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 .

Heaven Or Las Vegas Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
Wholl ever win?
Gee, youre just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
Hes a hustler
Its a role, hell never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Wholl ever win?
Gee, youre just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
Thats like any old playing card
It must be why Im thinking of las vegas
Its why its more brighter than the sun is to me
Furthermore, lets blast it off
Im dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
Im empty before our(a? ) wedding
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
Thats like any old playing card
It must be why Im thinking of las vegas
Its why its more brighter than the sun is to me
Maybe there, while you was rail
Ill go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect Im singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon
