Cocteau Twins - Iceblink Luck Lyrics

Im an ex convict who opened my mind and enjoy music that has soul and meaning.
So sad what the kids listen to now.no heart in that stuff

only found this track because caleb followhill lead singer of KOL mentioned them xxx

Sounds like Abba on acid!

I heard she takes her favorite French literature and simply removes the first letter of each word in a passage and that's how she comes up with her own language when she sings.

she's beautiful in this vid

What is she saying? I've been wondering for 30 years, WTF. Sublime beauty though. Perhaps from some angelic dimension. Definitely not from here. Thanks for saving me Babies 💖

❤️❤️this video and song

I analyzed the lyrics...and it makes not one bit of sense lol.

She has the gift of a Golden voice.

I bought this first on 12” and then the album. The Sunday’s ‘Blind’ from the same year seemed to embody the same atmosphere for me. Just wonder full records in the original meaning of the word.

I miss my adolescents!

I don't blame Liz Fraser for not singing her music in public anymore: the beauty of it would be deemed obscene to the ugly world it has become.

I love how her gibberish abstract words make no sense but suggest whatever you need them to. This song (then this album) changed my life back in the day.

Ooo nice

saw them 1990 Los Angeles Holywood Palladium stoned as hell...

HoLV is their WORST Album By FAR...because of shit tracks like this.

fuck you, u know nothing about art, get the fuck out of here

what kind of internet troll are you? ^^

Shame they left 4AD after the album's release

💣😆

this song exudes the springtime for me.... REBIRTH

uwus crush of my youth Elizabeth! sigh, its been 2 long

saw these guys back in the 80's...superb music, although no real idea what were singing about!...managed to create her own language

love...this...music...

One of my favorite bands from the 80's & on. Elizabeth has such an ethereal voice that goes well with her dialect language. Loved their concerts, too. 3:)

Such an incredible album.

Lovely lovely voice.

I got the album on release but that's the first I've realised that she sings "I throw up like a wall of sick" https://youtu.be/L_Tj4bJ0VFw?t=125

This is a good one ☝️

This album was a whole era in my life , 1990 . better days, I want them back. where is my time machine people??

The voice that guides my life and shines on every breath

I think, like Kate Bush, Elizabeth Fraser has no idea how much we love her. I wish she'd do a show so she could see the adulation first hand. Even if it's not a Cocteau reunion that voice is a magical thing

Not a bad song in their entire discography. How many musicians can you say that about?

feeling it again

Flicknockchick glogwollanitratron!!!!

anyone here in 2019????

carl laity yep. Love her.

A jumble of rambling and meaningless phrases and verses, as in all his songs, but the melody is beautiful and exciting.

Beautiful song. Unfortunately, this is when their material began to grow stale, but Heaven or Las Vegas still had some good tracks.

Who downvotes this?

You're the match of Jericho that will burn this whole madhouse down.

You're the match of Cherry Coke.....

Liz is so beautiful. I think she might actually be an Angel. Beautiful and unknowable... Plus, smoking bum..

thank fuck this song has hit a million views....

you definitely want to hide the sharp instruments if this chick is in the same building where you are sleeping... has that look in her eyes... she would just 'want to know what its like'.... that kinda thing going on... its the eyes they are the tell!

Lizzy you are imaclulak. Your music. Is so so.

Its really early and liz is giving me the creeps hahaha i gotta go to sleep

Their still my favorite band💕

Will Heggie was the best vocalist for the Cuckaw

Anyone have an idea what this song is about?

dropping out of art college, raves and this absolute masterpiece

Angelic.

....the angel

Elizabeth's singing aside, what is it about the double bass line kicking in during the second verse of this song that just hooks me in? The only other example I can think of is The Sundays "You're Not The Only One I Know." Pure brilliance!

One of the best ct pieces

Great singer, with possibly the worst diction in UK pop history. 😊

sad and beautiful...I always loved this song..

