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 .

Frou-frou Foxes In Midsummer Fires Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
I buckle and rosed
As God and the rest(wrist)
How mere riches be
A war or we lose
Close into symbols
A fly drinks the ignitions(indications)
They turn infants breath my
Milk and wrap to her baby
In day
And night to come
(x2)
Their little hands
Smooth all things
Ad nauseum
Singed by it, pulled around of my blazening
(pulled round)
Eyes on the usually science of cherry-colored
(trousers)
Limelight not the music its plain as as can be so

All of the time I improvise by making sure

Its to wait for you

Pulled rounder (x3)

Pulled round
Trousers
Tighter
Tighter
Their fan I tickle
From serpents to dragons
Id immerse you in flame
Your milk and your passion
Lead weight for his from his old turn
The young, I was eagerest
On using the stairs i
How nested to find you
I buckle and rosed
As God and the rest(wrist)
How mere riches be
A war all we lose
Close into symbols
A fly drinks the ignitions
They turn infants breath my
Milk and wrap to her baby
In day
And night to come
Their little hands
Smooth all things
Ad nauseum
Things old
And young
Very young
Rise here comes our reason
New skies are a young escape to find you
Singed by it, pulled around of my blazening
(pulled round)
Eyes on the usually science of cherry-coloursed

Limelight not the music, its plain as as can be so

All of the time I improvise by making sure
