1979 (4:27)

shakedown nineteen seventy-nine
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 guilt's and poured cement
lamented and assured to the lights and towns below
faster than the speed of sound
faster then we thought we'd go
beneath the sound of hope

justine never knew the rules
hung down with the freaks and 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 the earth below

the street heats the urgency of now
as you see there's no one around

The Boy

i can't stop, i can't breathe, i can't think
i'm in love again
i don't need, i don't eat, i don't sleep
i'm in love again

ooh, and every time i heard you breathe
i sighed
ooh, and every time i saw you bleed
i cried
love is like a song
and if you sing
if you ever need me
i'll be there, and i

i can't stop, can't breathe, can't think
i'm in love again
i don't need, i don't eat, i don't sleep
i'm in love again

ooh, and every time that i'm with you
i'm alive
ooh, and every time i think of you
there's a light
and i felt it, too

and my heart is a spring
is a well, if you need
if you drink it for you
then i'm leavin'
every little part of me is a part of you

i can't stop, i can't breathe, i can't think
i'm in love again
i don't need, i don't eat, i don't sleep
i'm in love again
i can't stop, i can't breathe, i can't think
i'm in love again
i don't need, i don't eat, i don't sleep
i'm in love again
the boy, the boy's in love
the boy, the boy's in love
the boy, the boy's in love
the boy, the boy's in love

Cherry (4:04)

{billy corgan} you gonna tell us when to start it
{flood} yeah
{jimmy chamberlain} ready flood?
{flood} yeah
{billy corgan}one, two, three, four

stay with me i'll set you free
'cause i can tell you once will free
a rose so sad you lost your petals
lost the luster of your devil tales

i need a love to help me find my way
i need a strength that i cannot betray
i need a word to say what i can't say
i need a lover, lover
i need a lover, lover

what are we waiting for
what are we waiting for
time has lost its hold on me

hatred sleeps inside my bones
in the stillness of cool air
all the boys have been left for dead
'cause we know where they fear to tread
the beautiful ones, the ones we'll remember
the precious ones our grayest pretender

i need a love to help me find my way
i need a strength that i cannot betray
i need a word to say what i can't say
i need a lover, lover
i need a lover, lover

and if you lose yourself
could you take me too
could you rest inside the sleep

stay with me i'll set you free, from you
stay with me i'll set you free, from you
stay with me i'll set you free
stay with me i'll set you free
i'll set you free
stay with me i'll set you free
i need a lover

Believe (3:16)

{james iha singing}
close your eyes until the sunlight dies
in your hand a thousand stars
thru the darkness you can see the light
and if i see your light your heart is still mine
i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song, you sing, a truth is no other
i want to believe in you, dear
on someday

there's a life i hide but i try to disguise
and i could take you a million miles away
i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song, you sing, a truth is no other
i want to believe in you, dear
but someday i made amends for all my mistakes
may god speak in few
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

and all, i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song, you sing, a truth is no other
i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song, you sing, a truth is no other
i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song, you sing, a truth, a lover
i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song, you sing, a truth is no other
i want to believe in you, dear

on someday
someday you made amends for all my mistakes
may god speak in few

Set The Ray To Jerry (4:10)

born to please, every simple need
i stand alone, and my thoughts indeed hate you
for ever making me
i'm in you, i'll be anything

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

come to me, let me hold you still
i'm so tired, just as tired as you
take me for anyone but me
all that you feel is never true

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

when you say that you are
forever my star
i'll never let you go, no, no
i'll never let you know

let roar these feelings
to the whore of my tears
pure as a light, poured into your eyes
suck you like the sap from a tree
honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

when you say that you are
forever my star
i'll never let you go, no, no
i'll never let you know

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you
