Info from Wikipedia about this release:
“Rarities and B-Sides is an almost complete compilation of all officially released b-sides, outtakes, and demos by The Smashing Pumpkins. According to EMI, this compilation is ‘available as a digital download only and can be found at iTunes or any other digital service provider web-site.’ Most of these tracks can be found on previous b-side/live/demo releases, such as, Pisces Iscariot, Judas 0, The Aeroplane Flies High, and Earphoria. The release is notable however for offering the first digital releases of seven tracks that were previously only available commercially on vinyl.
The songs “Bullet Train To Osaka,” “Terrapin,” “Siamese Dream,” “Purr Snickety,” “Not Worth Asking,” “Honeyspider II” and “Infinite Sadness” were all only available on vinyl until this release. The original “Honeyspider,” as well as, the original single versions of “Tristessa” and “I Am One” were not included on this compilation, because they are owned by Sub Pop Records and not EMI.
Also, “My Dahlia” and “Sun”, the first commercially issued Smashing Pumpkins recordings, were not included in this compilation, probably due to licensing issues. They appeared on the Light Into Dark vinyl only album, which only had a thousand copies pressed back in 1989.
This digital compilation also does not include the 1989 demo Daughter, which was released as a flexi disc single which was only available to Reflex Magazine subscribers.
Additionally, seven official remixes of Smashing Pumpkins songs were excluded from the compilation. These include “Moby Mix” and “Cement Mix” from the 1979 Mixes single and the entire The End Is the Beginning Is the End Remixes single.”
In addition to this Wikipedia info, SPfreaks can tell you quite a few more vinyl and CD rarities were excluded unfortunately: Honeyspider, Jackie Blue, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, some rarities from Pisces Iscariot (Frail & Bedazzled, Whir, La Dolly Vita, Spaced), 3 more The End Is The Beginning Is The End remixes (there are 8 instead of 5), Perfect (Electro Breakbeat Dub), Real Love (from Greatest Hits’ bonusdisc Judas O), Untitled single’s b-sides Try, Try, Try (Alternate Version) and Age Of Innocence (Early Version), and Silverfuck from Earphoria.
The complete Rarities and B-sides release clocks in at over 8 hours in length, and is worthwhile getting for the fan that appreciates digital only music for iPod, MP3-player etc. We advise you to check multiple online sources before downloading this release as prices can vary dramatically.

Hey blue, all your love is strange
Come out with all those crazy names
So true when you lie
For you, blue
Right or wrong
I belong
Right or wrong
Hey blue, where’d you run to now?
Miss you since they found you out
I’ve been waiting such a long time
For your smile, for you, blue
I lay with you this velvet morning
Stay with me for a while
Where we run to is up to you
Just stay with me for a while - 3 . Slunk

Lyrics
I spin off and lose my head
Throwing stray a spark instead
Gather strength down in my heel
And dig it in the world I peel
Way down deep within my heart
Lies a soul that’s torn apart
Tell me, tell me what your after
I just want to get there faster
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t give – I unveil
Don’t want to live in your misery
I don’t live – I inhale
Sprinkle all my kisses on your head
Stars full of wishes fill our beds
She said, “I’m dead”
All this pain smothers me
Like a bomb that you can’t see
Tell me, tell me what your after
I just want to get there faster
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t give – I unveil
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t live

Well I met a girl called Sandoz
And she taught me many many things
Good things, very good things
Sweet things
I met her on a sunny morning
It was hot but the snow lay on the ground
Strange things, very strange things
My mind has wings
Sandoz, Sandoz you taught me love
Sandoz, Sandoz you taught me love
Will you tell me why
We could all learn something from your mind
She is very old, you many think she’s young
One kiss from her and you know your time has come
Good times for all time

Lyrics
Smiley, where have you been?
Smiley, it's such a sin to say
You're gonna dream your life away
Knew a man who couldn't make it
On a bended knee
All his friends were simple prophets
Only if you bleed
And he'll bleed
On his knees
Smiley, where have you been?
Smiley, it's such a sin to say
You're gonna dream your life away
Your love won't change
Come back to stay
Smiley, smiley, smiley, smiley
Smiley, smiley, smiley, smiley
And you
If I'm smilin'
Then I'm tryin'

And she said, no my name is Darla but hey Starla, Darla whatever it doesn't matter, so there you go. Never trust a girl who ends up with well I can't say."

