Cherry-Coloured Funk Lyrics
Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam a lens stable eyes and glass
Not get pissed off through my bird lips as good news
[Chorus]
Still we can find our love down from behind (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Down far behind this fabulous, my turn rules (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Beetles and eggs and blues and bells and eggs then blued
Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam a lens stable eyes and glass
Not get pissed off through my bird lips as good news
[Chorus]
You'll hang the hearts black and dull as the night
We hanged your pass and start being as you (Still being cried and laughed at before)
Still we can find our love down from behind (Still being cried and laughed at before)
Should I be sewn in, hugged, I can by not saying
[Bridge]
Should I be hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque?
Should I be sung and unbroken by not saying?
You mind not saying
He'll hang that heart's black and dull as the night
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me
We hanged your pass and start being as you (Still being cried and laughed at before)
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me (Still being cried and laughed at before)
[Outro]
Should I be sung and unbroken by not saying?
Should I be sung and unbroken by not saying?
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me
Hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque for key
About
Lyrics of this song were written and sung by Cocteau Twins.
They may be incorrect, or have no meaning. And here’s the explanation to it:
“Most of it [lyrics] was simply the byproduct of the way Liz pronounced words or chose to distort them and her grammar to suit the sound of the song or the melody. She often used words from other languages just for the way they sounded or looked on paper, … Remember, however, that it was never made-up, improvised, or pointless “gibberish.” They are words, or things similar to words. The lyrics were written down and the vocal melodies were all meticulously crafted and carefully recorded in the studio, even on Blue Bell Knoll, which sounds like anything but actual language.”.
The explanation was taken from unofficial, Cocteau Twins' fans website.
