Billy Corgan - Zowie Lyrics






I foraged 'neath the darkest eaves, but why?
I've coughed into the sparkling breach, oh!
But underline, Hosannas ought
Not be so lost as I

When life keeps a running faster than your scars
And Cain isn't able to build a superstar
I'll carry back your love to win

I've caved on empires meek and drab, for sky
I've shattered promise after peak, ooh!
Yet Anodyne! No canyon currs
Not after spurs like mine!

That life keeps up running faster than your scars
And Cain isn't able to build a superstar
I'll carry back your love to win

    Fantastic song. Billy still got it.

  10. L.... F....

    I love the fact that his voice has not drastically changed or matured over the years. He is 51 now and still sounds as he did in the 90's.

  11. L.... G....

    remembering mellon collie...and the darknest of ava adore....

  12. S.... V....

    By the looks of this album it seems Billy is fantasizing about having his own private bank on an Indian Reservation. I mean WPC.......come on.

  13. t.... ....

  14. R.... S....

  15. J.... ....

    The start kind of sounds like Blank page - also another awesome song.

  16. �.... �....

    Корган в своем стиле велик!!!!!!

  17. z.... ....

    If Mr. Corgan reads this: 1+2=3
    The day Bowie died I was editing a short movie called “Dark Star”. Only later did I learn that in his last or second-to-last single, Blackstar: “Something happened on the day he died...”
    Now I learn he was “with you” as you wrote thi.

    It’s hard to be oh, so clear but it’s clearly as big as the universe.

  18. D.... B....

    Really Nice
    Sounds like Peter von Poehl : the story of the impossible

  19. �.... �....

    Билли вернулся!!!!!!!!

  20. G.... V....

    This song remind me another one "Deer Tick - Goodbye, Dear Friend (Sons of Anarchy)"

  21. J.... S....

    Can't stop listening to this one. Sounds amazing.

  22. a.... l....

    I foraged 'neath the darkest eaves, but why?
    I've coughed into the sparkling breach, oh!
    But underline, Hosannas ought
    Not be so lost as I
    When life keeps a running faster than your scars
    And Cain isn't able to build a superstar
    I'll carry back your love to win
    I've caved on empires meek and drab, for sky
    I've shattered promise after peak, ooh!
    Yet Anodyne! No canyon currs
    Not after spurs like mine!
    That life keeps up running faster than your scars
    And Cain isn't able to build a superstar
    I'll carry back your love to win

    What can i say Billy Rules...

  24. R.... H....

    Exquisite

  25. M.... S....

    Há tempos eu não me emocionava tanto assim com um álbum. Vou ser eternamente grata a esse cara pelas músicas.

  26. g.... a....

    Singing better than ever.

  27. M.... M....

    This track brings me to tears, I'm an empath and in turn an emotional musician and I've just quit working mainstream jobs in construction and I'm pursuing music (writing originals and playing covers on the streets and subways of toronto) if and only for my heart and soul to either wake up again or die for good...billy thank you for your voice and your mind and the availability of your vids...what you say to us the public matters and is needed...at least by me brother...please don't ever stop just being you and the journey that is your time here amongst our collective reality

    M.... M....

    Did we lose another soul to DMT?

  28. m.... d....

    Essence of the spirit and heart, love it billy..

    T.... R....

  36. T.... A....

    oh look, a story...

    In an impulsive reaction I was rather dismissive of the new album by Billy Corgan or William Patrick Corgan​ as it states on the cover of the album (which is a joke by the way and not an attempt at pretentiousness as I have seen some accuse and p/wonder) because it's not what I wanted, I wanted loud guitars, I wanted a band dynamic, and I wanted aggression, pure and simple...but after listening to a few interviews and listening to the album again as well as a handful of new live performances I understand where it has come from ad so I was wrong to be so dismissive about it.

    I once participated in an open forum Facebook chat with Billy that he had with fans a number of years ago and he actually addressed me personally and we discussed a comment I made that was about fair weather fans and how if you truly love what an artist does then you should be able to grow as they grow or your not really a fan and probably really weren't to begin with (there's a difference in an artist broadening their creative wings and one that just put's out a terrible product which you can discern if you're a diehard, IMO, of any artist or band) and I always have with Billy and The The Smashing Pumpkins​ up until their last album (Monuments to an Elegy) which again, I was dismissive of because I never really gave it a chance because it was different and not what I wanted. Upon a second listen, this album is beautiful, gorgeous sounding even, it's just that it wasn't what I expected and really who am I to expect anything, because it's not up to me to decide what his heart and soul lead him to!

    As an artist, either lyrically or instrumentally no one has had an impact on me (outside of The Cure that is because they are equal in the same terms, I like a lot of bands but none have had an effect on me like these two bands have) whether it be emotionally or inspirationally as Billy Corgan, his words, his music, as well as his personality have helped me in times of crisis, kept me happy when I was up, and definitely shaped me into the musician I have become and it was only because I was into it, I was and still am a diehard fan. Whether it's something everyone knows, like the guitar part at the beginning of "Today", the strains of the orchestra in "Tonight Tonight" or the not often heard epic 30 minute jam that melts my face every single time I hear it known as "Gossamer", I love it all so as a fan and as musician who has grown and is certainly not the same as I was I am kinda dumbfounded that I reacted this way initially...do me a favor, doesn't have to be The Pumpkins could be anything you genuinely like but whatever it is, whether it be some vinyl, mp3's, even an 8-track, whatever, put it on and enjoy it (I listened to Iggy Pop's "The Idiot" today for the first time and loved it) GO LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC BECAUSE IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER

    I remember the wife and I having a conversation early on in our relationship (way, way before we were married, probably in the first few months but hey, I knew day one) and it was one of those conversations where you know you are meant to be with the person you are talking to forever but it was something along the lines of how we could not fathom how anyone could not have music in their lives and believe me, those types of people do exist and still some twenty years later, I still don't get it...

  37. E.... -....

    Favourite on the album! :'3

  38. L.... ....

    What happened to the pumpkins😓

  39. J.... M....

    Zowie is what that blond girl from captain caveman says

  40. J.... M....

    Zowie is what that blond girl from captain caveman says

  41. P.... S....

    Love this . Brilliant

  42. E.... S....

    One of the most beautiful pieces he has ever written... a harmonic poetry of goosebumps..........

  43. W.... ....

    Beautiful William! Probably the best song on the album thus far, it just pushed out Aeronaut for the #1 spot in my mind anyway.

  44. A.... V....

    You're amazing! I deeply love you!

  45. b.... ....

    (Sorry for any errors, this is the best I could find)

    I foraged 'neath the darkest deeps
    But why?
    I've coughed into the sparkling breach
    Oh but on the line
    Hosanna's heart
    Not be so lost as I

    But life keeps up running
    Faster than your scars
    And Cain isn't able to build a superstar

    Oh, I carry back your love to win
    I carry back your love to win

    I've caved an impasse making [?]
    For sky
    I've shattered a promised after peak
    Oh, yet Anodyne
    No canyon curse
    Not after [?]
    Like mine

    And life keeps up running
    Faster than your scars
    And Cain isn't able to build a superstar

    Oh I'll carry back your love to win
    Oh I'll carry back your love
    To win

    b.... ....

    bringthedarth
    [Verse 2]
    I've caved at empires meek and drab,
    For sky
    I've shattered promise after peak.
    Yet anodyne,
    No canyon curse, not after spurs like mine

    b.... ....

    I've foraged 'neath the darkest eaves, but why?
    I've coughed into the sparkling breach, oh!
    But underline, Hossanas ought
    Not be so lost as I


    When life keeps a running faster than your scars
    And Cain isn't able to build a superstar
    I'll carry back your love to win


    I've caved on empires meek and drab, for sky
    I've shattered promise after peak, ooh!
    Yet anodyne no canyon currs
    Not after spurs like mine


    That life keeps a running
    Faster than your scars
    And Cain isn't able to build a superstar
    I'll carry back your love to win

  46. L.... P....

    Awesome Bowie tribute. Lovely album.

  47. M.... S....

    Vaya cagada, esto es como el Robe en solitario jejeje...

    M.... S....

    Hermoso Billy😍

    M.... S....

    Celin White Nasty Billy..

  48. S.... C....

    Well done! Love it

  49. R.... E....

    I adore this, this piano and vocals are sublime xxxx

  50. C.... R....

    I tend to feel a song before listening to its words. The beauty awakens within me is almost too much to bear. The cain isn't able to build a superstar line is brilliant. Woe to those who don't have the heart to appreciate WPCs heart and genius

  51. J.... M....

    I don't like the new álbum, it's boring and bad!

    J.... M....

    Jorge Muñoz it’s great!

    J.... M....

    Too bad! I cannot stop listening... such great vocal melodies

  52. B.... T....

    Hauntingly beautiful

    B.... T....

    B.... T....

  54. B.... W....

    Could be a Bond theme

    B.... W....

    B.... W....

    For the bext Bond movie they should ask Corgan... it would validate great taste of music at least

    B.... W....

    Nope. Not a chance.

  55. S.... ....

    A vegan masterpiece.

    S.... ....

    lol wot

  56. S.... W....

    Nada melhor do que o próprio tempo para amadurecer o coração das pessoas, seus pensamentos, sua visão de mundo. Corgan demonstra isso com o Ogilala. Obrigado
