1er morceau instrumental sur un cd du groupe
Instrumentale
Tonight, Tonight
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:14
4ème single - version instru ds billy's gravity demos (tonite tonite (in c))
"Quand nous étions encore dans le milieu de la tournée Siamese Dream, je nous ai pris une place dans un studio local de Chicago pour mettre toutes nos idées sur cassette, sans aucune censure, etc. 'Tonight' était une de ces idées, mais c'était d'abord en C et pas en G. Le seul problème était que je ne pouvais pas la chanter en C, alors j'ai calculé la version sur Mellon Collie pour arranger mon champ limité. Je n'ai jamais pensé que 'Tonight, Tonight' serait un single. Je ne pensais pas que les gens l'aimeraient. Alors, je dois dire qu'enregistrer avec une section-cordes de 30 instruments était probablement une des plus excitantes expérience d'enregistrement que j'ai jamais eu." -Billy Corgan (Guitar World 1/97)
time is never time at all you can never ever leave
without leaving a piece of youth
and our lives are forever changed we will never be the same
the more you change the less you feel
believe believe in me believe believe
that life can change that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same we're different tonight
tonight tonight so bright tonight tonight
and you know you're never sure but you're sure you could be right
if you held yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake the place where you were born
believe believe in me believe believe
in the resolute urgency of now and if you believe there's not a chance tonight
tonight tonight so bright tonight tonight
we'll crucify the insincere tonight
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
the indescribable moments of your life tonight
the impossible is possible tonight
believe in me as i believe in you, tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight
Jellybelly

version instrumentale sur billy's gravity demos
welcome to nowhere fast nothing here ever lasts
nothing but memories of what never was
we're nowhere, we're nowhere, we're nowhere to be
nowhere, we're nowhere, we're nowhere to see
living makes me sick so sick i wish i'd die
down in the belly of the beast i can't lie
you're nowhere, you're nowhere, you're nowhere to be
nowhere, you're nowhere, you're nowhere to see
there's nothing left to do there's nothing left to feel
doesn't matter what you want, so
to make yourself feel better you make it so you'll never
give in to your forevers and live for always
and forever, forever, you're forever to be
forever, forever, you're forever to me
Zero

3ème single - "live in chicago"(promo) - "the smashing pumpkins 1991-1998"(promo) - "promotional videos""Nous aimons appeler ce style de notre musique 'Cybermetal.' 'Zero' a six guitares rythmiques, avec deux lignes avec des acoustiques 12-cordes, plus les leads d'Iha. Pisté en live avec des overdubs rajoutés après, c'est un vrai moteur aussi bien en tant que la première chanson qui a été enregistrée pour Mellon Collie, James a toujours dit que ça lui rappelait Judas Priest." -Billy Corgan (Guitar World 1/97)
my reflection, dirty mirror there's no connection to myself
i'm your lover, i'm your zero i'm the face in your dreams of glass
so save your prayers for when you're really gonna need 'em
throw out your cares and fly wanna go for a ride?
she's the one for me
she's all i really need
cause she's the one for me
emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness
bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship
i never let on that i was down
you blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
you blame yourself for wanting more
she's the one for me
she's all i really need
she's the one for me
she's my one and only
Here is no why

aka "just between"
the useless drag of another day the endless drags of a death rock boy
mascara sure and lipstick lost glitter burned by restless thoughts of being forgotten
and in your sad machines you'll forever stay
desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
and you're a star
somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
a hidden diamond you cannot find a secret star that cannot shine over to you
may the king of gloom, be forever doomed
and in your sad machines you'll forever stay
burning up in speed lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
the useless drags, the empty days the lonely towers of long mistakes
to forgotten faces and faded loves sitting still was never enough
and if you're giving in, then you're giving up
cause in your sad machines you'll forever stay
burning up in speed lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

