Cocteau Twins - Pearly Dewdrops' Drops Lyrics

Opnieuw heerlijke vrouwenmuziek van CT! Dit verveelt nog steeds niet....

Must've influenced everybody hurts by REM

"Pearly Dewdrops' Drops"

Ruby suns and ruddy
cups of pearly dewdrop's drops
Wakes in our company
Buys the pearly dewdrop's drops

Ruby suns and ruddy
cups of pearly dewdrop's drops
Wakes in our company
Buys the pearly dewdrop's drops

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Taciturn to pillow
To try to turn to...
First, though, I must die
To rip asunder what he saw

Taciturn to pillow
To try to turn to...
First, though, I must die
To rip asunder what he saw

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips...

Oh.....

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
(Will be sun to ruddy, sun to ruddy)
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
(Will be sun to ruddy, sun to ruddy)
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

I grew up in the 80s and just avoided the cocteau twins my whole life, deciding they weren't for me. I am now remedying that huge error.

Used lsd on many occasions in the 1980's listening too cocteau twins and tones on tails .

So many life made memories thru your music . Thank you. Xo

Was turned on to this in 1987 working on air force's finest...still hard to get fraizer out of my head...still loving you girl

I’m not gay but I like this song

Great band! Too bad they broke-up, huh?

This video should have 200 million views.

I love you, Liz. you
define beauty and
chaos.

a song mostly from 3 words....interesting

♥️🇧🇷

I'm listening it in the 06/01/2020

I like them but have no idea what she is singing in all of their songs.

this is better than music nowadays

I love her voice

My favorite band from the mid 80s. Oh the memories ❤️

This is an absolute masterpiece.

Have you heard Carolyn.s Fingers ? , beautiful

@david beckett No not yet. I will check it out. Listening now.
Another beauty. Thank you .

back when music wasnt formulaic 🧐

And this was indie back then. Today indie is a crap

Pretty sure there are no references to "Roddy" in this song.

"Climb over there and I'll buy you a bag of chips" Simon Raymonde. He tried the same thing later in their career with tragic results. https://youtu.be/s-5Xgw6d3h0?t=205

beautiful, beautiful song

mmmmm yes the band that nobody could understand, but this was forgiven as it was the mysterious hip band to like at the time. Good sound though.

this is the first song I heard by CT ... a friend had it on a mix tape and no label on the cuts. It took a couple of years to find it. And then as the CT albums have no credits for personnel, I thought for a few more years that because of the doubled vocal tracks I thought there were two women ... twins named 'Cocteau' singing. I loved every song and bought every album, and wasn't disappointed to find out it was just one Scottish woman named Elisabeth Fraser. I enjoy her phrasing so much. I can't decipher most of the lyrics, but then each song engages lyrically with my thoughts and they are eternally fresh.

Check out Julian Davidson’s part in the RVCA video

Padi padi was som Badi

I don't understand a single word of this enchanting, ethereal and wonderful voice. Thanks Liz Fraser for this new language.

Is this about precum?

Amazing! I got to meet her when they came to Hawaii and they all were just fantastic people and Elizabeth is just a sweet down to earth lovely lady. Best time ever🌺

One of the best Bass lines ever. Simon Raymond in his best. All the bass is awesome, btw.

still remember 1st time listening 2 this band...Magic! The paradise voice of Elizabeth Frasier love this track! (got the s&t album!)

I judge whether I like people based on if they like this song

Shut up boomer 😎

Shut my eyes, and I'm 20 again. Elizabeth Fraser wasn't a singer, and she made up words and garbled them. How can that be so beautiful?

any one here who tell me what the lyrics of any cocteau twins songs are , is there a glossary lexicon or a simple translator that alexa can detial in a logo rhythm . cos even though i have tried since the late 80s i cannot break the code ?

Bas, słodkie masywne tło, nietypowy głos góra-dół. Do tego bit perkusji, strzał gitary.

This song is my personal heaven.... Mmm...

"In the potty doo-doo drops"?! 😱

Nice church

One of Scotland's best ever bands.

The Cocteau Twins were truly unique. Liz Frasier wove a web of intrigue with her vocalise. Brilliant!

just wtf is she singing?

Элита избранной и редкой музыки середины 80-х. Суппппер....

Listening. Seeing, Feeling. Elizabeth Fraser, Forever!
Molly

Great music transcends time. .

Lizz Fraser поет конэчно шикарно! Да, группа породила целую плеяду дрим-поп групп и кучу подрожателей.

That would make a much more interesting time.

