Corgan, Billy - Now (And Then) Lyrics

Peace colours
What's left of mine
I used to find
Pennies crushed on tracks
It's a long way back to the station


Now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
Now and then
Now and then to you
I could be a friend of use
So hide me when you go
Back amongst the reeds


Cable coils
Around my neck
Whatever's best
It seems insane to me
Can't escape the family tree
Roots are buried deep
Deep as you can climb
I'll do
I could be a friend to you


Now and then
I could be a friend
Now and then
I could be a friend
Now and then to you
I could be a friend of use
No second chance at this
I'll watch you making love with them


Build a fire
Behind the school
Come and visit soon
If you're blue and alone
Hold my hand they're coming back for more
There's always one more score
I'm sure to balme for this
I've got to get this change through and through


Now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
Now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
Now and then
Now and then

Beautiful. Billy shoegazing.

Very Cocteau Twins Guitar

This album is basically a post-punk Mellon Collie. No one can change my mind. <3

One of his best.

Post-rock Pumpkins

Or post punk?

Wow, Billy has changed so much

Peace colors what's left of mine
I used to find pennies crushed on tracks
It's a long way back,to the station
Now and then,i could be a friend
i could be a friend now and then
Now and then to you i could be a friend of use
So hide me when you go back amongst the needs

Cable coils around my neck whatever's best it seems
insane to me can't escape the family tree
roots are buried deep,deep as you can climb
i'll do,i could be a a friend to you

Now and then i could be a friend
now and then to you,i could be a friend of use
no second chance at this
i'll watch you making love with them

luv him. its my cliche with bald people

amazing,   downtempo like jam

genius.... digital delay after overdrive

This is one of his best works. And he's worked a lot.

C'est ma chanson préférée de tous les temps, je pense que c'est celle que j'écouterai sans être jamais lassé, merci Billy pour ce merveilleux cadeau éternel.

@Michel Cuellar Désolé,d'arriver la comme ça,

de spéciale pour moi aussi!Merci,à Billy Corgan
Pour toutes ces chansons,qui m'ont transporté
pendant les mauvais ,comme les bon moment!
Salutations à vous,et bonne année 2016:-)

Love Billy's voice

This could have easily been on Machina Pt. 3

and would have made it more smashingy

Billy Corgan est un génie, il compose des musiques pour être écoutées pour l'éternité.

So epic. Love this song!

His vocals are so haunting.

Bittersweet.

No one mixes hope with sorrow quite so well as Mr. Corgan.

great ambient feel...this is genius!

wow, that guitar sound... i spent hours trying to nail it

brajtnerinjo how do you get that aound

jcarterize which one? Put a time stamp.

@portalsofmadnes the main riff and then when the guitar gets really loud

At 1:45

@AV8R4LIFE that's reverb and delay in front of some heavy gain. should be quite easy to nail. turn the feedback up on the delay quite a bit and quite alot of verb and you'll get there quick.

Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone had the acoustic version of this song? I believe it was recorded at a radio station and has pretty decent quality. I've seen the one he does in France, and that isn't quite as awesome.

Crack Pumpkin search billy corgan on jonesys jukebox and you'll find it

what a fantastic fantastic song!
