마이 블러디 발렌타인 이전에 가장 위대한 드림 팝 그룹으로 손꼽히는 콕토 트윈스의 후기 베스트 컬렉션. 1993년에서 1996년 사이에 발표한 싱글들을 모아놓고 있다. 그러나 오리지널을 그대로 수록하지 않고 조금씩 변화를 줘 정규 음반과는 또 다른 음악적 지향을 들려주고 있으며 자연스레 이 드림 팝의 거장이 어떤 발자취를 밟아왔는지를 명증해주는 결정적인 리트머스 시험지 역할을 해내고 있다. 계열 마니아라면 반드시 필청해야할, 시대를 가른 소리샘을 담고 있는 음반이다. 특히 2 For 1의 저렴한 가격은 더욱 높은 만족감을 선사한다 .... ....
Don't settle for letting someone else define you Know who you are at every age What impression am I making? I see me as other people see me
There is no going back I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back I can't stop feeling now
I had to fantasize I was a princess, Mum and Dad were Queen and King I ought to have what feeling? I see me as other people see me
There is no going back I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back I can't stop feeling now
Feeling now
There is no going back, and I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back I can't stop feeling now
I had to fantasize Just to survive I was a famous artist Everybody took me seriously
Even those who did Never understood me I had to fantasize Just to survive
Echo fell in love with the handsome Narcissus Narcissus saw nymphs who adored him And wasn't ever raised to their affection
"Is anyone here?" "Here here!" "Come!" "Come!" "I will die before I give you power over me!" "I give you power over me!"
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves (all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves) Still repeating only what others have said (still repeating only what others have said)
Naricissus leaned over a clear pool For a drink and fell hoplessly In love with his own reflected image
Cursed through thought of futile desire to have his own affection In turn Narcissis slowly wasted away And didn't continue to love me
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves (all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves) Still repeating only what others have said (still repeating only what others have said)
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves (all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves) Still repeating only what others have said (still repeating only what others have said)
And death, eventually, overtook him as he stared He's found a finger for you; "Why would you be so mean?" And she repeated these same words to him
And Echos fleshes all were scattered about And her bones turned to stone Today, all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
"Is anyone here?" "Here, here!" "Come!" "Come!" "I will die, before I give you power over me!" "I give you power over me." REPEAT

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say, "are you married?" We'll say, "no man", "But you can do the job when you're in town!"
Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we made Walkin' in a winter wonderland, Walkin' in a winter wonderland, Walkin' in a winter wonderland
I am inauthentic That's me not knowing who he is I feel understands me You don't love me I take heart Because I haven't reacted To create hurt He mocks Before me I could have done something differently You can't heal what you can't feel Half beyond the consequence and Hurt me must grieve Let betrayal in this Also I'd leave our dreams And best beyond chance What might have been I embrace my feelings Share them lonely Last the only may are these food I take heart Because I haven't reacted To create hurt You can't heal what you can't feel
Rilkean heart, I looked for you to give me transcendent experiences To transport me out of self and aloneness and alienation Into a sense of oneness and connection ecstatic and magical I became a junkie for it I came looking for the next high
And I'm sorry I've been putting the search on the wrong place I understand that you're confused, feeling overwhelmed Well that's a feeling state from then, the reality
Becoming truly self-reliant and Becoming connected with something beyond me That is where I have to go I'm so sorry I've been putting the search on the wrong place
You're lost and don't know what to do But that's not all of you That's the reality today And that is all okay
It's an old game, my love When you can't have me, you want me Because you know that you're not risking anything
Intimacy is when we're in the same place At the same time Dealing honestly with how we feel, And who we really are
That's what grown-ups do That is mature thinking
Well I'm still a junkie for it It takes me out of my aloneness But this relationship cannot sustain itself
Intimacy is when we're in the same place At the same time Dealing honestly with how we feel, And who we really are
That's what grown-ups do That is mature thinking
I just have to know how to be in the process Of creating things in a better way And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning Even with grief and sadness
I still care about this planet I am still connected to nature And to my dreams for myself
I have my friends, my family. I have myself I still have me
I have my friends, my family. I have myself I still have me
Brush by gracefully A love as big as a risk Fills you up And you can? look on
The breath of god in my mouth A love you can taste God get some paste He and I, breath to breath
Clothed in saliva Healing thru your arm I cant stop hungering for otherness.
