Speed (with lyrics) 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Every time I listen to G.L.O.W. and hear the lines "Can you feel it" I'm reminded of the live rendition of Speed.

http://www.thepumpkins.net/component/option,com_artistavenue/task,playSong/id,1092/

This song isn't discussed very much, and I'm not sure if many people are aware of it. I would have loved to hear a studio version. I think it could have become a SP classic. What do you think of this song?

I love that song, and yes G.L.O.W.'s lyrics reminded me of that song too.
And yes it could of well been one SP's greatest!

sorry that is DeRogatis he is a dick that writes for the Chicago Sun times. Billy referred to him as "that fat fuck from the Chicago Sun-Times"

It's a really good song, brings the rock and all, but I'm guessing it was scrapped because its intro was too similar to "Tonight, Tonight" to be on the same album and they thought T, T was the better song (I agree)

Yeeaah, Billy has his own way with dealing with the press.
"That fuck-head from the chronicle" was his response to a bad review from one of The Fillmore shows.

I knew about the song, I'd heard it, but I'd never even heard ABOUT a version with lyrics.

No studio/demo version with lyrics, I suppose?
