One of the most innovative post-punkbands of the 1980s, Cocteau Twinsbuilt a sound based on woozy atmospherics and singer Elizabeth Fraser's utterly unmatchable vocals, most of which featured lyrics of made-up words, words plucked at random from the dictionary, and her native gaelic, which varied strongly in pitch in minimal times, drawing comparison with acclaimed singer Maria Callas. Forming in 1980, their first release was Garlandsin 1982 on 4AD Records, which was received well. Founding member Will Heggie left the group in 1983, prior to the release of their second full-length, Head Over Heels, which was also received well. In 1983, the two remaining members, Fraser and Robin Guthrie, were part of the first album recorded by This Mortal Coil, a supergroup put together by , head of 4AD Records. The pair had a hit with a cover of Tim Buckley's .

Evangeline Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
Sorrow for letting someone else define you
Know who you are at every age
What impression am I making?
I see me as other people see me
There is no going back
I cant stop feeling now
I am not the same, Im growing up again
I am not the same
Im growing up again
Theres no going back I cant stop feeling now
I had to fantasize
I was a princess, mum and dad were queen and king
I ought to have what feeling?
I see me as other people see me
There is no going back
I cant stop feeling now
I am not the same, Im growing up again
I am not the same
Im growing up again
Theres no going back I cant stop feeling now
Feeling now
There is no going back, and
I cant stop feeling now
I am not the same, Im growing up again
I am not the same
Im growing up again
Theres no going back I cant stop feeling now
I had to fantasize
Just to survive
I was a famous artist
Everybody took me seriously
Even those who did
Never understood me
I had to fantasize
Just to survive
