MOUTH'S CRADLE
There is yet
another one
that follows me
wherever I go
and supports me
ah, this tooth is warmthlike
this tooth is warmthlike
this tooth is warmthlike
And these teeth
are
a ladder up to his mouth
all these teeth are a ladder
that I walk
that you can walk to
if you want
if you want, up to
the mouth, mouth's cradle
up to the mouth's cradle
He always has a hope for me
always sees me when nothing else
and everyone have left
can care
that ghost is brighter than anyone
and fulfills me with hope
those beams assure me
And you can use
these teeth
as a
ladder up to
mouths cradle
the mouths cradle
and you can follow
these notes I'm singing
up to the mouth's cradle
the mouth's cradle
The simplicity of the ghostlike beast
the purity of what he wants
and where it goes
always love
always loves you
always loves with : infrared love
And you can use
those teeth
as a ladder up to
mouth's cradle
mouth's cradle
you can use
those teeth
follow my voice
tooth by tooth
up to the
mouth's cradle
the mouth's cradle
I need a shelter to build an altar
away from all the Osama's and Bushes
I need a shelter to, to build an altar
away from all the Osama's and Bushes
LYRICS IN THE BOOKLET
there is yet another one
that follows me
where ever I go
and supports me
this tooth is warmth-like
and these teeth are a ladder up to his mouth
these teeth are a ladder that I walk
that you can walk too if you want
if you want up to the mouth
the mouth’s cradle
up to the mouth’s cradle

and everyone have left
that ghost is brighter than anyone
and fulfils me with hope
those beams assure me
and you can use these teeth as a ladder
up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
and you can follow these notes I'm singing
up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
the simplicity of the ghost-like beast
the purity of what it wants and where it goes

infrared love
and you can use these teeth as a ladder
up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
and you can use these teeth follow my voice
tooth by tooth
up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
I need a shelter to build an altar away
from all osamas and bushes

"Obviously the line about Osamas and Bushes was a bad joke. But I guess it's sor
t of partly true, because it insterests me a lot with western civilization, that
someone as passionate as Osama could be such a threat, and it seemed to me at t
imes to be almost passion versus logic. I found it really interesteing that it c
ould be so un-understandable for some people that somebody would do something li
ke that, and how unaware the western civilization were of how annoying they are
sometimes -- I'm obviously not justifying what he did. But after that, it just t
otally took over - it was all about arabs and americans, and if you were pro or
against or whatever. It just seems curious to me, where obviously both were righ
t and wrong. It seems like the whole world has been talking about it for the las
t three years, not only me. All unbelievable people are suddenly interested in p
olitics. And maybe me in the end wanting my music to offer something else, and s
aying I want to look for a shelter with an altar away from the Osamas and Bushes
. And maybe these politicians think that they are 95% of our lives and that we s
hould all just worry about if Bush gets re-elected or not and what's gonna happe
n to the muslims or whatever. And I think it's about 5% important, and 95% is li
ke... children going to school, the latest breakdancer, people starving and peop
le losing their jobs and people telling awful jokes, and all these other stuff,
you know. People in space, and jellyfishes in the ocean having affairs with othe
r jellyfishes. I'm inventing marinal soap operas here, sorry. But there's just a
lot of other stuff, and it just got boring after a while. So maybe this record
is partly an attept to say "wait a minute, there's other stuff out there you kno
w". That's it." (Bjork, XFM 25aug04)
