Additional Information

“MACHINA II/the Friends & Enemies of Modern Music” is the Pumpkins’ final album, the followup to “MACHINA/the Machines of God”. It is a limited pressing of only 25 (twenty-five) copies on hand-cut, hand-numbered, non-lacquered acetate (aka vinyl, aka records), consisting of 3 10″ EPs and a double 12″ LP, 5 discs & 25 songs total. The 25 copies were given to close friends of the band, a few of whom happen to be online, and whom were instructed to circulate the new material as quickly as possible, since the band plans on playing some of the new material on the European tour.

(Info from the year of release, taken from the “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for MACHINA II/the Friends & Enemies of Modern Music”, found on www.SPFC.org)

The vinyl set was 2 times for sale so far, both from the same seller in the US. The first time in 2005, the set hit 10,000 US$, the auction was then stopped by the seller, but the buyer chickened out and it was not offered to the second-highest bidder. The second time, in 2012, the same seller tried again. The set hit 8,100 US$ with still almost 1 day left for bidding, but the listing was suddenly ended again. Now the seller noted “Sorry but I had to pull this listing … Even though I obtained this item legitimately I didnt realize that Billy Corgan would have a problem with the selling of it. I dont want to upset him. I didnt realize it would be such a big deal.”

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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
