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
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

| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Dec 01, 2011 - 17:26 Far from their best, but nice to hear some CT on RP. Would love to hear more here and better cuts! |
| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Dec 01, 2011 - 17:25 At first, I thought this was "Song For Sharon" by Joni Mitchell (well the volume was turned way down, and there are some similarities...) Happy that it's the Cocteau Twins, though. Good stuff! |
| Andy_B (aboard MV "Horizon," east coast Fla) | Posted: Aug 18, 2011 - 12:59 This is good. |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Jul 28, 2011 - 14:49 Thought it was early Chrissy H of the Pretenders. |