I really love you, and I mean you,
The star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
I wouldn’t see you, and I love to,
I fly above you, yes I do,
Well, oh baby my hair’s on end about you
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
The fins a luminous
Fangs all ’round the clown is dark
Below the boulders hiding
All the sunlight’s good for us
Cause we’re the fishes, and all we do
The move about is all we do

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 - 14 . Soothe

Lyrics
Blew, blew away
But I don’t wanna fade
Blew, blew
And if you love her
You know it will come true
And if you need her
You know that she’ll be there
Stay awake, I lie here
With her and I fall
And when I wake inside you
I know you know I’m yours
Blew, blew away
But I don’t wanna fade
Blew, blew
And if you’re sad, too
Until the angel sings and touches you
Don’t confuse my only life
As it blew, and please don’t ever leave
And I will grieve, and remember thee
Hope to meet you there
And I wanna let her know
That I won’t let her go
I wanna let her know
That I love her so
I’m blew, blew, blew away
But I don’t wanna
Blew, I love you

Lyrics
Coming down
From my siamese dream
All we know
Is silent to the dream
Motherfuckers try to crack your crown
Break you open and suck you out
Scoop you up like a little fish
Make you wish for more than this
Coming down
From my siamese dream
All we know
Well, it’s silent to the dream
Motherfuckers try to crack your crown
Break your up and suck you out
Scoop you up like a little fish
And make you wish for more than this
And you come
And you come
And you come
Ooh, ahah
Ah, ahah… - 17 . Landslide
Lyrics
I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
Till the landslide brought it down
Mirror in the sky, what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too
I’m getting older too
I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down - 18 . Dancing In The Moonlight
Lyrics
When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
Should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we were steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
Father says “he’s going crazy”
Says I’m livin’ in a trance,
Dancing in the moonlight
It’s caught me in it’s spotlight,
It’s alright, it’s alright, the moonlight
This long, hot summer night
It’s three o’clock in the morning, I’m on the streets again
Disobeyed another warning, Shoulda been home by ten
Now I stay out ’till Sunday, I have to say I stayed with friends
It’s a habit worth forming, It’s a means to justify the end
Dancing in the moonlight
It’s caught me in it’s spotlight,
It’s alright, it’s alright, the moonlight
This long, hot summer night
I’m walking home
Last bus is long gone - 19 . 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 - 20 . 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

Lyrics
Lost your head
Now you sleep on the floor
What you said
I don’t want anymore
Through the haze
Make your eyes up to ache
Out in space
Days away
Through these eyes
I rely on all I’ve seen
Obscured
Through these eyes
It looks like I’m home tonight
Left for dead
As you sweep out the poor
Things we said
We don’t mean anymore
Tear inside her
Like a fallen kite
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, yeah
Through these eyes
I deny on all I’v seen
Obscured
Through these eyes
Ooks like I’m home tonight
What you said
Made a mess of me
What you said
I don’t want
Obscured

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?

All your feelings are the same
Turn around, look around, you’ll see
And all your troubles still remain
Set them down, take what you long to me
I’m your pillar of stone
So when the wind cause’ you to roam
You can call this house your home
Only you
I’ve got reasons of my own
But you might say I’m nothing way along
All your love won’t change
A million miles and a thousand smiles away
All your love won’t change
A million miles and a thousand smiles away

Lyrics
Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be
Not worth saying, seems I’m free
Not worth reaching, to anyone at all
Not worth reaching out to stop this fall
I’m on my own
Yeah, I’m on my own
Not worth being, I might already be
I just want someone to reach for me
Not worth sinkin’, it’s not worth diggin’ down
I’ve been here before, and hate what I’ve found
It’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away
It’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away
Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be
Not worth saying something, seems I’m free
Not worth reaching to anyone at all
Not worth reaching out, I’ll stop this fall
But I like you just the same
You’ve got to know some how
That I’m the one to blame
We’ve come so far along
To end this destiny
You’ve got to know somehow
That it’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away
Yeah, it’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own

Lyrics
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire
Right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues
Down to see
That we don't even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
As you can see there's no one around

