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 Our Angelhood Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
Hes gonna chalk you out
In his angelhood
Hes got the love, let- let us
Like he said he would, like he said he would
Hes gonna chalk you out
In his angelhood
Please stand alone and let us
Like he said he would, like he said he would
Like he said he would
Like he said he would (5x)
Like he said, the angelfish
In our angelhood
Now our hearts on the edge
Like you said they would, like you said they would
Were truly angelfish
In our angelhood
Now our hearts on the edge
Like you said they would, like you said they would
Like you said they would
In our angelhood (3x)
Judging you, angelhood, judging you
In our angelhood (3x)
Judging you, angelhood, trust in him
In our angelhood (3x)
Judging you, angelhood, judging him
In our angelhood (3x)
