This is the information from a 15 track tape that is kept at the Library Of Congress in Washington, DC, with an entry date mentioned as 22 December 1994. We presume at the moment the recordings are from December 1992 or maybe a bit earlier (same as the Quiet, & 20 Other Songs tape). In 1994 Soma was still listed in the tracks, but in 1996 Billy Corgan corrected this with a so-called “Statement of incorrect inclusion of a contents title”. Since then Soma is left out. A tape like this was also send to Virgin Records at the end of 1992, to show the demos for “Album II”, which is of course Siamese Dream. We set this tape to December 1992, same month as “Quiet, & 20 Other Songs” which was already registered at LoC at 1992/12/28. We can only guess the reason why this tape was registered at LoC only by 1994…
Note from our contributor:
“It is my guess that this tape was made as a splice/dub job from QA20OS and was the version actually fished to labels.”
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 - 2 . 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) - 3 . Cherub Rock
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 - 4 . Suicide Kiss

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 - 5 . Today
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 - 6 . Disarm
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 - 7 . Rocket
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 - 8 . Spaceboy

Lyrics
Feel it
Break your bones
Mr. Jones
Taste me
As I bleed
Taste my need
And spaceboy I’ve missed you
Spinning round my head
And any way you choose me
You’ll break instead
Watch me
Death defy
Defile my life
I don’t need
I don’t care
Please
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
‘Cause when a lover aches
That’s when a lover breaks
I want to go home
I want to go home
And spaceboy they’ll kill me
Before I’m dead and gone
And any way you choose me
It won’t be wrong
And anyway you choose me
We won’t belong
We won’t belong
We won’t belong
We won’t belong
We won’t belong
We won’t belong - 9 . Set The Ray To Jerry
Lyrics
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
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
Never let you know
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

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 - 11 . Doorstep

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
- 12 . Pissant
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

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.
Lyrics
- 14 . Hummer
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? - 15 . French Movie Theme
