Additional Information
Although this looks very much like a genuine promo release, it is not. It has not been issued by either Hut Recordings in the UK or by Virgin Records in the US, nor is it related to the limited semi-official Q101 release. It has no official IFPI number on the spine also.
Another important detail is the tracks run too fast. For example, “In My Body” is 6:39 on this CD, but on a genuine release it is 6:50. The origin of these tracks is most likely from a very early vinyl rip that was pitched slightly too high. This rip was then spread as MP3. As a better rip became available very quickly afterwards, these early “too fast” tracks are very unpopular. Nevertheless, those same MP3 tracks have undoubtedly been used for this bootleg CD; which makes it a low quality bootleg overall and devoid of listening pleasure. Smashing Pumpkins fans looking for a good source of Machina II tracks should avoid this release by all means.

Lyrics
Shattering fast
I’m glass, I’m glass
I’m shattering fast
I’m glass, I’m glass
I’m shattering, shattering
Glass, glass, glass
I’m shattering fast
I’m glass, I’m glass
I’ve got a lot of tears
In a blood-stained jar
It’s been a real long time
Since I walked the fine line
You put up the walls
You put up the walls
And hold all my calls
I’ll be by the pool
Won’t you please
Worship me
And won’t you love
What I adore
All alone
In my soul
I betrayed
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Everybody knows I’m last, I’m last
And everybody knows I’m fast, I’m fast
I’m shattering, shattering
Glass, glass, glass
I’m shattering fast
I’m glass, I’m glass
You put up the walls
And hold all my calls
‘Cause I’ll be by the pool
Playing with my guns
‘Cause there’s nowhere to run
‘Cause I’m the one you love now
Staying after school
Breaking all your rules
Shattering fast
Shattering glass
Shattering last
I’m shattering glass - 2 . Cash Car Star

