Age of Innocence
> Tonight, Tonight
Blue Skies Bring Tears
BC: Good evening, good evening. Thank you very much for coming tonight. Yes. Like to introduce to you...well, he's an international movie star, sometimes he plays with the band when he's bored, Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
Stand Inside Your Love
BC: Um, when we're in Japan, we only speak Japanese.
The Everlasting Gaze
> Heavy Metal Machine
Le Deux Machina (tape)
To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. This um, next song, um, this next song, um, um, there's the original version and then there's a version that I made up later. You Americans need to stop talking English, you’re distracting me. Yes. And I'd like to play you the version I play when I'm at home.
Today (Billy solo acoustic)
Rock On
> Zero
> Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: Thank you. We'd like now to play a song off our Adore album. Thank you, heh heh. This is called Perfect.
Perfect
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
and you might ask yourself
what does this song mean if it has no meaning?
and you might ask yourself
just what do i feel if i have no feelings?
you might ask yourself
why must i always wear black?
and you might ask yourself
is it because i’m always under attack?
once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground
you might ask yourself
just who’s that fucking guy on stage? oh!
you might ask yourself
must every leer be obscure and gray? oh!
you might ask yourself
just how deep to the bottom of the ocean? yeah
you might ask yourself
is it my love or is it just emotion?
once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground
whoa!
oh!
bo!
let the pool now rush in to black water rain
a human being, love
float unrestrained
(screams)
whoa!
oh!
what the fuck?
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
ripple upon ripple, water moves from dust in carpet and all chemical muse, i rose from this earth
my love, my love, my love is no abuse
but my love, my love, my love is my excuse
once in a lifetime, same as it ever was
for you i pick every flower, for you i write every verse
my spiels are broken, my devotion unrehearsed
i bow down before you, i give you all i have, synchronicity, persnickety, in the looooooong grass
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
once in a lifetime
(Billy solo)
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
ow!!

I of the Mourning

BC: Thank you very much for coming, thank you. God bless you, thank you.
