Set the Ray to Jerry Lyrics

born to please, every simple need
i stand alone, and my thoughts indeed hate you
for ever making me
i'm in you, i'll be anything

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

come to me, let me hold you still
i'm so tired, just as tired as you
take me for anyone but me
all that you feel is never true

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

when you say that you are
forever my star
i'll never let you go, no, no
i'll never let you know

let roar these feelings
to the whore of my tears
pure as a light, poured into your eyes
suck you like the sap from a tree
honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

when you say that you are
forever my star
i'll never let you go, no, no
i'll never let you know

and i want you
and i need you
and all you are is brand new
and i need you

arguably the most beautiful smashing pumpkins song to be etched onto paper. the driving bassline propels you from the first note into the perfect late summer/early fall, windows-down, crisp air, snuggling-under-blankets-together-for-the-first-time love song. with drums that lift and cradle the melody, knowing instinctively when to support and when to drop into a comforting background, and vocal phrasing that yearns to convey the raw feeling of need, this song encompasses everything that is right in the pumpkins sound. tres bien.

this is one of my favourite smashing pumpkin songs, cos its just so simple and pretty, i just love it. its all about falling in love with someone and not being able or just not wanting to tell them. anyways, that's what i think...

I think this is my favorite song...my best friend gave me a mix of all of his favorite SP songs on it, and this one was my favorite off that mix...I've loved it ever since, and I think it's the bassline that does it for me. It just catches you from the very beginning.

This is song is soo good because it's simple. Simple is a nice change of pace sometimes.

I love this song. Definately one of my favourites, I loved it the instant the bass line and the guitar. Its beautiful.

Has to be about wanting to be with someone, which is why I love it more currently!

This is my second favorite SP song. (The first being Obscured) This is also my third favorite song, period. (The second being There There by Radiohead, and the first being Obscured by SP.)

@Cam-win you have great taste in music

At either 02:36 or 02:46 (I can't remember), you hear some kind of honking noise in the background.

It's between "never let you know" and "let roar these feelings". Some kind of squeaking...it's easier to hear if you have headphones, you can hear it in the right speaker.

"and all you are is brand new" prehaps this line is describing how some people fall in love with someone, simply because they are something different, or they do not know them properly, and as soon as they realise who this person really is, they tend to lose the feelings. it happens people
