    Lyrics
    At times I've seen you from the armyard
    At times I've seen you from the flagstones
    At times I've seen you from the balustrade
    At times I've seen you from the flagstones
    And you can't cajole [x3]
    And can't cajole
    At times I've seen you from the aureole
    At times I've seen you from the flagstones
    (Like another goalstone)
    (You may cajole)
    And you may cajole [x3]
    (You may cajole)
    And you may cajole [x3]
    (You may cajole)
    And you may cajole [x3]
    And make a joke
    At times I've seen you from the balustrade
    At times I've seen you from the flagstones
    At times I've seen you from the balustrade

    THIS IS MY YOUTH❤❤❤❤❤❤❤It was here in this time that I heard of Cocteau Twins for the first time and I think it was in the John Peel radio show; Once a week in the evening here in Holland.
    This music is so outstanding👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 17 years old then and I still get goosebumps now listening. They hit you right in the heart and soul. BEAUTIFUL👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
    Not every day but still listening to them😍🥰😍🥰

    That quick low tone vibrato she was doing at the end of some of the verses was tripping me out. What a wild and fresh concept for even today 40 years later!

    • @ScottishTeeVee
      @ScottishTeeVee  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      For me, 40 years ago, they were the local band, playing in Falkirk, I saw them one time very early 1982 and after that my friends and I avoided them like the plague. We were all 100% sure, that the Cocteau twins would never make it in the music biz. We got that wrong 😆
