B i o g r a p h y
(by John Bush)

Being a quirky co-ed nine-piece from Reykjavik, Iceland, Gus Gus was almost bound to inspire comparisons to the Sugarcubes, though the onset of ten years caused the group to inherit the influences of electronic fuzz and trip-hop rhythms rather than the bout of post-punk lunacy which inspired the Sugarcubes during the late '80s. Begun as a cinema concern in early 1995 by filmmakers Stefán Árni and Siggi Kjartansson, the group was gradually expanded to include musicians such as DJ Herb Legowitz and programmer Biggi Thórarinsson as well as singer/songwriters Daníel Ágúst, Hafdís Huld and Magnús Jónsson (former actors all), a cinematographer (Steph) and a producer (Baldur Stefánsson). The band's decidedly indie sensibilities led to their signing by 4AD after a four-part series of dance mix EPs during 1996. Among a handful of groups in the late '90s with access to both close-knit dance circles as well as the notoriously uptight indie community, the group gained support from LFO (with Mark Bell's remix of "Believe"), and one of London's most celebrated DJ stores, Fat Cat Records, while playing their first date in England. Given a combined US/UK release due to 4AD's agreement with Warner Bros., their debut album Polydistortion hit the stores in April 1997. This is Normal followed in 1999, and one year later the anthology release Gus Gus vs. T- World appeared.

Gun

You’ve got to find yourself a place to stay anyway
'Cause I ain’t stayin' around anymore, no way
Now you’d better leave
Cause I I’m gonna find
Myself another

Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day

You got to find another piece of wax anyway
'Cause I think it’s over now it melted down
Just the other day

Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day
Take that gun blow your mind take that gun

Believe

I'm no Jesus but I'm close to him,
we talk all the while.
I'm no Jesus but he comforts me,
we walk side by side.

On the water we walk religiously.
On the water we talk seriously.

The pool is dirty but I'm feeling clean,
love is the drug.
I need a rush and then he comes to me,
he gives me a hug.

Fill my pockets with stones but I can't sink.
Help me if you believe.

[Ain't no Jesus around here anymore,
deserted the game.
How come he didn't know that love was a whore?
Hope to see him again.

Fill my pockets with stones but I can't sink.
Help me if you believe.]

Polyesterday

I am the paper
above the skyscraper.
They tried to rape her,
she couldn't reach higher.

I am the paper
above the skyscraper.
They tried to rape her,
she couldn't reach higher.

Polly yesterday,
found another way.
Polyesterday,
synthetic one way or the other.

In public, public,
they said she was sick
in Buick, Buick.
Driving naked for an hour.
Stark naked!

Polly yesterday,
found another way.
Polly said today
she'd find another way,
tomorrow.

Her people didn't know,
her family didn't know.

Barry

Do you remember when we had all
When we floated on waves of water
We were something something dark and slick
I like your style ah man we move together
Ah ha we were dancing through doorways and motels
Big hot summer day, it was ? july ?
Streets of angels streets of freedom
But you probably may know why
Why
Do you remember the singing the dancing
The curly waves, the lovely jokes you said.
Neither waiting at the sound of desire
Last tuck you always say makes you a man
Aw Barry you should have danced with me all night long
Yah all night long
'Cause you got so much to give
There were times when I had to know
You had so much to give
You should have danced with me danced with me
‘Cause you had so much to give
Had to know

Cold Breath '79

Walking in circles around me,
watching my breath freeze.
Walking so slowly around me,
watching my breath freeze.

The smoke is white and it's cold,
and it snows on my face.
The sky is frozen,
without a motion, we kill them.

Tell me how much you can hate,
who can we humiliate?
You know it's true that we have
all got the poison.

I wash the blood off my hands,
after you leave me.
I wash the blood off my feet,
after you leave me.

Your chest, your breast
has melted my face.
The smile is frozen,
without a motion, we kill them.

Tell me how much you can hate,
who can we humiliate?
You know it's true that...

Why ?

Tomorrow is just another day
When I let the sunshine meet my conscience
You told me stories, gave me new ideas
Pretend only you, you know the answers

I wait longing for you baby
Hmm-mmm-mmm
There's no one around me
Wanting me
'Cause you know, and I know
Enough to understand
I'm a warm waiting idol
Above

Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now

Are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last
Tell me, tell me now

Tell me why

Yet another day is waiting
Now, love don't mean nothing
'Cause I'm alive
Hear me out!
Hear me out!
I'm calling, strolling
With an airplane ticket
But nowhere to go
Nowhere to go...

Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now

Are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last
Tell me, tell me now

Tell me now

Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now

Are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last
Tell me, tell me now
Tell me, tell me now
Tell me, tell me now

Tell me why

Remembrance

When I feel alone, inside, away from love.
When you don't wanna know, I give like you give to me.
Wherever you will stay, someday, hiding, afraid.
Then I'll understand, I don't love you anymore.

How can this be?
How can this be so real?

Oversized clouds embrace me, thrills of sorrow...

How can this be?
How can this be so real?

Lay me by your side.
Lay me where you need.
And I'll be there, shining on you.

With nothing to concieve, up there, love to truth.
Fearful winds will change and rise, and smoke me up away.
Whenever live is cunt (Suck it, Lick it) and blue,
I remember you.

Is Jesus your pal ?

Is Jesus your pal?
Do you call out his name,
when your concience is shivering?

Do you need someone too,
just like those people who
find peace in someone's promises?
You sure don't need my promises...

So come and sit on my box,
enjoy the view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.

If you open your eyes,
take a look at this mess,
could you fake your reflection, child?

If you reach out for more,
you'll find nothing but sorrow.
'Cause knowledge is hollow.
And pride is hard to swallow.

So come and sit on my box,
take a view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.

I guess I must have messed it up
I guess I must have messed it up
I guess I must have messed it up
When I gave you the ladyshave

Your heart's a pumping bass
And I like that
My heart is missing pace
And I like that

I guess I must have messed it up
I guess I must have messed it up
I guess I must have messed it up
When I gave you the ladyshave

A lay a lay a lay a ladyshave
I can see now
That to do to do to do the ladyshave
Needs a know-how

I guess I must have messed it up
I guess I must have messed it up
I guess I must have messed it up
When I gave you the ladyshave

I feel my heart slamming
Against my ribs
The smell of your body
And the touch of your lips
You are beyond all imagination
You are beyond all imagination

Gee, I love you so much I can look and I
Can touch
I can touch
My teenage sensation

Your skin must be from another world
My limbs are numbed with your
Pleasuredome
For the first time
A revelation
Beyond all imagination

Gee, I love you so much
I can look and I can touch
I can touch
My teenage sensation

And I think maybe it's wrong
How young is too young
How young is too young
My teenage sensation ?

I am in love with god
I am in love with stars
I am in love with something
Coming close from far

You are in love with god
You are in love with stars
You are in love with something
That will tell you who you are

Love god
Love god and affection
You know excactly what it means
Still you are only in your teens

You are spending your time
Trying to keep me sterilized
Somehow my needs
Are your consideration
Hanging from your wrist
Dangling on the edge

What is the meaning of life
If my dopey style is called yesterday?
I will meet you with my answers
Forget your styling
Me and my girl
Are keeping each other satisfied

You head for the sky
Flying to see the potentials
I don't care if the scene is boiling
Your code will change
We are out of range
Keeping each other satisfied

I feel light while the bubbles
Fly through the park
Up to the sky deadquiet
We are sinking into each other
We exceed our headroom
No need for acting clever

Bambi fly
Today is living
We are able to continue
Because the world
It is still breathing
It is good to be here with you

My heart is where your mind is
When day leaves
It leaves us high and quiet
Inspired by each other

Bambi fly
Today is living
We are able to continue
Because the world
It is still breathing
It is good to be here with you

Let me off your psychic cloud
'Cause everytime I go around
I sink deeper into your unconscious mind
And your warm heart-muscle

Let me off your mental cloud
'Cause everytime I go around
I keep losing sense of what goes on behind
In subconscious real life

Let me off your pensive cloud
'Cause everytime I go around
I keep drifting along where my mind is
Inside
I keep drifting along where my mind is
Inside

If the pieces will not disappear
With the water
With my tears
Will you make me new
Will you make me new?

Will you make me new
Will you make me new
Will you make me new
Will you make me new?

Ear drum pump inside my head
I fall down as if I'm dead
Acid milk is on its way
In my stomach through my veins

Acid milk on every day
Adrenalin is running dry
I am on the milky way
Floating into this turbulant sky

Ear drum pump inside my head
I fall down as if I'm dead
I am on the milky way
Floating into this turbulant sky

I am wired
I am tired
Of being someone that i am not
Tired of showing
Tired of going along with all my lies

I wish that i was so strong
And i could tell you
That all this time i have been wrong
Been the wrongest girl in the world
Been the wrongest girl in the world

I have kept my face straight
And now it is too late
For bursting out into a song

I have been distant
Why would you listen
To someone who's been so far for so long?

