The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore: Wikipedia Album Entry
Adore is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. Virgin Records released the album on June 2, 1998 in the United States. Adore is the Pumpkins' only album not to feature original drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Adore marked a change in sound for The Smashing Pumpkins; Greg Kot of Rolling Stone magazine noted that the album "isn't just a transitional record; it's a complete break with the past." Their previously layered, guitar-oriented sound was largely replaced by a quieter and more electronic influenced sound, and incorporated drum machines and synthesizers. For the release, the band shed their alternative hipster image for a more subdued Gothic look.
Despite being called "one of the most anticipated albums of 1998" by MTV, Adore sold only 1.1 million copies in the U.S., far below the Pumpkins' previous albums Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. However, the album was well received by critics, and became the third straight Pumpkins album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. Billy Corgan would later characterize the album as "a band falling apart."

The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore Lyrics
The Smashing Pumpkins - Annie-dog Lyrics
Amphetamine Annie-dog
Has her leash and a face
Her velvet spleen, her shackle spine
Her diamond curse, it comes with mine
The Smashing Pumpkins - For Martha Lyrics
Whenever I run
Where ever I run to you lost one
It's never done
Just hanging on
The Smashing Pumpkins - Shame Lyrics
You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna see this through
Don't let them get to you
The Smashing Pumpkins - Pug Lyrics
Kiss and kill me sweetly
Come and drive me home
Drag the miles in me
I am yours alone
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tear Lyrics
The lights came on fast, lost in motor crash
Gone in a flash unreal, but you knew all along
You laugh the light, I sing the songs
To watch you numb
The Smashing Pumpkins - The Tale Of Dusty And Pistol Pete Lyrics
Dusty screams, through doors and imaginary floors
"Why can't you miss me?"
Pistol Pete removes the final breaths
From her unkind and she is shaken

The Smashing Pumpkins - To Sheila Lyrics
Twilight fades through blistered Avalon
The sky's cruel torch on aching Autobahn
Into the uncertain divine
We scream into the last divine
The Smashing Pumpkins - Once Upon A Time Lyrics
Mother I'm tired come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go
The Smashing Pumpkins - Daphne Descends Lyrics
With the sugar sickness you spy the kidnap kid
Who kids you to oblivion
It's the perfect hassle for the perfumed kiss
He makes you miss him more than home
The Smashing Pumpkins - Crestfallen Lyrics
Who am I to need you when I'm down?
Where are you
When I need you around?
Your life is not your own
The Smashing Pumpkins - Blank Page Lyrics
Blank page is all the rage
Never meant to say anything
In bed I was half dead
Tired of dreaming of rest
The Smashing Pumpkins - Behold! The Night Mare Lyrics
I faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to
Please you, appease you
The Smashing Pumpkins - Appels + Oranjes Lyrics
What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the wind refused to blow?
What if the seas refused to wave?
