Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam a lens stable eyes and glass
Not get pissed off through my bird lips as good news
Still being cried and laughed at from behind
Down far behind this fabulous, my turn rules
Beetles and eggs and blues and bells and eggs and blues
Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam a lens stable eyes and glass
Not get pissed off through my bird lips as good news
You'll hang the hearts black and dull as the night
We hanged your pass and start being as you in ecstasy
(Still being cried and laughed at before)
Should I be sewn in, hugged, I can by not saying
(Still being cried and laughed at from light to blue)
And should I be hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque
And should I be sung and unbroken by not saying
You mind not saying
He'll hang that heart's black and dull as the night
(Still being cried and laughed at from behind me)
We hanged your pass and star being as you in ecstasy
(Still being cried and laughed at from behind me)
Should I be sung and unbroken by not saying
(Still being cried and laughed at from behind me)
Hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque for key

Pitch The Baby
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 that's 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]
I'm heart, and in space the plane
On fill our hearts' ascension(inside you)
It's heft driven since the urge
To sell the place isn't very, very, very big
[x2]
I'm heart, and in space the plane
On fill our hearts' ascension
(I only want to love you)
It's heft driven since the urge
To sell the place isn't very, very, very big

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

Meant a Christmas that's me and a friend

Iceblink Luck
I'm seemin' to be glad a lot
I'm happy again, come, come in time
This mustn't hurt or harm yourself
Well, me, I give in to your arms
You're the match of Jerico
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like a walnut (blown up?) safe
More like a love that's a bottle of exquisite stuff, yes
You, yourself, and your father
Don't know him, so part in your own ways
You've really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies
You're the match of Jerico
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like a walnut safe
You will seem that being throughout
That same bottle of exquisite stuff
Yes, you are that match of Jerico
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like the walnut safe
You, yourself, and your father
Don't know him, so part in your own ways
You're really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies

Fifty-fifty Clown
[Repeat: x2]
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Oh, and you're a lone shadow
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Smile and face your wife angry
His life don't despise what's in eyes
He skips so as the seasons
To come as a breeze has
Again, ahead
We'll rust, our nose dust
A fine gard with pleased and, oh its true
Hill can't comfort the brain
He must come as he was
Again, ahead
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
Good morning myth to somebody I call in light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Oh, and you're a lone shadow
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Smile and face your wife angry
His life don't despise what's in eyes
He skips so as the seasons
To come as a breeze has
Again, ahead
We'll rust, our nose dust
A fine gard with pleased and, oh its true
Hill can't comfort the brain
He must come as he was
Again, ahead
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light

Good morning myth to somebody I call in light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are

Heaven Or Las Vegas
Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're 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
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
He's a hustler
It's a role, he'll never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're 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
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me
Furthermore, let's blast it off
I'm dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
I'm empty before our(a?) wedding / I'm ready to fall, I'm waiting (?)
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me
Maybe there, while you was rail
I'll go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect I'm singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon
Gee, you're 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
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
He's a hustler
It's a role, he'll never make a suit

Gee, you're just so ephemeral

I WEAR YOUR RING
You don't feel damned
between the sunrise and sunset
You're damned well panicky
I know the rainy days
Please them or run on the turf
You could be raising money

round and dressed up with kid
Take a toast to that, imbibe

Fotzepolitic
My dreams are low
They're sick and must be drossed
They're young girl's dreams
True, some do it and shoot
Like the penny-lit stars
What I was just rude
Like the scary hairs on our singing hooves
Like the scary hairs on our singing hooves
They move
A family fool, but it's you
I can swoon inside me
Then you'll accept my things
A colored star, but I feel strong
Luck when bound lonely to Lars
When I'm empty headed
See'n saw bounce me back to you? Will you?
See'n saw bounce me back to you? Will you?
Oh will you?
My dreams are low
They're sick and must be drossed

Wolf In The Breast
Under my shirt
Have to amass
Sling the tainted words
I'm each arms they fall on
It's my body
Puzzles the trick in me
I lend it out to borrow
It might survive
My baby's cries
Laughing on my bed
I've pretended I knew the way
Especially when
I'll revenge
All I'll need's that day
It's my body
Puzzles the trick in me
I lend it out to borrow
It might survive
My baby's cries
Laughing on my bed
I've pretended I knew the way
Especially when
I'll revenge
All I'll need's that day
I'll feel perpetual

True blue and real

Road River And Rail
He'll be flied away
From those choices that they took
Naked and caught on the Isle de la Cite
Roll of home may be
There's over eleven since she's been
For machine and a feeling I still care
Faulting to mention forms in flight
Fabulous in dream of eve
Flaying on the ground and your infant lives
From out of the bayous
Seen the way is corporeal
The little pants into nowheres
Through Paris breaks soul
From out of the bayous
From must have beige
So we didn't while we seized
Until the fog made me run through that hectic glare
Love won't be forged
And was a fog, was them that cherished
Road, river and rail
"So embarrassed, I'm not sure at all", lies mother's daughter
Truth is she found love
Truth is she found love
Truth is she found love
Road, river and rail
From those choices that they took
Naked and caught on the Isle de la Cite
Roll of home may be
There's over eleven since she's been
For machine and a feeling I still care
Faulting to mention forms in flight
Fabulous in dream of eve
Flaying on the ground and your infant lives

Frou-Frou Foxes In Midsummer Fires

Close into symbols
A fly drinks the ignitions(indications)
They turn infant's breath my
Milk and wrap to her baby

And night to come
And night to come
Their little hands
Smooth all things

Singed by it, pulled around of my blazening

Eyes on the usually science of cherry-colored

Heaven or Las Vegas is the sixth studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. It was released on 17 September 1990 by 4AD. It is the band's second major-label release, following Blue Bell Knoll in 1988.
Heaven or Las Vegas peaked at number seven on the UK Albums Chart and number 99 on the US Billboard 200, becoming the band's most commercially successful release. It eventually sold 235,000 copies by 1996, according to Billboard. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and was voted number 218 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2020, Rolling Stone listed it at No. 245 in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The album was voted 18th of Scotland's 100 Best Rock and Pop Albums in 2003 and was the focus of a BBC Scotland programme, Classic Scottish Albums in 2007. Despite 4AD president Ivo Watts-Russell proclaiming it one of the best-ever releases on his label, he released the group from their contract at the end of 1990 because his relationship with the band had soured.
