Cilp - Isobel

Isobel was written by Björk, Nellee Hooper and Marius De Vries, and the lyrics were made by Sjón - his very first songlyric in fact. Nellee Hooper and Björk produced it together, and released it in 1995 on Björk's second album "Post". To direct this video, Michel Gondry was once again called in for his unique visual style.

ISOBEL
in a forest pitch-dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flame
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
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana na nana : nana na nana

in a 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
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana na nana : nana na nana
nana na nana : nana na nana