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved - 31 . …Said Sadly
Lyrics
(JI=James Iha, NG=Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt), J+N=both)
JI: You should know that I love you
We should love like lovers do
And I can’t help but fall for you
Ah honey I’m just a fool
Now you know
NG: Darling, I’ll never be true
You see, for so long I was blue
JI: (I’m not the only one)
NG: And if I hurt, then you will, too
Ah honey I always lose
Now you know
J+N: Lover, when will you?
JI: I’m so afraid that no one cares
J+N: Lover, can’t find you
JI: I swear to God don’t leave me here
J+N: Now you know
J+N: Oh, you know that it can’t be
But no one else here really means
JI: (Anything to me)
J+N: If you hurt inside
If you confide in me again
NG: Since you ran away
JI: Hold me now, tell me how
Love is ours
J+N: Lover, when will you?
I’m so afraid that no one cares
Lover, can’t find you
And no one knows what brings us here
Lover
JI: Hold me now
NG: Hold me now
JI: Tell me how
J+N: Love is ours - 32 . You’re All I’ve Got Tonight
Lyrics
I don’t care if you hurt me some more
I don’t care if you even the score
You can knock me and I don’t care
You can mock me and I don’t care
You can rock me just about anywhere
It’s alright ‘cus you’re all I’ve got tonight
You’re all I’ve got tonight
You’re all I’ve got tonight
I need you tonight
I don’t care if you use me again
I don’t care if you abuse me again
You can make me I don’t care
You can bump me I don’t care
You can love me just about anywhere
It’s alright

Lyrics
I’m a clone
I know it and I’m fine
I’m one and more are on the way
I’m two, doctor
Three’s on the line
He’ll take incubation another day
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
We destroyed the government
We’re destroying time
No more problems on the way
I’m through doctor
We don’t need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
Six is having problems
Adjusting to his clone status
Have to put him on a shelf
All day long we hear him crying so loud
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
Be myself
Be myself
I’m all alone, so are we all
We destroyed the government
We’re destroyed time
No more problems on the way
I’m through doctor
We don’t need your kind

Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all

I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones

Lyrics
Say goodbye on a night like this
If it’s the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn’t even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I’m made of stone
As you walk away
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can’t stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all
I want to change - 35 . Destination Unknown

Life is so strange when you don’t know
How can you tell where yore’ going to
You can’t be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won’t know
Ask yourself
Where do we go from here
It seems so all to near
Just as far beyond as I can see
I still don’t know what this all means to me
Tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don’t know what to do
And I don’t even know the time of day
I guess it doesn’t matter any way

When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what’s my pleasure, “A movie or a measure”?
I’ll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don’t want to live on charity
Pleasure’s real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet: walking a two mile
Meet meet: meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I’ll never forget him
Dream dream: even for a little while
Dream dream: filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold
I’d build a road in gold just to have some dreaming

Flood and I tried about four different versions before settling on this one [see Queen's Hot Space album]. One version that I liked was just me and a distorted guitar. But in the end this version won, only to be mixed into eternal obscurity as a B-side." -BC (Guitar World 1/97)

I don’t look in the mirror
I don’t like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I’ll never see what you see
It’s not me
So beautiful and free
I’ll never be what you need
I can’t help it at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I’m ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I’m nothing
I know there’s nothing I can say
To change
The judgement in their ways
I’ll never be what you need
I can’t help it at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I’m ugly
Yeah…
I’m good enough, but I don’t care
I’m good enough, but I’m not there
I’m good enough, but I don’t care
The sun is out, but I’m not there
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough, but I don’t care (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) The sun is out, but I’m not there (…somewhere)

Lyrics
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
Ooh, and every time I heard you breathe
Well I sighed
Ooh, and every time I saw you bleed
Well I cried
Love is like a song
And if you sing
If you ever need me
I’ll be there in a while
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
Ooh, and everytime that I’m with you
I’m alive
Ooh, and everytime I think of you
There’s a light
And I felt it, too
In my heart is a spring
Is a well, if you need
If you drink, if you heal
If you believe in
Every little part of me is a part of you
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again

