Pennies

Band's Comments Lyrics
Billy: "One of those songs that I write in 10 minutes and can't seem to shake off. I like this song a lot, and find myself humming it about the house, as it is a very rare example of actual pumpkin humor in a song. Recorded live to the 8-track cassette, with a few acoustic 12 string overdubs just to give it a little zing. This was our second choice for a take; the better take was lost when the engineer forgot to press the record button."

 Written by Billy Corgan

and i stumbled onto you
as you stumbled over me
and you say the fates were cruel
for throwing us together
i always loved you so
especially when you'd go

all the world must know
all the world must know
that i loved you so

it's a pity were apart
it's shame you broke my heart
but i've got a new girlfriend
she looks alot like you dear
no one could ever do dear
all the world must know
that i loved you so
especially when you'd go
especially when you'd go
especially when you'd go
away and leave me here
and go away and leave me alone
all the world must know