1er single - demo acoustique de 1995, dans laquelle billy chante faux ds billy's gravity demos - ds "machina 7 track ep"
"1979" - "live in chicago"(promo) - "the smashing pumpkins 1991-1998"(promo) - "promotional videos""Croyez-le ou pas, le riff originale de cette chanson m'est venue pendant une des sessions d'enregistrement de Siamese Dream. Quelque part, j'ai une cassette de nous de 1993 jouant sans fin la partie 'world is a vampire'. Mais ce n'était pas avant un an et demi après que j'ai fini cette chanson, écrivant la partie 'rat in the cage' sur une guitare acoustique dans les studios de la BBC à Londres le jour de l'enregistrement de 'Landslide'." -Billy Corgan (Guitar World 1/97)
the world is a vampire, sent to drain secret destoyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though i know, i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage (x2)
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage
now i'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change and what have you got when you feel the same
even though i know, i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage (x2)
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage
tell me i'm the only one tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage (x2)
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a CAGE
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage
tell me i'm the only one tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you
and i still believe that i cannot be saved...
To Forgive
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:16
version instru ds billy's gravity demos (to forgive for nothing less)
ten times removed i forget about where it all began
bastard son of a bastard son of a wild eyed child of the sun
and right as rain, i'm not the same but i feel the same, i feel nothing
holding back the fool again holding back the fool pretends
i forget to forget nothing is important holding back the fool again
i sensed my loss before i even learned to talk
and i remember my birthdays empty party afternoons won't come back
holding back the fool again holding back the fool pretends
i forget to forget nothing is important holding back the fool again
i forget to forget me i forget to forget you see nothing is important to me
i knew my loss before i even learned to speak
and all along, i knew it was wrong but i played along, with my birthday song
holding back the fool again holding back the fool pretends
i forget to forget nothing is important holding back the fool again
Fuck You (and ode to no one)
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:50
aka "an ode to no one"
i'm never coming back i'm never giving in
i'll never be the shine in your spit
i disconnect the act i disconnect the dots
i disconnect the me in me
and you're mistaken, it's you that's faking
living and breathing and dying too
this message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool
you can't bring me back, you can't bring me back
cause i gave it all back to you
thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks wreak their havoc upon this world
the disenchanted, the romantics,
the body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep black hole
destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart (x2)
and you, you make me so i need to disconnect
and you make it so real i don't need your love to disconnect
to runaround kids in get-go cars with vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs
galaxies full of nobodies giving us the farewell runarounds
i took a virgin mary axe to his sweet baby jane,
lost my innocence to a no good girl, scratch my face with anvil hands,
and coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
and i give it all back to you (x3) for you
no way, i don't need it, i don't need your love to disconnect
and you make it, so real, i don't need your love to disconnect
no way (x3) to disconnect and you make it so real i don't need your love to disconnect
no way (x3) to disconnect
Love
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:21
version instru ds billy's gravity demos (staight Ab)
jouée sept fois en live
to my mistakes, to my mistakes of cowardice
she shimmy shakes, the jimmyjakes of consequence
born of the airs and dues,my airs of madness do declare
that it's ok, it's love
it's what you wanted to see,it's who you wanted to be
for what you needed to need,she'll make it up
love, love, it's who you know (x3) love love
machine gun blues, her vacant rush is so steel
i'm unaware, lost inside your visions
i got mine too over, i got mine and i got you
cause i know you, you're love
it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be
for what you needed to need, she'll make it up
love, love, it's who you know (x3) love love
when i lost my mind, ...
can i look up to you as you look down on me
can i feel in to you as you felt in to me
i can't help what you see, i can't help but to be
for what i needed to need, she'll make it
love, love, it's who you know(x6)
love sounds everything love
Cupid De Locke
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 2:50
à l'origine un poème écrit par billy - aussi dans "mellon collie"(promo)
cupid hath pulled back hi sweetheart's bow to cast divine arrows into her soul
to grab her attention swift and quick or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick
with turpentine kisses and mistaken blows
see the devil may do as the devil may care he loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare
her mouth the mischief he doth seek her heart the captive of which he speaks
so note all ye lovers in love with the sound
your world be shattered with nary a note of one cupids arrow under your coat
and in the land of star crossed lovers and barren hearted wanderers
forever lost in forsaken missives and satan's pull
we seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable
our hopes dead gathering dust to dust in faith, in compassion, and in love
Galapogos
  billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:46
on entend des chuchotements de 3:16 à 3:27
galapagos : archipel de l'océan pacifique à l'ouest de la république de l'équateur
version instru ds billy's gravity demos (the innocents)
ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child
softly stolen under our blanket skies
and rescue me from me, and all that i believe
i won't deny the pain
i won't deny the change and should i fall from grace here with you
will you leave me too?
carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
and hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes
and tell me i am still the man i'm supposed to be
i won't deny the pain
i won't deny the change and should i fall from grace here with you
will you leave me too?
too late to turn back now, i'm running out of sound
and i am changing, changing
and if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
is here with you
i won't deny the pain
i won't deny the change and should i fall from grace here with you
would you leave me too? would you leave me too ?
Muzzle
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:44
aussi ds "muzzle"(promo) - muzzle : muselière (fastening for the mouth)
i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows adrift among the days
for everything i ever said and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
my life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed and won
time heals but i'm forever broken by and by the way...
have you ever heard the words i'm singing in these songs?
it's for the girl i've loved all along can a taste of love be so wrong
as all things must surely have to end and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
and in my mind as i was floating far above the clouds
some children laughed i'd fall for certain for thinking that i'd last forever
but i knew exactly where i was and i knew the meaning of it all
and i knew the distance to the sun and i knew the echo that is love
and i knew the secrets in your spires and i knew the emptiness of youth
and i knew the solitude of heart and i knew the murmurs of the soul
and the world is drawn into your hands and the world is etched upon your heart
and the world so hard to understand is the world your can't live without
and i knew the silence of the world
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 9:21
as far as you take me, that's where i believe
the realm of soft delusions, floating on the laves
on a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me
as all the thought police, and closing in for sleep
the dilly dally, of my bright lit stay
the steam of my misfortunes has given me the power to be afraid
and in my mind i'm everyone and in my mind
without a care in this whole world (x2)
without a care in this life it's what you take that makes it right
porcelina of the oceans blue porcelina porcelina
in the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts
the light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
to the fringes gladly, i walk unadorned
with gods and their creations with filth and disease
porcelina, she waits for me there
with seashell hissing lullabyes and whispers fathomed deep inside my own
hidden thoughts and alibis my secret thoughts come alive
without a care in this whole world (x2)
without a care in this life it's what you take that makes it right
and in my mind i'm everyone (x2)
in my mind i'm everyone of you
you make it right it's all allright you make it right
porcelina of the oceans blue (x2)
Take Me Down
billy corgan et james iha - © 1995 chrysalis songs/cellophane star music (bmi) - 2:52
lives en 95 et 96
take me down, to the underground
won't you take me down, to the underground
why oh why, there is no light
and if i can't sleep, can you hold my life
and all i see is you
take my hand, i lost where i began
in my heart i know all of my faults
will you help me understand
and i believe in you you're the other half of me
soothe and heal...
when you sleep, when you dream, i'll be there if you need me, whenever i hear you sing...
there is a sun, it'll come, the sun, i hear them call me down
i held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun
and you're all i see...
and trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side
and you're all i see, and you're all i'll need
there's a love that god puts in your heart
