Band's Comments Lyrics
Q: "Why was Hummer called Hummer?"
Billy: "Well, ever since i wrote that song I've heard many definitions for the word 'Hummer'. I've been told that there is a car called a hummer. I heard that Monica gave Bill a 'hummer' but, quite honestly, in my innocent youth, I meant it to mean someone who just walks around humming a song to himself, whistling to the clouds."

Written by Billy Corgan

Faith lies in
The ways of sin
I chased the charmed
But I don't want them anymore

And in their eyes I was alive -
A fool's disguise
Take me away from you

Shame my tongue
Fat with promise all along
But when I woke up from that sleep
I was happier than I'd ever been

When you decide
That your life is a prize
Renew and revive
It's alright honey
It's alright, yeah

Happiness will make you wonder
Will I feel OK?
It scared the disenchanted
Far away

Yeah I want something new
But what am I supposed to do about you?
Yeah I love you...it's true

Life's a bummer
When you're a hummer
Life's a drag

Ask yourself a question
Anyone but me
I ain't free

Ask yourself a question
Anyone but me
I ain't free

Do you feel
Love is real?
