The Last Song

Lyrics

Information

this is the last song this is the last song I'll sing for you this is the last song this is the last song I can give you the roaring city sleeps metal fingers clutching dirty sheets and no one comes for free in this place where the angels sleep this is the last song this is the last song my eyes are wonder my eyes are open wonder to this as you hold the secrets I count the minutes off so perfectly the shards of broken glass sing the strains of a sad old tune we've made it at last but what we had is lost inside our past this is the last song this is the last song could you find away across me to forgive and forget me to appease and relent me to deceive and detect me to understand and release me to the dawn this is the last song this is the last song this is the last song this is the last song

Written by William Corgan BMI Work # 003875762 length- 3:55 Billy Corgan: (from Guitar World) "This is the only B-side written entirely after Mellon Collie was completed. I thought about holding it for our next record, but in the end I decided that it was so in the spirit of Mellon Collie that it was best served as an extra track. I never intended to have a guitar solo, but my father was hanging out with me at the studio, so I asked him to play on it. Every time I hear this song, I burst with pride at my father's great, and very influential to me, guitar playing." Official Releases: Thirty Three The Aeroplane Flies High
