Additional Information

Die-hard fans will consider this as one of the best Pumpkins releases so far. Over 2.5 hours of vintage Pumpkins material on 1 DVD, including the Lost ’94 Tapes. This Vieuphoria DVD’s new forgotten footage was found unlabeled and hidden underneath some old tyres in a small cardboard box in a storage locker. ‘I watched the tapes, and couldn’t believe what I was seeing… Everyone agreed that it was the most exciting and dramatic footage of the Pumpkins that we had ever seen from around the Vieuphoria time period of 88-94… The tapes are from 1994, and prior to finding them we didn’t even know these tapes existed… They are a little raw, but really do capture the spirit and aggression of the band back in the good old days’ (Billy Corgan).

There is a slight difference between Earphoria and Vieuphoria: the tease of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is included in Earphoria’s “Silverfuck”; Vieuphoria edits it out due to prohibitive licensing costs.

Wikipedia states about the actual recording dates on Earphoria:

While the information included with the CD gives the listener a good idea of where the material was recorded, a close examination of bootlegs by the more hardcore fans has yielded this listing of more exact recording dates. The “Soma” and “Silverfuck” tracks may actually be from the same venue, but two days later.

“Sinfony” is a Siamese Dream outtake.
“Quiet” was recorded at Center Stage in Atlanta on November 10, 1993.
“Disarm” was recorded at Westwood Studios in London in September, 1993.
“Cherub Rock” was recorded at MTV Studios in London on June 22, 1993.
“Today” was recorded at The Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on December 9, 1993.
“Bugg Superstar” was written for the Vieuphoria project by James Iha in 1994.
“I Am One” was recorded at Sala Apolo in Barcelona in September, 1993.
“Pulseczar” is a Siamese Dream outtake.
“Soma” was recorded at The Astoria in London on February 24, 1994.
“Slunk” was recorded at Nippon TV in Tokyo in February 1992.
“French Movie Theme” is a Siamese Dream outtake.
“Geek U.S.A.” was recorded at Alabamahalle in Munich on September 3, 1993.
“Mayonaise” was recorded outside the BBC Studios in London on July 3, 1993.
“Silverfuck”/”Over the Rainbow” (Harburg/Arlen)/Jackboot were recorded at The Astoria in London on February 24, 1994.
“Why Am I So Tired” is a Gish outtake.

Note the typo Silvercrf*** on the back of the DVD.

      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

      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

      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

      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

      I am one as you are three
      Try to find a messiah in your trinity
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something in your city to burn
      You’ll burn
      Am I as I seem?
      I’m down
      Down, so down
      Time is right for a guiding light
      Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      See you, don’t you just want to?
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to?

      Lyrics

      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
      To anyone

      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

      Lyrics

      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

      And she was my lover so sweet

      And she was my angel

      And what I've recovered of me

      I put into a box underneath my bed

      And you lie to yourself

      When you lie in your bed

      All your seven dreams

      Are closer than you believe

      As your things come undone

      See you are the only one

      Flower, seize the hour, the day away

      Waiting, waiting for your way, away

      When you wake up you’re away

      Throwing your life away

      Someday, sorry coming home

      Sorry, snail

      What you wait for

      Flower, the pain will wash away, away

      When the sunshine climbs through your window

      Into your bed

      When you wake up you’re away

      Throwing your life away

      Someday, sorry coming home

      Sorry, snail

      Yeah, live in my home

      Flower, seize the hour

      Flower, away

      What you wait for

      Flower, taste the sunshine

      Flower, taste the sunshine

      Flower

      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

      Lyrics

      I am one as you are three
      Try to find messiah in your trinity
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      Am I as I seem?
      I’m down
      Down, so down
      Time is right for a guiding light
      Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one

      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

      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?
