This is the information from a 22 track tape that is kept at the Library Of Congress in Washington, DC, with an entry date mentioned as 28 December 1992. This tape leaked on the internet in July 2007. We presume the recordings are from December 1992 or maybe a bit earlier. We can only guess at the reason why it is called “20 Other Songs” while there are 22 songs on it in total. Maybe French Movie Theme wasn’t considered to be a proper song?

From the LoC’s website: “The Library’s mission is to make its resources available and useful to the Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations.”

      Lyrics

      Quiet
      I am sleeping
      In here
      We need a little hope
      For years
      I’ve been sleeping
      Helpless
      Couldn’t tell a soul
      Be ashamed
      Of the mess you’ve made
      My eyes never forget, you see
      Behind me
      Silent
      Metal mercies
      Castrate
      Boys to the bone
      Jesus
      Are you listening?
      Up there
      To anyone at all
      We are the fossils
      The relics of our time
      We mutilate the meanings
      So they’re easy to deny
      Be ashamed
      Of the mess you’ve made
      My eyes never forget, you see
      Behind me
      Quiet
      I am sleeping
      Quiet
      I am sleeping
      Quiet
      I don’t trust you
      I can’t hear you
      Be ashamed
      Of the mess you’ve made
      My eyes never forget, you see
      Behind me
      Behind me
      The grace of falling snow
      Cover up everything you know
      Come save me from the awful sound
      Of nothing

      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

      Lyrics

      Freak out
      And give in
      Doesn’t matter what you believe in
      Stay cool
      And be somebody’s fool this year
      ‘Cause they know
      Who is righteous, What is bold
      So I’m told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Hipsters unite
      Come align for the big fight to rock for you
      But beware
      All those angels with their wings glued on
      ‘Cause deep down
      We are frightened and we’re scared
      If you don’t stare
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Tell me all of your secrets
      Cannot help but believe this is true
      Tell me all of your secrets
      I know, I know, I know,
      Should have listened when I was told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there is some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out

      Lyrics

      Lover lover let’s pretend
      We’re born as innocents
      Cast into the world
      With apple eyes
      To wish wish dangerous
      My dear delirious
      To try and leave
      The rest of us behind
      Shot full of diamonds
      And a million years
      The disappointed disappear
      Like they were never here
      Kiss kiss all of this
      The hiss that we had missed
      And understand what can’t be understood
      Sear those thoughts of me
      Alone and unhappy
      I never liked me anyway
      If by chance
      Or circumstance
      We should fail
      Don’t be so sad
      Shot full of diamonds
      And a million years
      The disappointed disappear
      Like they were never here
      In a dream
      We are connected
      Siamese twins
      At the wrist
      And then I knew we’d been forsaken
      Expelled from paradise
      I can’t believe them
      When they say that it’s alright
      Words can’t define what I feel inside
      Who needs them?
      Caught with this virus of my mind
      I give in to my disease, of my needs
      To my disease, of my needs
      She really loves to break
      Her dad says its OK
      She really loves to break
      And give it all away
      Her ma says she’s afraid
      What more can she fake
      She really needs to break
      And give herself away
      She gave it all away
      She gave it all away
      She gave it all away
      We really love the USA

      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

      Bleed in your own light
      Dream of your own life
      I miss me
      I miss everything I’ll never be
      And on, and on
      I torch my soul to show
      The world that I am pure
      Deep inside my heart
      No more lies
      A crown of horns
      An image formed deformed
      The mark I’ve borne
      A mark of scorn to you
      Consume my love, devour my hate
      Only powers my escape
      The moon is out, the stars invite
      I think I’ll leave tonight
      So soon I’ll find myself alone
      To relax and fade away
      Do you know what’s coming down
      Do you know I couldn’t stay free?
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free free
      Free of those voices inside me
      I shall be free
      I shall be free

