Smashing Pumpkins - Jellybelly Lyrics

damn, imagine hearing the album from the top
instant hearth attack perhaps ?

I think this just singed my eyebrows off

This shit rips so hard

VOKLA :) 4/20/199 ❤️

Overlooked gem in my opinion, especially the drum performance and guitar riff.

Everyone needs to know how good this song is. How can we do that?

This one never lets me down. I am a slaughtered pig.

Saw them live and have massive respect for them. Jimmy Chamberlain is amazing to watch playing drums.

This song literally saved my life.

Best.album.ever.

Lyrics

Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was

We're nowhere, 
We're nowhere, 
We're nowhere to be
Nowhere, 
We're nowhere, 
We're nowhere to see
To see

Living makes me sick
So sick 
I wish I'd die
Down in the 
Belly of the beast
I can't lie

You're nowhere, 
You're nowhere, 
You're nowhere to be
Nowhere, 
You're nowhere, 
You're nowhere to see
To see

There's nothing 
Left to do
There's nothing 
Left to feel
Doesn't matter 
What you want, 
So

To make yourself 
Feel better
You make it 
So you'll never
Give in to 
Your forevers
And live for always

And ever, 
Forever, 
You're forever to be
Forever, 
Forever, 
You're forever to me
To me
You

Always in my ears in 2019 :-) And you?

One of the most amazing drumming of all time. Time to enter the Chambo.

Kinda sounds like Megadeth in a way... anyone?

I'm getting chills. this album is incredible and I don't know why I've never listened to it before.

I'm glad you have! It's my all time favorite album and has helped me through loads of rough times in these years.

Beautiful album man

Perfect set opener

63 people will never know joy.

This is one of the greatest songs ever made, clearly

welcome nowhere fast, nothing here ever lasts

anyone else find that final chorus absolutely amazing?

this is a fucking masterpiece

Mellon Cholie is an absolute masterpiece; to my eyes and ears, anyway. Jellybelly is such a fucking wicked song, like a bat out of Hell. How can one song, so loud and obnoxious be just so melodic and beautiful?

Jimmy Chamberlin's drumming and Billy Corgan's music are a perfect match. Amazing how stars align like that sometimes.

Basically the best song I've ever heard,

Fuck you

Wtf????

This song makes jimmy he is up there with Stewart Copeland and John Bonham

Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was..
We're nowhere... nowhere
Living makes me sick
So sick I wish I'd die

Jesus, i can only imagine what sort of craziness transpired when they played this song in recording for the album would have looked like. that ending is insane.

Jellybelly is without a doubt one of their greatest and heaviest songs.

Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was

Goosebumps

This was the song that made me a proper SP fan.

Used to whack this on to wake up all the (other) sleeping stoners during those long teenage summers when everyone had free houses to rinse. Good times!

Set to 1.25 speed. holy shit

The first time I heard this song was Christmas of 1995. I was 10 years old, and got a new boombox and this album on TAPE...listening through, came to this, and just sat in stunned fucking silence. I think it must have been like what hearing Jimi Hendrix in the 60's was like.

Makes me wanna smash...a pumpkin!

Isso é tão anos 90❤

Jimmy Chamberlin is God.

This is a contender for my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. It's that damn good. <3

given new insight that i suppose the comment section needs criticism just as well as praise. as negative comments as well have their place in the world as they are for a higher purpose.

This is my favorite song from that album.

JellyBelly.  One of the best!!

I had the flu the day this record came out. I listened to it a lot. I was like a weird dream

Jesus Christ Jimmy..... wtf .😃😂😃

An odd choice to follow 'Tonight, Tonight'

I don't see why people listen to more of this. I think this should have 8 million views. Damn if it don't have a video

when i was 14/15 i used to listen to this song at night.. past lights out in my boarding school.. looking at the fans above and watching the teachers walk past my door late at night checking on us.. listening to this album was like a nightly ritual.. brings me back..

Awesomest song ever!!

not dubstep

Cannot just listen once . . Like potatoe chips

One of the only albums I can listen to all the way through without skipping any tracks. The Smashing Pumpkins will always remind me of my childhood.

Love you man

wtf? wtf??? 2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity!!”)

