It’s Oh So Quiet Lyrics
[Intro]
Shhhh, shhhh
[Verse 1]
It's oh, so quiet
Shhhh, shhhh
It's oh, so still
Shhhh, shhhh
You're all alone
Shhhh, shhhh
And so peaceful until
[Chorus 1]
You fall in love
Zing, boom
The sky up above
Zing, boom
Is caving in
Wow, bam
[Bridge 1]
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh, you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
[Verse 2]
Till it's over, and then
Shhhh, shhhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhhh, shhhh
But soon again
Shhhh, shhhh
Starts another big riot
[Chorus 2]
You blow a fuse
Zing, boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing, boom
So what's the use
Wow, bam
Of falling in love?
[Verse 3]
It's oh, so quiet
It's oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until
[Chorus 3]
You ring the bell
Bim bam
You shout and you yell
Hi ho-ho
You broke the spell
[Bridge 2]
Gee, this is swell, you almost have a fit
This guy is “gorge” and I got hit
There's no mistake, this is it!
[Verse 4]
Till it's over, and then
It's nice and quiet
Shhhh, shhhh
But soon again
Shhhh, shhhh
Starts another big riot
[Chorus 2]
You blow a fuse
Zing, boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing, boom
So what's the use
Wow, bam
Of falling in love?
[Outro]
The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow, blow, blow, blow, blow your fuse
Aaaaah!
When you fall in love
Ssshhhhhh
It’s Oh So Quiet Q&A

Who produced It’s Oh So Quiet's ?
It’s Oh So Quiet was produced by Björk & Nellee Hooper.
When did Björk release It’s Oh So Quiet?
Björk released It’s Oh So Quiet on Mon Nov 13 1995.
What did Björk say about "It's Oh So Quiet"?
In a way it was against my principles to do an old cover-version because i’m so anti retro. But it has that story, this narrative : there’s a beginning and something happens in the middle and the ending is different.
So many pop songs, especially in English lyrics, are just 900 different ways of say...
Why did Björk decide to cover this song?
When my band was touring around USA for the first record, we found this tape in a truck stop, which was called Divas, with all these American divas singing songs. (…) And this song became like the anthem of the tour, we’d always put it on before we go on stage to get excited.
