To Sheila    partition
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:40
  batterie : matt walker - aussi ds "to sheila"(promo)

  twilight fades through blistered avalon - the sky's cruel torch on aching autobahn
  into the uncertain divine - we scream into the last divide
     you make me real   you make me real
     strong as I feel  you make me real
  sheila rides on crashing nightingale - intake eyes leave passing vapor trails
  with blushing brilliance alive - because it's time to arrive
     (refrain 1)
     lately I just can't seem to believe
     discard my friend to change the scenery
     it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
     but now it's just a matter of grace
  a summer storm graces all of me - highway warm sing silent poetry
  I could bring you the light - and take you home into the night
     (refrain 1 et refrain 2)
     (refrain 1)

Ava Adore    partition
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:20
  1er single - batterie : matt walker - aka "never apart"

  it's you that I adore   you'll always be my whore
  you'll be a mother to my child   and a child to my heart
  we must never be apart   (x2)
     lovely girl you're the beauty in my world   without there aren't reasons left to find
  and I'll pull you're crooked teeth   you'll be perfect just like me
  you'll be a lover in my bed   and a gun to my head
  we must never be apart   (x2)
     lovely girl you're the murder in my world   dressing coffins for the soul I've left to die
     drinking mercury to the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind   in time
  in you I see dirty   in you I count stars   in you I feel so pretty
  in you I taste god   in you I feel so hungry   in you I crash cars
  we must never be apart
     drinking mercury to the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
     lovely girl you're the murder in my world   dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind 
     in time 
  we must never be apart
  and you'll always be my whore    'cause you're the one that I adore
  and I'll pull your crooked teeth   you'll be perfect just like me
  in you I feel so dirty   in you I crash cars
  in you I feel so pretty   in you I taste god
  we must never be apart

Perfect    partition

  2ème single - le clip est une suite du clip de "1979" - batterie : joey waronker
  aussi ds "perfect" - "the smashing pumpkins 1991-1998" - "promotional videos"

  I know we're just like old friends. we just can't pretend. that lovers make amends.
  we are reasons so unreal. we can't help but feel that something has been lost.
  but please you know you're just like me. next time I promise we'll be perfect.
  perfect strangers down the line. lovers out of time. memories unwind.
  so far I still know who you are. but now I wonder who I was angel
  you know it's not the end. we'll always be good friends. but the letters have been sent on.
  so please you always were so free. you'll see I promise we'll be perfect.
  perfect strangers when we meet. strangers on the street. lovers while we sleep.
  perfect. you know this has to be. we always we're so free. we promised that we'd be.
  perfect.

Daphne Descends
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:38
  batterie : matt walker - aussi ds "perfect" - "adore"(promo) - "daphne descends"(promo)

  with the sugar sickness   you spy the kidnap kid   who kids you to oblivion
  it's the perfect hassle   for the perfumed kiss   he makes you miss him more than home
     you love him   you love him more than this
     you love him and you cannot you can't resist
     you love him   you love him for yourself
     you love him and no one no one else
  past sidewalk ashes   a last lovers arc   you come apart to intertwine
  it was all so simple   as you watched him move   across the darkness in your room
     you love him   you love him for yourself
     you love him and no one no one else
  and to the winding vines   the pretty boys dive
  and thru the pinhole stars   into the shadow mind
  will you lose him then   on some gentle down
     (refrain inversé)

Once upon a time    partition
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:06
  batterie : joey waronker - autre version dans "friends and enemies of modern music"

  Mother I'm tired   come surrender my son
  time has ravaged on my soul   no plans to leave but still I go
     Fallin' with the leaves   fallin' out of sleep
     to the last goodbye   who cares why ?
  Mother I've tried   wasting my life
  I haven't given up, I lie   to make you so proud in my eyes
     Fallin' out of sleep   crawlin' over me
     to the last goodbye   who cares why ?
     Tuesdays come and gone   restless still I drive   try to leave it all behind
     fallin' out of sleep   fallin' with the leaves
     I go crawlin' over me
  Once upon a time in my life... 
  I went falling
  Mother I hope you know   that I miss you so
  time has ravaged on my soul   to wipe a mothers tears grown cold

