Apparently the Pumpkins are looking for the conjoined twins who posed for the band’s 1993 album cover, Siamese Dream. Read here for more.

Spread the word. Uh, right.

The track list for Zeitgeist, to be launched July 7th, 2007.

“Is everyone afraid? Has everyone changed?,” Corgan sings on opener “Doomsday Clock,” a big, loud rocker in the vein of Geek U.S.A. from Siamese Dream.

I still remember when the Pumpkins were about to release Machina back in 2000, the media compared it to Gish, the whole back-to-roots thingie. When it was finally released, they tanked it for not living up to hype. Bastards.

Personally, I don’t think the Pumpkins need another Gish or even Siamese Dreams. Both the albums are irreplaceable. And frankly, the Pumpkins can never go back to their glory days of selling millions of albums and topping the charts, not when today’s charts are covered with artists that feature other artists (just take a look at Billboard’s chart, 6 out of 10 of them have artists featuring artists, it’s a trend).

All I hope for is a good rocking album.

Mayonaise
by The Smashing Pumpkins
from Siamese Dreams, 1993

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 plans
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
