i got the basic of the lyrics from The Ultimate Lyrics Library but changed some song lyrics to my interpretation
I need some information on older singles, KUKL and Sugar cubes stuff, if anyone wants to help me please do through e-mail (you don't have to give me lyrics directly, just play lists are welcome too)

The songs in alfabetic order:


5 Years (Homogenic)

You think you're denying me of something
But I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice
'Til after five years
If you live that long
You wake up
all loveless

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
to show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love
You can't handle love
You just can't handle..

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
to show me your palms

What's so scary
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
to show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you....

All Is Full Of Love (Homogenic)

you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you

all is full of love
you just aint recieving
all is full of love
your phone is off the hook
all is full of love
your door's all shut
*gibberish*
all is full of love!
all is full of love!all is full of love!


All neon like (Techno Prayer) (Homogenic)

not 'til you haylo all over me
I'll come over
not 'til it shimmers around your skull
I'll be yours...

I weave for you
the marvellous web
glow-in-the-dark-threads
all neon like

the coccoon surrounds you
embraces all
so you can sleep
foetus-style

they will assist us
'cause we're asking for help
and the luminious beam-it feeds you!

the soft distortion
fills you up
nourish nourish
your turtle-heart

and they will assist us
'cause we're asking for help
and the luminious

DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF!

...I'll heal you...

...with a razorblade, I'll cut a slit open
and the luminious beam heals you honey, heals you!

DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF!
DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF!
DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF!
DON'T GET ANGRY WITH YOURSELF!

I'll heal you
I'll heal you
luminious I'll heal you


Army Of Me (Post)

Stand up
you've got to manage
I won't sympathize
anymore

and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me

you're alright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work

and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me

you're on your own now
we won't save you
your resque-squad
is too exhausted

and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me


Aeroplane (Debut)

i can not
live
mm-peacefully without you
for even
a moment
i miss you
terribly
when you're away

he's away
(o-o-oh)
this ain't right, i'm alone
(o-o-oh)
i'm taking an aeroplane
(o-o-oh)
across the world to
follow my heart

how come
out of all the people in the world
only one
can make me complete?
one word
one word on the phone makes me happy
one touch
but one touch directliy makes me extatic

he's away
(o-o-oh)
this ain't right, i'm alone
(o-o-oh)
i'm taking an aeroplane
(o-o-oh)
across the world to
follow my heart

oohh....


Bachelorette (Shape shifter) (Homogenic)

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 with the stream
the game we're playing is life
love is a two way dream

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 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're 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 intruders hand (???/heart)
i'm the branch that you break
yeah

*gibberish* (but sounds like) who shall light the lighter under me
under me
all-dis-undo
an--chaa... aahh-
who-shall-t... ...who
an--chaa... aahh-
who shall tell shall do


Big Time Sensuality (Debut)

Come To Me (Debut)

come to me
i'll take care of you
protect you
calm, calm down
you're exhausted
come lie down
you don't have to explain
i understand

ooooh
ooooh
ooooh

you know
that i adore you
you know
that i love you
so don't make me say it
it would burst the bubble
break the charm

jump off
your building's on fire
and i'll catch you
(i'll catch you)
i'll catch you
(i'll catch you)
destroy all that is keeping you down
and then i'll nurse you

ooooh

you know
that i adore you
you know
that i love you
so don't make me say it
it would burst the bubble
break the charm


Cover Me (Post)

while I crawl into the unknown
cover me
I'm going hunting for mysteries
cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists

this is really dangerous
cover me
but worth all the effort
cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists



Crying (Debut)

I travel
All around the city
Go in and out of
Locomotives
All alone

There's no-one here
And people everywhere!

Crying 'cause I need you
Crying I can feel you
Crying 'cause I need you
Crying 'cause i care!

It's a hot day
And i'm dressed lightly
I move carefully
Through the crowd
Here everyone are so vulnerable
And I'm as well

There's no-one here
And people everywhere!

Crying 'cause I need you
Crying I can feel you
Crying 'cause I need you
Crying 'cause I care!

Only if a ship would sail in
Or just somebody came
And knocked on my door
Or just, or just something!

Crying 'cause I need you
Crying I can feel you
Crying 'cause I need you
Crying 'cause I care!

(background vocals)
taaaaaa.....ta-taaaaaa...ta-taaaaaa...ta-taaaaa...


