About

This is yet another song from Medúlla about breastfeeding. It conveys the warmth and bond she feels for her baby (Ísadóra at the time) when and thanks to breastfeeding. It also gets political at the end when Björk tackles how this gets her away from the terrible things happening in the world (9/11).

Mouth’s Cradle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There is yet another one
That follows me
Wherever I go
And supports me
All this tooth is warmth-like
This tooth is warmth-like
This tooth is warmth-like

[Chorus 1]
And these teeth are a ladder up to his mouth
All 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

[Verse 2]
He always has a hope for me
Always sees me when nothing else
And everyone have left
That ghost is brighter than anyone
And fulfills me with hope
Those beams assure me

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
Always love, always loves you, always loves you
Infrared love

[Chorus 3]
And you can use those teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
And you can use those teeth, oh, follow my voice
Tooth by tooth
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle

[Outro]
I need a shelter to build an altar away
From all Osamas and Bushes
I need a shelter to build an altar away
From all Osamas and Bushes

What did Björk say about "Mouth's Cradle"?

Obviously the line about Osamas and Bushes was a bad joke. But I guess it’s sort of partly true, because it interests me a lot with Western civilization, that someone as passionate as Osama could be such a threat, and it seemed to me at times to be almost passion versus logic. I found it really inte...