      Born to please, every simple need

      I stand alone in my thoughts indeed

      Hate you

      For ever making me

      I’m in you, I’m your 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

      Could never let you go, no, no

      And never let you know

      Let roar these fears

      To the whore of my tears

      Pure as a lie, I pour to 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

      Forever my star

      Never let you know

      Nothing left to say
      And all I’ve left to do
      Is run away
      From you
      And she led me on, down
      With secrets I can’t keep
      Close your eyes and sleep
      Don’t wait up for me
      Hush now don’t you speak
      To me
      Wrapped my hurt in you
      And took my shelter in that pain
      The opiate of blame
      Is your broken heart, your heart
      So now I’m all by myself
      As I’ve always felt
      I’ll betray my tears
      To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
      One last kiss for me…yeah
      One last kiss good night
      Didn’t want to lose you once again
      Didn’t want to be your friend
      Fulfilled a promise made of tin
      And crawled back to you
      I’m all by myself
      As I’ve always felt
      I’ll betray myself
      To anyone, lost, anyone but you
      So let the sadness come again
      On that you can depend on me, yeah
      Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
      When god sleeps in bliss
      And I’m all by myself
      As I’ve always felt
      And I’ll betray myself
      To anyone

      Lyrics

      And on her doorstep

      I saw that I was blind

      I'd forsaken

      What was mine

      What had mattered

      Mattered little now

      We had shattered

      Apart somehow

      Ooh

      I can't help but stay the same

      I remain true to my name

      Time to get up

      And take the long walk home

      For the first time

      I go alone

      Do you remember

      When we first met?

      Chasing down the alleyways

      Behind my dad's

      Ooh

      I can't help but stay the same

      I remain true to the name

      Of lovers past

      Good enough to lose

      Good enough to choose you, too

      Ooh

      I can't help but stay the same

      Ooh

      I remain true to the name

      Of lovers past

      Good enough to lose

      Good enough to choose you, too

      Lyrics

      Faith lies in
      The ways of sin
      I chased the charmed
      But I don’t want them anymore
      And in their eyes I was alive
      A fool’s disguise
      Take me away from you
      Shame my tongue
      Fat with promise all along
      But when I woke up from that sleep
      I was happier than I’d ever been
      When you decide
      That your life is a prize
      Renew and revive
      It’s alright honey
      It’s alright, yeah
      Happiness will make you wonder
      Will I feel OK?
      It scares the disenchanted
      Far away
      Yeah I want something new
      But what am I supposed to do about you
      Yeah I love you, it’s true
      Life’s a bummer
      When you’re a hummer
      Life’s a drag
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Do you feel
      Love is real?

      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

      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

      Additional Info: Kinda uncertain if this track was recorded in the Triclops Sound Studios, however Jesse Miller (Smashing Pumpkins Recordings History, 2000) mentions it. There might be a mix-up with the Quiet, & 20 Other Songs "release". We list it anyway for reference and further research.

      Sweet sweet sweet sweet little agony
      I don’t know just where you’ve been
      But I’ll take take take
      All that you have for me
      In sin
      Where are we going?
      And they all want you to change
      And they all want you to change
      And the sad sad sad
      All the sad faces drown
      In this town
      Where are we going?
      And they all want you to change
      Where are we going?
      And they all want you to change
      Where are we going?

      Lyrics

      Fool enough to almost be it
      Cool enough to not quite see it
      Doomed
      Pick your pockets full of sorrow
      And run away with me tomorrow
      June
      We’ll try and ease the pain
      But somehow we’ll feel the same
      Well, no one knows
      Where our secrets go
      I send a heart to all my dearies
      When your life is so, so dreary
      Dream
      I’m rumored to the straight and narrow
      While the harlots of my perils
      Scream
      And I fail
      But when I can, I will
      Try to understand
      That when I can, I will
      Mother weep the years I’m missing
      All our time can’t be given
      Back
      Shut my mouth and strike the demons
      That cursed you and your reasons
      Out of hand and out of season
      Out of love and out of feeling
      So bad
      When I can, I will
      Words defy the plans
      When I can, I will
      Fool enough to almost be it
      And cool enough to not quite see it
      And old enough to always feel this
      Always old, I’ll always feel this
      No more promise no more sorrow
      No longer will I follow
      Can anybody hear me
      I just want to be me
      When I can, I will
      Try to understand
      That when I can, I will
