The Everlasting Gaze

"Cela a beaucoup à voir avec la spiritualité et la tentative de trouver ma place dans l'univers et une sorte d'acceptation bossue des limites et les choses avoir lesquelles on m'a honoré. C'est plus d'une vue humaniste du monde. Je n'écris plus pour l'adolescent torturé--que moi et n'importe qui d'autre écoutaient. J'écris avec l'idée que tous éprouvent ces choses tout le temps, et même s'ils ne les éprouvent pas personnellement, ils sont touchés par elles." -Billy Corgan
     You know I'm not dead  (x4)
  Now you know where I've been  As you sleep  Torn I am
  Weighted down  Patiently  Born to love
     You know I'm not dead  I'm just living in my head  Forever waiting 
     On the ways of your desire  You always find a way 
     And thru it all  Into us all you move  Forgotten touch Forbidden thought
     We can never have enough  You know I'm not dead (x4) 
  Found below  The creatures scream  Stranglehold
  A god machine  Begging to  Tear us out  Worn as hope
     You know I'm not dead I'm just the tears inside your head  Forever waiting 
     On the ways of your desire  You always find a way 
     And thru it all into us all you move  Forgotten touch  Forbidden thought
     We can never have enough  You know I'm not dead
        We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
        Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
        But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g.
        The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
     You know I'm not dead  I'm just living in my head 
     Forever waiting  Forever waiting on cruel death
     You know I'm not dead  I'm just living for myself 
     Forever waiting  You know I'm not dead...

Raindrops + Sunshowers
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:45
 Rain falls on everyone The same old rain
 And I'm just trying to walk with you Between the raindrops
  I send my echo out to get your love without obscured reflections of my love
 Rain falls on everyone The same old rain
 And I'm just trying to walk with you Between the raindrops 
  I'll save a prayer for you so lost and longing to be dragged thru dirty streets 
  wrapped up in clean white sheets And if you think they'll watch you now you should know they won't
 Rain falls on everyone The same old rain
 And I'm just trying to walk with you Between the raindrops 
 and I'm just trying to walk with you Between the raindrops 
  I send my echo out to get your love without obscured reflections of my secret love
  Force down the words about to get your love without obscured reflections of my love
 And I'm just trying to talk you between the raindrops
 Rain falls on everyone  The same old rain
 And I'm just trying to walk with you between the raindrops
 Rain falls on everyone  The same old rain
 And I'm just trying to walk with you between the raindrops
                                                 And I'm just trying to walk with you between the raindrops

Stand Inside Your Love
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:13
  2ème single - nov 98 oct 99 chicago recording company

"Eh bien, 'Stand Inside Your Love' est une de ces rares chansons qui semblent s'écrire elles-mêmes vraiment vite. Aussi loin que la chanson va, c'est une sorte de chanson d'amour qui rocke, ce qui est plutôt rare, même pour moi. Et j'ai même ma petite amie qui dance dans la vidéo, alors c'est tout un hommage à ma petite amie, je pense."
  You and me meant to be immutable, impossible
  It's destiny, pure lunacy, incalculable, insufferable
     But for the last time You're everything that I want and ask for
     You're all that I'd dreamed
     Who wouldn't be the one you love
     Who wouldn't stand inside your love
     Protected and the lover of 
  A pure soul and beautiful you
  Don't understand, don't feel me now, I will breath for the both of us 
  Travel the world, traverse the skies, your home is here within my heart
     And for the first time I feel as though I am reborn
     In my mind, recast as child and mystic sage
     Who wouldn't be the one you love
     Who wouldn't stand inside your love
     And for the first time I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for your every move and waking sound In my time I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind you're mine forever now
     Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
     Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
     Who wouldn't be the one you love

I of the Mourning
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:34
  3ème single

  radio  play my favourite song  radio  radio  radio  I'm alone  radio  radio  please don't go
  I peer thru curtains on empty streets  behind a wall of caller i.d. 
  no one's out there to hear if i care  about the troubles in the air 
     as I of the morning now come
     pick up where my thoughts left off  cause I'm home to die on my own
     as my radio  plays my favourite song  radio  radio  radio  don't you know  radio  radio
     that radio  I'm alone 
  I blow the dust off my guitars  in the attic with the stars
  I read your letters to feel better  my tears upon the fading ink
     as I of the mourning now gone 
     pick up where my thoughts left off  cause I'm home to die on my own
     as my radio  plays my favourite song  radio  radio  radio  I'm alone
     radio  radio  radio  please don't go 
  I sit in the dark of the light to wait for ghost night
  to bring the past alive  to make a toast to life  cause I have survived 

  what is you want  what is it you want to change  what is it you want  what is it you want to change  what is it you want to change  radio... 

