Walking Shade

kik ass song :P

Hehe, yeah, I agree. :)

I agree with you both(MCIF1979 and Nosdravde) I still can't find the lyrics for it but for a heads up, the posted lyrics has some lines mistaken.

the song is all about his old bandmates (particularly zwan and sp except jimmy). Billy demonstrating that they are all users, charades, and bottom feeders.

In the first line of the song- he sings " look at you now, look at you centerstage?" and he goes on singing " look at you nothing face, took advantage of my fate... I'm a walking shade"

This is a blatant statement to say that they(old bandmates) all used him, and took advantage of him to maybe make money and become famous and that they don't have the passion like his. nonetheless Billy is sort of a shade for them, a savior, a helping hand. And now that they all left him, billy has something to say to them.

Billy always have something to say in his first line of a first song in an album. In Machina he starts the album with the line "you know i'm not dead!" which has a say and meaning because after the commercial failure of the adore album(i still think it is as great as the other albums) everyone thought the pumpkins are dead or dying, losing the battle, not famous anymore. So the line " look at you now" fits perfectly for corgan doing his own thing, own thoughts, being free as a solo artists.

and of course as the other corgan songs are-the lyrics sort of possess lots of allegories and metaphors. so this is just my take on the song.

I love billy, can't wait to see him in concert in the fillmore in San Francisco and hear his new album.

Loved the song and video but the lyrics here are way off here are the real lyrics I found off of B.C's look at ya now look at ya torn estates took forever couldn’t wait on words, on sound

I just want you so you’re everything, so cold the perfume of your rose in bloom I just want you so anywhere I go the chase, the bells below taken from my soul

on the 9th day God created shame

I’m out walking shade to brush these fires aside to calm the rising fight to build you a new life

should you choose I’ve picked the best for you it’s your turn and my time to test I’ll second guess the rest

look at ya now look at ya nothin’s faced took advantage of my faith and called me out

I just want you so you’re everything I’m told dumb enough to scold this tongue I just want you so anywhere I go a kingdom for your rain a pocket for your soul I just want you so you’re everything although the risk is getting close to you

I’m out walking shade the sun is going out the word is getting round that I just want you so

Hey thanks for the lyrics_It's pretty good-Billy Corgan rocks-can't wait to see him in San Francisco this july

billy is god

& for those of u who havent already heard, the pumpkins are gettin back together!!

Billy's songs, old or new, are ALWAYS great...sometimes you gotta get used to it, but then.....sigh

Okay, you have to be fucking retarded to translate this song into "Billy hates his former bandmates." If that were the least bit true, why the hell would he have worked with them on this album? You need to wake the fuck up. Get "Blinking With Fists" too...it's a great book of Billy's poems that you would probably like to misconstrue too.

okay, you have to be a fucking dumbo to think that i'm talkin about the band sp-i'm talkin about james and zwan you fuck face!hahahah in case you don't know, billy has been confessing his thoughts, not only on his new website but also on his old one. And yeah i already have the poetry book and i bet you don't comprehend shit in there! lol!!!!!
