VEXING - LYRICS


ISABELLA
Mediaeval Baebes

Io Isabella danzando ne prati
Verdi della primavera
Girando e girando, cascando e cascando
Nel mondo delle elfi sognando
Mi prendono la mano, mi portano lontano
Mi prendono la mano, mi portano lontano

(I Isabella dancing
on the spring meadows
Turning and turning, falling and falling
Into the world of the elves dreaming
They take my hand and they take me far away
They take my hand and they take me far away)

HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
Bjork

If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so irresistible
There's no map
To human behaviour
They're terribly moody
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so satisfying
There's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behaviour

THE SEA ANGLER
Faith & the Muse (words by Goethe)

There was a gentle angler who was angling in the sea  
With heart as cold as only heart untaught of love can be  
When suddenly the water rushed and swelled and up there sprang  
A humid maid of beauty's mold and thus to him she sang  

 "Why dost thou strive so artfully to lure my brood away  
And leave them to die beneath the sun's all scorching ray?  
Couldst thou but tell how happy are the fish that swim below?  
Thou wouldst with me taste of joy which earth can never know."  

 The water rushed the water swelled and touched his naked feet  
And fancy whispered to his heart it was a love pledge sweet  
She sang another siren lay more 'witching than before  
Half-pulled half-plunging down he sank and ne'er was heard of more.

EVERAFTER
Claire Voyant

The sun stole your heart and
then left you in the sane world
I do realize I’m often vague
The shore smells the sweetest when all that is left your pale your dry
And I do recognize I’m often vain

Eros stole your words and you weren’t the same
-not scared of time
and I do recognize there is more than fate
the souls never-ending and worth the wait-

It’s safe to fly

I do recognize this old souls face

Everafter... I do believe in Everafter. I do

CAT & DOG
Lycia

I saw you standing in a field of green
you were smiling, shining in the sunny breeze
and you were fine
I saw you sitting in the trees
you were dreaming, reaching up on bended knees
and you were fine
we are rolling, flying on the sea
arms extended you envelope me
and we are fine
and we are fine
