Heaven or Las Vegas is the sixth studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins, their last for the music label 4AD. It was released on 17 September 1990. Despite 4AD president Ivo Watts-Russell proclaiming it one of the best-ever releases on his label, he released the group from their contract at the end of 1990 because his relationship with the band had soured.

Released in 1990, Heaven or Las Vegas was the band’s most commercially successful release, reaching number seven in the UK album charts. But on the Scottish band’s 1990 album, Heaven or Las Vegas, Fraser’s voice rose to the forefront, no longer submerged. Rather than crafting instrumental textures involving Fraser’s voice, Heaven presents paintings whose principal color is her voice, and sacrifices none of the dense complexity underneath.

Lyrics to "Heaven Or Las Vegas" song by Cocteau Twins: Who'll ever win? Gee, you're just so ephemeral Go back for new For new in vain, it failed Singing . .Singing on the famous street I want to love me Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me. He's a hustler It's a role, he'll never make a suit Hang on to this So stay and spin and fail and fail Who'll ever win? Gee, you're just so ephemeral Go back for new For new in vain, it failed

Cocteau Twins Format: Vinyl. Heaven Or Las Vegas (Remastered). This album in itself is amazing. The severely underrated Cocteau Twins are truly a musical gem. The song Heaven or Las Vegas quite simply is one of the greatest songs of all time by a female-lead band, hands down.

Heaven or Las Vegas" - Cocteau Twins Via SoundCloud. It’s impossible to make out most of the lyrics on the title track to the Cocteau Twins ’ 1990 album, Heaven or Las Vegas. Over Robin Guthrie ’s shimmery, shivery guitar strum, singer Elizabeth Fraser bends her notes into mysterious shapes. One minute she sounds like an opera singer, the next like a mother baby-talking to her new daughter
