Feb 13, 2015 9:17 am

Ps. The lyrics to that song, at least my version of it, actually do reveal everything Biophilia really stands for.

Biophilia according to Baka.
Moon: nourished them with their saliva (and semen)
Thunderbolt: cold froth (and semen) on my twig
Crystalline: equalize the flow (of semen)
Cosmogony: a sudden bang and then there was light and sound and (semen)
Dark Matter: (semen and old poo)
Hollow: thread me upon this chain (of semen)
Virus: you open up, say welcome and unprotected sex (I kinda agree with you on that one)
Sacrifice: your generosity will show in volume of her (semenlike) glow
Mutual Core: this eruption (of semen) undoes stagnation
Solstice: receiving radiance (of semen) from others

"Now she's poisoned by demons
You cannot answer."
"When she left the crowd voluntarily
For your nest, for your love."

instead of...

"Now she's poisoned by demands
You cannot answer."
"When she left her craft voluntarily
For your nest, for your love."

It made sense for me at the time

I always remember when

leaked, and we didn't have official lyrics, somebody in the old forum insisted, repeatedly, that in "It's Not Up To You" Björk sang:

"How do I master the perfect day?
Six glasses of water, seven KUMQUATS"

Sorry, if you're still around here, but this has made me laugh for almost 14 years

Not exactly a misheard lyric, but every time on Violently Happy, I think I'm about to hear:

this small town hasn't got room
for my big feet

And then I hear feelings instead

Black Lake, when I first heard it, this one actually made sense

your heart is hollow
