Band's Comments		Lyrics
Billy: "It's a very key song. That song was definitely a window to other things. The chord changes are very Pumpkin-like, reminiscent of other things, and I was reluctant to start singing over it because I was afraid the moment I opened my mouth it was going to end up sounding even more like other stuff. So I kept putting it off and putting it off and it finally reached the point where I had to start singing because the band never knew where to do the changes. That melody that you hear is the melody that came out. It's the first thing I ever sang. "There's another interesting thing about the song: [producer] Flood goes to me and James, 'Go out and play the guitar parts. I think it would be better if you both played at the same time out there so you react off each other.' We go out and we do it--just to have it, not even thinking that that's the part you're going to keep. Then when we go back to it, like two months later, we've gotten used to it, so what you hear on 'Porcelina' is literally what we did off the top of our heads."		Written by Billy Corgan as far as you take me, that's where i believe the realm of soft delusions, floating on the laves on a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me as all the thought police, and closing in for sleep the dilly dally, of my bright lit stay the steam of my misfortunes has given me the power to be afraid and in my mind i'm everyone and in my mind without a care in this whole world without a care in this life it's what you take that makes it right porcelina of the oceans blue in the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts the light of all that's good, the light of all that's true to the fringes gladly, i walk unadorned with gods and their creations with filth and disease porcelina, she waits for me there with seashell hissing lullabyes and whispers fathomed deep inside my own hidden thoughts and alibis my secret thoughts come alive without a care in this whole world without a care in this life it's what you take that makes it right and in my mind i'm everyone in my mind i'm everyone of you you make it right it's all allright you make it right porcelina of the oceans blue
