Spaceboy

Written by Billy Corgan
See the guitar tab

December 1992-March 1993

-Siamese Dream
-NME Magazine Tape Release

-The song was written for Billy's autistic brother,
Jesse. One of the first songs that used the old-style
sampler, the mellotron.

-There's an odd conversation at the end of
Spaceboy. On some CDs, it appears at the
beginning of Silverfuck, but the Siamese Dream tab
book makes it clear that it belongs at the end of
Spaceboy (Read it here).
-In the tab book, Billy said it was from an
anonymous source, + that he couldn't say where it
was from, for fear of being sued. According to Wendy, this dialogue came from HBO's Real Sex program.
-In an interview from 107.7 The End in Seattle, Billy
said this about the conversation at the end of
Spaceboy (source: Don Palmer):
Billy: " Um, it's just this weird thing I found. It's just
this woman talking about her husband
masturbating himself...I thought it was funny. Its
really that simple."

Feel it
Break your bones
Mr. Jones
Taste me...as I bleed
Taste my need

And spaceboy I've missed you
Spinning round my head
And any way you choose me
You'll break instead

Watch me...death defy
Defile my life
I don't need, I don't care
Please

I want to go home, I want to go home
I want to go home, I want to go home
'cause when a lover aches
That's when a lover breaks
I want to go home
I want to go home

And spaceboy they'll kill me
Before I'm dead and gone
And any way you choose me
It won't be wrong
And anyway you choose me
We won't belong

We won't belong, we won't belong
We won't belong, we won't belong
We won't belong
