Cover art for Birthday lyrics by Sugarcubes, The

bjork has said that she fantasised about being touched at 5, this is very freudian, probably fantasising about her stepdad, she added it never happened, but she had to get it out of her head, and the only way was this song. To me it confirms Freuds statement that there is an infantile sexuality in infants, that is both naive and harmless, but narcissists predators can take advantage of this. The fact she mentions that adults do strange crap like smoke cigars distances the infant from the bizarre adult world, and puts her back on track
