more excellent björk lyrics

this song actually cracked me up today.

i have heard this song at least a dozen times during the past few days, but for some reason i have never really listened to the lyrics. i just kinda liked the way it sounded. but i think that happens quite often with her music.

today her aggression in the "i'm so bored with cowards, who say they want, then they can't handle" bit made me curious enough to look up the lyrics and it was worth the trouble. cracked me up and made relating to her words just a bit too easy... heh.

björk - 5 years
you think you're denying me of something
well i've got plenty
you're the one who's missing out
but you won't notice
'til after five years
if you'll live that long
you'll wake up
all loveless

i dare you
to take me on
i dare you
to show me your palms

i'm so bored with 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
