Cover art for A Song for a Son lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

the songs about how billy found a young talanted drummer that gave him hope that someday the smashing pumpkins can hit mainstream again.

This is a song for a son This is a song for a sailor The best I ever had He sailed without map This is a song for a kid This is the song for a tailor Who stitched up my old heart Who stitched up my old heart Before I broke it all apart

Billy felt disappointed that the Smashing Pumpkins (Billy, James, D'Arcy, and Jimmy couldn't all be together as one). This put Billy in a position to seek young unknown talents that want to rise and shine. After some drinks it's like you can fell what Bi;;y's saying. Freakin awesome song.
