Lyrics

Nail

Einar

Walk through here

Walk through here

Walk

Björk

When I've been just by myself

I start thinking too much

Unhealthy things start to happen

Like gastric disorders

Oh, oh oh

Einar

Oh no...

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Oh yes...

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Oh no...

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Ohh...

I just go out walking

With my favourite piece of wood

With a 4 inch nail driven through it

Björk

Walking! I'm coming!

When I am just by myself

I think too much

I start polishing my behaviour

Without any mercy

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Oh no...

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Oh yes...

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Oh no...

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Somehow all the people

Don't seem to like me

I don't know why

I just met them

Björk

Can't you see?

Einar

Aaaah!

Björk

When I've been just by myself

I start thinking too much

I know I'm not talkative

What!

I've become dry?!

An emotional biscuit?!

That's nonsense!

Not at all!

Sir, this nail of yours is rusty

It's evil!

I can't deal with it!

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Sorry!

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Sorry!

Björk

Oh-oh-oh!

Einar

Sorry!