The boy, the boy’s in love

Lyrics
(Listen- Wanna just start it?…Ready, Flood?
Yeah……1,2,3,4)
Stay with me, I’ll set you free
‘Cause I can tell you once were pretty
Rose so sad you’ve lost your petals
Lost the luster off your tattle tales
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I can not betray
I need a word to say what I can’t say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Time has lost its hold on me
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool air
All the boys have been left for dead
‘Cause we go where they fear to tread
The beautiful one’s the one’s we’ll remember
The precious one’s our greatest pretenders
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can’t say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me, too?
Could you rest inside the sleep?
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
I need a love….. - 40 . 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
My reflection, dirty mirror
There’s no connection to myself
I’m your lover, I’m your zero
I’m the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we’re really gonna need ’em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?
She’s the one for me
She’s all I really need
Cause she’s the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She’s the one for me
She’s all I really need
She’s the one for me
She’s my one and only

Lyrics
God knows I’m helpless to speak
On my own behalf
God is as helpless as me
Caught in the negatives
We all just do as we please
False transmissions
I hope god forgives me
For my transgressions
It’s what you want
To know no consequences
It’s what you need
To fucking bleed
It’s all too much
God knows I’m restless and weak
Full of piss and vinegar
God knows we sow what we reap
In the dirt of grandeur
When the darkness comes to me
And it fixes its gaze on me
God knows I’m helpless
It’s what you want
To know no consequences
It’s what you need
To fucking bleed
It’s all to much
God knows I’m helpless
You break your back
For what you can’t have
You can’t turn back
God knows I’m helpless - 43 . Mouths Of Babes
Lyrics
So here we are
True superstars
We’re so real from afar and now
Now you’re with us now
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can’t break what’s already broken
Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing
The “dream” was a sham
For saving what you can’t
And now they’re me but I’m not them
I am you and you are me
It’s in the ways I walk thru fire
It’s in the ways of my desire
And when I said that you’re no good
What I meant was I wish you could
Be there forever
Be young forever
I wish you were there
So now I bid farewell
Beyond the bounds of hell
And now you’ll swear you knew us well
Well you can never tell
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can’t break what’s already broken
Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

“Run it back, Mole… (amp on) …fucker…”]
And I’d love you to notice
I’m devoted
To destroy for no one
Now it’s that time again to take revenge
On all the debutantes and their friends

The bodily remains such a bore

Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
And all I see is empty
‘Cause now I’m one of them
So adored

That money can afford
We know who you are and where you live
Is your innocence all that you can give

The angel dust was given back to the stars
Hey, yeah

Let’s see where we can go

And I stumbled onto you
As you stumbled over me
And you say the fates were cruel
For throwing us together

All the world must know
That I loved you so
It’s a pity we’re apart
It’s a shame you broke my heart
But I’ve got a new girlfriend
She looks a lot like you dear
No one could ever do dear
All the world must know
That I loved you so
Especially when you’d go
Especially when you’d go
Especially when you’d go
Away and leave me here

Lyrics
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain
We’re not the same, we’re different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

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
- 50 . Rotten Apples
Lyrics
Dirty your face
With longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart
And love her when your love goes unrequited
Where the cool winds blow
I must surely go
For my love calls me below to drag her
From the depths of my soul
When will I see her again?
The other side of friends
The darkened claws of death
The empty breath desire
Dirty your face
With longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart
And love her when your love goes unrequited
Restless in my speech
And ruthless in my teach
So vacant in my breach
I drive the dirt up her garden
Sorrow
She’ll never listen again
No other lovers to bend
Just rotten apples to eat
Just letter yellowed distant scorn
Dirty your face
With longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart
And love her when your love goes unrequited
Life just fades away
Purity just begs
Dust to dust, we’re wired into sadness
- 51 . Jupiter’s Lament
Lyrics
Gone, long gone
Blink and I’ll be gone, gone, gone
Leave this world of wrong, wrong, wrong
Leave it far behind
And although my secret’s gone
I’ll try to carry on
If I must, I’ll get along
Without you
Gone, long gone
Leave this world of wrong, wrong, wrong
Beyond the pale, beyond the dawn
Flee these mortal bonds
No one knows I can’t be wrong
So I’ll sing the same old song
I tried to be strong
For you
Why have you left me?
Amongst the tall trees
I know I gave her all I have
And I tied her heart in ribbons
Tied her heart in ribbons
Tied her heart in ribbons
And bows
And I’m gone
Oh yes, I’m gone
And I’m lost without you
I’m lost within you
And I’m gone
So gone
Long gone

