Human Behaviour Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready, be ready to get confused
[Gibberish]
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
[Gibberish]
[Refrain]
And there is no map
[Gibberish]
[Verse 2]
They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
Oh, human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
[Gibberish]
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
[Gibberish]
[Refrain]
And there is no map
[Gibberish]
[Chorus]
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour
Human behaviour, human, human
[Refrain]
And there is no map
And a compass wouldn't help at all
[Gibberish]
[Chorus]
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human, human
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
[Outro]
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human

I tend to want to have songs that way that there are sections which are strict always the same lyrics and train your discipline and then have sections which are space and I can do whatever I want. So every time I sing those sections,...
What did Björk say about "Human Behaviour"?
Björk talked about the song in an interview with David Hemingway:
I wrote the melody for ‘Human Behaviour’ as a kid. A lot of the melodies on Debut I wrote as a teenager and put aside because I was in punk bands and they weren’t punk. The lyric is almost like a child’s point of view and the video t...
