This came to my ears today after a long time. Real simple track and more likely just an experiment than much else, but I love the keyboards in it.

Hm, where's it from again?

It's the last track on Ocasek's "Troubilizing". Penned by Corgan who plays guitar, keys and backing vocals.

I remember him talking about this in Guitar World...

Ocasek encouraged Corgan to contributed stuff, and Corgan had sheepishly offered the lyrics to this one as something out of the normal for Ocasek to sing, IIRC.

I dig that album--this track, not so much, but...

lyrically- not one of Corgan's best!

Give me a secret
Another secret
Give me the jack down blazer fist
Give me the rundown gossip fits
Give me the black fish rotting core
Give me the milk toast humble bore
Give me the ancient chinese script
Give me the pulsar teenager lips
Give me the papers pedigree
Give me the shoeshine anarchy
I think my head is going to explode
I think my mind is remote controlled
I think my body really hates me
I think I'm just a walking disease
Give me the boom box bottle bitch
Give me the tree trunk tangled witch
Give me the babies missile child
Give me the pistols molten miles