I wish i dared to touch your face
And tell you what is behind my smile
I have been wrong
Been the wrongest girl in the world
Been the wrongest girl in the world

You change the tides
In the sea to me
You make the moon
Unnecessary to me
Unneccessary
Unneccesary
Unneccesary
Unneccesary
Unneccesary
To me, to me
Unneccesary

I still have last night in my body
I wish you were with me
David
(I am thinking of you)

Desire

Are you neglecting your primal desires
When you stay home and meet no people
Are you affecting your vital desires
When you don't move along with people

People, people
Desire

Are you reflecting the greatest desires
When you go out to meet people

People, people
Desire

Are you neglecting your primal desires
When you stay home and meet no people
Are you affecting your vital desires
When you don't move along with people

People, people
Desire
(Desire, desire)
People, people
Desirous people

I'm gonna dance
Dance you
Gonna dance
I'm gonna dance
Dance you down
Dance you down
(repeat)

Call Of The Wild

Summer is over baby
But I still feel the heat
Warm in my body
Warm in my soul
And when you're lying next to me baby
Smiling so sweet
Some things they shine brighter
And drive them all cheap (???)
The call of the wild
Is driving me crazy
Be with me baby
It won't take that long
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
Our hearts try to synchronize
They groove with the new beat
That keeps me going
When I am alone
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
The call of the wild
Is driving me crazy
Be with me baby
I keep it together
I keep it together
I keep it together
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
(Call of the wild)
Our hearts try to synchronize
They groove with the new beat
That keeps me going when I am alone
The call of the wild
The call of the wild
The call of the wild
The call of the wild

Balancing on the passion
Your taste i've tried to fight
Astounded by your fire
Move by your desire
I feel you

The disco is glowing with action
Your moves are mine so divine
Desperate for love making
Work your magic baby

For loving
Need you
Please the men

Look at life the way it used to be
Easily no matter what you see
Though you'll never have the best of everything,
You have the best of me,
When light shines so bright
It blinds your sight
Remember who you are to me

Be sincere you can't hide what you feel though I know that you do
Be sincere you can't hide what you feel

People tend to talk a lot
Your stories may not come back true
Hope you don't forget your roots baby
What moulded you into the way you came to be?

People tend to talk a lot
Your stories may not come back true
Hope you don't forget your roots baby
What moulded you into the way you came to be

Be sincere you can't hide what you feel though I know that you do
Be sincere you can't hide what you feel.

Hope you won't forget your roots baby

Be sincere you can't hide what you feel thought I know that you do
Be sincere you can't hide what you feel

You'll Never Change

Don't promise me nothing if you can't stick to your word
Don't blame me for something that you claim that you have heard
Don't lead me along while you run around in the street
It's a pity and a shame, baby you will never change

Would a woman want a man if he never wants to make romance
What do I need with a man if I only get to see him by chance
These long lonely nights are about to drive me insane
It's a pity and shame, baby you will never change
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You were so nice
I remember when it started
I never thought that
You would ever change
Is it my fault that I'm
Sad and broken-hearted
I wish you'd leave
Before I go insane

You never take me in your arms
You never have nothing that's to say
You walk around looking mean and evil
Each and every day
You even get fighting mad
Whenever I call your name

It's a pity and a shame
Baby, you will never change

Hold You

I have a word I think I have a premonition
I feel I should meet with you
On a secret rendez-vous
We could sit in the sun
I sit outside with my man
And the mountains will grow taller for the sake of violet

Baby do you know what it's like to love somebody
I just want to hold you in my arms again
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I long to hold you in my arms again I got to hold you
What it's like to long for your body

True love I got
Oh I oh oh I
I just wanna hold you
Just got to hold you...

Need in me

I’m prepared for these confrontations
Vulnerability has adopted me
So frustrated by people's impatience
I’m in a daze and its days go by
Here and now, so hard somehow

Your love is a growing need in me
Your love is a growing need in me
If you’re the one I came to be here with

How I doubt my together with this is, more or less alone
Alone, I wanna take you home and show you myself
Can you take it, can we break it
Will we make it or will we mistake it
Don’t you know and then we go
Go slow, slowly but surely
Surely and dully
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
It seems like just one kiss could tell you why
Your love is a growing need in me
If you’re the one I came to be here with
It seems like just one kiss could tell you why
Love is a growing need in me
If you’re the one I came to be here with
Seems like just one kiss could tell you why

