Lyric discussion by Love is suicide... 

Cover art for Spaceboy lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

Sorry for the excessively long post, just had to clear things up. You people will probably hate me for it, but just trying to help out. There's an odd conversation at the end of Spaceboy... On some CDs, it appears at the beginning of Silverfuck, although the Siamese Dream tab book makes it clear that it belongs at the end of Spaceboy...

 "Now it's, uh, kind of strange, and, uh, kinda hard for me to talk about, but I thought maybe you could 
 help- um, when we start getting physical, rather than having intercourse, he ends up just masturbating 
 himself, and I end up feeling very alienated and unsatisfied, and it's really come between us" 

Well, that's a rather candid monologue... [!] This seems to be from some talk show or something- in the tab book, Billy said it was from an anonymous source, and that he couldn't say where it was from, for fear of being sued. I've heard that this dialogue came from HBO's Real Sex program. In this interview I recorded from 107.7 The End in Seattle, Billy said that the conversation at the end of Spaceboy...well here I'll just write it word for word: Guy: asks what it is Billy: (Chuckles) Um, it's just this weird thing I found. It's just this woman talking about her husband masturbating himself... I thought it was funny. (Laughs, audience laughs) Its really that simple.