- 3 . Dross
Lyrics
You say I’m beautiful
Well I can’t help it
You say I’m empty
We all know I’m full of shit
Get out, get out
You’ve lost control
Get out, get out
You’re growing cold
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you
You say I’m tragic
I say it’s magic, kid
You say I’m lucky
We all know it’s in the cards
Get out, get out
Get out, get out
You’ve lost control
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you
Do they wanna be you
Bring it, jimmy
Floating
Knocked out, sky high, floating
Flat out, deadly truth
Does anyone wanna be you
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you
Do they wanna be you - 4 . Real Love
Lyrics
Fall into the century on a supersonic cross
Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss
Calling out I won’t surrender a locket of her hair
Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs
Into the dark again
To feel alive again, and wait for
Real love
Or is it me you’re after
Is it time
‘Cause it’s now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Real love
Born of the ball and chain
Into a world sustained with sorrow
Real love
A real touch we speak in
Is it ours
Or is it what we’re seekin’
Real love
In the eyes, behold and you’ll find the 21st century
You detonate her will and her widowed speech
Buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin
That held her mother’s first kiss in a nameless dream
Fall down the stairs again
To feel alive against tomorrow
Real love
Or is it me you’re after
Is it time
‘Cause it’s now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Is it love
Or just yours to treasure
Real love
Real love
Real love
We never listen
Real love will listen
And tell her of a fortune
Real love is riches
Scratch through the changes
Real love is nameless
So tired and hopeless
Real love is painless
Nobody mentions
We ever move to collect
The solar questions
Demon scorn should not relax
The laws of gravity
Real love
- 5 . Go
Lyrics
The slowest night
The slowest dance
You sway across the room
As in a dream
An empty house
With empty rooms
I loved you so
But now you leave
Go, and leave if you must know
And go, I never wanted you to know
Go
We ran away
Or so we thought
Now I know you were told to go
To know love, to show love
And go
To give love, to feel loved
And go
I fell asleep
Washed up on the shore
I kissed my son Christopher
He moved to speak
No words could reach me
But one once knew
Go love, and learn by your desire
And know love
You’re the only reason why
I’m terrified to go
To know love, to show love
Go
To give love, to feel loved
Go
To know love, to show love
I’m begging you to go - 6 . Let Me Give The World To You
Lyrics
Last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
Set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy
Tired symphonies play downward
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I’m thinking of
Let me give the world to you my love
So far
So far
So far
Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the line with soul abuse
My lonesome lines just have no use around here
New skin may hold you in
But the old skin still turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to wear
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I’m thinking of
Times are hard and we’re the last in line
‘Cause in my grief I’d forgotten what was mine
No I wouldn’t change a thing
No I, no
No I wouldn’t change a thing about the way you are
The distance here, the speed so far
So far
So far
So far
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you my love
So far
So far
So far
- 7 . Innocence
Lyrics
Innocence
Innocence finds you there
Innocence
Innocence doesn’t care
Any way you choose
The sun, and the sun
I choose
Hold me now
I won’t let go
Innocence
Innocence lets you go
Innocence
Innocence holds you down
Any way
Any way that you want
And you will be there
With the sun
And you say you don’t care
Any way
Any way that you want
In the love
In the love, we’re unsung
It’s any way
Any way that you want
Hold it in
Innocence in your arms
Innocence
Innocence holds you there
Innocence
Innocence doesn’t care
Innocence
Innocence lets you dream
Innocence
- 8 . Home
Lyrics
We’ll wander off through the dead of night
Past wastelands of shattered souls
Warm by my firelight
I peer into the darkness alone
As the Indian Summer of my remembrance
Settles on my bones
Cracked and weary, I ask for direction home
Home, let the word spill from my mouth
Love, love is everything I want
I’m one of many more to come
Love, love is everything I want
Crossroads outside of town
The heartbroken faces shine
The city lights so far and dull
Turning left I know it’s time
With an urgent wind upon my rolling heals
To carry me along
My face downcast, I turn to ruins past and home
Home, let the word spill from my mouth
Love, love is everything I want
I’m one of many more to come
Love, love is everything I want
We’ll wander off through the dead of night
Past terrors and broken homes
Wipe the sleep from under your eyes
Of riverbanks and catacombs
Sleep into the bee and the sea
I was to live this life alone
Lay down Caligula
Cry out, I know it’s time
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want - 9 . Blue Skies Bring Tears
Lyrics
Unleash the armageddon
So all the children go to heaven
I sit by quiet still
With their pictures on my eyes
You’ll draw the guns you’re given
Write down the words as written
And never disturb the presence
Of resurrection crutch
And it’s about time
It’s about drawing near
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Descend the darkened stairways
Make hate with plastic playmates
And fire out remaining traces
Of your self esteem
Mainline the deepest secrets
Lick clean the dirty fingers
I am a stranger to you
As you are to yourself
And it’s about time
It’s about fear
Blue skies bring tears
Don’t you want me (don’t want you)
As I awake the city sight
We’ll watch the seasons die
Blue skies bring tears
Take me inside your body
Blue skies bring tears
Cover me with your soul
Blue skies bring tears
To the darkest recess
Blue skies bring tears
Is where I wish to go
Blue skies bring tears
You are the sweetest flower
Blue skies bring tears
That I have ever devoured
Blue skies bring tears
I ask for nothing given
Blue skies bring tears
For nothing in return
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears - 10 . White Spider
Lyrics
Wander slow
And your kisses chase
What must I do
If only for your warm embrace
For all they take
Must you complicate
And every little spider
That crawled up inside her
Is waiting for my phone call
And now I remind her
Of every single liar
Living for the killing stall
White spider
Where will you crawl
White spider
The endless paths
Began to scan
I don’t understand you
I am, I am
Know who I am
I’m sorry you had to
White spider
You gotta get away
To try to stay awake
You’ve gotta fix your gaze
So you’re not afraid
You’ve gotta bide your time
Before you want science
You’ve gotta play the part
Before you fall apart
You’ve gotta walk through hell
Scream you’re not around
You’ve gotta strip your skin
To let them tear at it
I’m gonna take a piece
For my own release
I’m gonna shift to speak
Fuck the enemy
I’m gonna chomp my teeth
Climb on out of me
I’m going on around
Without a sully sound
Wander slow
White spider
How did you know, yes
If only which way to go
My white spider
‘Cause now I’m reminded
Of every single fighter
That’s waiting for just what she brings
And every little spider
That crawled up inside her
Who’s waiting for the phone to ring
My white spider
Which way’d you walk
My white spider
Isn’t all
I made this up
To make the scene
Beyond belief
I’m back on top
Just a cock
Out of your cream
I am the end
I shall not remain
Prying plaintiff
The end we skim
I cannot pretend
Each who collapse, yeah
My white spider
How will you crawl
My white spider
Will it on
White spider
- 11 . In My Body
Lyrics
Hold silent
You were my violence stuck
In my life
Just for the moment
And let me under you
So you can die
I was alive
I was alive
In my body
You’ll never find me
You’ll never pull me out
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream
June’s offcast
Left hiding, I form the screams
Burned alive
Wasted sunsets
Haunting my torment
Right through my clothes
In my body
You’ll never find me
You’ll never pull me out
I was alive
I was alive
In my body
You’ll never find me
You’ll never pull me out
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream
In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah
In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah
In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah
- 12 . If There Is A God
Lyrics
And if there is a god
I know he likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
And his spiders from mars
If there is a god
I know she's watching me
She says she likes what he sees
But there's trouble on the breeze
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind?
'Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
And if there is a god
You know they're on tv
They're the spies with bedroom eyes
That cower in our skies
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind?
'Cause we're down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
And if there is a god
If there is a god

