possibly maybe

this is one of my favourite Bjork video-song combinations. they just compliment each other so well its almost painful. since they follow the lyrics so entirely the fast crashing juxtapositions are almost to much to take visually . one scene black-lit with a neon haze flashing directly to scene painted with sultry lilacs lined with vintage music players. but they work together beautifully and awkwardly, opposites melding together. i'm going to share this video, but first i'll post the lyrics. Bjork is from iceland and often hard to understand so here ya go:

Your flirt finds me out
Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope
Possibly maybe possibly maybe
possibly maybe
As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes
Sometimes
Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love
Uncertainty excites me
babe
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you'll join a cult
Probably maybe possibly love
Probably maybe possibly love, possibly
Mon petit vulcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm admiring your lava
I keep calm
Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love
Electric shocks?
I love them!
With you --> dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is it?
Possibly maybe probably love, possibly
Possibly maybe probably love, possibly
How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned
How can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
Leave me alone
Possibly maybe possibly maybe
Possibly maybe
