I'm guessing Cocteau comes from Jean Cocteau, who must have admired for his admirable artistic talents...but Twins?

They got the name from an old Simple Minds song. Supposedly the lyrics are about 2 gay guys into Jean Cocteau

These seem to be the lyrics to Simple Minds "Cocteau Twins." I don't get it. . .
Maybe they liked the song because the lyrics make no sense. Anyone heard it??

I see them walking
You know they're walking at night
Ohh in the dark you know
They're shining out so bright
Your sarky voices are gonna come on so near
As every picture becomes so clear

You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice

There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy no immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure.

They like to stay
Ooh come on
Come on and stay up so late
You gonna talk of all the things you just wanna hate
You wanna come on
Come on
And make me so mad
Inside your heart
I know it feels so bad
You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice

There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure

Come on and do it
Just what to do it
They're going to do it
Just want to do it

There is no cure...

Those lyrics are for "No Cure" - basically the same song, but Simple Minds just changed the words a bit. You can hear the demo version here:

Factually -They're just characters from Tin-Tin aren't they?
Alternatively - can there be any meaning to the Thompson Twins?

Phil Lawton mentioned the blonde, baseball-cap wearing bird with a face that you'd never get tired of stabbing, awhile back. I thought that was pretty meaningful.

COCTEAU TWINS
They were named after an old Simple Minds song first called "Cocteau Twins", then renamed to "No Cure". All this was inspired by a set of twins that spoke a language they created that sounded like gibberish to everyone else.

:)

Yep that's all good,

THOMSON TWINS
After two characters in the 'Tintin' comics by the Belgium artist Herge.