Tear
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 5:52
  batterie : matt walker - écrite à l'origine pour le film "lost highway" (mais remplacée par eye)

  the lights came on fast  lost in motorcrash
  gone in a flash unreal  but you knew all along
  you laugh the light  I sing the songs
  to watch you numb  I saw you there
   you were on your way  you held the rain
   and for the first time  heaven seemed insane
   cause heaven is to blame  for taking you away
     do you know the way that I can?  do you know the way that I can't lose?
     do you know the things that I can?  do you know the things that I can do?
     where is your heart? where is your heart gone to?
     tear me apart  tear me apart from you
  you laugh the light I cry the wound
  in gray afternoons  I saw you there
   you were on your way  you held the rain
   and for the first time  heaven seemed insane
   cause heaven is to blame  for taking you away
  the lights came to pass  dead opera motorcrash
  gone in a flash unreal  in nitrous overcast
     do you know the way that I can?  do you know the way that I can't choose?
     do you know the things that I can?  do you know the things that I can't lose?
     tear me apart  tear me apart from you
     where is your heart?  where has your heart run to?

Crestfallen
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:09
  crestfallen : abattu, découragé - écrite à l'origine pour courtney love
  aussi dans "adore"(promo) - "crestfallen"(promo) - "friends and enemies of modern music"

  who am I to need you when I'm down
  where are you when I need you around
  your life is not your own
   and all I ask you  is for another chance
   another way around you  to live by circumstance, once again
  who am I to need you now  to ask you why to tell you no
  to deserve your love and sympathy  you were never meant to belong to me
   and you may go, but I know you won't leave
   too many years built into memories
   your life is not your own
  who am I to need you now  to ask you why to tell you no
  to deserve your love and sympathy  you were never meant to belong to me
     who am I to you?  along the way  I lost my faith
  and as you were, you'll be again  to mold like clay, to break like dirt
  to tear me up in your sympathy  you were never meant to belong to me
  you were never meant to belong to me  you were never meant to belong to me
     who am I?...

Appels + Oranjes    partition
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:34
  titre original : "apples and oranges" qui est une chanson de pink floyd (d'où le changement de nom)

  what if the sun refused to shine ? what if the clouds refused to rain ?
  what if the wind refused to blow ? what if the seas refused to wave ?
  what if the world refused its turn ? what if the stars would hesitate ?
     what if what is isn't you ? what are you gonna to do ?
     what if what is isn't you ? does that mean you've got to lose ?
     digging for the feel of something new
  what if the silence let you dream ? what if the air could let you breath ?
  what if the words would bring you here ? what if the sound could bring you peace ?
     (refrain inversé)
     it came from your thoughts and visions   ripped from your weeks and indecisions
  what if the sun refused to shine ? what if the clouds refused to rain ?
  what if the world refused its turn ? what if the clocks would hesitate ?
     (refrain)
     does that mean you've got to choose ? the feel of something new
     does that mean you've got to lose ? the thoughts you cannot use   what are you gonna do ?

  desire me so deeply  drain and kick me hard
  whisper secrets for me  try to go too far
   inside where it's warm  wrap myself in you
   outside where I'm torn  fight myself in two
   in two  into...
     please don't change  please don't change at all

   outside where I'm torn  fight myself in two
   in two  into you

     yours alone

The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:33
  batterie : matt walker - aussi ds "adore demos"

  dusty screams, through doors and imaginary floors  "why can't you miss me?"
  pistol pete removes the final breaths from her unkind and she is shaken
   what does this mean in love or in peace?  with you lying next to me  so faithless serene
   and she calls to him
     let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
     far out beneath the sorrow clouds
     let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
     let them cry out through your rusted scars
  alone he roams inside the ordinary catacombs of her waiting
  with raven hands she steals and staggers towards her man  still scorned by his demon
   because he's undone  become the language of  disaster and love, vengeance and dust
   and she calls to him
     let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
     far out beneath the sorrow clouds
     let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
     let them cry out through your rusted scars
  dusty screams, through doors and imaginary scenes of hurt and teardrop
   as he holds her down, in the cold lonely winds  together again, her inside him
   and she calls to him
     let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
     far out beneath the sorrow clouds
     let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
     let them cry out through your rusted scars

