It's Oh So Quiet

Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet
Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so still
Shhhh, Shhhh
You're all alone
Shhhh, Shhhh
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
'Til it's over and then

Shhh, Shhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
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

'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
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
When you've fallen in love
Ssshhhhhh...

Björk (It's Oh So Quiet - Album: Post - Anno: 1995)

In realtà questa famosa canzone di Björk è la cover di Blow a Fuse (1951) della cantante, nonché attrice, americana Betty Hutton:

A sua volta la canzone di Betty Hutton è la cover di una canzone tedesca del 1948, Und jetzt ist es still  cantata da Harry (il suo vero nome di battesimo è Horst) Winter, di cui ho trovato una rara registrazione su YouTube:

Secondo me si tratta di una delle canzoni che descrive meglio l'innamoramento e la fase di quiete che lo precede.