Why does he look like he's waiting for the priest to ask him if everything is alright. Then he does the cliche vacuous stare saying ," Yes Father.".
Then the switch flips and he proceeds to stab to priest repeatedly. He drops the knife. Glances around the empty church and proceeds towards the exit. The whole time humming the Chicken Dance song at 3/4 speed

Her voice makes my voice catch ...beautiful song

Strange, brilliant, talent !

Untouchable even after all these years! Wondrous, makes me feel 16 again. Never really got over my crush on Liz Fraser ....

yes yes Brilliant !!

Such a favorite song from the 80s. This is a horrendous video, in which she looks wildly plain, fat, boyish, etc. And Christianity? F off.

Sincerely, I can't imagine a single person not putting this song it in own "Top 20".
Just the Bassline is so melodic and recognizable, not similar to none. Perfect guitar and keyboards added.
Did I forget something? Oh yes Elizabeth but her, you already know her marvelous capacities.
Just wanted to talk about the rest of the band, lol.

I love this record,but what a dreadful sound this has!

The band, (IMO), who gave us both The Smiths and The Sundays. Thank you.

Música mais que perfeita meus caros

....this band is the reason why I bought an E-bow. Since then I've seen many guitarists pick one up to use, sometimes only briefly. Only recently did I notice that The Psychedelic Furs used one(and I've seen them loads since 1980) and only a few months ago the band The Contortionist 👍

👁️👁️ ❤️

So beautiful, I come back to this to get grounded agin.

I dont know why but this song , in my mind, is their saddest song, its so timeless that it hurts to hear it, not their best, but certainly one of their most emotional

Encontré esta bella canción Gracias a la peli Las Ventajas de Ser invisible uwu.

The 80s certainly was a great time for music,I was there !

Talking to Elizabeth, she dislikes all the videos, she said it was a pointless exercise that bore no relation to the music and made them look just like another formulaic pop act, we felt foolish.

Fish are good, but I have a cat who will listen. Good luck, Billy Collins with online. Mary Carroll

great band but would love to hear a mix without so much reverb on everything, especially the rhythm section it's drowning.

Reverb was one of the things that most songs in 1984 or thereabouts had to have lots of.

The Pink Opaque is my favorite album.

feels like drops of heaven inside your scull

Fall of 92...lots of AM hours lost to this album.

Aahhhh... Home...

Great song/track :)

elizabeth fraser staring longingly into the distance 30+ years ago: goo goo ga ga malibu pekaboo
me now: (holding back tears) an angel...

Jeff Buckley loved this and her

Que gusto es volver a escuchar Cocteau Twins!

Just Love it excellent

Yes please, I'm coming.

Lyrics:

We'll be sold
When Roddy comes

We'll be sold when Roddy 
Comes for pearly dewdrop's drops
Weeks in our company
Cups of pearly dewdrops' drops

We'll be sold when Roddy comes 
Comes for pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly to their souls

And as he jump the puddle
To try to turn to loving this. 
Where still I am on my stuff
So when he turned around he saw

We'll be sold when Roddy comes
Comes for pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly to their souls

Comes for pearly dewdrop's drops
(We'll be sold to Roddy, sold to Roddy)
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly to their souls

Utterly pointless... Who knows if this is even what she singing...its not about the words it's about the sound

benjamin woodrow ikr

"E então eu escutei essa música, e imaginei que um dia eu olharia pra uma certa pessoa na sala e pensaria que tudo ficaria bem".

Clever musicians! Love Elizabeth's voice too

How does a song this good even exist

Beautiful song 💜

I was 19. How I wish I could go back and start again.....

Masterpiece, I'll never forget the joy when I first got into the Cocteau twins around 2003, no other music like it, absolute fuckin legends

Thanks 4AD for posting this

Reminds me of my a level to college year. So many new things in life then... 54 now and battered but this is still so great and evocative.

The CT with her voice is music on another level, in a different dimension that carries a spiritual deeper meaning that no other band has ever been able to do or ever go there.

i feel rapped!

Im only barely watching this music video. I've been listening to this song for a long time. I loveeeee this song, idek what she's saying half the time

When we had people who actually had a voice instead of the squawking that is classed as singing now! We had unique voices then and what beautiful voices they are!

It gets better when you realise that this is their highest charting track in the UK (#29)

i am sure spaghetti bolognese is mentioned....but still beautiful

Still relevant in 2019!

2:12 how CT fans felt when the band broke up

Remember when this was released, I bought it immediately. At a time aged 17 when I thought that getting getting old was impossible..

I saw her at Bath, it was a warm up gig for some big concert she was doing. I stood at the back of the hall with the Merchandise guy. It sounded like the Gates of Heaven had opened. She was utterly amazing.
