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 .

Pitch The Baby Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
Here, too, have to have been to care for ya
Only no-one to love missed his friend
Pitch the baby should be their murmur
Slip me home as we seal us in
You and that land which one dresh(? ) are leaving
Hold me onto a mess a plenty
Me and that land should grow, end to a hard part
Meant a christmas thats me and a friend
I only want to love you
I only want to love you
(x2)
Here, too, have to have been to care for me
I only want to love you
(x2)
Im heart, and in space the plane
On fill our hearts ascension(inside you)
Its heft driven since the urge
To sell the place isnt very, very, very big
(x2)
Im heart, and in space the plane
On fill our hearts ascension
(I only want to love you)
Its heft driven since the urge
To sell the place isnt very, very, very big
(x2)
