Lyrics
Shh, shh
It’s oh, so quiet, shh, shh
It’s oh, so still, shh, shh
You’re all alone, shh, shh
And so peaceful until
You fall in love, zing boom
The sky up above, zing boom
Is caving in, wow bam!
You’ve never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh, you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
Till it’s over, and then, shh, shh
It’s nice and quiet, shh, shh
But soon again, shh, shh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom
The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what’s the use, wow bam!
Of falling in love?
It’s oh, so quiet
It’s oh, so still
You’re all alone
And so peaceful until
You ring the bell, bim bam
You shout and you yell, hi ho-ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell, you almost have a fit
This guy is “gorge“ and I got hit
There’s no mistake, this is it!
Till it’s over, and then
It’s nice and quiet, shh, shh
But soon again, shh, shh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom
The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what’s the use, wow bam!
Of falling in love?
The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow, blow, blow
Blow, blow your fuse, ahh!
When you fall in love
Shh
History
“It’s Oh So Quiet” features on Björk’s third studio album, Post, and was released as the album’s third single. It is a cover of Betty Hutton’s 1951 song of the same title (which was in turn a cover of the German song “Und jetzt ist es still”) and is Björk’s biggest mainstream hit.
The video’s aesthetic (directed by Spike Jonze) is very reminiscent of musical movies such as West Side Story, or The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (the video is actually based on the latter).
It’s worth noting that five years later, Björk actually starred in such a movie. She had the lead role in Lars Von Trier’s musical drama Dancer In The Dark.
