Additional Information

This Visions promo contains an approx. 15 minutes video documentary on the career of the Smashing Pumpkins between 1988 and 2000. It has a lot of interview snippets from all bandmembers, even William Corgan Sr says a few lines. All tracks are just (live-)snippets, so don’t be fooled by the durations mentioned here and there. That’s how the database works when we put the studio versions to this release… Also there’s a short piece recorded in the Guggenheim Spain, but the sound wasn’t turned on, so we could not figure out which song is played.

      Lyrics

      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
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows
      Colors show
      After the moon
      I should go
      See you in June
      Your way
      And she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows
      Open your eyes to these mustered lines
      Open your eyes to these mustered lines
      The way
      And she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows

      Lyrics

      I lay my head on her bosom
      To cry myself to sleep
      I seek no greater wisdom
      Than she has given me
      La dolly vita
      Sweet as true love
      La dolly vita
      Cool as ice cream
      Cool as ice cream
      Even with all her visions
      You can’t even stop
      Can’t see what you’re missing
      Spinning like a top
      Fade away I want to see her
      Fade away I want to see her
      I only want to meet her
      La dolly vita
      True as blue sky
      La dolly vita
      Cool as ice cream
      Cool as ice cream
      Take it all the way down
      Forsake what you have known
      Take it all the way down

      Lyrics

      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t live for tomorrow,
      Tomorrow’s much too long
      I’ll burn my eyes out
      Before I get out
      I wanted more
      Than life could ever grant me
      Bored by the chore
      Of saving face
      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t wait for tomorrow
      I might not have that long
      I’ll tear my heart out
      Before I get out
      Pink ribbon scars
      That never forget
      I tried so hard
      To cleanse these regrets
      My angel wings
      Were bruised and restrained
      My belly stings
      Today is
      Today is
      Today is
      The greatest day
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you
      Today is the greatest
      Today is the greatest day
      Today is the greatest day
      That I have ever really known

      Lyrics

      Disarm you with a smile
      And cut you like you want me to
      Cut that little child
      Inside of me and such a part of you
      Ooh, the years burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my choice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      Disarm you with a smile
      And leave you like they left me here
      To wither in denial
      The bitterness of one who’s left alone
      Ooh, the years burn
      Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my voice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you

      Lyrics

      Twilight fades through blistered avalon

      The sky’s cruel torch on aching autobahn

      Into the uncertain divine

      We scream into the last divide

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Sheila rides on crashing nightingale

      Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails

      With blushing brilliance alive

      Because it’s time to arrive

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Lately I just can’t seem to believe

      Discard my friends to change the scenery

      It meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      But now it’s just a matter of grace

      A summer storm graces all of me

      Highway warm sing silent poetry

      I could bring you the light

      And take you home into the night

      You make me real / lately I just can’t seem to believe

      You make me real / discard my friends to change the scenery

      Strong as I feel / it meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      You make me real / but now it’s just a matter of grace

      Lyrics

      It’s you that I adore
      You will always be my whore
      You’ll be a mother to my child
      And a child to my heart
      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart
      Lovely girl you’re the beauty in my world
      Without you there aren’t reasons left to find
      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
      You’ll be perfect just like me
      You’ll be a lover in my bed
      And a gun to my head
      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart
      Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever leave behind
      In time
      In you I see dirty
      In you I count stars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god
      In you I feel so hungry
      In you I crash cars
      We must never be apart
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever seek to find
      Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
      In time
      We must never be apart
      And you’ll always be my whore
      Cause you’re the one that I adore
      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
      You’ll be perfect just like me
      In you I feel so dirty
      In you I crash cars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god
      We must never be apart

      Lyrics

      I know

      We’re just like old friends

      We just can’t pretend

      That lovers make amends

      We are

      Reasons so unreal

      We can’t help but feel

      That something has been lost

      But please

      You know you’re just like me

      Next time

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers down the line

      Lovers out of time

      Memories unwind

      So far I still know who you are

      But now I wonder who I was

      Angel

      You know it’s not the end

      We’ll always be good friends

      But the letters have been sent on

      So please

      You always were so free

      You’ll see

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers when we meet

      Strangers on the street

      Lovers while we sleep

      Perfect

      You know this has to be

      We always were so free

      We promised that we’d be

      Perfect

      Lyrics

      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 and roll
      Let me die to save your soul
      Let me die, let me die rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their metal machines
      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
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die and save my soul
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me die rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their droning schemes
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Will I survive
      Is it up to me
      Could you understand
      That it’s not yours to keep
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

      Lyrics

      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 really 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 will 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 fortold

      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 you 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 it’s no more

      Crashing down

      Crashing down my friends

      Only love

      Only love can win

      So cry these tears

      We’ll cry as all

      We’ve held so long

      To fall apart

      As the curtain falls

      We bid you all goodnight

      Lyrics

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      Now you know where I’ve been

      As you sleep, torn I am

      Weighted down patiently

      Born of love

      You know I’m, 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 through it all, into us all you move

      Forgotten touch

      Forbidden thought

      We can never have enough

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      Found below, the creatures scream

      Stranglehold, a god machine

      Begin to tear us out

      What is hell

      You know I’m, 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 through 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 cog

      The fickle fascination of an everlasting god

      You know I’m not dead

      I’m just living in my head

      Forever waiting

      Forever waiting a cruel death

      You know I’m not dead

      I’m just living for myself

      Forever waiting

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      Lyrics

      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
      Till the landslide brought it down
      Mirror in the sky, what is love
      Can the child within my heart rise above
      Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
      Can I handle the seasons of my life
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      I’m getting older too
      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
      The landslide brought it down
      The landslide brought it down
