Additional Information
Most of the tracks on this Virgin inhouse promo tape were put on Pisces Iscariot, and were used on Siamese Dream’s CD- and Vinyl singles like Today and Cherub Rock. Whirl was renamed to Whir, Apathy turned to Apathy’s Last Kiss, Purr Shnickety is a misspelling of Purr Snickety and Kitty Kat became Hello Kitty Kat. Also Bedazzeled is a misspelling of Bedazzled. Only for this reason of misspellings and renaming the tape is already very interesting. Research however proved that the 2 Kitty Kat tracks and the 2 Blew Away tracks are exactly the same… Dating this tape is a bit hard as it contains the fully mastered tracks, which was possibly not the case yet around 1993/05/??. Maybe only around or after 1994/10/?? they were all mastered, that’s for sure. It remains a 1 of a kind curiosity however.

Lyrics
Lost your head
Now you sleep on the floor
What you said
I don’t want anymore
Through the haze
Make your eyes up to ache
Out in space
Days away
Through these eyes
I rely on all I’ve seen
Obscured
Through these eyes
It looks like I’m home tonight
Left for dead
As you sweep out the poor
Things we said
We don’t mean anymore
Tear inside her
Like a fallen kite
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, yeah
Through these eyes
I deny on all I’v seen
Obscured
Through these eyes
Ooks like I’m home tonight
What you said
Made a mess of me
What you said
I don’t want
Obscured
- 2 . Whir

Additional Info: Billy Corgan on Pisces Iscariot liner notes: "Another recorded in an hour type thingers that has been in the box. Part of the Glynis lineage-sweet and sadness I've wasted all my years. I must have written that line a zillion times, it just ended up here. Sometimes when I listen to this I hear who we really are. Frail and gentle- it is what is. Rock power x 100. Note scary ending we would play that part for 15 minutes dum-de-dum-de-dum."
Lyrics
I wasted all my years
Been chasin’ all my fears
For another brighter than him
I gave in long ago
To make it to the show
But it’s not easy
When you’re alone
All your prayers
In my ears
Don’t you care
Whir yourself around
Just to fall back down
Whir yourself around
My honey little girl
C’mon lets go for a whirl
It’s still early
The sun is sleeping
She says she wants to marry me
She says she wants a baby
It’s not easy
When you’re scared
Whir yourself around
Just to fall back down
Whir yourself around
All your prayers
In my ears
Don’t you care - 3 . Hello Kitty Kat
Lyrics
Say hello before you say goodbye
I should go before you make me cry
She wants to bleed every drop inside of me
But I aim to please the little girl inside of me too
Yeah, yeah
You know I hate to say it
Oh no, I always stay
I don't wanna be like the others please
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
If I show you how
Will you let me down
Slit my wrists and die a whore
Love to love to love what you adore
I can give you anything
But please let me be your everything, please
Yeah, yeah
You know I hate to say it
Oh no, I always stay
I don't wanna be like the others please
Who's sorry now
If I show you how
Will you let me down
Will you let me down
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
My love is weakness
My love is oh so wrong
My love is sadness
My love is oh so strong
My teeth are razor sharp
My back is fucking strong
I'll be with you
But not for long
No, no
You know I hate to say it
Oh no, I always stay
I don't wanna be like the others please
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
If I show you how
Will you let me down
Will you let me down
Please let me down
Please let me down
(Song's over)
- 4 . Apathy’s Last Kiss
Lyrics
What’s the matter
What’s the difference
You’ll feel better if you lie
With the stars in your eyes
Honey, honey
Where’s my baby
She know better than to cry
With the stars in her eyes
There is
No safe place to go
I should know
The lame
And the droll have needs
To let their feelings show
What’s the matter
What’s the difference
What’s the question
You’ll feel better
If you lie
With the stars in your eyes
There is
No safe place to go
I should know
The lame
And the droll have needs
To let their feelings show
Bury your heart in a hole
Bury your heart in a
Bury your heart in a
Bury your heart in a hole - 5 . Blew Away
Lyrics
Blew, blew away
But I don't wanna fade
Blew, blew
And if you love her
You know it will come true
And if you need her
You know that she'll be there
Stay awake, I lie here
With her and I fall
And when I wake inside you
I know you know I'm yours
Blew, blew away
But I don't wanna fade
Blew, blew
And if you're sad, too
Until the angel sings and touches you
Don't confuse my only life
As it blew, and please don't ever leave
And I will grieve, and remember thee
Hope to meet you there
And I wanna let her know
That I won't let her go
I wanna let her know
That I love her so
I'm blew, blew, blew away
But I don't wanna
Blew, I love you
Blew

Lyrics
Got me a raygun
Got me an altitude
Can’t help feelin’ something’s wrong
With every one of you
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Talk revolution
As if it matters now
I don’t care anyway
Just give me what I want
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Oh, honey
Fill me with your little whispers
Still they think of nightmares
Of a generation sent to burn
Come on honey
Let’s go for a ride
Down where the crickets learn to sing and play, baby
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Yeah, it’s a motherfucker
Oh, hey

Lyrics
All your feelings are the same
Turn around, look around, you’ll see
And all your troubles still remain
Set them down, take what you long to me
I’m your pillar of stone
So when the wind cause’ you to roam
You can call this house your home
Only you
I’ve got reasons of my own
But you might say I’m nothing way along
All your love won’t change
A million miles and a thousand smiles away
All your love won’t change
A million miles and a thousand smiles away
- 9 . Glynis
Lyrics
[Hello] [speak & spell?]
Here’s a name you cannot forget
Her name is Glynis, yes
And with these tears of respect
Conforms a sadness
For anyone who’s ever lost
One who’s dearest, and the love of a friend
On our worried knees
Given to all beliefs
Scarecrows and disease haunt us all
Ooh, bury your heads in the sand
Ooh, bury your heads
So have we stumbled from grace
Are we being punished for fate
My god is subtle and great
He can’t be wounded
By the gossip and the hate of the frightened
Who took their paths on the sand, yeah
Fear that grips us all
Gives us an awful sound
Can’t help anything but ourselves
Ooh, bury your head in the sand
Ooh, bury your head, yeah
Ooh, bury your head
Ooh, I believe in one love
Ooh, I believe in one love
Ooh, I believe in one love
Yeah, yeah
(Etc.) - 10 . Frail And Bedazzled
Lyrics
Say, now listen here
I wanna be oh so clear
I lost myself
Lost I’ll stay
Between your hands and my belief
And here I am, frail
Frail and bedazzled from all the glare
Tug at my sleeve
My little girl, supermaid
She don’t know that I have
Stole my smile from a Cheshire cat
And all I wanted was to be a man
Since I’ve gave up
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
Two of us less dangerous
It’s all inside our heads
Givin’ in for nothin’ less
Leavin’ me for him
Try to understand
The ones I love and their demands
It’s so unfair when they can’t see
That I’m the boy that really needs
Their love, I suppose
Frail and bedazzled from all the
Frail and bedazzled from all the
Frail and bedazzled from all the glare
