| The Smashing Pumpkins – The Sacred and Profane Lyrics
| 15 years ago

Terri Nunn of Berlin and Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins collaborated and wrote the song “Sacred and Profane" as a tribute to Michael Hutchence. Terri stated, “He was a very big inspiration for both Billy and me. The song is about my first experience seeing him because that changed my life. He influenced me probably more than anyone else as a performer. I became 12 years old in five minutes wanting to have sex with him. That’s all I wanted! Oh my god. Everybody did! You just wanted him. He was the epitome of rock star.”

Why the dig at Elton (“I put paid to the Rocket man”) in ‘The Weaver’?
“I was just having fun. It was never really a dig at him, bless his cotton socks. “
