Additional Information

Tracklist for this release was verified using a seller’s impression of the songs upon listening. SPfreaks reviewed the notes and suggest that the cassette is a combination of The Moon (partial) and The Smashing Pumpkins demo cassettes. It is not known where the split from Side A to Side B occurs.

The original seller claims an “unknown song” exists between the tracks Sun (Remix) and She. At this time, it is unknown if this claim is accurate.

Interestingly, the original contributor of this cassette confirms the title, DAT TAPE #1, which is present on the j-card insert, is indeed packaged with the tape (as pictured) titled DAT TAPE #2. This inconsistency presents two possibilities: one, the DAT TAPE #2 is a scribal error and is supposed to read DAT TAPE #1, or two; the package was somehow mishandled and another DAT TAPE #1 cassette also exists.

By taking one step further into making an educated guess regarding the true nature of this release, the omission of the first four songs from the Moon demo on this cassette seems to suggest they could appear at the end of the real DAT TAPE #1 – the one that may or may not exist. Using this theory also suggests DAT TAPE #1 (Side A and part of Side B) would be full of other pre-Virgin material. However, at this time, there is no evidence to support this claim, so the entry will be left as is, until a time we can prove another DAT TAPE was created.

      Lyrics

      In Spanish: “My sacred heart. I speak of my heart as if it were an entity seperate from me. I think the same thing about pain. It’s like an evil spirit outside of me that’s always with me. The pain that I feel is like a weight that guides me. There’s no way to destroy it. It’s my eternal opera.”

      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

      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

      Lyrics

      I know this room just crumbles like a tomb
      Surrender to the day that I made
      Your stars fall in
      Your stars fall in
      Don’t waste it
      You’re not simple
      When my head swells just like a balloon
      So soon I must realize
      Once my words were dangerous
      Now they just seem blasphemous
      Stars fall in
      I’ve walked in search of soul complete
      Higher than I’d ever want to be
      Come along with me
      Over the edge and over to the shelf
      Polished up and realized
      What I’ve done confronts me whole
      Looking into a world disowned
      Stars fall in
      Your stars fall in
      Your stars fall in
      (Ok)

      Lyrics

      Hands that offer
      Hands that take
      Someone’s daughter
      Taking me, take me away
      In the water
      Just like a snake
      Someone’s daughter
      Hidden up, sleep away
      And you feel you’ve been abused
      For your life, your love, and truth

      Lyrics

      My daydream seems as one inside of you

      Though it seems hard to reach through this life

      Your blue and hopeless life

      My daydream screams bitter 'til the end

      The love I share -true- selfish to the heart

      My heart, my sacred heart

      My daydream dream

      My daydream

      My daydream dream

      My daydream

      Lyrics

      In Spanish: “The surreal and suspect dream — I want to clearly remember it, but I can’t. The dream lives in me. My desires control me. My thoughts follow. What is it that stops me from killing, from thinking, from recognizing my destiny? Nothing, absolutely nothing.”

      Lyrics

      Taking my time

      Taking everything I have

      Losing my mind

      Losing everything I have

      Who do you want to be?

      You want satisfaction you can’t receive

      Who do you want to be?

      You want satisfaction you can’t receive

      Harder to find

      Easy to just walk away

      I’m losing my mind

      I’ve lost everything I have

      And I have

      And I have

      Yeah, I have

      Who do you want to be?

      You want satisfaction you can’t receive

      How many times will you leave?

      You want sati-satisfaction you can’t receive

      [and i thought that i knew who it was (?)]

      She always waits for someone
      Someone who’ll never leave
      Revealing her decision
      Her arms cover me
      My cup holds no one

      Someone, someone just like me

      Jennifer ever
      Jennifer
      Jennifer always tells me
      Please don’t be afraid
      I just want to hold you
      I only want you to stay
      My cup holds no one
      To anyone believe
      She always waits for someone
      Someone, someone just like me

      Lyrics

      Tried to tell her who I really am

      But I'm not so sure that I really can

      Well, you've got to know, I don't understand

      Well, you've got to know who I really am

      Give me one more chance

      As a child, I once had a dream

      My mother spoke something down to me

      She said, "son, you must walk upon your knees

      Down the road, headed for the east"

      Give me one more chance

      Give me one more chance

      If I had a way to go, I'd gather up my throwing stone

      Tried to tell her who I really am

      But I'm not so sure that I really can

      Well, you've got to know I don't understand

      'Cause I'm not so sure who I really am

      If I had a way to go, I'd gather up my throwing stone

      If I had a way to go, I'd gather up my throwing stone

      Lyrics

      Hiding behind my hair today
      My eyes dance with fire
      The thought of living here
      And the bounds I transpire
      Walking in this slow-motion town
      I seem to think so fast
      Standing with your mannequin
      I try to hold my breath
      The grave that bears my name
      Transpires in a dream
      I dream immortality
      Yet I fall in vain
      Cause as long as I don’t breathe
      I’ll never be like them
      Standing with your mannequin
      I try to hold my breath
      If you go and I would stay
      And you would call my name
      I would cry, yes, I would cry
      Walking in or walking out
      Is the same as talking about my heart
      My heart
      Hiding behind my hair today
      Wishing I was far away
      Walking in this slow-motion town
      I seem to think so fast
      Standing with your mannequin
      I try to hold my breath
      If you go and I would stay
      And you would call my name
      I would cry, yes, I would cry
      Walking in or walking out
      Is the same as talking about my heart
      My heart
      If you go and I would stay
      And you would call my name
      I would cry, yes, I would cry
      If you go and I would stay
      You would call my name
      I would die, yes, I would die
      Walking in or walking out
      Is the same as talking about my heart
      My heart

      Lyrics

      Quiet walls sputter yes

      Rolling tears of pain

      Must I go into your hiding room

      Using your loss to gain

      Walking in the sun

      I never fear the light

      Walking in the sun

      I never fear

      Quiet confusion haunts me still

      My will can't reign

      Must I go into your hiding room

      Using your loss to gain

      Walking in the sun

      I never fear the light

      Walking in the sun

      Il know that I never fear

      Walking in the sun

      I never fear the light

      Walking in my sun

      I know that I never fear

      Lyrics

      Your words will one day spite your face
      And another mouth will come and take its place
      It’ll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry
      I will never understand the motive drive
      Marked
      You
      Are
      Marked
      In a dream I wander on
      To the bell tower, writing songs
      So I crumple this page, and rip it up
      Never piece my broken heart to you
      Marked
      You
      Are
      Marked
      Your words will one day spite your face
      And another mouth will come and take its place
      It’ll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry
      I will never understand the motive drive
      Marked
      Your words will spite your face
      Your words will spite your face
      Spiteface
      Spiteface
      Spiteface
      Spiteface