You’re an empty promise
You’re an easy chair
You’re the gods forces
Struck down somewhere
You’re a secret noticed
You’re a mystery sky
You’re a wish floating
Up to the night
Medellia of my eyes
You’re the emptiness of I
You’re the reason that I write
And if you say you will
I would love you still
And if I could
I’d throw away this world
I’d dress you all in pearls
I’d give you what you wanted
You’re all I notice
In a crowded room
Your vacant motives
Unmoved, revealed
Medellia of my eyes
You’re the emptiness of I
You’re the reason that I drive
And if you say you will
I would love you still
And if I just could
Be anything for you
Just anyone at all
Anything that mattered, washed out
You’re the silly reasons
In a goldfish laugh
You’re the ageless seasons
At rest, at last

On just how to start it
I wish I was blank
I wish I was blank
I wish I could thank
I wish I was blank
I wish I’d stand up straight
I wish I’d said things different
I wish I’d said nothing
Things would be so perfect

I pray myself to sleep
I wish myself away

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can’t be late, supper’s waiting on the table
Tomorrow’s just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I’ll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I’ve journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I’m ready to return
I’ll make the effort, love can last forever

And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you - 56 . The Last Song

This is the last song
This is the last song I’ll sing for you
This is the last song
This is the last song I can give you
The roaring city sleeps
Metal fingers clutching dirty sheets
And no one comes for free
In this place where the angels sleep
This is the last song
My eyes are open wonder to this
As you hold the secrets
I count the minutes off so perfectly
The shards of broken glass
Sing the strains of a sad old tune
We’ve made it at last
But what we had is lost inside our past
This is the last song
Could you find away across me
To forgive and forget me
To appease and relent me
To deceive and detect me
To understand and release me
To the dawn
This is the last song

Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
Wishing you were real to me
Wishing I could make believe
I’ll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn’t save
Always knew I couldn’t save you
- 58 . Transformer
Lyrics
A livewire moves slow
A transformer always knows
The score is four
Leaves you hanging on the floor
For more and less and more of the blame
And she’s tired
And she’s sick of the same old shit
It’s just more of the same old same
I know she wants more and more and more to witness
To lay down and bear true
A cherry onion firefly
Tastes sweet and white
As you are blue
Knows just what she wants to do
With you below the silver skies
Don’t hate her because she’s undecided
And she’s tired
And she’s sick of the same old shit
It’s just more of the same old same
I know she wants more and more and more to stomach
In honor of her youth
She’s not sorry she’s happy
Sorry she’s happy
She’s not sorry she’s happy
Sorry she’s happy as a turtle
She’s a real live transformer

Lyrics
Ooh the bells are ringing out
What a sound
Ooh the bells are ringing out
What a sound
And I’m in love
The joy of love
The coming of
Jesus
Jesus
Did you call my name
Never ever felt afraid
Did you hold onto
Did you make it thru
You
There’s so much doubt in every heart
For all our faults we carry on
Jesus
Jesus I ran away
I got so scared
I made mistakes
Will I hold onto
Will I make it thru
Ooh the bells are ringing out
What a sound
- 60 . My Blue Heaven
Lyrics
Day is ending
Birds are wending
Back to their shelter of
Each little nest they love
Nightshade’s falling
Lovebirds calling
What makes the world go round
Nothing but love
When whippoorwills call
And evening is night
I hurry to my blue heaven
I turn to the right
A little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven
You’ll see a smiling face
A fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest
That’s nestled where the roses bloom
Just molly and me
And baby makes three
We’re happy in my blue heaven
You’ll see a smiling face
A fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest
That’s nestled where the roses bloom
Just molly and me
And baby makes three
We’re happy in my blue heaven
We’re happy in my blue heaven
- 61 . 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

- 63 . Blissed And Gone
Lyrics
The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can’t explain myself
What I’d hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don’t say I hadn’t told you so
Maybe you need me around
I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes
Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can’t explain myself just what it’s worth
It was all I had, but not all I’d need
And I can’t escape the fact that I still bleed
And if you’re still feeling down
And if this seems way too loud
Then maybe you need me around
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I’ve done my time
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To lift and scold you
To send you crashing all right now
Maybe you need me around - 64 . Apathy’s Last Kiss
Lyrics
What’s the matter
What’s the difference
You’ll feel better if you lie
With the stars in your eyes
Honey, honey
Where’s my baby
She know better than to cry
With the stars in her eyes
There is
No safe place to go
I should know
The lame
And the droll have needs
To let their feelings show
What’s the matter
What’s the difference
What’s the question
You’ll feel better
If you lie
With the stars in your eyes
There is
No safe place to go
I should know
The lame
And the droll have needs
To let their feelings show

