yeah, but Cocteau Twins is "unintelligable" because most of the lyrics
aren't really lyrics per sae. Liz sings sylables and phrases that sound
good together, regardless of any lyrical sentence structure. If you try
to listen to the majority of their stuff for the lyrics, you'll get
nowhere fast. (They did a funny version of "Frosty the Snowman" once.
it's funny just because they did it.)

also, REM used to be critisized for unintelligable lyrics. they also
said they'd never print lyrics, either. i guess if micheal stipe can
change, so can karin.
