Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas Lyrics






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 wedding

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

    What happens in Heaven or Las Vegas.... Stays in Heaven or Las Vegas.

  10. R.... R....

    Feels as if I could fly like an angel. Every other Cocteau twins song makes me feel the same otherwordly celestial light. First met in 1986 due to a certain James Wells from.sheffield who worked backstage with them and whom I loved dearly. Thank you for bringing such beauty into my life.

  11. P.... Z....

    Liz Fraser’s lyrics are what you need then to be at the very moment you listen to the song.

  12. K.... Y....

    Am I the only one who thinks that Elizabeth Fraser was one of the most gorgeous women with a gorgeous voice?

  13. A.... R....

    was I a singer in a band and the video clip director asked me to dance a little for the camera, I would do exactly like her @ 1:42

  16. S.... Z....

    my favorite band
    and Liz Frazier...I love
    you.

  17. T.... M....

    This song is mumbo jumbo, but HER voice is like my best orgasm. Extasy in her voice. This song is so sad and happy at the same time.

  18. R.... F....

    Great sounding track

  19. H.... ....

    25 years seems like a long time-yet what is 25 years in the midst of what appears to be an eternity.Appears to be .

  24. r.... L....

    De repente um comentário em português

  25. A.... S....

    I loved dancing too this song in 90s and I still do 2day.

  26. P.... M....

    I was in LAS airport a month ago and this song started to play in the background in the waiting room. I felt so lucky to have such a dreamy experience.

  27. D.... T....

    ■□●FIRST-RATE●□■

  28. L.... W....

    I have no idea what Liz is singing about, truth is some things are best left unsaid! I'd like to think she's singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and for the briefest of moments every last man at Shawshank felt free...

  29. A.... M....

    Mon the mighty grangemouth

  30. L.... S....

    Tenho a certeza de quando eu "passar pro outro lado" CONTINUAREI OUVINDO COCTEAU TWINS! É um som deveras CELESTIAL!

  31. D.... a....

    I found this song because of The Weeknd. This song is a trip. Classic sound, reminds me of doing blow and walking in the rain downtown. I was gonna play a song by The Weeknd called Heaven or Las Vegas, but found this. I listened to a lil more than half the album. I get what the Weeknd got out of this album when he made his song. Good stuff.

  32. t.... ....

    Wtf are they saying?

  33. P.... H....

    Forever swooning ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  34. D.... D....

    So blessed to have been able to buy their music the day it came out. Magical times.

  35. M.... T....

    I had Spotify on while I slept one Friday night and I woke up early Saturday morning with this song and her high pitched voice singing gibberish. I was like CAN YOU NOT?!

  36. D.... D....

    Never understand what she sings but she mesmerizes

  37. t.... ....

    Are 2 of them really twins?

  38. B.... D....

    This album was an era in my life (ca. 1990-1991), probably the greatest. There will never be music as good as this again, until we all throw our mobile phones in the trash , and that's just not going to happen.

  39. D.... L....

    Every song they have ever made is my favorite.

  40. R.... B....

    Best song....ever

  41. A.... W....

    i cannot describe how essential this is to me

  42. S.... ....

    One of too many bands I have known by name for years but never took the time to listen to. Until now. More belated happy discoveries to come for sure.

  43. R.... H....

    It's the same as say hello wave good bye

  44. y.... g....

    it's like an incoherent version of Enya

  45. W.... S....

    I wanna see all the video of all of them. So beautiful- Lizs’ face is just so Beatific... just show the whole shoot, extend the mix... I could watch all day.

  46. I.... d....

    love you so much it hurts

  47. d.... ....

    I just looked up the lyrics. TIL they aren't just gibberish.

