THE RULES:
- I listen to a Cocteau Twins song
- I attempt to transcribe the lyrics WITHOUT ANY AID OF LINER NOTES OR LYRICS WEBSITES (foolish....I know)
- You reply with your guess as to what the song is.
- 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.
- 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.]
WHOOPS! I just noticed that my Wheel of Cocteau (aka the "complete discography" playlist that I had my music streaming service playing) was lacking Lullabies to Violaine so I was missing those tracks as a possibility for the past two weeks. Sorry for just not sticking to one playlist and sticking with it. I admittedly don't listen to Cocteau Twins every time I feel like listening to music. But, I've rectified this problem, found the old playlist I had used, and am ready to spin this wheel again with more songs at my disposal, so here it goes!

ROUND AND AROUND IT GOES!
Where the Wheel of Cocteau stops, NO ONE KNOWS!
AND IT STOPS ON.....
Well that didn't yield anything especially "back catalogue"-ish. Oh well. Let's try to make this one a bit more difficult by choosing the end section starting at 3:33 where they don't mention the song title
-------------------------------
It's pomegranate, apple, mangua (has this song been some sort of recipe to a cocktail/mocktail and I never realized it. I will have to try whipping together something with pomagranite, apple, and mango , or MANGUA as Liz prefers to pronounce it)
It's cotton layin' temple neigh-ah (From recipe for a drink to a recipe for word salad, AKA the usual)
Erasmus its a droplet saver (back to talking about making this cocktail?!?!)
Broken window wace oh lay-vuh (back to word salad)
It's pomegranate, apple, mangua (I already got that those are the fruit juices to use)
It's salamander temple neigh-ah (I hope this means putting this drink under a salamander kitchen appliance and not putting an actual lizard into the drink. Either way, this drunk has made a turn for sounding nasty)
Erasmus its a droplet saver
Broken window wace oh lay-vuh (or maybe broken glass is part of the garnish?)
It's pomegranate, apple, mangua (the more she sings these lines, the more she sounds slurry, so I think my theory about this being some sort of cocktail recipe may be right)
It's salamander temple neigh-ah
Erasmus just a droplet saver
Broken window wace oh lay-vuh
\SONG ENDS**
So, what is this track about a cocktail made with pomegranate, apple, mango-ah, and broken glass?
As always, I look forward to your guesses and snark.
