Isobel

There’s an epic continuity between ’Human Behaviour’, ’Isobel’ and ’Bachelorette’. I’m not sure if it’s a joke or serious - probably a bit of both. It’s basically a character I invented called Isobel.

In ’Human Behaviour’, she’s a little girl. In ’Isobel’, she moves to the big city and big lights. She functions with her intuition wich isn’t very good in cities and crashes with a lot of ill-behaved people. So she goes back and trains a lot of moths and sends them back, as messengers of intuition, into the city to people who are not working with their intuition. In ’Bachelorette’ she takes over and trees grow over the city. It’s part autobiography part storytelling.

There’s a side to me that’s really casual and that’s in them. There’s a side to me that’s very dramatic and very romantic and there’s a side to me that’s pretty hardcore. I guess the line of songs were meant to be like an epic, 19th Century novel but at the

Isobel

in a forest pitch-dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flame
like me, like me

my name isobel, married to myself
my love isobel, living by herself

in a heart full of dust
lives a creature called lust
it surprises and scares
like me, like me

my name isobel, married to myself
my love isobel, living by herself

when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana na nana, nana na nana

in a tower of steel
nature forges a deal
to raise wonderful hell
like me, like me

my name isobel, married to myself
my love isobel, living by herself

when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana na nana, nana na nana
nana na nana, nana na nana
