Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet June bug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below Double cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in the store Morphine city slippin' dues down to see We don't even care as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement, lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it to see That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around |

9 posts | This song is very fitting. It reminds me of back in the day, when I first heard it. I was around nine, and didn't care about a damn thing. Perfect timing. |

3,035 posts | This song is absolutely incredible...probably the best from the Pumpkins, and most definitely my personal favorite from them. One of the best of the 90s, it will go down as a classic. |

Anyway, classic genius Pumpkins music. So reminiscent the sound of this...makes you think. Great video too... All hail one of the best bands of the 90's, the Smshing Pumpkins. One band that derserved to be in the mainstream unlike a lot today. |

39 posts | This song (video mainly) almost literally makes me want to cry. Just the thought of being a kid and having no worries and all. Also the thought of SP getting back together and connecting with their inner children! This is the greatest song of the 90's and one of the greatest teen anthems of all time! Can I get an amen!? |
