Know Who You Are At Every Age (Bios)
Robin's & Elizabeth's hometown
Grangemouth, Scotland
The first LP to feature Simon Raymonde
"I never thought in a million years that I'd be in the Cocteaux."
Simon Raymonde
Cocteau Twins' original third member, who parted ways with Robin and Liz after 1983's "Peppermint Pig" EP
Will Heggie
Simon's favourite football club
Tottenham Hotspur
"Shallow Then Halo"
This 1986 LP is not actually a Cocteau Twins album, although it is often thought so because all three band members contributed to it--along with a fourth musician, Harold Budd
The Moon and the Melodies
"Everything we do gets compared with Garlands now, and there's no way we can get a sound like that again, because it was created through total naivety, we just didn't have a clue what was happening."
Will Heggie
This song was originally intended as the band's first single, but they recorded and released the album "Garlands" instead
"Speak No Evil"
She's Robin's and Elizabeth's daughter
Lucy Belle Guthrie
"Fig up, my love / Ooze out and away, onehow"
"My Love Paramour"
The first Cocteau Twins song to reach the UK Top 40--in 1984
"Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops"
"I'm a very violent person, actually. It really annoys me."
Elizabeth Fraser
This woman was Liz's inspiration for the song "Ella Megalast Burls Forever," from the 1988 LP "Blue Bell Knoll"
Robin Guthrie's mum
Simon's famous musician father
Ivor Raymonde
"This mockingbird / My lullabies"
"It's All But an Ark Lark"
The band's acoustic EP "Twinlights" from 1995 included a new version of "Pink Orange Red," originally released in 1985 on this EP
"Tiny Dynamine"
"I'd like to debunk the myth about this 'lost album.' First, it's not lost, it's upstairs on my computer. Second, it's not an album, it's just a couple of sketched things."
Robin Guthrie
A song from 1995 that can only be found on the motion picture soundtrack to the Sylvester Stallone film "Judge Dredd"
"Need-Fire"
Elizabeth Fraser's birthday
29 August (1963)
"You'll hang the hearts / Black and dull as the night"
"Cherry-Coloured Funk"
"Heaven or Las Vegas"
"I'm very perfectionist. I'm getting stronger as a person, but sometimes I just need to get over myself!"
Elizabeth Fraser
The last song the band ever released (in 1996) which did not appear on any official Cocteau Twins record until 2018
"Touch Upon Touch"