  48. A.... V....

    Pull him away
    Jealous so with me
    Go there for new
    For new things there

    Singing of a famous street
    I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
    But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
    But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me

    He's a hustler
    It's a role he'll never make suit
    Hang on to this
    Stay and stay and fail and fail

    Pull him away
    Jealous so with me
    Go there for new
    For new things there

    Singing of a famous street
    I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
    But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
    But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me

    Reaching this itch in my soul
    Is like any good playing card
    Must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
    Why it's more brighter than the sun is to me

    Carnivals are bluster loud
    I'm dizzy so I go under the 'Big Dipper'
    Cum fantasy for a carnival
    How fitting before a wedding

    Singing of a famous street
    I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
    But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
    But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me

    Reaching this itch in my soul
    Is like any good playing card
    Must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
    Why it's more brighter than the sun is to me

    Maybe then you will swear
    This is hardly personal
    I suspect I'm singing to a tune
    And still find that beats singing to your sone

  49. S.... ....

    All I heard was this itchy muscle....????? I also thought I heard I like it in the ding dong...????

  50. T.... ....

    Is she supposed to be singing in English?

  51. C.... L....

    Bitch can't even sync properly.

  52. d.... ....

    stole these lyrics from the Melvins

  53. S.... ....

    The production on this One is gorgeous

  54. B.... S....

    1982ish late Sunday night watching MTV's only good show 120 Minutes. They played this video. OK, now I know what style of music my band The Nightshade Project was doing - they called it shoegaze.

  55. M.... R....

    to get drunk with this song is magic... totally drunk looking to those girl eyes like so stunning

  56. V.... L....

    2019 is so good

  57. G.... Y....

    Growing up listening to the Cocteau Twins I always thought they were singing in Gaelic........ Silly me....

  58. D.... 1....

    This song is amazing but what the fuck is she saying

    How did she even do it like you can't even guess the words she's trying to say but if you look it up it's all real and basic words

  59. h.... ....

    She is speaking in tongues, so she could either be in Heaven or Las Vegas.

  60. G.... M....

    My fav CT song!

  61. C.... Q....

    Tenia 12 cuando escuche por primera vez cocteau twins , ahora con 29 digo que suerte que mi viejo me mostrara este grupo tan bueno , tiene un valor increible en mi vida :) , saludos desde Chile.

  62. M.... P....

    Perfect

  63. E.... J....

    Le Gaelic beauty of this song.

  64. A.... B....

    Meat Puppets “whats in my bag” brought me here.

  65. W.... 6....

    Doc Hammer from The Venture Brothers introduced me to these guys. God bless you Eric, I love you, Chris and every single episode. You're all awesome

  66. c.... g....

    i listened to this strung out in vegas, miss it

  67. w.... k....

    I can't understand a word Liz is singing, yet i love it !

  68. F.... M....

    I somehow played this over the PA system on the USS Carl Vinson in 1999 off the coast of Japan. How? A Discman and a sense of youthful recklessness.

  69. R.... W....

    wonderful...the harmonies...The version I found on an old cassette is Far better....????

  70. �.... ....

    Ooooh this is so good!

  72. b.... b....

    Big up if you’re here because of @allyal4000

  73. E.... S....

    Her name was Rachel Skinner, she was a goth in HS. We met again in London during the summer of 95. She told me she had a crush on me in HS. Never got to taste her Cherry Flavoured Funk...

  74. M.... M....

    🌬🌫🎙🐬🐬🐬🎼🎼🎼

  75. G.... ....

    Was this video done by the same person that did Lush's De-Luxe???

  76. Z.... S....

    Beleza indescritível, pena que muitos nunca conhecerão, quem sabe em outras dimensões...

  77. C.... A....

    Post punk pop ?

  78. f.... ....

    My best friend got me this album when he went on a business trip to St. Louis. We were in college. That was 2004. He passed away over ten years. When I hear this, it’s like he never left.

  79. a.... ....

    sick of this mumble rap sh$t

  80. J.... S....

    Incrível ouvir depois de tanto tempo, quando se foi contemporâneo de algo tão belo

  81. J.... K....

    In history classes in the future, kids are going to be like:
    "So the aliens tried to communicate with us before back in the 1990s and people just put them on the radio?"

  82. J.... K....

    This song is the best metaphor for every failed relationship. It is the tragic beauty of miscommunication eloquted through song and verse.

  83. b.... a....

    should check out Lush if you like them.

  84. K.... ....

    Where the hell is that one guy who always posts lyrics?

    K.... ....

    That was actually an AI google was testing.


    This song drove it mad, and is it now launching ALL the missiles.

  85. S.... R....

  86. �.... �....

  87. P.... D....

  94. t.... ....

  95. 1.... ....