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

Lyrics
I lie, I wait
I stop, I hesitate
I am, I breathe
I meant, I think of me
Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough
I taste, I love
I come, I bleed enough
I hate, I’m not
I was, I want too much
Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch - 67 . Lucky 13
Lyrics
It’s in blood
I suppose
Breaking jars
I’m no good
As the prodigal son
And I know that you’re mesmerized
You had a vision, made these laws
And sanitized, are we above desires
I miss him so
You are so fucked
It has begun
Revolution crawls
All over you
I was listening
You light up the sky
And scrape out your skull
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice
And we’re so unlikely to
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb across the home
Of my own soul
I’ll claim my prize
I don’t exist
I am divine
A ghost with eyes

Lyrics
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
I’ve got the tremor to stay
Because you are
I scar the stranger, betrayed
All of my senses ashamed
I will deny all that I am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
I chew the rust off my face
Because you are
I wipe the stain off my haze
Because you are
I am released, born of age
Because you are
I stare inside empty faith
I will deny all that I am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
By choosing [?]
Because you are
Because you are
Rinse the scars off my skin
Because you are
I touch the scars of your skin
Because you are

Because you are
I let the travel begin
Because you are

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

Lyrics
Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday…
There’s a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday I made amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you
Oooh…oooh…oooh…oooh
And I…
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, (soft) you sing, a truth, a lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear

I want to make amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you - 71 . My Mistake
Lyrics
We’re so young
And we’re so dumb
With our registered calculations
And if you dare
And should I care
I could destroy you
And take you there
As the spitfires begin their descent
And tragic romantic ascent
My love is one hundred percent
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Mistake, it was all my mistake
So suck me through
Your saliva screws
I can’t help myself if I don’t know
The flaws in you
That were equal to
The mysteries I’ve almost knew
And I’ve said this so many, many times
Can’t help you out of your mind
So please don’t judge me unkind
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
And if you pretend
Please try to offend everyone
We share the sea monkey disease
So give me my greatful little piece
And do what you want as you please
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
- 72 . 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 - 73 . Sparrow
Lyrics
Narrow marrow
Silent sparrow
Secret serpentine smile
Distant crying child
You’re my lost little love
You’re my lost little one
Urgent arrow
Arcane echo
My, my, my have we thrown
Together apart
And together again
We will scatter friends
Like the whistling wind
You can see me wave
Same, I’m the same
But if I did
And I meet you there
You’ll hold my hand
Pretend you understand
That I’m just one man
Still a boy perhaps
Simple silent humble human being
We will scatter friends
Like the whistling wind
You can see me wave
Same, I’m the same
And eiffel towers
And distant isles
And ocean miles
And mountain wilds
And film stars
And restless charge
Moving roaring
Soaring gone, gone, gone
And with built-in lion ears
I can hear you now
- 74 . Waiting
Lyrics
Please drive slow
I’ve never been this way before
Violence reels in the underground
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throe
To fill the meetings
To strike me down
No more a reason
Than god above
Let your curses run
Yes, I am waiting
For your love
For your love
Radio waves of a dying sun
Radio speaks my soul alone
Forget my names, erase the page
Antennas draw the passengers
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throe
My blood of treason
My tears of hope
No more a feeling
Than being cold
Of playing on
Yes, I am waiting
As I walk your streets
Yes, I am waiting
As I ride your dreams
Yes, I am waiting
Inside your doubts
Inside your doubts
Just let me out
Just let me out

