About

“Birthday” appeared on Icelandic band The Sugarcubes' debut album, Life’s Too Good in 1988.

Björk quoted in Martin Aston’s Björkgraphy:

It’s a story about a love affair between a five year old girl, a secret, and a man who lives next door. I was always changing my mind about what the lyrics should...

Birthday Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers and her mouth
She's five years old
Threads worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pocket
Collects fly wings in a jar
Scrubs horse flies
And pinches them on a line

[Chorus]
Oh!
Oh-ee-oh!
Oh!
Oh!

[Verse 2]
She has one friend, he lives next door
They're listening to the weather
He knows how many freckles she's got
She scratches his beard
She's painting huge books
And glues them together
They saw a big raven
It glided down the sky
She touched it

[Chorus]
Oh!
Oh-ee-oh!
Oh!
Oh!

[Verse 3]
Today is her birthday
They're smoking cigars
He's got a chain of flowers
And sews a bird in her knickers

[Chorus]
Oh!
Oh-ee-oh!
Oh!
Oh!

[Outro]
They're, they're smoking cigars
They lie in the bathtub
A chain of flowers
Dum, dum, dum, dum-a-dum
Dum-dum-dum, dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-a-dum
Dum-dum-dum, dum, dum, dum