I forgot the use My head fall out the sky And crashed into my palms Jesus God valentine
Love On the tip of it The old rivers lack of other sweet scents So sweet You are a woman just as you are a man
Creeping on the Gas Is a magic love, like, Like a Flights, clouded peak I was choking on the blood Whose camouflages, lack of soul Whose misty fire, muses soul
Kneeling by the harm Which is promising the way His poor essence, under the truth love and heart polish itself I slid my heels but slowly ran So send Lucifer into hell
Ik does a dashik dozen Ik does a yield gig does Ik does alone cheyenne Mad at them who tease him scrawling
And I knew deeper darlin Idiom a deus is dos Indeared look he loves it Your elan new sub dearie
Says your supper should shout As you eat up seisured Evil oh it will Evolve evil vamos a la
Ik does a dashik dozen Ik does a yield gig does Ik does alone cheyenne Mad at them who tease him scrawling
He tear them off, he tear them off He tear them off and eat the meal too Oh eat off your toe As you eat up Slow eat that meal, slow eat that meal Slow eat that meal, no way down No way down, you're close Chew too slow, you're close And how can you mock me How can you be in the nude When you're my friend When you're my friend He tear them off, he tear them off ik does Oh eat off your toe
I know I need to tell you All I've seen, all i catch Put in the poster girl And shake like dogs of tiding scholar
Ik does a dashik dozen Ik does a yield gig does Ik does alone cheyenne Mad at them who tease him scrawling

Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else You steam a lens stable eyes and glass Not get pissed off through my bird lips as good news Still we can find our love down from behind Down far behind this fabulous, my turn rules
Beetles and eggs and blues and bells and eggs and then blued Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam a lens stable eyes and glass Not get pissed off through my bird lips as good news You'll hang the hearts black and dull as the night We hanged your pass and start being as you in ecstasty
Still being cried and laughed at before Should I be sewn in hugged I can by not saying Still being cried and laughed at from light to blue And should I be hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque
And should I be sung and unbroken by not saying You mind not saying He'll hang that heart's black and dull as the night
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me, from gains We hanged your pass and star being as you in ecstasy Still being cried and laughed at from behind me, from gains Should I be sung and unbroken by not saying Still being cried and laughed at from behind me, from gains Hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque for key
I'm at a loss I don't know what to do Feel like a waterless Nile Come here just hold me To feel safe enough to some Daring to senses sure A fable look what happens when I don't risk losing you There's no guarantee How are we to know if the response is coming I'm in the wrong place Is it like a, is it like a Is it like a dream How does it, how does it seem grounded and real (deep background voice)Seem very untrue Is it like a, Is it like a, is it like a dream How does it, how does it seem grounded and real (deep background voicee)Seem very untrue I feel a connection, a deep connection But it's not reflected In time spent together It's reflected cycle Clear imaginary Is it like a, is it like a, is it like a dream (this mountain of pleasure) How does it, how does it, seem grounded and real (oh oh I want to get lost in it) Is it like a, is it like a, is it like a dream (sleeping like a baby) How does it, how does it, seem grounded and real (stay close, stay close) Is it like a, is it like a, is it like a dream How does it, how does it, seem grounded and real (oh until I don't know where you end and, I begin Until I just, carry it in me carry it in me carry it in me I wanna get lost)
Whispers she softly, sweet songs in the bed of dreams: No answer, sweet song light Sing? I'd love to to sunlight, a song in the bed of dreams Cover me in Sublime light, with tingles Sing, and touch me With sad lust and revealing dreams Your song light will touch me
Sing nice body, passing through and over me So find me, come and answer me We find it deep, this, my minute, friend Not long before the wisps of starlight, meet the sunrise thru the window (shining) From outside, come in to toss me. Come back now, to find the sunlight.
Come back now, put sunlight on, oh Be with me and dream, it's my minute, friend Come feel the deep It's love in a floodlight Come feel the deep It's love in a flood
Ahhhh ahhhh oohhhh Ooohhh ahhh ahhhhh
Sing and touch light, satisfying me The sunlight will touch me Sing as from me, pass it over me, sublime me and I'll... come back to you.