Jump up and die in your blue suede shoes

Hey kids it’s no use dreamin’
Lost out and full of doubt
Shut up, cracked out

Where do we go from here

Still lookin’ for that blue jean baby queen

See her die on my movie screens every day

Lyrics
And if I fall into you all
Will my rain cease and dissolve
Some come to harm, others to grace
So let my friends fly under these wings
We’re giving it up to the sun
We’re giving it up to the moon
We’re giving it up to the earth
Giving it up from our room
Know when there’s nowhere to run
Know when there’s not much to lose
Sometimes it seems so long
Since you had a chance to refuse
We built a fire
Winterlong
Transform to iron
Winterlong
I was the first one
I was the last one to be strong
And if I fall into you all
Will the silence shatter and stall
Some feel movement, others stand still
So let the moment become my will
We’re giving it up to the sun
We’re giving it up to the moon
We’re giving it up to the earth
Giving it up from our rooms
Know when there’s nowhere to run
Know when there’s not much to lose
So why does it take so long
To find out who is who
We built a fire
Winterlong
Transform to iron
Winterlong
I was the first one
I was the last one to be strong
We’re giving it up to the sun
Giving it up to the moon
We’re giving it up the the earth
Giving it up from your room
We’re giving it up to the sun
Giving it up to the moon
- 78 . Soot And Stars
Lyrics
The words flow
Decisions made
Idea’s mine
But the inspiration not
Dreams of hangers-on
Dreams of getting well
Spells of esmeralda
Amarose fortold
Splinters in the eye
Sentiments remain
Bones are never asked
Where are we going to
It was never up to me
And yet I pushed until it broke
I love the open road
And all that it suggests
Wheelwagon dust
Weeds and infidelities
And always swore our love
Never questioned why
In a wooden house
Immovable and silent
And drinking strawberry wine
Forever lost in town
And through the sleeping streets
Nightbound and heavy
Wheels in a spoke
Just a spoken foreign sound
Know my gates are high
My friends even higher
Forgotten in my mind
Yet the scars still lingering
Cloud the blue skies
I’m jealous of you birds
Was the only truth
In a world full of words
Hear the prairie sound
In a friend called neil
The heart is pointed down
But my spirit pointed up
His voice the siren
Of greek mythology
I pause with my pen
I begin to defend
Every action taken
Every moment sealed
When I was quick
It coursed through open veins
The will to live
The urgency to move
Behind a panel door
Sealing cherry stain
I played my guitar
And lived those lonesome notes
Like a dog that’s down
In a corner just aside
Waiting to be called
Waiting to be yours
Ghosts of a machine
Without purpose or will
I’ll often speak of you
But the you was always me
‘Cause when I speak of me
It’s me I ask of you
So let there be no truth
Just trickery in rhymes
Time the only thing
Waiting still is death
I hope for resolution
Pray one defining moment
Pause without restraint
Barren without child
A child is who I was
A child is who I’ll die
A child is who I’ll die
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands

Lyrics
It’s you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You’ll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you’re the beauty in my world
Without you there aren’t reasons left to find
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
You’ll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever leave behind
In time
In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
In time
We must never be apart
And you’ll always be my whore
Cause you’re the one that I adore
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty
In you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
We must never be apart - 80 . Czarina
Lyrics
Sipping tea
Let the rivers pass me by
These dusty tears
Need no place to cry
I need no reason for the first time in my life
I just need to be on my way
I don’t want for anything that I don’t have
All I want is waiting for me there, for me there
With my czarina, queen of all that I believe
Stillborn seasons cradle our affairs
I light a candle
My lover to protect
In sackcloth and ashes
My lover will descend
I need no reason for the first time in my life
I just need to be on my way
I don’t want for anything that I don’t have
All I want is waiting for me there
I don’t want for anything that I don’t have
All I want is waiting for me there for me there
Hid behind your walls
I waste the day
If I want
All this and more are under me
I need no reason for the first time in my life
I just need to be on my way
I don’t want for anything that I don’t have
All I want is waiting for me there
I don’t want for anything that I don’t have
All I want is waiting for me there
For me there
For me there - 81 . Once In A While
Lyrics
The horses run once in a while for you
The shades will drop once in a while for you
Destiny will hide the sense of your touch
Once in a while
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
The soldiers will fall once in a while for you
The shades will crawl once in a while for you
You’ll take the waltz
I will take the refrain
Once in a while
More than a while it’s you
Once in a while it’s you
Once in a while
You’ll make it all your own
You’ll make it so I won’t
Feel so alone
And you’ll try to care once in a while for me
And I will be there once in a while
More than a while for you
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you

