"Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops" is a single by Scottish band Cocteau Twins, taken from their 1984 EP The Spangle Maker. The song was written by Cocteau Twins, and recorded at Rooster Studios in London. It was their highest-charting single, peaking at No. 29 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 1 on the UK Indie Chart. The lyrics are "as nonsensical as they are indistinguishable" but "Elizabeth Fraser's reverb-heavy soprano" carries the song just the same.