The Sacred and Profane

  live en 08/ 10/ et 11/2000

  give me tears  give me love  let me rest  lord above 
  send the bored  your restless the feedback scarred  devotionless
     you're all a part of me now  and if i fall  you're all a part of me now in the sun
     you're all a part of me now  you're all a part of me now
       will our love ever be enough  just in time to prove
      will our words ever be enough  just in time to lose 
  give me sight  and barren breast pure snow  and happiness 
  give me time  give me peace  and  i will prove  my release 
     you're all a part of me now  and if i fall  you're all a part of me now  trapped in the sun
     you're all a part of me now  you're all a part of me now 
       will our love ever be enough  just in time to prove
       will our time ever be enough  will our love ever be enough
     you're all a part of me now  and if i fall  you're all a part of me now  in the sun
     you're all a part of me now  you're all a part of me now
     you're all a part of me now  and if i fall
     you're all a part of me now  trapped in the sun  you're all a part of me now
       will our love ever be enough  just in time to prove

Try, Try, Try
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 5:08
  4ème single - autre version ds machina II

  pop tart - what's our mission - do you know - but never listen -
  for too long - they held me under - but i hear - it's almost over -
  in detroit, on a memphis train, like you say it's 
 down in the heat and the summer rain of the automatic gauze of your memories, down in the sleep at the airplane races
     try to hold on to this heart a little big longer - try to hold on to this love aloud
     try to hold on for this heart's a little bit colder - try to hold on to this love
 paperback scrawl you hidden poems written around the dried out flowers here we are still trading places - try to hold on
  pop tart - can you envision - a free world - of clear division -
  for too long - they held us under - but i know - we're getting over -
  in detroit, with the nashville tears, like you said it's
 down in the heat with the broken numbers, down in the gaze of solemnity, down in the way you've held together
     try to hold on to this heart a little bit closer - try to hold on to this love aloud
     try to hold on for this heart's a little bit older - try to hold on to this love aloud
     and we are still alive - try to hold on - and we have survived - try to hold on - and no one should deny - we tried to hold
 onto the pulse of the feedback current, into the flow of encrypted movement, slapback kills the ancient remnants, that try..
     try to hold on to this heart alive - try to hold on to this love aloud
     try to hold on and we are still alive - try to hold on and we have survived - try to hold on
  pop tart - you never listen - skinned knees - try to hold on -
  stop start - what's our mission - skinned knees - try to hold on -

Heavy Metal Machine

  aussi ds machina II - "heavy metal machine"(promo) - "friends & enemies of modern music"

  If I were alive  If I were real  Would you survive  What would you feel
     Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine  Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine
     As sentimental  As our broken dreams
     Let me die for rock'n'roll - Let me die to save my soul - Let me die Let me die  Rock'n'roll
     Let the world forgive the past  Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
     Let me go Let me go R'n'R
     Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine  Heavy Metal A Heavy Metal Machine
     We're the Metal in their Metal Machine  Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine
  If I were dead  Would my records sell  Could you even tell  Is it just as well
     Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine  It's elemental to all the rust it brings
     Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine
     (refrain "Let me" avec "Let me go..." entre deux)
     Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine  Heavy Metal A Heavy Metal Machine
     We're the Metal in their Droning Schemes  Will I survive Is it up to me
     Could you understand that it's not yours to keep  Heavy Metal Heavy Metal Machine

