and you say you don't care
oh, any way
any way that you want
in the love
in the love we're unsung
it's any way
any way that you want
hold it in
innocence in your arms
innocence
innocence holds you there

innocence
innocence lets you dream

"For Martha" lyrics

whenever I run
whenever I run to you lost one
it's never done
just hanging on

just past has let me be
returning as if dream
shattered as belief

if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side

but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above

your picture out of time
left aching in my mind
shadows kept alive

if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
I will follow you and see you on the other side

but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above

long horses we are born
creatures more than torn
mourning our way home


That was my point.
Haha we can trade off lyrics until we've exhausted both albums, that still doesn't make you right. Adore had phenomenal songwriting, but there was a reason it didn't sell. It didn't sound like Smashing Pumpkins. It sounded like exactly what it was: Billy Corgan. Jimmy was gone and they had hit a well known low point as a band. Darcy and James barely showed up and according to Billy the only time they had meshed as a band during the whole session was for "Shame".

Machina II, on the other hand, sounded like everything the Pumpkins should have been at the time. They could rock while maintaining that musician's edge. If I had to point to one single sound that I could have hoped they would have held on to for a couple albums, it would be Machina II. Adore definitely proved Billy has incredible songwriting talent, but Machina II showed he could do it within the context he put forth as a band.
