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 .

I Wear Your Ring Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
You dont feel damned between the sunrise and sunset
Youre damned well panicky, I know the rainy days
Please them or run on the turf
You could be raising money with your momma
You might be sure when youre round and dressed up with kid
Take a toast to that, imbibe, youre alone
Men are so nice
(lays can be)
Roses may fly
Men are so useful
(hes a flirt)
Men are so useful
(reflection beauty)
Men are so nice
He pleases me fine
(reflection beauty)
Men are so useful
(be able to feel)
Dont feel damned between the sunrise and sunset
Youre damned well panicky, I know the rainy days
Please them or run on the turf
(you could be)
You could be raising money with your momma
(you could be)
You might be sure when youre round and dressed up with kid
Take a toast to that, imbibe, youre alone
Men are so nice
(lays can be)
He pleases me fine
Men are so useful
(hes a flirt)
Men are so useful
(reflection beauty)
Men are so nice
He pleases me fine
(reflection beauty)
Men are so useful
Beautiful hands us no way lies a means of love
(men are so nice) [2nd & 3rd repeats only]
On sounds and guard the stone, and bed had a law
(he pleases me fine)
Answers written and I reason
(he pleases me fine)
In the reign of sex, blown more than its pleased to be
(fine, fine (x4))
Hes a beauty affection, oooh
(x3)
