1979

(the-smashing-pumpkins.com)

 Is this really the end? The vibe of a whole era is on   trial. The 90's upheaval ... (read more downstairs)

 ... (as I'd like to call it), the last time you were allowed to be free.. Feel.. Misfit youth, underrated and wasted. These years will never come back.. Still we wait and wait for something to come, something that we don't know what it is, but we are absolutely sure it is what we need.. But is it really what we want?
END: Emotions Never Die.

"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 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
As you see there's no one around"
