Mayonaise - The Smashing Pumpkins

Disclaimer: I did not profit from this video in any way. An amazing song by an amazing band. Lyrics:
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June

We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go

I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream

And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will

Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad

When I can, I will
Words defy the plan
When I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will

a dark grey sea of warm sadness swims over me when i hear this song. an all time favourite

[SadPeterPan1977]

I remember the reaction on Twitter when the full remastered album was played on BBC Radio 1 in the UK and loads of young people were going "Wow! Why haven't I heard this before?!"

I can still remember having that same reaction back in the early 90s when I was their age. It was a good time to be young ;)

Håller fullständigt med!!

[LookHear2011]

You buckle at the knees emotionally when you first here this song (not altogether in sad way, however). It's a masterpiece, my friend!

I thought black people didn't like mayonaise.

Favorite band of all time!! Love me some Corgan!!

[Kammie Sumpter]

This song just gives me chills. It has only just recently come into my life but I can't get it out of my mind. It is one of those songs that sticks with you and grabs a hold of your consciousness and never really lets go. It brings up everything I've never really wanted to talk about, but in a beautiful, nostalgic way. One of my all-time favorite songs, and this is only my 2nd time listening.

[DontListenToSgt]

Yup. Just started listening to a lot more of them about a year ago. Such a great band.