Lyrics
I know
We’re just like old friends
We just can’t pretend
That lovers make amends
We are
Reasons so unreal
We can’t help but feel
That something has been lost
But please
You know you’re just like me
Next time
I promise we’ll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was
Angel
You know it’s not the end
We’ll always be good friends
But the letters have been sent on
So please
You always were so free
You’ll see
I promise we’ll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep
Perfect
You know this has to be
We always were so free
We promised that we’d be
Perfect
- 83 . Summer
Lyrics
In the summer I can breathe
I don’t need a single thing
And all the love you give
Is so sweet
In the winter I can read
All those books you gave to me
And all the words of faith
Are bound to waste
Worn and torn from the outside
A love that’s strong every time
Still you vanish in the night
Hey love
Hey love
Hey love
Jack and rosemary
Said love will calm their hearts
Never any moment
Still devout
A child that can change
I blessed on the stage
I lost the changes
We give each day
Worn and torn from the outside
A child gets born it’s divine
A love that’s strong every time
Do you feel anything
Can you explain
If I change
Oooh oooh
Worn and torn from the outside
A love that’s strong as the tides
And still you vanish in the night
Hey love
Hey love (well come on darling)
Hey love (well come on feel)

With the sugar sickness
You spy the kidnap kid
Who kids you to oblivion
It’s the perfect hassle
For the perfumed kiss
He makes you miss him more than home
You love him
You love him more than this
You love him
And you cannot, you can’t resist
You love him
You love him for yourself
You love him
And no one, no one else
Past sidewalk ashes
A last lovers arc
You come apart to intertwine
It was all so simple
As you watched him move
Across the darkness in your room
You love him
You love him for yourself
You love him
And no one, no one else
And to the winding vines
The pretty boys dive
And thru the pinhole stars
Into the shadow mind
Will you lose him then
On some gentle dawn
This boy is here and gone
You love him
You love him for yourself
You love him
And no one, no one else
You love him
You love him more than this
You love him
And you cannot, you can’t resist
You love him - 85 . Christmastime
Lyrics
We watch the children playing
Beside the Christmas tree
The presents are wrapped up
So beautiful and secretly the gifts still hide
The fun awaits for you inside
Christmastime has come
There will be toys for everyone
‘Cause Christmastime has come for you
I remember dreaming
Waiting hoping praying for this day
Now I sit and watch them
The little ones I love so excited by the wait
And the word is given
Time to peek inside
Time to let the toys out
Waited for just your surprise.
Christmastime has come
There will be toys for everyone
‘Cause Christmastime has come for you - 86 . Drown

No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far
Just to see you I'll come around
When I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming around
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, "scream")
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming around
Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye
- 87 . Glynis
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

It’s the plan of most
To discover that magnificent ghost
When did I get perverted
And my innocent eyes diverted from the view so grand
Imbued with distractions
Sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying
I’m greedy like Senior Babbitt
I’m just chasing that electric rabbit
I’m a reluctant rebel
I just want to be Aaron Neville
With a crown on my head
And my denim shirt all dark with sweat
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
I’m just pushing the paint around
On advice from your lying mouth
You touched me, then ran
And left a sad Peter Pan
All alone and awkward
But a transformation, it will occur
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan
And you’re lying, sad Peter Pan

Lyrics
The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I’m with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you’re so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it’s pain
Strange
Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you’re so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it’s pain
The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you’re so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it’s pain
Strange

- 90 . The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning
Lyrics
Send a heartbeat to the void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintigrate
With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are?
And have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace
Is it bright where you are?
And have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There’s no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are?
And have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in its pain

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 - 95 . Disarm – live on English TV, 1993
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 - 96 . Cherub Rock – live on MTV Europe, 1993
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

I am one as you are three
Try to find a messiah in your trinity

Try to look for something in your city to burn
You’ll burn
Am I as I seem?

Down, so down
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life

Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn

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

TV clip: “…and you need to resist the devil so that he will flee” - 101 . Geek U.S.A. – live on German TV, 1993
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

I’m taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
I know where he’s taking me
Taking me where I wanna be
I’m taking a ride with my best friend
We’re flying high
Watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
I’m taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He promised me I’m safe in his houses
As long as I remember who’s wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
We’re flying high
Watching the world pass us by
We’re flying high
Watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to come down
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
See the stars, they’re shining bright
Everything’s all right tonight
See the stars, they’re shining bright
Everything’s all right tonight
Never let me down
