Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

  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
  billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:01
  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
  billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 2:40
  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
  billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:45
  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

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

"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

  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
