This Mortal Coil (TMC) is an example of a supergroup, and performers include members from bands on 4AD's roster, such as Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Colourbox, The Wolfgang Press, Dif Juz, X Mal Deutschland and Modern English. The records consist mostly of dark and moody interpretative cover versions of a wide variety of artists ranging from Big Star and Talking Heads to The Apartments and Tim Buckley. The group recorded three albums; It'll End In Tears, Filigree & Shadow and Blood.

The group takes its name from Shakespeare. In particular Hamlet's soliloquy To be, or not to be, where it refers to dying; "coil" is used in its archaic sense of "disturbance, trouble":

"What dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause."
Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1, line 67.

This Mortal Coil Lyrics


I first saw you.
You had on blue jeans.
Your eyes couldn't hide anything.
I saw you breathing.
And I saw you staring out in space.
I next saw you, you was at a party.
Though you was a queen, oh so flirty.
I cam against.
Didn't say excuse.
You knew what I was doing.
We looked very fine 'cause we were leaving.
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool, jerk.
Oh I want you, Oh I want you...
Like a kangaroo...

I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing
And I saw you staring out in space
I next saw you, it was at a party
Thought you was uncool, oh so flirty
I came against
Didn't say excuse
You knew what I was doing
We looked very fine 'cause we were leaving
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk
Oh I want you, Oh I want you
Like a kangaroo

I first saw you

You had on blue jeans

Your eyes couldn't hide anythin'

I saw you breathin'And I saw you starin' out in space

I next saw you, you was at a party

Thought you was queen

And so flirty, I came againYou didn't say excuse

You knew what I was doin'

You looked very fine

'Cause we were leavin'That Saint Joan doin' a cool, cool, joy

Oh! I want you

Oh! I want you

Like a kangaroo
