Wolf In The Breast

Cocteau Twins · Heaven Or Las Vegas [1990]

Under my shirt, Have to amass

Sling the tainted words

I'm each arms they fall on

It's my body, Puzzles the trick in me

I lend it out to borrow, it might survive

My baby's cries

Laughing on my bed, I've pretended I knew the way

Especially when, I'll revenge, all I'll need's that day

It's my body, Puzzles the trick in me

I lend it out to borrow, it might survive

My baby's cries

Laughing on my bed

I've pretended I knew the way

Especially when

I'll revenge, all I'll need's that day

I'll feel perpetual

I feel perpetual

I feel perpetual

True blue and real

I feel, I feel

True blue and real

Laughing on my bed

I've pretended I knew the way

Especially when

I'll revenge, all I'll need's that day

I'll feel perpetual, I feel perpetual

I'll feel perpetual

True and real

Wolf In The Breast

Cocteau Twins' 'Wolf In The Breast' stands as a defining track from their 1990 album 'Heaven Or Las Vegas,' capturing the group's signature ethereal sound. The song features the band's characteristic layered vocals, often harmonized with the haunting, wordless cries of Elizabeth Fraser, creating an atmosphere of mystical tension. Produced by Peter Gabriel, the recording blends shoegaze textures with ambient pop sensibilities, reflecting the band's exploration of spiritual and emotional landscapes during this era. It remains a quintessential example of the duo's ability to evoke deep introspection through minimal instrumentation and maximal vocal texture, cementing their legacy in the dream-pop genre.
