| you're right. corgan's dad worked at night and his stepmother was a severe enforcer. "Be ashamed of the mess you made" = bedwetting and is often a symptom that children with emotional problems have (esp. ones that come from abusive homes). | |

there still isnt a proper recording out there and so the lyrics are in flux. (personally, i think "Gossamer" is the best song of the last decade." quick example-i have heard: we'll buy you another sun we'll buy you another sun to love we'll buy you another sun as: Go find you another son Go buy you another son to gun down Go find you another son and also as: Go find you another son Go buy you another son to kill Go find you another son |

favorite song, but i usually say thirty-three and keep this one to myself. the heart of this song is a specific memory of billy corgan being beaten/physically abused as kid and then having to go out an act normal at a (his?) birthday party. i remember reading a series of online posts he did around 2005 and most of them seemed to totally give away a song's origin. "writing is therapy" as one of my creative writing high school teacher would say. i think it was on myspace, but the posts aren't there anymore, sadly. peace to all that can relate to this powerful-beautiful song. |
