Selma Songs

Cvalda

Björk :
Clatter, crash, clack
Racket, bang, thump
Rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam!

It's music
Now dance

Listen, Cvalda
You're the dancer
You got the sparkle
In your eyes
Look at me entrancer

Clatter, crash, clack
Racket, bang, thump
Rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam!

It's the clatter machines
They greet you
And say
We tap out a rhythm
And sweep you away

A clatter machine
What a magical sound
A room full of noises
That spins you around

Catherine Deneuve :
Darling, Selma
Look who's dancing
Faster than a
Shooting star
Cvalda's here
Cvalda sings

Björk :
Clatter, crash, clack
Racket, bang, thump
Rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam!

It's the clatter machines
They greet you
And say
We tap out a rhythm
And sweep you away

A clatter machine
What a magical sound
And full of noises
That spins us around
That spins us around
It spins us around

I've Seen It All

Björk
I've seen it all
I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves
Dancing in the breeze

Yorke
I've seen a man killed
By his best friend,
And lives that were over
Before they were spent.

Björk & Yorke
I've seen what I was
And I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
There is no more to see

Björk
You haven't seen elephants
Kings or Peru

Yorke
I'm happy to say
I had better to do

Björk
What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?

Yorke
All walls are great
If the roof doesn't fall
And the man you will marry
The home you will share

Björk
To be honest
I really don't care

[gibberish]

Yorke
You've never been
To Niagara Falls

Björk
I have seen water
It's water, that's all

Yorke
The Eiffel Tower
The Empire State

Björk
My pulse was as high
On my very first date

Yorke
And your grandson's hand
As he plays with your hair

Björk
To be honest
I really don't care

[gibberish]

Björk & Yorke
I've seen it all
I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness
In one little spark
I've seen what I chose
And I've seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I've seen what I was
And I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
There is no more to see

Yorke
You've seen it all
And all you have seen
You can always review on
Your own little screen
The light and the dark
The big and the small
Just keep in mind
You need no more at all

Björk & Yorke
You've seen what you were
And know what you'll be
You've seen it all
There is no more to see

[gibberish]

Scatterheart

Black night is falling
The sun is gone to bed
The innocent are dreaming
As you should sleepy-head
Sleepy-head, sleepy-head

All the love above
I send into you
Comfort and protection
I'll watch over you
But don't ask me
What's gonna happen next
I know the future
I'd love to lead you the way
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

My
Dearest
Scatterheart
There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

All the hurt in the world
You know
There's nothing I'd love to do more
Than spare you from that burden
It's gonna be hard
If I only could
Shelter you
From that pain
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself



In The Musicals

Why do I love it so much?
What kind of magic is this?

How come I can't help adore it?
It's just another musical

No one minds it at all
If I'm having a ball
This is a musical

And there is always someone to catch me
There is always someone to catch me
There is always someone to catch me
There is always someone to catch me
When I'd fall

Why do I love you so much?
What kind of magic is this?

How come I can't help adore you?
You are in a musical

I didn't mind it at all
You were having a ball
This is a musical

And you were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
When I'd fall

I don't mind it at all
If you're having a ball
This is a musical

And I'll always be there to catch you
I will always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I will always be there to catch you
You always be there to catch me
And there's always someone to catch me
You always be there to catch me
You always there to catch me
When I'd fall

New world

Train-whistles, sweet clementine
Blueberries dancers in line
Cobwebs, a bakery sign

Ooooh - a sweet clementine
Ooooh dancers in line
Ooooh

If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder, I wonder
What happen's next?
A new world
A new day to see
See, see

I'm softly walking on air
Halfway to heaven frontier
Sunlight unfolds in my hair
Ooooh I'm walking on air
Ooooh to heaven frontier
Ooooh

If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder, I wonder
What happens next?
A new world
A new day to see
See, see
To see...
