Heaven or Las Vegas Lyrics
Gee, you're just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed
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
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
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
I'm dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
I'm empty before our(a?) wedding / I'm ready to fall, I'm waiting (?)
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
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
I think it's so funny that the cocteau twins have a page on songmeanings.
@Possibilities you get it. i learn to love a vulgar bumblebee.

@Possibilities I love it it too, and it reinforces why songmeanings.com is so great! Every one hears everything differently, and brings their own unique interpretation into song!

@HyperGlitter "i learn to love a vulgar bumblebee" is what the acid told me she is singing.

@HyperGlitter I hear “I want your love above and below me” which is a better match to the aura of the song, to my ears.

Carnivals are bluster loud I'm dizzy so i go under the 'big dipper' Come fantasy for a carnival How fitting before a wedding
This is what I think it is: Paramours are blessed they are I'll do some self adore under the 'Big Dipper' Come fantasy for a carnival How fitting for a wedding day.
awesome song. also i like the fact that she pronounces almost everything entirely different.

I love the sound & feel of this song- not as much as Lazy Calm, but a close 2nd....
This song was inspired by the Cocteau's visit to Vegas.
It certainly wasn't. When they played there at the end of the HOLV tour, they stated they had never been there before.

Her voice is very confident and sexy! The guitar solo is for famous lovers!
I think that the phrase "Heaven or Las Vegas" arose in a much earlier Cocteau Twins song. Lawrence, the singer of Felt, told the band how much he loved that phrase, in that it's so ambiguous: Is it saying that Las Vegas is heaven or hell or both?
I don't think it was inspired by them going to Las Vegas--at least I've never heard that. Naturally, though, they ended their US tour of that album in Las Vegas.
I thought the whole idea of the CT was that the lyrics weren't important. It wasn't supposed to be interpreted because they sang words that fit and sounded in harmony. To try to translate in interpret the lyrics may be a total waste of time.
I'm brazilian and, as you can see, my english is pretty poor. But, even so, even I can't understand anything, or almost anything she says, many of her songs make me melancholic, not sad, but introspective . Ok, maybe a little sad. It brings me back to my teen years. It's strange because I didn't know the CT that time.
