Human Behaviour (Björk cover) Lyrics

If you ever get close to a human
And human behavior
Be ready to, ready to get confused
And me and my hair

There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behavior
And yet so, yet so irresistible
And me and my hair

And there is no map
In society

They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
And human behavior
Then all of a sudden turn happy
And me and my hair

But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
And me and my hair

Hey, yah
And there is no map
In society

Human behavior
Human behavior
Human behavior
Human behavior

And there is no map
And a compass wouldn't help at all
Shine in society

Human behavior
Human behavior
Human behavior
Human behavior

Human behavior
Human behavior
Human behavior
Human behavior

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I transcribed this by ear, but I think some of the lines are fishy ("Inside an tea" and "Me and my hair" being particularly dubious)

I did, but Colin Meloy added a few lines, those are the ones I couldn't quite make out, but this is what I hear.

I'm pretty sure those aren't added lines, he's just imitating the nonsense lines that Bjork sings. Nobody bothers transcribing them in the Bjork lyrics because they're not actual words. She throws em into a lot of her songs.

"Inside a tea" is almost certainly "Anxiety...".

This song reminds me of Dr. Who looking at human society. :) "They're so WEIRD... but so FASCINATING!"