They don't make albums like this anymore, totally agree wit ya. Wish i could find it tho, it's here somewhere🤔

Bought this CD when it first came out....and 5 seconds into the start of this song, I knew i made one of the best purchases of my life. Still get chills when this song pops up on my Spotify

The Smashing Pumpkins is one of those bittersweet bands whose songs can be aggressive and raw, and at the same time dreamy and beautiful.

beepst like their inspiration, the cure

2.20 bliss

Even though it's dynamic and heavy, there is still something very sweet and pretty in this song.

Good stuff.

I can already hear Zero taking off afterwards

Jimmy Chamberlin grooves like no other and Corgan’s guitar ,both made for each other.

1996, lolz.

immature people always crying because people do the things people do because they came to the same conclusion,
that which ends people's problems is that which ends people's problems... duh...
RAGE!!!

shhh... Jimmys working!

tone XD

Yeh metal

"To make yourself feel better
You make it so you'll never
Give in to your forevers
And live for always
And forever, forever, you're forever to be
Forever, forever, you're forever to me"

This still gives me the chills. Such a fantastic buildup to the last couple of lines. Teen years be dammed, this song (and album) will forever be in my playlist.

Sportracer956 couldn’t have said it better myself!

Jimmyyyyyy!

Im not a drummer,i play guitar but ive seen that opening ending drum lines performed by Chamberlin and other incredible drummers. When you hear it isolated and performed in front of your eyes you realize how much of a physical and mental achievement this song is.

Jimmy Chamberlain is inhuman.

Jimmy Chamberlin is an extremely underated drummer.

That's not true at all. He's very widely celebrated.

1:48 to 1:57 - what rock music should sound like.

Ferocious opening with Tonight, Tonight and Zero. Great start to the album.

Best pumpkins song in my opinion

Heavy as fuck

Vocals are too low in the mix. Sounds muffled.

I would have mixed them lower personally, like zero.

It’s kinda the sound of Mellon collie and the infinite sadness

Last great double album and IMNSHO best album of the 90s- The last decade of listenable music for the most part

no fucking about with those drum fills at the end, jeeeesus.

The number of dislikes on this is like Lady GaGa's penis. It's really small, but it still shouldn't be there.

i hope you make better jokes now ..a year later

Dylan Klebolds theme song

Should have been the 6th single. lol
`

Best pumpkins song imo

Pretty much the best shit of all time

d'arcys signature bass i miss her

bass .drums .lead guitar and voice is perrpeckto

The DRUMS.... so good.

This was always one of my favorite songs on the album. Unfortunately they didn't play this when I went to see them in Chicago back in 1996.

me and my friends

This song is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

suicide is not the solution.

That intro hurts my fingers thinking about it

Neil McLaughlin I think he's pertaining to the way you have to use the sticks to get a good enough rebound to go that fast

@Neil McLaughlin the intro can be played with even just one finger, technically :)

If you’re talking about drums then more than likely haha, this song on guitar though is actually surprisingly easy

@joenewmantv song is easy, i still can't do the intro. what do you do? is it just because i havent practiced enough? i just cant nail it

xd girly It is hard to explain, I would look up a cover though because it is simple and if you see someone play it you will be like ohhh yeah, but I understand why you’re having issues with it.

Great recording.

I enjoy consuming feces.

Poop eaters anonymous.

Thank you, Billy, for finally letting this be on YouTube. Not that I don't already own the album. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is, ironically, one of the purest sources of joy that there is.

MCIS is such a dreamy album.

I was walking home. My stomach suddenly got sick and I had to run.

Then this song played from my headphones.

OH MY GOD

One of my personal favs off the album!

2 much noise

Everyone knows that you're only a kunt, Peppa

I will fucking eat you.

These songs are so well-written that they stand up great when covered. Check out A Thorn for Every Heart's cover of Jellybelly" off of The Killer In You: A Tribute To the Smashing Pumpkins.

One of the greatest bands of all time, and one of my favorite songs. I love that guitar and those drums. I especially love how the song is dark and hopeless in the beginning, but turns light and hopeful at the end.

How do the Smashing Pumpkins make emo so badass!

Bri Pope wat

you contradicted yourself

Bri Pope objection. Foundation.

One of the best intros in Rock history...

Agreed...

This was really the FIRST SINGLE OF MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS by BILLY.BUTTTT

:S Bullet for more :v
