Twinlights
Twinlights is a 1995 EP by Cocteau Twins. It was released along with the EP Otherness as a teaser for the album Milk and Kisses. It is a mainly instrumental affair, with Allmusic referring to it as "being as close to an "unplugged" effort as the Twins ever got." The EP was originally released on CD as well as a 2x7" vinyl set.
The EP has four tracks, two of which were reimagined for Milk and Kisses ("Rilkean Heart" and "Half-Gifts"). "Pink Orange Red", which was released on the 1985 EP Tiny Dynamine, is a stripped down version of the original with a piano playing the melody and opening. "Golden-Vein" is the only track on the EP not to appear on any other release.
Elizabeth Fraser describes this EP as being about a man she fell in love with during the 1994 Four-Calendar Cafe tour. The mystery man has been speculated to be Jeff Buckley by Fraser's biographer, but she has never confirmed or denied this.

Tiny Lights
by: OutfieldThere's a little girl, sitting on the end of her bed
She's frightened of the things that were said - stares
at the sky
There's a little boy, too afraid of closin' his eyes
Didn't think he'd be so surprised - he can't disguise
He knows it's there, soarin out the window
His mother say's "You sure?" - he say's "I think so"
Is there anyone out there, out there
Tiny lights come down from the sky
Tiny lights surround them tonight
Every single color in a rainbow
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
There's an old man, rocking to and fro in a chair
He says he always knew they were there - he doesn't
care
Been a long time, so long he can't remember the nights
When he saw the very first lights - they thought he was
lying
His wife's afraid, tell's her not to worry
She packs her things - she's leavin in a hurry
Is there anyone out there, out there
Tiny lights come down from the sky
Tiny lights surround them tonight
Every single color in a rainbow
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
