    General Comment:What I can't help laughing at is you guys trying to make out lyrics that are not even in English, at least not totally. Of course there are those songs from Garlands, Milk And Kisses, Heaven Or Las Vegas etc which are indeed in English but as for other ones such as these from Treasure, it has been said so many times that these are words from different languages put together and people still force English lyrics upon them just because they want to make some sense of them. They may have some subjective meaning but this doesn't help, unless you are just joking about making out their lyrics.

    My Interpretation:people explode
    pandora
    pompadour
    pele
    be sweet
    persephone

    we all adore
    the turning ball
    he turned to her
    adore a poor animal
    we all adore
    the turning ball
    he turned to her
    adore the poor animal

    breath on you
    breath out
    we're all bloody

    people explode
    pandora
    pompadour
    pele
    be sweet
    persephone

    we all adore
    the turning ball
    he turned to her
    adore a poor animal
    we all adore
    the turning ball
    he turned to her
    adore the poor animal

    people explode
    pandora
    pompadour
    pele
    be sweet
    persephone

    General Comment:I agree. Trying to decipher CT lyrics is almost always an exercise in futility. She could be singing in gaelic here for all we know.

    General Comment:I agree - this whole excercise pointless for the cocteau twins, surely?

    Elizabeth has admitted lyrics would often change with each singing anyway . . .

    General Comment:I have a hard time reading these 'lyrics' without busting a gut. If there ever was an example of 'let it be' regarding the Cocteau's, this is it. Yes, it's very likely she sings the word 'pompadour', but Liz' thing was about texture for this album--she made the music incredibly special but let it do the talking also.

    General Comment:..the song is presumably named after the producer Ivo Watts Russell - who produced many of the artists on the 4AD label.

    General Comment:Not sure you can write the lyrics for this or any of the CT's songs from this wonderful treasure of an album. I heard this in 1984 whilst listening to the great John Peel show. 1984 was a great year for British music (in my view it has yet to surpassed for sheer breadth of music styles). This album was haunting, poetic and calming. Liz's voice is fantastic. This is my favourite of all CT albums and I particularly like this opening track.