The first time i heard them was in 1985 Aikea-Guinea . since then they have been in my heart

2019 and I´m still here.

Très beau

Written and recorded in 1990 at the height of the Ecstasy MDMA Rave scene in the UK... the band later commented wryly in interviews about their sudden change of musical direction into the up-beat.. Very different from Garlands... both great of course!

I'm not a hater, but does anyone else agree with me that the song's opening sounds similar to a gameshow that I can't quite put my finger on?

I can sell my ears to devil after listening to cocteau twins music.I love you Elizabeth Frazer since i was a student in a school of fine arts in the Philippines listening to your music while doing my oil on canvas expresionism painting.

Her voice does my fecking head in. Garbage 😖☝️ sing nice or feck orf

1:19 1:46 formidable

Nice, forget this

Brilliant!

0:55 YES

I'm seeming to be glad a lot
I'm happy again, calmer, calm in time
Expose your doubter, arm yourself with
Me and then ensure your rise
You're the match of Jericho
That will burn this whole madhouse down
And I'll throw open like the walnut safe
More like a love that's a bottle of exquisite stuff is
You, yourself, and your father
Don't know, so much in your own ways
You're really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies


Is, you are the match of Jericho that will
Burn this whole madhouse down on the floor
Open like the walnut safe
Verse 2 You, yourself, and your father
Don't know, so much in your own ways
You're really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies

I listen again and again, and find myself edging closer and closer to her, wherever she is. Where is she, where is she from? I've never heard anything so odd or beautiful.

Richie B Scotland.

@KingPetra Derp. I know she's from Scotland!

@Richie B Hey Derp my Gaelic isn't that great. Please interpret: "Where is she, where is she from?"

@KingPetra Yes. I was meaning more like: Which dimension is she from? Of course I didn't make that clear.

1st time i saw em as a kid..mum tellin me they were out since i was born.

Still can’t recognize most of the lyrics after all these years but man do i love this song and the Cocteau Twins. Her voice, her voice!!!

Revenge of the North Catholic:
Parked by the church with a Toyota TM with white walls, chewing DoubleMint TM gum and rolling Top TM tobacco in my blue Dickies TM shirt. Going home. F u. I worship cutlery, man and Trivium in the waste basket. Listening to Dead Can Dance.
- Dr. North Pepper. If I smoked some pot...I could be a lifting fatass with new horseshoes. I don't need dirty hair or a wallet. Bitch. I haven't had a date for 30 years, apparently in the past also. So, don't fucking bother. I'll take the Salmon with apples and honey. Keep it. I ain't your fucking knight. You chicks are lying hippocrites. Yeah, get clean, or don't...either way your screwed. You're gonna be a crash test dummie filled with goon sperm!

Why burn the light house down?

Mmm...angel whispers in my ears...

If the universe should collapse, this would be worth preserving

I think they were great !
Very underrated too I think

Like Whitney Houston, she's a master of melisma singing, that it sounds like french but it's english.

Takes me back to the 80s....

Had you spoke English, Spanish, or an Earth based language you would have bern 50x more popular.

Loooool idek why i thought this was Carolyn Konstnar 😂😂 i love the cocteau twins

what the fuck she say ?

Always adored the beauty of their sound,can be vastly enhanced with chemical'refreshment'.

este voz linda canta de mais e bom curtir cocteau twins

I absolutely ADORE Elisabeth's duet with Jeff Buckley - All flowers in time. Brings me joy, pleasent nostalgia. Their two voices together it's something incredible!

Oh I'm back in my 20s

I remember that whenever I bought something from 4AD records, I knew it was gonna be quality and amazing!

❤️❤️❤️

Such an amazing voice! Love her voice!!!

i dont know what the fuck she's saying but it do sound good doe

This entire album has healing powers.

GUITARS LIKE : HIGH of the cure

Impossible (for me) not to fall in love with her.

Saw them live back in 90’s at UC Irvine I think. Kinda hazy days those early 90’s.

Love !!!!
