A group whose distinctly ethereal and gossamer sound virtually defined the enigmatic image of the record label 4AD, the Cocteau Twins were founded in Grangemouth, Scotland, in 1979. Taking their name from an obscure song from fellow Scots Simple Minds, the Cocteaus were originally formed by guitarist Robin Guthrie and bassist Will Heggie and later rounded out by Guthrie's girlfriend Elizabeth Fraser, an utterly unique performer whose swooping, operatic vocals relied less on any recognizable language than on the subjective sounds and textures of verbalized emotions. In 1982, the trio signed to 4AD, the arty British label then best known as the home of the Birthday Party, whose members helped the Cocteaus win a contract. The group debuted with Garlands, which offered an embryonic taste of their rapidly developing, atmospheric sound, crafted around Guthrie's creative use of distorted guitars, tape loops, and echo boxes and anchored in Heggie's rhythmic bass as well as an omnipresent Roland 808 drum machine. Shortly after the release of the Peppermint Pig EP, Heggie left the group, and Guthrie and Fraser cut 1983's Head Over Heels as a duo; nonetheless, the album largely perfected the Cocteaus' gauzy formula, and established the foundation from which the group would continue to work for the duration of its career. In late 1983, ex-Drowning Craze bassist Simon Raymonde joined the band to record the EP The Spangle Maker; as time wore on, Raymonde became an increasingly essential component of the Cocteau Twins, gradually assuming an active role as a writer, arranger, and producer. With their lineup firmly solidified, they issued The Spangle Maker, followed by the LP Treasure, their most mature and consistent work yet. A burst of creativity followed, as the Twins issued three separate EPs — Aikea-Guinea, Tiny Dynamine, and Echoes in a Shallow Bay — in 1985, trailed a year later by the acoustic Victorialand album, the Love's Easy Tears EP and The Moon and the Melodies, a collaborative effort with minimalist composer Harold Budd. With 1988's sophisticated Blue Bell Knoll, the trio signed an international contract with Capitol Records which greatly elevated their commercial visibility. After 1990's Heaven or Las Vegas, the Cocteaus severed their long-standing relationship with 4AD; notably, the album also found Fraser's vocals offering the occasional comprehensible turn of phrase, a trend continued on 1993's Four-Calendar Cafe. In 1995, they explored a pair of differing musical approaches on simultaneously released EPs: while Twinlights offered subtle acoustic sounds, Otherness tackled ambient grooves, remixed by Seefeel's Mark Clifford. 1996's Milk & Kisses LP, on the other hand, marked a return to the band's archetypal style. The Cocteau Twins quietly disbanded while working on an uncompleted follow-up; the posthumous BBC Sessions appeared in 1999.

Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying, 'Catch me if you can!' He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic stop He only paused a moment when he heard them holler 'Stop!' Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye saying, 'Don't you cry I'll be back again, someday.' Frosty the snowman was as live as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said 'Let's run and have some fun, now Before I melt away.'

Song to the Siren [by Tim Buckley] Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang, 'Sail to me, sail to me, let me enfold you. Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you.' Did I dream, you dreamt about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing, 'Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow.' Well, I'm as puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide: Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing, 'Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you: Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.'

Sometimes it rains inside my head And the words run dry Now walls of breathing hands Are reaching up to touch my thigh No they don't have to take you away No they don't have to take you away No they don't have to take you away No they don't have to take you away Sometimes it's bright inside my head Except at the back of my eyes And hands of breathing walls Are reaching up No they don't have to take you away No they don't have to take you away No they don't have to take you away No they don't have to take you away (no no no no) Don't have to take you away (backs breaking from the way) *** A great thanx to Rafet For this one ***
Winter Wonderland Sleigh bells ring Are you listening In the lane Snow is glistening A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is a new bird He sings all a song As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say 'Are ya married?' We'll say 'No, man, But you can do the job when you're in town.' Later on, we'll conspire As we dream by the fire Your face won't have reigns The place that we made Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman Until the other children knock him down When it snows, ain't it thrillin' While your nose gets a chillin' We'll frollick and play In the eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland (x4)