I’m prepared for these confrontations
Vulnerability has adopted me
So frustrated by people's impatience
I’m in a daze and its days go by
Here and now, so hard somehow
Your love is a growing in need in me

I’m talking in circles but he sit me out (?)
If you’re the one I came to be here with
How I doubt my together with this is, more or less alone
Alone, alone, alone
I wanna take you home and show you myself
Can you take it, can we break it
Will we make it or will we mistake it
Don’t you know and then we go
Go slow, slowly but surely
Surely and dully

Your love is a growing need in me
If you’re the one I came to be here with
It seems like just one kiss could tell you why

Your love is a growing need in me
If you’re the one I came to be here with
It seems like just one kiss could tell you why…

Moss

Throw me into the soft moss
Take me to the amorphous
Drive me in to the highlands
Let's expand each others mind

High on love
High on love
High on love
High on love

Your green, green eyes have a soft moss
Throw me into sweet oblivion
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
High on love
High on love
High on love
High on love

High on love
High on love
High on love
High on love

Thin Ice

Louder than fear about to hear
My emotions echo in emptiness

A sudden death to what was vibrant
Not innocent but unprepared

When realized
Paralyzed
Impossible to comprehend

I feel like dancing
On the thinnest ice

I feel like dancing
On the thinnest ice

What's left of pride
The sea and the tides
Washed to a sand where never before
A human thought has swam ashore

I feel dancing
On the thinnest ice

I feel like dancing
On the thinnest ice

I feel like dancing
On the thinnest ice
On the thinnest ice
On the thinnest ice

Hateful

I'm feeling hateful
Because you pissed me off
And I want to hurt you
I want to make you suffer

Rewrite my history
Take the air I breathe
I'll hit you where it hurts you
If you force me to my knees

Tearing down my future
Living in the past
If you can't tolerate my kind
You can kiss my fucking ass
I'm feeling hateful
Because you think I'm weak
I give it all and you take
You take you take
Take it away from me
You can't take it away from me

I fight fire with fire when
I'm in this state
And if I can't find love I guess I'll hate

I fight fire with fire when
I'm in this state
And if I can't find love I guess I'll hate

If I can't find love I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love I guess I'll hate

If I can't find love I'll hate

If I can't find love

Feeling so hateful

I'm feeling I'm feeling
I'm feeling I'm feeling so hateful

I fight fire with fire when
I'm in this state
And if I can't find love I'll guess I hate

I fight fire with fire when
I'm in this state
And if I can't find love I'll guess I hate

If I can't find love, I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love, I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love, I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love, I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love, I guess I'll hate
If I can't find love, I guess I'll hate

If I can't find love

If I can't find love

I can't find love

On the Job

On the job

On the job
On the job
Pushed myself harder til I drop
A little bit better on the job
On the job

24/7

I wanna make you happy
Cause I like you a lot

I know it's kinda tacky
But I like you

But I like you

I like you
I like you
I like you

24/7

Take me baby

Take my baby
Take my baby
Take my baby
Take my on the edge of explosion

Take my baby
Take my baby
Love me baby

Love me now
Love me baby
Love me on our way to a dark star

Take my baby

Come to me baby, come to me
I'm about to

Add this song

Add this sing to your heart
Let it beat in your chest real hard

Add this sing to your head
When you wake up and go out of bed

Add this song to your list
Play it til it no more exist

Through the pain of the snow
Is there nowhere to go
Like I'm stuck in the state
Of no state at all

As I wandered alone in the darkest night
Heard this song at the rave
And it saved my life

Add this song to your heart
Let it beat in your chest real hard

Add this song to your day
Let it be about you and me

Add this song to your life

Be With Me

Listen
I want you

I'm lying in my bed now
And it feels just like a prison cell
I'm trying to get sleep
With my head stuck in a vacuum shell
And I want you to be here
From the bottom of a wishing well
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Be with me now

I'm turning in my bed
And my mind twists like a whirlwind hell
I'm rolling in my bed
Wrapped up in your binding spell

Be with me now

Deep Inside

When you opened my heart I was thrown
Deep into the Milky Way
The adrenaline rush that I got from the crush blew me away
Opened doors, opened wide, deep inside
You rose in a certain way
I could feel how you grew and I knew
You would steal my heart away

Deep inside, deep inside
Why did you just steal my heart and go
Deep inside, deep and tight
My teeth are sore on your front door
I’m dry, I’m dry, I’m dry, I’m dry
Deep inside the Milky Way