This Time
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:43
  This time I need to know, I really must be told  if it's over, it's up to you you know
  The things you want to hold are in pieces
     crashing down  crashing down again  crashing down  crashing down my friends
  I've got to move it on, I've got to sing my song  while I still can dispatch the last alarms
  Hand out the last few charms, there's no surprises 
     only love, only love can win  crashing down crashing down again 
     only love, yeah only love can win  crashing down crashing down again
  This time I need to know, I really must be told that it's over
  I've lived my life alone, my every step foretold
  To never linger and yet it haunts me so, what are we letting go, our spell is broken
     crashing down crashing down my friends crashing down crashing down again
     only love  yeah only love will be enough  yeah only love will win
  For every chemical  you trade a piece of your soul with no return  and who think you know
  Doesn't know you at all, their drain is needless, someday we'll wave hello 
  and wish we'd never waved goodbye to this romance,
  we'll drink up every line and shoot up every word
  till there's no more
     crashing down crashing down my friends  only love only love can win
     so cry these tears we'll cry at all, we've held so long
     to fall apart as the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight

The Imploding Voice
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:24
  version studio de virex - lives en avril 99 - 02/03/00 à providence et 02/07/00 à tokyo

  everywhere you are  is everywhere you've been
  just lost to the beat  punching thru your skin
  you don't know what to do  but still you wanna crawl
  all thru the broken glass  that's everywhere you are
   your love must always be true - your love must always be you
     everywhere you are  anywhere you go
     even if you're starved
     it matters what you do  but even if you’ve gone too far
     you can follow you  everywhere you are
  and in your mind  you were alone  all this time
   with everything you were  and every smile you wore
   still locked in your heart
   everywhere you are  everywhere you are  every single chard
     everywhere you are  you're never too far
     ’cause anywhere you'd go  even to the stars
     all you have to do  is play the part of who you are  the rest is up to you
   phase unwound by yourself  atom bomb  on the shelf unsung  pause of light  pulse of life  new face dawns
  everywhere you are  and everywhere you go
  even if you’re down  even if you're low
  it's in the thought of you  it's in the eyes of all
  astride a storied past  that's everywhere you are
   your love must always be true - your love must always be you
     everywhere you are  anywhere you go
     even if you're scarred
     it's all a part of you but ever should you put it down  you can never lose me
   everywhere you are everywhere you are..

Glass and the Ghost Children
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 9:54
  au milieu du morceau, extraits de le deux machina

  to the center of the Earth or anywhere God decides
  for the fever pulling forth  we hear our call as all
  to the center of the Earth, as if written in
  DNA is reaching out to your frequency
     i want to live  don't want to die  i want to live  i want to try
  all in prayer, prayer in all
  all are scared, scared of all
  black rooms are calling to men in leather coats
  white labs are cooking up the silver ghost
  the glass migrates under her translucent skin
  and all the spiders wonder what we've got us in

  all is you, you are all
  all with you, you in all
      i want to live  i don't want to die  i want to live  i want to try

(segment with billy talking to a psychologist):
"so it's all very obtuse because it's like all like...like, i don't know...it's like i started thinking that everything i operate on is based on what i believe god is telling me to do...that could be my intuition or whatever, but i always assumed - i always assumed that the voice that i hear is the voice of god...then i started thinking, 'what if i am insane?' so i'm operating on the premise that i am hearing the voice of god or what i perceive god to be speaking to me or through me, but maybe i'm completely...so all my kind of demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance, my thought of it...based on the fact that i believe that i'm following my intuition, which, in and of itself, may be completely false...so then i started freaking out, thinking...that you've got this totally insane creature who believes that he's acting upon kind of heavenly intuition but meanwhile, he's totally rampant...and i started thinking maybe this is the cause of all the negativity..."
(part 2 of the song: The Ghost Children):
  so beats the final coda of our vinyl storm
  one more cherry cola to lift up her dead arms
  a dream soft focus sunsets filters thru the din
  we are losing contact as she dials it in
  she can hear Glass calling or is it someone that looks like him
  she eyes TV reflection and nods a knowing look
  she says it doesn't matter, she never liked her looks
  i have seen a thousand fractures, i have seen everything
  cause knowing is its own answer, love something in a book
  there's not much left to ponder, not much left to cook
     as she counted the spiders - as they crawled up inside her
     as she counted the spiders - as they crawled up inside her
     as she counted the spiders - as they crawled up inside her
     as she counted the spiders - as they crawled up inside her
     as she counted the spiders - as they crawled up inside her
     as she counted the spiders

