Question about the Cocteau Twins.

If they're twins - how come there's three of them. And none of them has the last name Cocteau. And Jean Cocteau died years before they were born. I suspect these people are not twins!

11. AH I see...

But that explains why I don't know them, if they released their last album in '96 I was only 10, and I don't think most 10 year olds are into psychedelic band's.... well maybe they are? :shrug:

I wasn't though. ;) :D

12. Hmmm...probably burried in Liz Fraser's lyrics, somewhere

I recommend you lock yourself in a room with a pen, paper and a CD copy of "Treasure". Transcribe the entire album, and the answer will be clear to you. :dunce:
