Where Boys Fear to Tread

explosion du jeu "doom" (id software) à 1:20, 1:55, 2:29, 3:01, 3:44
aka "the bomb" sur les setlists des concerts de la tournée mcis - lives de 95 à 98
candy cane walks down to build a bonfire, to break my fall
my baby, my sweet thing just maybe we could lose ourselves this time
king of the horseflies, dark prince of death his tragic forces are heaven sent
in sweet things, in a lovers breath in knowing this was meant to be the last
a go-go-go kids, a go-go-go style
a suck-suck-suck kiss, a suck-suck-suck smile
as always, in young need a veiled promise to never die
on dead highways, her black beauties roam for june angels, so far from home
for a love lost, a faded picture to tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies
so get the bomb get back where you belong
Bodies

chantées derrière le deuxième refrain : destroy/despise/distrust/disobey/destroy/distrust/disloyal/disarm/destroy/despise/dissect/deny/destroy/despise/distrust
aka "the rattler" (sur setlists du mcis tour)
cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need come into my life forever
the crumbled cities stand as known of the sights you have been shown
of the hurt you call your own
love is suicide...
the empty bodies stand at rest casualties oof their own flesh
afflicted by their dispossession
but no bodies ever knew nobodys
no bodies felt like you nobodys
love is suicide...
now we drive the night, to the ironies odf peace you can't help deny forever
the tragedies reside in you the secret sights hide in you the lonely nights divide you in two
all my blisters now revealed in the darkness of my dreams in the spaces in between us
but no bodies ever knew nobodys
no bodies felt like you nobodys
love is suicide...
Thirty Three
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:12
5ème et dernier single - aussi ds "the smashing pumpkins 1991-1998" - "promotional videos"
"Une chanson simple dans un ton country, 'Thirty-Three' fut la première chanson que j'ai écrite quand je suis revenu à la maison de la tournée Siamese Dream. J'ai pris trois jours de repos, et c'est vraiment la première chose qui est venue de mes mains quand je me suis assis. Je vivais dans ma nouvelle maison pour la première fois, et cette chanson exprime tout cela. Le son 'cha-cha-cha' est ma boite à rythmes à travers un flanger, et ce que vous entendez est la même chose que le demo car je ne pouvais me souvenir comment la recréer. Les sons de cordes sont en partie Vocoder, plus cinq slide-guitares accordées à une note chacune pour créer les accords." -Billy Corgan (Guitar World 1/97)
speak to me in a language i can hear humour me before i have to go
deep in thought i forgive everyone as the cluttered streets greet me once again
i know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
tomorrow's just an excuse away so i pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
steeple guide me to my heart and home the sun is out and up and down again
i know i'll make it, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth
and you can make it last, forever you (x3)
and for a moment i lose myself wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
i've journyed here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
mysteries not ready to reveal sympathies i'm ready to return
i'll make the effort, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth
tomorrow's just an excuse (x2)
and you can make it last, forever you you can make it last, forever you (x2)
In the Arms of Sleep
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:12
sleep will not come to this tired body now peace will not come to this lonely heart
there are some things i'll live without but i want you to know that i need you right now
i need you tonite
i steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves cause i'll always miss her wherever she goes
and i'll always need her more than she could ever need me i need someone to ease my mind
but sometimes a someone is so hard to find
and i'll do anything to keep her here tonite
and i'll say anything to make her feel allright
and i'll be anything to keep her here tonite cause i want you to stay, with me
i need you tonite
she comes to me like an angel out of time as i play the part of a saint on my knees
there are some things i'll live without but i want you to know that i need you right now
suffer my desire suffer my desire suffer my desire for you (x2) for you for you
1979
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:27
2ème single - "1979 mix" - "the smashing pumpkins 1991-1998" - "1997 grammy nominees" - "promotional videos""La question la plus fréquemment posée à propos de '1979' est, 'Qu'est-ce que ce son 'ooh-ahh-ahh' à la fin de chaque phrase?' Flood et moi mettions la chanson sur bande, et j'ai commencé à fredonner 'oohs' comme une ligne mélodique. J'ai mis cela sur cassette, nous avons samplé les plus pertinents, les avons manipulé électroniquement, et les avons mis en boucle sur la batterie. Une de mes chansons préférées de l'album." -Billy Corgan (Guitar World 1/97)
shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street you and i should meet
junebug skipping like a stone with the headlights pointed at the dawn
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
and i don't even care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
double cross the vacant and the bored they're not sure just what we have in store
morphine city slippin dues down to see
that we don't even care as restless as we are
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
and poured ciment, lamented and assured
to the lights and towns below faster than the speed of sound
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
justine never knew the rules, hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it to see
that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess forgotten and absorbed into earth below
the street heats the urgency of sound as you can see there's no one around
Tales of a Scorched Earth
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:33
jamais jouée en live - billy ne semble pas aimer cette chanson
farewell goodnight last one turn out the lights and let me be, let me inside
let me know the way from of this world of hate in you
cause the dye is cast, and the bitch is back and we're all dead yeah we're all dead
inside the future of a shattered past
i lie just to be real, and i'd die just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening ?
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings
bless the martyrs and kiss the kids for knowing better, for knowing this
cause you're all whores and i'm a fag and i've got no mother and i've got no dad
to save me the wasted, save me from myself
i lie just to be real, and i'd die just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening ?
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings
everybody's lost just waiting to be found everyone's a thought just waiting to fade
so fuck it all cause i don't care so what somehow we dared
to try to dare for a little more
i lie just to be real, and i'd die just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening ?
because beyond my hopes there are no reasons
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 7:38
wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes
your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death your innocence is all i have
breathing underwater, and living under glass
and if you spin your love around the secret of your dreams
you may find your love is gone and is not quite what it seemed
to appear to disappear beneath all your darkest fears
i believe in never, i believe in all the way
but belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith and faith can't help you to escape
and with this ring i wed thee true
and with this ring i wed thee now
and with this ring i play so dead
but no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you
if you spin your love around the secret of all your dreams
you may find your love is gone and is not quite what it seemed
to appear to disappear beneath all your darkest fears
to the revelations of fresh faced youth no one will come to save you
so speak your peace in the murmurs drawn but youth is wasted on the young
your stength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
my love for you just can't explain
why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful, forever lost inside ourselves
the night has come to hold us young...
Stumbleine partition

lives en 95 et 98
boredoms in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny
and nobody nowhere understands anything about me and all my dreams lost at sea
jack it up judy set your heart alight
mayfait mistress of the satellites
misspent youth - faking up a rampage to hold off the real slaves paid off and staid
and what you never knew can never get to you so fake it
i'll be your stumbleine i'll be your super queen and make you
jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore
no matter what you say he'll be back for more
mommy's in the manger with the little kids
she's got her reasons, got my forgets of tears and idle threats misplaced
and no matter what they do they can't get to you so fake it
i'll be your stumbleine i'll be your super queen and make you me
come around ruby i could never sleep alone
X.Y.U.

existe une version live très différente dans "friends and enemies of modern music"
she didn't wanna be, she didn't wanna know she couldn't run away cause she was crazy
she gave it all away, she saw her baby break and in the air it hung that she was dull razors
and i said, i wanna fill you up, i wanna break you, i wanna give you up
from one another, another one should come to one another no oneshould come between us
still i was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only knows that she could never hide
i couldn't feel her, and it was just a game, cause i was lonely and she was crazy
rat-tat-tat, ka boom boom, now take that, and just a bit of this
cause i'm a watcher, and i'm a doer of none come to save you, cause you're all mine
i hurt where i can't feel, i feel where i can't hurt
i know where i can't know, i bleed for me and mine
ka-boom, a rat-tat-tat, and some good ole bliss
cause i'm a sister, and i'm a motherfuck
i am made of shamrocks, i am made of stern stuff
i am never enough, i am the forgotten child
and i said i wanna fill you up, i wanna break you, i wanna give you up
from one another, no one should ever come in between us, between us and our love
mary had a little lamb, her face was white as snow
and everywhere that mary went i was sure to go
now mary's got a problem, and mary's not a stupid girl
mary's got some deep suck, and mary does not forget
and this is how mary's garden grows, and this is how mary has her ghosts
and into the eyes of the jackyl i say ka-boom
now we begin descent, to where we've never been
there is no going back, this wasn't meant to last
this is a hell on earth, we are meant to serve
and she will never learn (she will never learn)
bye bye, baby goodbye (bye bye)
We only come out at night partition

lives en 1996 et 1997
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
and once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
and once again, I'll pretend to know the way
thru the empty space thru the secret places of the heart
(refrain)
I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
that I can't help the days, you will make it home o.k.
I know you can, and you can
(refrain)
and once again, you'll pretend to know that
that there's an end, that there's an end to this begin
it will help you sleep at night
it will make it seem that right is always right, alright ??
(refrain)
Beautiful
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:18
aka "ropey lopey"(version instru précédent "beautiful")
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
And I can't help but feel attached
To the feelings I can't even match
With my face pressed up to the glass wanting you
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
Wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like I
And I'm sure you know me well As I'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell who you'll love and who you won't no no
Who you'll love and who you won't
And I love you As you love me
(na na na na na na na na na na na)
(na na na na na na na na na na na)
So let the clouds roll by your face
We'll let the world spin on to an other place
We'll climb the tallest tree above it all
To look down on you and me and them
(refrain) + Who you'll love and who you won't
Don't let your life wrap up around you
Don't forget to call whenever
I'll be here just waiting for you
I'll be under you stars forever, neither
Here nor there just right beside you
Lily (my one and only)
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 3:31
live en 02/95 et en 96
Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
'Cause I'm hanging in this tree in the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she...?
Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won't she want him
No one knows for sure but an officier is knocking at my door
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she could only see me ?
and when i'm with her i feel fine
if i could kiss her i wouldn't mind the time it took to find
my lily, my one and only
i can hardly wait till i see her
oh lily, i know you love me
cause as they're draggin me away i swear i saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)
By Starlight
billy corgan - © 1995 cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi) - 4:48
by starlight i'll kiss you and promise to be your one and only
i'll make you feel happy and leave you to be lost in mine
and where will we go, what will we do ?
soon said i, will know dead eyes, are you just like me ?
cause her eyes were as vacant as the seas dead eyes, are you just like me ?
and all along, we knew we'd carry on just to belong
by starlight i know you as lovely as a wish granted true
my life has been empty, my life has been untrue and does she really know, who i really am ?
does she really know me at last dead eyes, are you just like me ?
Farewell and Goodnight partition
billy corgan et james iha - © 1995 chrysalis songs/cellophane star music/cinderful music (bmi) - 4:22
les 4 membres du groupe sont au chant
goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tite
may it hold you through the winter of a long night
and keep you from the loneliness of yourself heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
cause it's hard luck, when no one understands your love it's unsung, and i say
goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
goodnight, always, to all that's pure that's in your heart
goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and
your head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a night lite
be careful not to let the bedbugs sleep tight nestled in your covers
the sun shines but i don't a silver rain will wash away
and you can tell, it's just as well
goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
goodnight, always, to all that's pure that's in your heart
