[Alexander Smith]

The song was released under the name THIS MORTAL COIL, not THE COCTEAU 
TWINS. Try finding it on a Cocteau Twins record. You won't. IT was 
released solely on IT'LL END IN TEARS by This Mortal Coil, which was 
organized and choreographed by 4AD chief,  Ivo Watts Russell, and 
marked the first time -- I believe -- that Fraser sang in discernible 
English (not her idea). Robbie from Modern English recorded a version 
of "Not Me" on This Mortal Coil's IT'LL END IN TEARS. That doesn't mean 
that Modern English recorded "Not Me", but rather that This Mortal Coil 
(an amorphous studio collective and Watts Russell's pet project) did.

You're still wrong. And you're still a dick.
