Cocteau Twins - Peppermint Pig (12") (non-official)

Non-official clip of Cocteau Twins Peppermint Pig

These are lyric interpretations

Why you must come in by the overland
It's slightly less snarled, I suppose
Why you must come in by the overland
I'm waiting for the moment, I suppose

You're finding the switch of
The peppermint pig stage

Burning the treasure
While not eating the money

Why you must come in by the overland
It's slightly less snarled, I suppose
Why you must come in by the overland
I'm waiting for the moment, I suppose

That bunch can be deadly and
That bunch can be so experienced

I consider this clip the best video

posted here, made by a fan of CT.

(Well, I also like the Pandora - live video.)

Good job.

It fits perfectly well.

I watch it over and over again.

Thank you very very much!

One of my favorite early Cocteau Twins songs I absolutely love the part at 25 when that bass comes in. This version is a little bit different than the one on Lullabies to Violane I notice. Thanks for the post Lopes!

[MBotelhoLopes]

This version is from the EP(12") and I guess the one on Lullabies to Violane is the single(7") version. The CD single has both versions.

has been haunting me for about 25 years now.

My favourite Cocteau Twins song and the very first I heard from them in 1983 on Radio Luxembourg. At the time I thought the sounded a bit like Siouxsie & The Banshees, which is a big compliment in my opinion.

un vero capolavoro

[jackkoffin1]

I have to disagree with Robin Guthrie. The Cocteau Twin's music became completely unbearable to me after their early batch of albums. I adore this single, and Garlands is one of my all time favorite recordings.

Lol does look like morrissey dancing

[jkar1973]

Winona's Ryder favourite band. This is how i started listening to them. But this song is my fav.

@skinnymexicanbuddha Yeah, and Simon Raymonde said "It's our worst album by a mile". I may be viewed as a heretic by a large mass of CT fans, but I agree with him. Although a good concept per se, it sounds a bit unfinished to me. All the songs are well conceived but leave a lot to be desired as well. Too repetitive, programmed drum sequence is extremely dated (mid-'80s) and too simple, not too much of progressions within songs. Compared to Head Over Heels, Vicorialand, Blue Bell Knoll, it loses.

Nice imagery.

This was once my fvourite songs when I was young... (This version, also)...

If i am not mistaken,... is that video clip montage,

incorperating a silhouette of Morrissey onstage, dancing ;)?...

[skinnymexicanbuddha]

robin guthrie called "treasure" an abortion. it has more than a few of my fave songs.

[ultracrunchy]

back in 89 90 was the first time I heard this album after treasure had already came out so I thought I would go back to see what they were doing back in the day...................and I was reading a book at the same time so of course whenever I hear this song.........the hand of a woman by diana brown.. fiction goody goody gum drops
