Have you all DIED and crawled into a hole musically or what? I haven't seen ONE article where the song mentioned was released in the 1980's!! And don't tell me that suddenly there are no more lyrics to garble, either. I can beat all of you - the hell with garbled LYRICS, how about garbled ENTIRE ALBUM LYRICS?

Or perhaps we don't know that we've mangled them yet :-) !! Ah nostalga! too bad you can't enjoy it too! You must be either too old or not old enough!

Who the hell are the Cocteau Twins?????? I've been active in the radio station in two colleges during the last 4 years, both have had very progressive formats, and I must say that I have NEVER heard of the 'Cocteau Twins'!!! Where the hell are you from anyway?? Its no surprize nobody has ever heard of the Cocteau Twins, though. Their albums are probably printed by some fly-by-night record company. We always threw those lousey albums out. Terrible quality - never mind terrible musicians. (If they were any good, they would have a contract with a REAL record company, instead of paying for the pressing out of their pockets...)

In reply to the the flame over no current mangled lyrics:
The song Kyrie Eleison (it's Latin, folks) by Mr. Mr. contains
a phrase that goes "Carry a laser down the road..."
