For Thistle

He'll know the tune inside out but nothing else seemed quite right today - plus it's the only Icelandic music I've got and I didn't want to let Nick down. As a bonus, here are some other bona fide Sugarcubes classics - from the days when Bjork was genuinely trying to act like a pixie, wearing her hair in bunches and shit.

Sugarcubes - Birthday (probably their best known tune and the one that got them an NME cover)

Sugarcubes - Fucking in Rhythm and Sorrow (silly but infectious)

Sugarcubes - Motorcrash (my favourite - great lyrics)

Sugarcubes - Deus (Icelandic theology)

"They saw a big raven, it glided down the sky, she touched it"

I love it.

Cheers,

But not as good as:

"They're smoking cigars, he's got a chain of flowers, and sows a bird in her knickers"

Indeed - listened to Motorcrash last night. Great lyrics indeed, if most odd.