Lyrics
Instrumental
- 14 . Here’s To The Atom Bomb
Lyrics
Away to the side you move your head
Gravity fingers dig in your back
The strangest man won't let you breathe
Rocking on you in a movie scene
His words fill your mouth
His guests bleed sick
Devoid of touch
He lets out to the streets where you were raised
Sittin' home waiting for the coming age
You had to wait your turn
You had to wait your turn
Wake up early, wash up late
Satellites connect you to your hate
Your patience grows but your skin is thin
The pager signals they're coming in
Through the hole in the wall
You left the hole in the wall
Here's to the atom bomb
May everyone find a way to get on
A little piece of heaven is all you seek
In the same old re-run week after week
Their faces make you want to kill
The little piece of heaven singin' on the windowsill
No lights can turn you on
Pixelate the night
Reading the words
Of your eyes on the streets where you were born
Sittin' home waiting for the coming dawn
Near the hole in the wall
You left a hole in the wall
- 15 . Slow Dawn

Length: 3:14
Additional Info: On the UK version of "Machina II, Friends And Enemies Of Modern Music" this track is misspelled as "Slow Down".
Lyrics
Midnight people
Rushing for a downtown train
Watching and wasting away
Their hearts beat free
Cool frequency
And I don’t know what it is
I’m gonna run the slow dawn
Seeking sigh, oh so faint
I’m gonna run the slow dawn awake
It’s blessed undone
The songbirds all around
And I’m not sure what it is
But I’m sure that I could give it
Awake the slow dawn
Slow dawn moves by my side
Teach your silent sleep
Slow dawn
The midnight people
Washing down here, wasting way
They’re gonna run the slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake
- 16 . Vanity
Lyrics
You can hear the baby bones
Crack beneath her wheels
Tears of avalon
Streak silent down her shield
High crimes and misdemeanors
Unfortunate attacks
Will leave you standing nameless
While she’s turning black
Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Eleanor, you’ve lost me
In a haze of wine and cocaine
Gone out and cost me
Everything I blame
Broadcast in tv detail
To call their own stories
As I try to recapture
Our best in former glories
Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die
She swears she’ll turn around
Turn around for good
She swears she’ll turn around
Turn around for sure
You know you’ll run around
Run around for her
You know you want to know so pure
Ease on that dirt road
You’ve still a ways to go
Soak in sights and city lights
While you still can borrow
Cursed fall will find you
And bring a memory
The ghost of her surrender
With the kiss of anarchy
She’s naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die
Die

Lyrics
The clever make the world weary
To pull it from its moorings
To fawn the young wicked roost
To weather the coming storms
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside now
Saturnine
How I love to waste your time
Saturnine
Saturnine
Goodbye all you widows
Tearstained underneath
Blessed to the many
Who are seeking some relief
They are inside
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside
You'll always run
But you cannot find
Saturnine
Saturnine
Saturnine
You were waiting all this time
Saturnine
Saturnine
Camera take this picture
The wreckage is outside
Quick may you hurry
We are losing our light
We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside
You'll always run
But you'll never find
Saturnine
Saturnine
How I'd love to make you mine
Saturnine
Saturnine
To the ages I am speaking
To the creatures I am sky
Bloody simple features
Everyone chooses sides
Shatter this faith broken
Walk these summer miles
Leave here while forgotten
Carrying forth this child
Saturnine
- 18 . Speed Kills
Lyrics
Speed kills, but beauty lives forever
Speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
And stood still beside eternal flame
And when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
With all I’d asked
And all I’d pray
The last rose of summer would stay
First time that I ever saw you
Crashing hard thru days of pain
You were one of god’s children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to be saved again
‘Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
And all I’d ask
And all I pray
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
Long gone, gone
The last rose of summer is gone
When I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
Forever young
Forever blind
Into the stars
We rock tonight
Last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