Now I’m pushed and I’m pulled
I feel flushed
I’m completely out of place
And the blood that was boiling with lust
Now is frozen in my veins
I am stuck in a rut with the thought
When my life was swept away
How cathartic when my heart exploded
Inside the Milky Way
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Deep inside, deep inside
Why did you just steal my heart and go
Deep inside, deep and tight
My teeth are sore on your front door
I’m dry, I’m dry, I’m dry, I’m dry
Deep inside the Milky Way

Over

We have made our mistakes over
We have gone up and down
Over and over
Once again I have crossed
Double-crossed over
I betrayed our trusts
Knocked it all over
Over, over

And I wonder why
Why we didn't try this time
We didn't even try
Try to make things right
As you wonder why
Why we didn't try
We didn't try this time
We didn't even try
Try to make things right this time over
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
With the wind this will blow
It will blow over
Is the time, time to mend
Over
Maybe we can delve
Deep into ourselves, over
Find the smallest flame
Re-install the game
Over

Within You

You train down to the gutter
So bad it bites reality
Echoing sounds of your lover
You tie down your breath for a while
May take some time, sometime

Find a dime and I shiver
Who cares where you carry your name
Tied down by your lover
Break my heart and leave you maim
That's you, that's you, that's you

(Try on)

You cannot make time go backwards
Or make it run fast forward
It will go on without you
Clear is my mind echoing throughout within you

Lay my heart down easy in your hands
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Found our hearts are made to shiver
So right would you play me again
Shared by one another
The tears in our veins
Make your pause
And I'll deliver my gold, I've sold my gold

Making my heart work harder
So it can beat much faster
It will go on within me
After my time of passing through
Within you

You cannot make time go backwards
Or make it run fast forward
It will go on without you
Clear is my mind echoing throughout within you

Arabian Horse

Disappear into the dust
Lost on your horse
Blown away by your gust
Lost on your horse

Desert land under the sun
Lost on your horse
Like a grain of sand
Lost in your storm
On the crossroads take a left
Lost on your horse

Too bright to even see the sun
More and more sand in my eyes
Too bright to even see the sun
More and more sand in my eyes
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Riding on, getting lost
Lost on your horse
Disappear into the dust
Lost on your horse
Racing on the desert dunes
I chase you like a moon
But on the crossroads take a left
Lost on your horse

Too bright to even see the sun,
More and more sand in my eyes
Too bright to even see the sun
More and more sand in my eyes

Magnified Love

I'm done for
I give up
Surrender my physical mood
You make me walk blindly
Right out of my comfort hood

You stroke me
You strike me
As someone who is in control
You eat me
You feed me
You nourish my hungry soul,
Hungry soul

Oh my, oh my, oh my magnified love
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You push me
You shove me
You move me every minute
You move me
You shove me
You move every cell in my body
In my body

You own me
Physically
Possessing me spiritually

Oh my, oh my, oh my magnified love

Changes Come

Maybe I just want to be alone
Tired of searching for the way back home
Stuck in the state of no state at the deep end of sorrow
Changes come, but I can't follow
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Touched by evil, nothing more to say
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
(Changes come, and I can't follow)

It's so easy to turn you on
But just as quickly then you're gone
Stuck in this state of no fate with sight fixed on tomorrow
Changes come, and you do follow
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Touched by evil, nothing more to say

Bluemug

If the pieces will not disappear,
with the water,
with my tears.

Will you make me new?
Will you make me new, again?
Again?

And if no one holds me down,
it's not a downy ground,
I will jump.
'Cause I know you.
And I know you will want it again.
Again.
Again.
Again.

Will you make me new?
Will you make me new?
Will you make me new?
Will you make me new, again?
Again?

'Cause I love you.
And I know you will want it again.
Again.
Again.

Chocolate

My sweetheart,
my chocolate, mocholate.
I've got the world to hold me up,
'cause I'm under the influence of love, babe.
You know,
last thing I would do in this world is hurt your feelings.
As God is my witness,
I know we'll be together,
and then nothing, nothing will tear us apart, ever.
'Cause you know, baby,
I do love you.
I love you, I love you, I love you...
I love you.

Monument

When the site was found,
we laid the foundation down.
It didn't take long before
they came back tumbling down.
Don't build at night.
You need a little light.
How else are you going to see
what it's going to be like!
So we picked up our tools,
and we worked in the morning light.
With the last stone placed,
wasn't it a beautiful site?
But it fel back down,
and scattered all around.
Anything passes,
when you need glasses.

My monument - it fell down.
My monument - it fell down.

Work all my days for this kind of praise.
It fell down.
Work all my days - it fell down.