Wound
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:02
  aka "if you wait (acoustic demo)"

  there you are as you always were
  in bathing light and naked blur
  you're a part of me, eternal one
  by grand design and setting sun
   if you wait i will wait - taste i will taste
   if you love i will love - run i will run to my last breath
     last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning
     inside the strangest dream a life unloved and cities burning
  awake in my arms, you cry unharmed
  our age of the hours while they still devour all
  so take it all, i doubt if we will know it's gone
  cause we've been here since time began
  begged god awake and made these plans
  wound opens reveal this broken man
  as soon there's notions of blood on his hands
   if you wait i will wait - taste i will taste
   if you love i will love - run i will run to my last breath
     last night i turned around i thought i saw myself turning
     last night i turned around and thought i watched the world ending
     inside the crushing down i felt a pang the tide was turning
  destroyed in the wake the jealous ingrates
  who'll tear this world down to spite god above
  with his own love with his own love
  if you wait if you wait
   if you wait i will wait - taste i will taste
   if you love i will love - run i will run to my last breath

The Crying Tree of Mercury
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 3:44
  aka "slow song", "the mercury tree" - nov 98 oct 99 chicago recording company - aussi ds "machina"(promo)

  This is the song I've been singing my whole life
  I've been waiting like a knife  to cut open your heart  and bleed my soul to you
     I did it all for you   you and you and you and you
  This is the sound I've been making my whole life
  I've been waiting for this night  to clear up all the talk  although 
  I'm selfish to a fault  Is it selfish it's you I want
     You I did it all for you 
     This love  will stand as long as you  There's really no excuse 
     I did it all for you
  These are the tears I've been crying my whole life
  Like an ocean of desire  I'm reaching thru the noise
  Across the dusk of time  within the lilting lies 
     I am singing out to you

With Every Light
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 3:54
  piano : mike garson

  taking over  we're taking over  throw the weight up off you shoulders now
  that we can show our love
  it's almost over  it's almost over  no more war and no more soldiers
  to stand against his love
   away with all the troubles that you've made  away with waiting for another day  away
     look ma the sun is shining on me  impatient, in love and aching to be
     could you believe in heaven if heaven was all you had
  we're taking over  we're taking over  throw away your four leafed clovers
  and stand beside this love
   away with everything you've grown to hate  away with anything that holds you safe  away
   and every light I've found is every light that's shining down on me...  I'm never alone
     look ma the sun is shining on me  taking my time to do as I please
     could you believe in heaven if heaven was all you had
  the sun is beaming, radiating  all the love we are creating
   and every light I've found is every light that's shining down on me...  I'm never alone

Blue Skies Bring Tears
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 5:43
  autre version dans "friends and enemies of modern music"

  unleash the armageddon, so all the children go to heaven
  i sit by quiet, still, with their pictures on my eyes
  you'll draw the guns you’re given, write down the words as written
  and never disturb the presence of resurrection crutch
     and it's about time - it's about drawing near
     blue skies bring tears - blue skies bring tears
  descend the darkened stairways, make hate with plastic playmates
  and fire out remaining traces of your self esteem
  mainline the deepest secrets, lick clean the dirty fingers
  i am a stranger to you as you are to yourself
     and it's about time - it's about fear
     blue skies bring tears
  don't you want me  as i awake the city sigh  we'll watch the seasons die
     blue skies bring tears
  take me inside your body, cover me with your soul
  to the darkest recess is where i wish to go
  you are the sweetest flower i have ever devoured
  i ask for nothing given, for nothing in return
     blue skies bring tears...

Age of Innocence
  billy corgan - © 1999 faust's haws music/universal music publishing - 4:01
  we dismiss the backroads to ride these streets unafraid
  resigned to scraping paint from our bones unashamed
   no more the eye upon you - no more the simple man
     desolation yes - hesitation no
     desolation yes - hesitation no
     as you might have guessed all is never shown
     desolation yes - hesitation no
  and in my prayers i dream alone, a silent speech to deaf ear
  if you want love, you must be love, but if you bleed love, you will die loved
   no more the lie upon you - cast in stone and autumn shade
     desolation yes - hesitation no
     desolation yes - hesitation no
     as you might have sensed we won't make it home
     desolation yes - hesitation no
  before the rites of spring, come to mean all things
  a little taste of what may come
  a mere glimpse of what has gone
  cause for the moment we are free, we seek to bind our release
  too young to die, to rich to care, too fucked to swear that i was there

     desolation yes - hesitation no
     desolation yes - hesitation no
     as you might have guessed we won't make it home
     desolation yes - hesitation no
