The Moon and the Melodies (1986) is the product of a one-off collaboration between the Scottish group Cocteau Twins and the American composer Harold Budd. The Cocteau Twins refused to sign the album with the band's name and used their individual names instead.

The album has the characteristic style — heavily-treated guitar sounds and strangely euphoric vocalising — that can be heard in the group's other work from the same period, for example on the EP "Echoes in a Shallow Bay" or the album Victorialand. Harold Budd's stylistic piano tonalities and phrasing on this project are echoed in his solo album, Lovely Thunder, from the same year.

The phrases "bloody and blunt" and "ooze out and away, onehow" come from Elizabeth Fraser's lyrics on the songs "The Tinderbox (Of a Heart)" and "My Love Paramour", both from the 1983 Cocteau Twins album Head Over Heels. Reusing phrases from old songs as titles for others can be considered one of Fraser's signature characteristics, as can her habit of emphasizing syllables in ways that differ from standard usage.

Sea Swallow Me
Harold Budd Simon Raymonde Robin Guthrie & Elizabeth Fraser Lyrics


I don't know
Why you met me
And cannot cry
But you won't turn around
To see me fly
All you know
Is when I'm with you
I make you see
I'm nothing but another
Fish in the sea

I'm saying
Swallow me
Everything is alright
Ill be the one
Who keeps you up at night
And if you leave
I can guarantee
You will find 10 million
Guys like me

I'm not worried
It's his ring you wear
As long as noone knows
Then he can't even care
You're feeling guilty
I'm well aware
You look so ashamed
And baby, I'm so scared

I'm saying
Swallow me
Everything is alright
Ill be the one
Who keeps you up at night
And if you leave
I can guarantee
You will find 10 million
Guys like me

I'll pay you money
If you go see this guy
He's better off
Cos he won't ask why
I'm the real reason
That you went astray
Well be alright
If you don't
Want me to stay

I'm saying
Swallow me
Everything is alright
Ill be the one
Who keeps you up at night
And if you leave
I can guarantee
You will find 10 million
Guys like me

I don't know
Why you met me
And cannot cry
But you won't turn around
To see me fly
All you know
Is when I'm with you
I make you see
I'm nothing but another
Fish in the sea

I'm saying
Swallow me
Everything is alright
Ill be the one
Who keeps you up at night
And if you leave
I can guarantee
You will find 10 million
Guys like me

Canker up so many punches
Seven, sugar, and a man mangoes
Yell, I wanted my (x4)

Mosey temple bought her play for now
Anybody doesn't shy around
Horizontal moth (x2)
Horizontal to mono re-zones and we'll promise your dreams

At least the sea where liberty
Will stand in place to seek and rule the world

Many of us so many punches
Seven, sugar and a man mangoes
Yell, I wanted my (x2)
Yell I wanted my mellow, mo, me, mong, and yo-mo, ma

Can't grow up, saved
(Candle rock, Oliver)
No, she ain't saved
(Healer, I do)
I know, you know
(You, me, we, think not do)
Yell I wanted my
(Gonna be fine)
Yell I wanted my
(Get to feel)
Yell I wanted my
(If the tree gets stuck)
Yell I wanted my
(Now we must hiss)

Since you're all saved
(Sealed)
And she ain't saved
(Able to)
I know, you know
(I'll be you, me, we can't not think)
Yell I wanted my
(Gonna be fine)
Yell I wanted my
(Get to feel)
Yell I wanted my mellow, mo, me, mong, and yo-mo misease
(Hence the tree keeps bark, Help me bring)

At least the sea of liberty
(his diseases, yep they're all sealing)
Can stand in place then seem to realign
(And his neighbor will lie this will sit in my cup he will try to be fine)

At least the sea of liberty
Can stand in place reciprocally
And take the hand of people go
A liberty, a lie
