Crush
vs.
Blank Page



"Crush"

You wrap your arms around
A feeling that surrounds
Like liquid peppermint
Just taste the drinks that she sent
And this feeling shivers down your spine
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that matters is love, love, your love
You're sleeping in your bed
Just rest your weary head
Maybe you shouldn't care
Throw away those dreams and dare
And I wonder if it matters to me
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that shimmers is love, love, your love
Your love
Your love

"Blank Page"

Blank page was all the rage
Never meant to say anything
In bed I was half dead
Tired of dreaming of rest
Got dressed, drove the state line
Looking for you at the five and dime
Stop sign told me stay at home
Told me you were not alone
Blank page was all the rage
Never meant to hurt anyone
In bed I was half dead
Tired of dreaming of rest
You haven't changed, you're still the same
May you rise as you fall
You were easy, you are forgotten
You are the ways of my mistakes
I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof
That you had left behind
You remind me of that leak in my soul
The rain falls, my friends call
Leaking rain on the phone
Take a day, plant some trees
May they shade you from me
May your children play beneath
Blank page was all the rage
never meant to say anything
in bed I was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
Got dressed, drove the state line
Looking for you at the five and dime
But there I was picking pieces up
You are a ghost of my indecision
No more, little girl

[Her]

Uh, Blank Page

[keija]

crush.

[oryann]

YOUCH, this one is a TOUGHY.

I gotta go with Blank Page, just for its sheer heart-wrenching, painful lyrics. Some of the most depressing lyrics ever written.

Crush was always one of my favorites though, def my favorite on Gish, and lyrically is amazing. But Blank Page's brutal honesty gets my vote.

[Gr3g3]

Blank Page!!

Crush, easily!

Beautiful
vs.
Speed Kills



"Beautiful"

Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
And I can't help but feel attached
To the feelings I can't even match
With my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
Wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like I
And I'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell
Who you love and who you won't
And I love you, as you love me
So let the clouds roll by your face
We'll let the world spin on to another place
We'll climb the tallest tree above it all
To look down on you and me and them
And I'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell, who you'll love and who you won't
Don't let your life wrap up around you
Don't forget to call, whenever
I'll be here just waiting for you
I'll be under your stars forever
Neither here nor there just right beside you
I'll be under the stairs forever
Neither here nor there just right beside you

"Speed Kills"

Speed kills, but beauty lives forever
Speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
And stood still beside eternal flame
And when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
With all I'd asked
And all I'd pray
The last rose of summer would stay
First time that I ever saw you
Crashing hard thru days of pain
You were one of god's children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to be saved again
'Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
And all I'd ask
And all I pray
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
Long gone, gone
The last rose of summer is gone
When I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
Forever young
Forever blind
Into the stars
we rock tonight
Last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone

Today
vs.
Annie-Dog



"Today"

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

"Annie-Dog"

Amphetamine annie-dog
Has her leash and a face
Her velvet spleen, her shackle spine
Her diamond curse, it comes with mine
A vessel she for violent I
Confession arms awake
Mine mine, your were always mine
Possessed by my taste
And below the angel dog
Combs her hair and sings her psalms
The bombs go off, she doesn't notice
It all goes wrong, she sets things tragic
She is venus, she is mars
She's electric, and the struggle of
Upon her face we leave no trace
But in her stomach mercury aged
She holds the blood, she carves the knives
She digs the wires in our babies
Amphetamine annie-dog
Pulls her trash and her stories
From place to place and bed to bed
Gives of herself and the magnet head
Another floor, another ceiling
Counting stars with double meanings
Is it wrong to be swallowed whole
To disappear in her
To give to her the priceless peace
Of giving up control
We tumble out into the streets
And annie-dog, she drags her leash
Pretty face, ugly mouth
Bitter bred and so released
And by the no and in the yes
Annie goes if you couldn't guess
A simple man, a sycophant
Her elephant with the laughing cough
She wants clean sheets and fresh flowers
Her dental shots and the hong kong glue
Amphetamine annie-dog
Has her leash and a face

[R_Dorothy Wayneright]

Today!

[Burma8]

Annie-Dog has a really interesting sound and I especially like the vocals (the raspy, Elmer Fudd quality also found on Once in a While and My Mistake) but it was always my least favorite on Adore. Even though Today is so obvious and high profile I have to choose it because of the irony - this was a time when Billy seriously thought about killing himself...

TODAY

[zeheel]

Muzzle or Rocket are my favourite lyrics!

[keija]

Today.

[oryann]

Today. For such a poppy, extremely well-known song, the lyrics are out of this world.

Zero
vs.
Stand Inside Your Love



"Zero"

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, i'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need 'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
'Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only

"Stand Inside your Love"

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Inseparable
And for the last time
You're everything that I want and asked for
You're all that I dream
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul
And beautiful
You
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breath
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn in my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
For the first time
I'm telling how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound in my time
I'll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart
And your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love

[R_Dorothy Wayneright]

Stand Inside Your Love. And I'll make damn sure this song makes it to the finals!

[keija]

Both.
But I'm going for Stand Inside Your Love, it has amazing personal meaning to me :love:/> :cry:/>

[oryann]

SIYL

Although the "god is empty just like me" bit always gives me chills.

[reinsdorfsucks]

Stand Inside Your Love

[Burma8]

"I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind - you're mine forever now," gives me goosebumps.

Stand Inside Your Love

[Her]

ZERO

[afroguy10]

Stand Inside Your Love

"And for the first time I feel as though I am reborn in my mind, recast as child and mystic sage."

Tune!

[SpangledUser]

for me it would be both
i pick zero because it's one of my favorite songs by the smashing pumpkins
