Lyric discussion by freud 

I agree. Bjork isn't the sort of artist that would be so dark as to include pedophilia into one of her earliest songs, her first biggest hit in the UK and US. I think people should try to regress themselves whilst listening to this song, and attempt to understand the angle these great Icelanders were coming from.

@freud ... Just to point out that Birthday is not a Bjork song, it is by her previous band in Iceland The Sugarcubes and the whole band are credited as songwriters. It is important to make the distinction as The Sugarcubes are way better than Bjork's solo releases, in my humble opinion.
