lyrics

"Une des ces chansons que j’écrit en dix minutes et que je ne peux enlever de ma tête. J’aime beaucoup cette chanson; c’est un des rares exemples d’humour au sein des Pumpkins. Je l’ai enregistrée sur un huit-pistes, avec quelques overdubs de guitare acoustique 12 cordes. Cette version est la seconde prise. On en a perdu une autre qui était meilleure car l’ingénieur a oublié d’appuyer sur enregistrement."
"One of those songs that I write in 10 minutes and can't seem to shake off. I like this song a lot, and find myself humming it about the house, as it is a very rare example of actual Pumpkins humor in a song. Recorded live to a 8-track cassette, with a few acoustic 12-string overdubs just to give it a little zing. This was our second choice for a take; the better take was lost when the engineer forgot to press record."

Paroles / Lyrics

and i stumbled onto you as you stumbled over me
and you say the fates were cruel for throwing us together
i always loved you so especially when you'd go

all the world must know that i loved you so

it's a pity were apart
it's shame you broke my heart
but i've got a new girlfriend
she looks a lot like you dear

no one could ever do dear all the world must know

that i loved you so especially when you'd go
especially when you'd go away and leave me here
go away and leave me alone

all the world must know

pennies for sale
