About Isobel

"This is the story of Isobel; she was born in a forest by a spark, and as she grew up, she realized that the pebbles on the forest floor were actually skyscrapers. And by the time she was a grown-up woman and the skyscrapers had taken over the forest. She found herself in a city, and she didn't like all the people there so much, because they were a bit too clever for her." Isobel was written by Björk, Nellee Hooper and Marius De Vries, and the lyrics were made by Sjón - his very first songlyric in fact. .

Isobel Lyrics

[00:42.66] In a forest pitch-dark
[00:47.26] Glowed the tiniest spark
[00:52.13] It burst into a flame
[00:56.90] Like me, like me
[01:01.54] My name Isobel
[01:06.16] Married to myself
[01:11.15] My love, Isobel
[01:15.78] Living by herself
[01:20.44]
[01:30.53] In a heart full of dust
[01:35.32] Lives a creature called lust
[01:40.34] It surprises and scares
[01:44.91] Like me, like me
[01:49.39] My name Isobel
[01:53.98] Married to myself
[01:58.63] My love, Isobel
[02:03.44] Living by herself
[02:08.61]
[02:19.92] When she does it, she means to
[02:24.81] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:29.80] Moth delivers her message
[02:34.32] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:39.73] Unexplained on your collar
[02:44.07] Crawling in silence, a simple excuse
[02:51.66] Na, na, na, na, na
[02:56.22] Na, na, na, na, na
[03:01.23] Na, na, na, na, na
[03:06.09] Na, na, na, na, na
[03:11.60] In a tower of steel
[03:16.11] Nature forges a deal
[03:21.04] To raise wonderful hell
[03:25.77] Like me, like me
[03:29.86] My name Isobel
[03:34.99] Married to myself
[03:39.63] My love, Isobel
[03:44.38] Living by herself
[03:51.29] When she does it, she means to
[03:56.17] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[04:00.83] Moth delivers her message
[04:05.53] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[04:10.35] Unexplained on your collar
[04:15.17] Crawling in silence
[04:19.46] A simple excuse
[04:22.89] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:27.49] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:32.44] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:37.47] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:41.91] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:46.77] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:51.68] Na, na, na, na, na
[04:56.32] Na, na, na, na, na
[05:01.08] Na, na, na, na, na
[05:05.51] Na, na, na, na, na
[05:10.65] Na, na, na, na, na
[05:15.44] Na, na, na, na, na
[05:19.26]
