Additional Information
Test pressing cd sent to Billy Corgan to check if this versions of the songs of the “last” Smashing Pumpkins single were ment to be released in the UK. He wrote “too low” behind the third track, but never send it back to the label. Instead he gave it to a friend.The single was released in this version anyway, despite Billy’s note.
Note: also a Virgin UK inhouse acetate of this single has surfaced in July 2007 (only 2 copies known so far), it can be found on this website also.
When Billy Corgan was presented this CD in July 2014, he noted on his Memorabilia Mondays’ section on the official Smashing Pumpkins website:
“This here is the genuine article: a cd-pro from Masterdisk, NYC, from the era when Howie Weinberg worked there; and as you might note, has my handwriting on it too. Where this came from I know not (unless I gave it away?). More than likely ‘procured’ (which is a nice way of saying: taken by illicit means from someone who worked for SP and passed on for dosh). Back then, a cd-pro was used to determine whether the last stage coloration and level process was suitable for release, ‘too low’ meaning the overall lever of that song is inadequate against others. As a piece of memorabilia it’s not particularly notable, since there is nothing unreleased on it. But what did catch my eye is that it could have only come from my provenance, and allows a small glimpse into the mechanical process of how one finishes a record; ‘Age of Innocence-Mix 1i meaning there are at least 8 others before it.”

Lyrics
Should I know all we’re missing
What’s to stop what they’re missing
To feel love, to be in love
All around
Anyone can hold a promise
Not everyone can feel honored
To be in love, to feel love
All around
Turn me on, hear me speak
Let me be what I need
You’re enough for me
Many times while you sleep
I’m dreaming of what to keep
To know your wish, hold it true
To slay the things that trouble you
Turn me on, out of reach
Listen here, feel me
Just believe, just believe
You’ll see
To feel love, to be in love
All around
Hold the truth if you want it
If you don’t, I won’t flaunt it
To feel love, to be in love
All around
When you’re young you can promise
Anything that you wanted
To be in love, to feel love all around
Turn me on, let me speak
From my heart, I receive
Plain happiness, just happiness
You and me
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
Around
I know your wish, I hold it true
(Feel love around)
To hide the things that trouble you
(Feel love around)
Turn me on out of reach
(Feel love around)
Let me speak all my peace
(Feel love around)
Just believe what you keep
(Feel love around)
You’ll never need to hurry me
(Feel love around)
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around

Lyrics
(Billy: ok)
(James: nice, uh, sound you've got...)
(Jimmy: ready?)
Pop tart, what's the matter?
Did you lose what you're after?
For your tears, I'm still singing
For your fears, I am ringing
From houston on downer buzz
Like you said, it's just because
You'll detonate your long lost kisses
Wished on the eve of forgotten blessings
Start your way for some new impression
Try to hold on
For this heart, a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
To this love alone
Try to hold on
For this heart's never been broken
So try to hold on
Try to hold on
Pop tart, did you flatter?
When they spoke of my disasters
At thirteen I lost my compass
But I'm sure it's all accomplished
As desires on my ghost trains
Like you said, when it rains
It pours down the back of the bitter son
Desperate for love and loves everyone
In my mother's arms no simple harm
Conspires to hold on
For this heart, a little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love alone
Try to hold on
And we know if we go under
We just can't let go
No, no
Pop tart, will it matter?
If I lose and just shatter
Will you cry, and keep crying
Will I die, and keep dying
In tokyo, with sad tragic blues
Like you said it's how you use
'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters
Our rings and maze and simplicity
When can we laugh and take all the credit
And know we'll go free
With our hearts a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
For this love alone
Try to hold on
For this heart's a little bit frightened
Just try to hold on
Just try to hold on
Just try
(Let's roll back a little bit)
- 3 . Age Of Innocence
Lyrics
We dismiss
The backroads
And ride these streets
Unafraid
Resigned to
Scraping paint
From our bones
Unashamed
No more the eye upon you
No more the simple man
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have guessed
All is never shown
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
And in my prayers
I dream alone
A silent speech
To deaf ear
If you want love
You must be love
But if you bleed love
You will die love
No more the lie upon you
Cast in stone and autumn shade
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have sensed
We won't make it home
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Before the rites of spring
Come to mean all things
A little taste of what may come
A meer glimpse of what has gone
Cause for the moment we are free
We seek to bind our release
Too young to die, too rich to care
Too fucked to swear that I was there
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have guessed
We won't make it home
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
