I Am One
billy corgan/james iha - © 1991 Cinderful Songs/MGA Music Ltd - 4:06
1er single - aussi ds "vieuphoria" - "machina 7 track ep"
"the absolute middle of nowhere #17" - "the smashing pumpkins 1991-1998"(promo)
I am one as you are three
Try to find a messiah in your trinity
Your city to burn Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you'll burn
   Am I as I seem? I'm down Down, so down
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
Your city to burn Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you'll burn
     See you, don't you just want to See you, I am one
     See you, don't you just want to See you
     See you, don't you just want to See you, I am one
     See you, don't you just want to See you, I am one

"En fait, à l'origine c'était, c'était 'Shiva' avec un h, et c'est le dieu de, euh... la destruction et le sexe... et
euh, alors j'ai lu là-dessus et je me suis rendu compte que c'était pas ce que je voulais pour la chanson, je ne voulais
pas être identifié avec un dieu spécifique, ça a plus à faire avec, comme, vous savez il y a le yin et le yang et il y a
shiva et shaki, et donc c'est comme l'aspect mâle de l'hindouisme. Et ce n'est pas vraiment ce dont la chanson
parle, mais... c'est dur à expliquer." -Billy Corgan (120 minutes) I spin off and lose my head Throwing stray a spark instead
Gather strength down in my heel And dig it in the world I peel
Way down deep within my heart Lies a soul that's torn apart
Tell me, tell me what you're after I just want to get there faster
     I don't live - I inhale
     I don't give - I unveil
     Don't want to live in your misery
     I don't live - I inhale
   Sprinkle all my kisses on your head Stars full of wishes fill our beds
   She said, "I'm dead"
All this pain smothers me Like a bomb that you can't see
Tell me, tell me what you're after I just want to get there faster
     I don't live - I inhale
     I don't give - I unveil
     I don't live - I inhale
     I don't live

Planned a show - Trees and Balloons
Ice cream snow - See you in June
Could have known - I would reveal
Should have known - I would conceal your way
     She knows, she knows, she knows
     She knows, she knows, she knows
     How's it - She knows, she knows, she knows
Colors show - After the moon
I should go - See you in June
     Your way
     Open your eyes to these must I lie?

Bury Me
billy corgan - © 1991 VG Records Ltd T/A Hut Recordings - 4:48
(boys, let's do it)
Bury me in love Bury me in love
Shared your kisses, take your heart Buried me and it hurts
I love my sister so She don't smother me
I played the spades I know I'm a Jack of all trades Would you bury me?
     Once you see her One inside (hide, hide) Some things you just can't hide
     If you see her Tell me why (why, why) Why won't she come outside?
     If you see her Tell me why (why, why) Why won't she come outside?
     Once you see her One inside (hide, hide) Some things you just can't hide
She will bury me She will bury me

Crush
billy corgan - © 1991 VG Records Ltd T/A Hut Recordings - 3:34
aussi dans "gish"(promo) - déc 90 mars 91 smart studios (gish recordings)
You wrap your arms around
A feeling that surrounds
Like liquid peppermint
Just taste the drinks that she served
And this feeling shivers down your spine
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that matters is love, love, your love
You're sleeping in your bed
Just rest your weary head
Maybe you shouldn't care
Throw away those dreams and dare
And I wonder if it matters to me
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that shimmers is love, love, your love
Your love Your love

Suffer
billy corgan - © 1991 VG Records Ltd T/A Hut Recordings - 5:11

"Même si 'Suffer' apparaît être une diatribe romantique sur la souffrance, c'est en fait une diatribe
romantique sur le fait de grandir." -Billy Corgan (livre de Jim Stapleton) All that you suffer is all that you are
All that you smother is all that you are
And you're saying you're seeing, you're saying who you are
What takes meaning is cleaning the meaning of who you are
All may say
I will dream
All may say
All of your struggles beneath your disguise
Drink from the reasons that hold you alive
'Til we're safe from the wounds of desire and pain
You must rise from the mounds of desire and change
Too late to discover peace of mind
Too late to recover me
All you see and all you breathe and all you cease to be
Taken down your only son and what he means to me
Your dream will be
To dream with me
Will you wait? Yes I will, I will wait for you
To cleanse your life takes more than time
Take what you want
Take all of it
Too late to discover peace of mind (have no peace of mind)
To late to recover

Snail
billy corgan - © 1991 VG Records Ltd T/A Hut Recordings - 5:11
All your seven dreams
Look close, son, and you'll believe
As your things come undone
See you are the only one
Flower, seize the hour I did
I wait
Waiting, waiting for your wake
I'll wait
When you wake up you're all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
What you wait for
Flower, the pain will wash away, away
When the sun shines
Climbs through your window into your bed
When you wake up you're all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
Down in my heart
Flower save the hours
Flower away
What you wait for
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower

Tristessa
billy corgan - © 1991 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:33
2ème single
Pledged your faith
my heart embraced
struggle to renew
Blurry mind
so hypnotized
fast enough who
Wonder where you are
Tristessa
Soul takes soul
as I take eye
I will wait for you
What you believe
you'll wish to receive
I won't believe in you
Hang on to your life
Tristessa
I love you true
Surely I do
I love you true
Surely I do Surely I do Surely I do (no)
Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
Do you ever wake up far from home?
What you believe
you'll wish to receive
I won't believe in you
Tristessa Tristessa Tristessa

Window Paine
billy corgan - © 1991 VG Records Ltd T/A Hut Recordings - 5:51
aussi b-side de "siva"
Window paine
Around my heart
Shadows streak
Around my heart
Do what you got to do
And say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Yes, start today
Start today
Wind blow shame
Around my heart
Shadows scream
Around my heart
What are you coming to
Stripped down to the bone?
Laughing, living on your own
All alone
Do what you got to do
And say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Yes, start today Start today

Daydream (/ I'm going crazy)
billy corgan - © 1991 VG Records Ltd T/A Hut Recordings - 3:07
aussi dans moon demo - eye demo - "gish"(promo) - "the smashing pumpkins"(promo)
live le 10/08/92 au 328 performance hall de nashville (tn) - 28/08/94 au shoreline amphitheater de moutain view (ca)
My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream My daydream
My daydream dream My daydream
(I'm going crazy :)
I'm going crazy I'm going crazy
I don't want feelings Your feelings
I have gone crazy Motherfuckin' crazy
I have gone
