“Thirty-Three” by The New Amsterdams

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humor 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 can make it last forever

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
Tomorrow’s just an excuse

And you can make it last forever

“Mayonaise” by The Smashing Pumpkins

When I turned 16, my sister’s boyfriend gave me the album Rotten Apples which was a greatest hits album by The Smashing Pumpkins. I bought a few more albums and though I loved most of their albums, Siamese Dream was and still is not only my favorite album by The Smashing Pumpkins but one of my all time favorite albums. Whatever it is you’re feeling, the album has it.

“Luna” by The Smashing Pumpkins

Another band that ruled the 90’s. The Smashing Pumpkins have had a major influence in my life. Siamese Dream is also one of my favorite albums ever.

What moon songs
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 moon songs
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

I’m in love with you
So in love
I’m in love with you
With you
I’m in love with you

I’m in love with you
So in love
I’m in love with you
I’m
I’m so in love
I’m in love with you

“Thirty-Three (acoustic)” by The Smashing Pumpkins

This has been one of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs for a few years. I started listening to The Smashing Pumpkins at a time when I really needed it.

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humor 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 myold 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 can make it last forever

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
Tomorrow’s just an excuse

And you can make it last forever