Annie-Dog
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:36
  batterie : matt walker

  amphetamine annie-dog  has her leash and a face
  her velvet spleen her shackle spine  her diamond curse  it comes with mine
     a vessel she for violent I confession arms a wake
     mine, mine you were always mine possessed by my taste
  and below the angel dog combs her hair and sings her psalms
  the bombs go off she doesn't notice it all goes wrong she sets things tragic
  she is venus she is mars she's electric and the struggle of
     upon my face we leave no trace but in her stomach mercury aged
     she holds the blood she carves the knives she digs the wives in our babies
  amphetamine annie-dog pulls her trash and her stories
  from place to place and bed to bed gives of herself and the magnet head
  another floor another ceiling counting stairs with double meanings
     is it wrong to be swallowed whole to disappear in her
     to give her the priceless peace of giving up control
  we tumble out into the streets and annie-dog she drags her leash
  pretty face ugly mouth bitter bred and so released
  and by the no and by the yes annie goes if you couldn't guess
  a simple man a sycophant her elephant with the laughing call
  she wants clean sheets and fresh flowers
  and dental shots and the hong kong glue
  amphetamine annie-dog has her leash and a face

Shame
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 6:37
  batterie : matt walker
  certains fans pensent que cette chanson parle de jimmy, mais cela n'a pas été confirmé par le groupe

  you're gonna walk on home   you're gonna walk alone
  you're gonna see this through   don't let them to you
     shame
  love is good and love is kind   love is drunk and love is blind
  love is good and love is mine   love is drunk all the time
     shame
  you're gonna walk on home   you're gonna walk alone
  you're gonna walk so far   you're gonna wonder who you are
     shame
  love is good and love is kind   love is good and love is blind
  love is good and ove is mind   love is good all the time
     hello goodbye   you know you made us cry...

Behold ! The Nightmare
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 5:12
  batterie : matt walker

  I've faced the fathoms in your withstood the suitors quiet siege
  pulled down the heavens just to please you  appease you  the wind blows and I know
   I can't go on, digging roses from you grave
   to linger on, beyond the beyond
   where the willows weep and whirlpools sleep, you'll find me
   the coarse tide reflects sky
     and the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on
     with a december black psalm and the night mare rides on
  what i fear is lost here  the wind blows and I know
  all you have to do is run away and steal yourself from me
  become a mystery to gaze into  you're so cruel in all you do
  but still I believe, I believe in you

   so may you come with your own knives  you'll never take me alive
   with all the force of what is true  is there nothing I can do?
   I can't go on, digging roses from you grave
   to linger on, beyond the beyond
   where the willows weep and whirlpools sleep, you'll find me
     and the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on
     with a december black psalm and the night mare rides on
  I've faced the fathoms in your deep withstood the suitors quiet siege
  pulled down the heavens just to please you to hold the flower I can't keep

For Martha
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 8:17
  écrite pour la mère de billy (martha) - batterie : matt cameron - aka "the other side" (instru ds "adore demos")

  whenever I run  whenever I run to you lost one
  it's never done  just hanging on
   just past has let me be - returning as if dream - shattered as belief
   if you have to go don't say goodbye
   if you have to go don't you cry
   if you have to go I will get by
   someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side
     but for the grace of love, I'd will the meaning of heaven from above (x2)
     your picture out of time left aching in my mind, shadows kept alive
   if you have to go don't say goodbye
   if you have to go don't you cry
   if you have to go I will get by
   I will follow you and see you on the other side
     but for the grace of love, I'd will the meaning of heaven from above (x2)
     long horses we are born creatures more than torn mourning our way home

Blank Page    partition
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:51
  orgue : brad wood

  Blank page was all the rage   never meant to say anything
  in bed I was half dead   tired of dreaming of rest
  got dressed drove the state line   looking for you at the five and dime
  stop sign told me stay at home   told me you were not alone
  Blank page was all the rage   never meant to hurt anyone
  in bed I was half dead   tired of dreaming of rest
     you haven't changed   you're still the same   may you rise as you fall
     you were easy you are forgotten you are the ways of my mistakes
     I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof that you had left behind
     you remind me of that leak in my soul
     the rain falls   my friends call   leaking rain on the phone
     take a day plant some trees may they shade you from me may your children play beneath
  Blank page was all the rage   never meant to say anything
  in bed I was half dead   tired of dreaming of rest
  got dressed drove the state line   looking for you at the five and dime
  but there I was picking pieces up   you are a ghost of my indecision   no more little girl

17
  billy corgan - © 1998 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 0:17
  accompagnée du poème suivant :

  17 seconds of compassion
  17 seconds of peace
  17 seconds to remember love is the energy
       behind which all is created
  17 seconds to remember all that is good
  17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain
  17 seconds of faith
  17 seconds to trust you again
  17 seconds of radiance
  17 seconds to send a prayer up
  17 seconds is all you really need
