Atom Bomb

MACHINA II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music (2000)

Written by Billy Corgan

Performed by The Smashing Pumpkins

Lyrics:

Clung to the sweater from the day you were born

Never knew better, that's what you swore

Murder heard you 'cause the walls were thin

In saturnine sweetness and ratio din

No boy could spell you out

In the grass at night

Beneath the stars

You grew right past the streets where you were raised

Sneaking out early to a secret place

Like a hole in the wall

Like a hole in the wall

Into the bed you hang your sleep

Watch your man as he seeks relief

You cut out his heart and watch him die

So we can know you and that you're alive

As the hole in the wall

You are the hole in the wall

No one could know your soul

Kisses and noise

Now you belong to them all

Awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes

Light the prayer candles that you remind to

Send you a boy that you could waste

A little piece of heaven to set you straight

Thru the hole in the wall

You are the hole in the wall

No one could tell you why

The tape's full of hiss

And sons who cry

To the night of the dead and the wishing ghost

Beating on you to drain morose

Thru the hole in the wall

We are the holes in the wall

We are the...

Billy's lyrics have always been great, but during the Adore & Machina periods, wow, they're just pure poetry.

It was supposed to be a joke. Why don't you go and enjoy some Two and a Half Men and I'll stay here and listen to some good music...Hater.

You would help your cause if you wrote like you had at least half a brain.

Billy is such a fucking poet man. Who writes like this today! Such great imagery. Even if you don't know exactly what he's talking about it's like you know exactly what he's talking about lol.

This song, much like 1979 just makes me want to get out in the cold night air and go somewhere

I love the way this sounds like a live recording of The Smashing Pumpkins, we all know there's nothing better than The Smashing Pumpkins live.

@silverfuck77jpm1 The turntable Eric Agnew used to transfer was 3% faster than normal, so the speed and pitch of the music on this version is increased compared to the others.[10]

This song is at a different tempo than my version?

I'm not sure why but this is possibly my favourite Pumpkins song. There's something very unusual about it.

Same goes for "In saturnine sweetness and ratio din"; "In saturnine, sweetness, horatio fin"
