Additional Information
Includes obi-strip. The 2 page booklet includes the songtext of Thirty-Three in both English and Japanese. As on all Smashing Pumpkins Japanese promo releases, there is a small sticker with Japanese writing and a black 6 figure number. But as the artwork on the CD itself didn’t leave very much room for the text “SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE”, it is written quite small.

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
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow’s just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you - 2 . 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
- 4 . 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
- 5 . The Bells
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
- 6 . 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
