To clear up something mentioned in the comments since someone bothered to scream out in ALL CAPS that the title is incorrect.. This and 2 other tracks are listed on the BBC Sessions disk 2 exactly word-for-word as "Saturday Night Live" Dec 3rd 1983. This obviously isn't the USA's SNL (Big Country played that episode- bleh!). There was a BBC Radio 1 show called "Saturday Live" which aired at 4pm. The schedule (link below) is missing listings for that week. Show hosted by Richard Skinner (Old Grey Whistle Test and Live Aid 1985) and Andy Batten-Foster (also Live Aid but soon after a producer of garbage TV). Hope this helps instead of those complaining and venting below.
So many of my heart breaks were enthralled with their music this one being number 1 when the man I fell in love with had went away over a weekend without a word , without me, and came back married to another woman on Monday morning. I left work without a word, drove home in silence, and upon reaching home, I yelled ,screamed, cried hysterically the whole damn day listening to this particular song. The jokes on him, though. While he turned out to be an alcoholic nobody, I married a wonderful man who gave me the life of a princess turned queen with a top notch life style I never thought I’d live. So…”HA HA John! This one’s for you!”
Before Liz found her voice, she sings a lot like Siouxsie. She developed her own individual style, but I think there's still a little bit of banshee in there.
"Hitherto" Hidden to your heavy side I couldn't tell your head is so deep Hidden to her own hidden account I must have let her dame holes Hidden to your heavy side I couldn't tell your head is so deep Hidden to her own hidden account I must have let her dame holes Hidden to your heavy side I couldn't tell your head is so deep Hidden to her own hidden account I must have let her dame holes Hidden to your heavy side I couldn't tell your head is so deep Hidden to her own hidden account I must have let her dame holes Hidden to your heavy side I couldn't tell your head is so deep Hidden to her own hidden account I must have let her dame holes
fave live recording of this song by far, did they happen to tape this? longing to see that video (know this is from a BBC show and not the american SNL)
The incorrect title had me searching for a SNL appearance. It's from BBC Saturday Live Studios not Saturday Night Live in NYC. Saturday Live not Saturday Night Live. Please correct it so others don't waste their time searching for a SNL episode like I did.
I was about to say--I checked the SNL transcripts for 1983 and the musical guest on December 3 1983 was Big Country and the Smothers Brothers, not Cocteau Twins!!!!
Unparalleled vocal performance. Terrifyingly beautiful.
I love the guitars too.
Love that electrical-storm guitar sound Guthrie got back then.
Well said. This is spellcasting.
@@meowzer999 really reminds me of the swarmatron Nine Inch Nails uses in a lot of their music/scores. So good.
One of my favourite Cocteau songs, beautiful!
me too. you have good taste!!
Me too, it's brilliant!

Screw you John!

the guitar tone got me.... the rest just followed as i hoped, joyus.
Amazing sound quality on her voice and tempo just right.
YEP. All purpose yet no rush. If one isn't moved by this perhaps one is not alive.
this song is hella dope
This is Scottie who created that beautiful Tumblr account years ago. I'm so glad you liked it. I had alot of fun doing that. 💕🤗
THIS IS FROM A BBC SESSION, THEY NEVER PLAYED ON SNL

I couldn't tell your head is so deep
Hidden to her own hidden account
I must have let her dame holes
Hidden to your heavy side
I couldn't tell your head is so deep
Hidden to her own hidden account
I must have let her dame holes
Hidden to your heavy side
I couldn't tell your head is so deep
Hidden to her own hidden account
I must have let her dame holes
These lyrics are incorrect
NiCE sound. Thanks for sharing ☺

Sublime. Thanks
Title is INCORRECT. They never appeared on SNL.
Guthrie magic
Just unearthly..
I wonder if there’s footage of this performance since I was on a tv show.
I wish. Hard to get footage of their early stuff
The heading is Incorrect. They never appeared on SNL.
I believe they were on a British show called Saturday Live, not SNL.
fave live recording of this song by far, did they happen to tape this? longing to see that video (know this is from a BBC show and not the american SNL)
From BBC one "Saturday Live", omit night and it is accurate...
The incorrect title had me searching for a SNL appearance. It's from BBC Saturday Live Studios not Saturday Night Live in NYC. Saturday Live not Saturday Night Live. Please correct it so others don't waste their time searching for a SNL episode like I did.
do you still have the first photo you used for this video?can you send it to me or give me a link to download it?thanks!
Why do we not have eyes on it?

So they aren’t singing in English are they??
Please write the lyrics!
Please DO NOT. Part of the joy is imagining some of the words.
Bullshit,they never play SNL stateside.
I was about to say--I checked the SNL transcripts for 1983 and the musical guest on December 3 1983 was Big Country and the Smothers Brothers, not Cocteau Twins!!!!
True. If only.