Enjoy (Post)

I wish: I want to stay here
I wish: this be enough
I wish: I only love you
I wish: simplicity

look at the speed out there
it magnetizes me to it
and I have no fear
I'm only into this to

ENJOY
ENJOY * ENJOY
ENJOY

I wish I'd only look
a-and didn't have to touch
I wish I'd only smell this
a-and didn't have to taste

how can I ignore?
this is sex without touching!
I'm going to explore
I'm only into this to

ENJOY
ENJOY * ENJOY
ENJOY

Human Behaviour (Debut)

if you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready, be ready to get confused
~han-meehee-ee-an-ma-he-afte~

there's definitely,definitely, definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so, yet so irresistible
~han-meehee-ee-an-mathier~

and there is no map
~an-sehect-eehh~

they're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
oh human behaviour
then all of a suddenly turn happy
~han-tahay-en-ma-hedafter~

but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions
is ever so, ever so satisfying
*san-say-en-ma-hea

and there is no map!
~an-sayact-eeh~

(human behaviour)
(human behaviour)
(human behaviour)
(human behaviour)

and there is no map!!
and a compass wouldn't help at all!
YEEeeaah!
~an-sayac-teee~

(human behaviour)
(human behaviour)

there's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic...

Hunter (Homogenic)

Ooooohhh... Ooooohhh...Ooooohhh...Ooooohhh...

It travels in searching
And home what's been found
I'm not stopping

I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when

I thought I could organize freedom
How scandinavian of me!
~en-cha-le-li~
~en-cha-le~
You sussed it out didn't you
yeah yeah!

you could smell it
so you left me on my own
to complete the mission
now i'm leaving it all behind

Hyper-Ballad (Post)

we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like car parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying around

it's become a habit
a way
to start the day

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

it's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
I listen to the sound they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
I imagine what my body would sound like
slamming
against those rocks

and when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

safe up here
with you
safe up here
with you
safe up here with you
safe up here with you


I Miss You (Post)

I miss you - but I haven't met you yet
so special - but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgous - but I haven't met you yet
I remember - but it hasn't happened yet

and, if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you

I was peaking - but it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given - my best souvenir
Yeaah
I miss you - but I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
hoh! I, I, I, I miss you!

I 'm s-so impatient!
I can't stand the wait!
when will I get my cuddle?
who are you!?

I know by now
that you'll arrive
by the time
ah-I stop waiting

I miss you
yeah
WOW!


Immature (Homogenic)

How (x7)
How could
I
be so im-ma-ture
to think
he
could re-place
the mis-sing e-lements in me?
How ex-treme-ly lazy of me

?????? ... ???

How could I be so immature

(something like) peace emotion


Isobel (Post)

in a forrest pitch-dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flames
like me, like me

my name Isobel
married to myself
my love Isobel
living by herself

in a heart full of dust
lives a creature called lust
it surprises and scares
like me, like me

my name Isobel
married to myself
my love Isobel
living by herself

when she does it she means to
Oo-oo-ooh..hoh...
moth delivers her message
Oo-oo-ooh..hoh...
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana-na-nana
nana-na-nana
nana-na-nana
nana-na-nana

in her tower of steel
nature forges a deal
to raise wonderful hell
like me
like me

my name Isobel
married to myself
my love Isobel
living by herself

when she does it she means to
Oo-oo-ooh..hoh...
moth delivers her message
Oo-oo-ooh..hoh...
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana-na-nana nana-na-nana
nana-na-nananana-na-nana

jòga/state of emergency (Homogenic)

all these accidents
that happen
- follow the dot
coincidence
makes sense
only with you
you don't have to speak
I feel
emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
then the riddle gets solved
and you push me up to this:

state of emergency
how beautiful to be!
state of emergency
is where I want to be

all that no-one sees
you see
what's inside of me
every nerve that hurts you heal
deep inside of me, oo-oohh
you don't have to speak
I feel
emotional landscapes
they puzzle me - confuse
- then the riddle gets solved
and you push me up to this:

state of emergency
how beautiful to be!
state of emergency
is where I want to be


Like Someone In Love (Debut)

lately
i find myself
out gazing at stars
hearing guitars
like someone in love

sometimes the things i do astound me
mostly whenever you're around me

lately i seem to walk
as though i have wings
bump into things
like someone in love

each time i look at you
i'm limp as a glove
and feeling
like someone in love


Nature is ancient (Homogenic)

It's wet in the middle
with a shell around it
it's called life

it goes wherever it wants to
don't try to predict it
then you'd offend it
it's meant to surprise

Nature is ancient
but surprises us all
Nature is ancient
but surprises us all

Rescue me
from level-head-ness
And unnecessary luxury of being calm

Nature is ancient
but surprises us all
Nature is ancient
but surprises us all

She got dark hear on her head
blond on her arms
she sneaks up from behind
Come-on
-You deserve it

Nature is ancient
but surprises us all
Nature is ancient
but surprises us all
Nature is ancient
but surprises us all
Nature is ancient
but surprises us all
Nature is ancient
so ancient
Nature is ancient, ancient


One day (Debut)


Play Dead (Debut)

darling
stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful embraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here
where no-one cares and no-one loves
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear

haaa
hrmm-yeah!
haaaaa

i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and the hurt stops
its sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache

haaaa
hrmm-yeah!
haaaaaaa

i play dead

it stops the hurting


Pluto (Homogenic)

Excuse me
But I just have to
Explode

Brand new tomorrow

But brand new

Possibly Maybe (Post)

spending little time with you
sometimes

who knows what's going to happen?
lottery or car crash?
or you join a cult

it came about through happenstance
that I happened to be hap-happy
yeah, just a bonus to it!

possibly maybe
probably love
possibly maybe
probably love

mon petit vulcan
you're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
admiring your lava
I keep calm, caress

possibly maybe
probably love
possibly maybe
probably love

electric shocks?
I love them!
with you ----> dozen a day!
but after a while I wonder...
where's that love you promised me?
where is it!?

possibly maybe
probably love
possinbly, possibly
posibly maybe...

how can you offer me love like that!?
my heart's burned...
how can you offer me love like that!?!?
I'm exhausted!
leave me alone!

possibly maybe
possibly maybe
possibly maybe

since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
in remembrance of you...

possibly maybe
possibly maybe possibly maybe
possibly maybe possibly maybe

this is possibly love

Sod off (Homogenic)

I know i've been tolerant till now
but here comes a warning
there's a very clear line that i am drawing
and if you cross it

Sod off
Sod off

If you think i'll let you come it down to
you're third class communication
and bulldoze over all my sensitivities
you read me all wrong

Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off

think so far
had been to perfect
this is the premier
but oh how many dress rehearsals
i've been through

but darling this is far to pure imperfect
i let you corrupt it

Sod off
i will let you ruin this

Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off


The Anchor Song (Debut)

i live by the ocean
and during the night
i dive into it
down to the bottom
underneath all currents
and drop my anchor

ah-this is where i'm staying
this is my home


The Modern Things (Post)

all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
in a mountain for the right moment

and listening to the
a-irritating noises
of dinosaurs
and people
dabbling outide

yeah-hee-ee!
~Engin fylgist alveg með~
yeah-hee-ee!
~Sólin sekkur~
yeah-hee-ee!
~Engin sér við mér~

~það er sól þegar hann~
~andar inn í mér~
~og hann bítur mig~
~hann bítur mig, já~
~hann kemur med~
~fylgir eftir mér~
~telur með~
~siglir eftir mér~

all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
~yeah-buh-me-leethe-him~
to come out
and multiply
and take over
it's their turn now!

yeah-hee-ee!
~Engin setuler hann~

There's More To Life Than This (Debut)

come on girl!
let's sneak out of this party
it's getting boring
there's more to life than this

it's still early morning
we could go down to the harbour
and jump between the boats
and see the sun come up

(background vocals)
you know there's more to life than this
you know there's more to life

there's more
to life than this
there's more
to life than this

we could nick a boat
and sneak off to this island
i could bring my little ghetto-blaster
there's more to life than this
but then we'd have to rush back
to the town's best baker
to get the first bread of the morning
there's more to life than this

(background vocals)
you know there's more to life than this
you know there's more to life

there's more
to life than this
there's more
to life than this


Unravel (yarn) (Homogenic)

ta ta
ta ta lo ho lo ha
ta ta eh lo ho ho ho ho
ta ta oh ho ho ha
ta ta

While you are away
my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
the devil collects it
with a grin
our love
in a ball of yarn

he'll never return it

so when you come back
we'll have to make new love

he'll never return it

when you come back
we'll have to make new love

Violently Happy (Debut)

since i
mm-met you
this small
a-town
a-hasn't got room
for my big feelings

violently happy
'cause i love you

violently happy
but you're not here

violently happy
come calm me down
before
i get into trouble

i tip-toe down to the shore
stand by the ocean
make it roar at me
and i roar back

violently happy
'cause i love you

violently happy
but you're not here

violently happy
overemotional

violently happy
i'll get into trouble
real soon
if you don't get here baby!

violently happy
'cause i love you

violently happy
i'm aiming too high

violently happy
it will get me into trouble

violently happy
i'm driving my car
too fast
with extatic music on

violently happy
i'm getting too drunk

violently happy
i'm daring people to
jump off roofs with me
only you can
calm me down
i'm aiming too high
soothe me...


You've Been Flirting Again (Post)

all that she said was true
all that she said was true
give her some time
give her some space
all that she said was true

all that she meant was good
all that she meant was good
give her some time
give her some space
all that she meant was good

how you reacted was right
how you reacted was right
give her some time
give her some space
how you reacted was right
