| Tom Waits – Filipino Box Spring Hog Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It seriously sounds like some kind of twisted... country... rap song to me. | |
| Cocteau Twins – Alas Dies Laughing Lyrics | 14 years ago |

First of all: Possibly one of the best Cocteau Twins song titles. Second of all, beautiful song. If I remember correctly, this is on Lullabies to Violaine. I think the reason why there are so few comments on so many of the Twins' songs is that the lyrical content is not the focus, but used as a tool to enhance the mood of any given song. Such as the line "Wake takes a mumbling form" (if that is really what she's saying) implies something quite sinister, which supplements the atmosphere. The Cocteau Twins take us out of our heads and force us to feel for a moment. And that's really not all bad sometimes. |
