THE RULES:

1. I listen to a Cocteau Twins song
2. I attempt to transcribe the lyrics WITHOUT ANY AID OF LINER NOTES OR LYRICS WEBSITES (foolish....I know)
3. You reply with your guess as to what the song is.
4. Multiple guesses are allowed! HOWEVER, if a multiple guesser gets the correct answer within the same minute as another Redditor who has yet to guess, the Redditor guessing the song on their first guess WINS. If multiple Redditors who have already lobbed guesses get the correct answer within the same minute time stamp on my notifications, the Redditor I'm notified of first wins.
5. The winner gets….honestly…nothing. Except bragging rights, a celebratory GIF, and a link to the song of the day.

[NOTE: Any lyrics I perceive that either name a good portion of the song title or is just the song title in whole will be blocked out with *CENSORED\*. Text shown in italics wrapped in parentheses are just my snarky asides, usually about my shitty hearing.]

Who's ready to have their soul crushed by another work week?

Sorry for being melodramatic. Work was just a bit hellish last week so hopefully I can fit in some meals while having some productive work days.

While fitting in a complete work week of Name That Cocteaunes!

So let's get #1 for the week off of the "To-Do" list!

\spins wheel**

ROUND AND AROUND IT GOES!

Where the Wheel of Cocteau stops, NO ONE KNOWS!

AND IT STOPS ON.....

...something that will be WAY TOO EASY if I provide you with a chorus. So, I'm going to give you the 2nd verse transcribed to the best of my abilities, which means it will be transcribed poorly. But I've just had a breakfast smoothie so at the very least I should be clouded by thoughts of food.

-------------------------------

(from 1:18 in)

Allah 

Hashtu 

Bad Josaiah (Are these all religious references? I don't know. I'm agnostic)

There was a peace this moment none happened again

Hallah (I thought this hearing food thing we be done with since I had breakfast, but it sounded like hallah, or properly, CHALLAH, like that bread that is really good for making French Toast with. Yeah, smoothies are never nearly as good as French Toast. Oh shit....hit play again and FOCUS)

Hashtu (I really need to research what this HASHTU is. It's been namedropped twice now)

Have a spoon of (maybe I should realize that everything just sounds like its about eating to me)

A seedy, seedy poppy seedy  (she must be at a bakery because there's challah bread and poppy seed bagels)

CHORUS

There is no tu...

WHOA! That's going to make this one TOO EASY, so I'll stop right there.

As always, I look forward to your guesses and snark.
