I could not stand this band when I first heard them. In fact, it took years for me to figure out that they were one of my very favorites. They have a wide range of music and they appeal to both the hard-rocker and the soft-hearted senses within me. This thread is about the soft side of the Smashing Pumpkins. Didn't know they had one? You may find yourself pleasantly surprised, as was I.

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pocket full of sorrow
Run away with me tomorrow
June
We'll try and ease the pain
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
The way 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
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
Cool enough to not quite see it
Tall enough to always feel it
Always older, 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
The way I can, I will
~The Smashing Pumpkins

What moonsongs
Do you sing your babies?
What sunshine do you bring?
Who belongs
Who decides who's crazy
Who rights wrongs where others cling?
I'll sing for you
If you want me to
I'll give to you
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break
I go along
Just because I'm lazy
I go along to be with you
And those moonsongs
That you sing your babies
Will be the songs to see you through
I'll hear your song
If you want me to
I'll sing along
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
