Iceblink Luck Lyrics

I'm seemin' to be a little odd
I'm happy again, caught, caught in time
You 'spose the daughter of yourself
Well, me, I give in to your arms

You're the mad, chokecherry coal
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like a walnut safe
More like a love that's a bottle of exquisite stuff, yes

You, yourself, and your father
Don't know but in your own ways
You're really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies

You're the mad, chokecherry coal
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like a walnut safe
You will seem that being throughout
That same bottle of exquisite stuff

Yes, you are the mad, chokecherry coal
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like the walnut safe

You, yourself, and your father
Don't know but in your own ways
You're really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me baby

Cover art for Iceblink Luck lyrics by Cocteau Twins

the match of jericho

should be:

the march of Jericho. I'd say: look it up in the Bible.

explaining: taking walls down takes a march around walls.

This song reminds me of falling in love. A real, playful love.

In the dictionary, under "joyful".

Written down, though, the words seem a bit... erm... rubbish? Like with Kate Bush, so much of the feeling is in the performance.

@chrisrazor The words aren’t actually rubbish, it’s just the incorrect words posted here and elsewhere on the web that are nonsense.

She’s being lead to a place of joy by her daughter and husband, from a place of insanity. Her figurative madhouse is being taken down, like the walls of Jericho, but with love instead of violence.

Cover art for Iceblink Luck lyrics by Cocteau Twins

pretty sure this is about the happiness that her, at the time, recently born daughter brought to her in a time of personal trial and uncertainty. it seems to be full of hope for the future and gratuity for the past and present in spite of the many problems she's faced along the way. it's weird that her daughter is the same age as me.

"I'll throw open like a walnut safe"....?

Cover art for Iceblink Luck lyrics by Cocteau Twins

I’m seemin' to be a lead along I'm happy again, caught, caught in time Expose the daughter, arm yourself well. Me, I’ll defend your heart

You're the march of Jericho That will burn this whole madhouse down Though not throw open like the wall, not safe More like a love that's a bottle of exquisite stuff, yes

You, yourself, and your father Don't know so, but in your own ways You're really both bone setters Thank you for mending me babies

You're the march of Jericho That will burn this whole madhouse down Though not throw open like a wall, not safe You will seem more like being ‘bout that same bottle of exquisite stuff. Yes, you are the march of Jericho That will burn This old madhouse down though not throw open like the wall, not safe

You, yourself, and your father don't know so But in your own ways You're really both bone setters Thank you for mending me babies

My Opinion
Cover art for Iceblink Luck lyrics by Cocteau Twins

'You're really both born setters'

Should be:

'You're really both born Saturns'

explain: this ius about the star sign of both father and kid'!

@Sebastiaan68 It actually is “bonesetters”. Next line: “thank you for mending me”. Saturn isn’t one for mending, but a bonesetter in the other hand...

Why are these lyrics so wrong lmao?? First of all it\'s "You\'re the mad chokecherry coal" not anything about Jericho. Eh I don\'t feel like correcting all of it, just look somewhere else for the lyrics. These aren\'t the official lyrics you get from their old label.

@Birthdaymirth Does she sing "You're the mad chokecherry coal" but the meaning is "March of Jericho?"
