"Marquis in Spades" is a song from the "Zero" EP by The Smashing Pumpkins, which was included on the The Aeroplane Flies High box set. An early working version was called "Glamey Glamey".
| “ | The band never really liked this song. They were always snickering at it, but I always liked its sheer brutality. It was recorded live on my 8-track cassette recorder, on which I've done almost all my demos since before Gish. | ” |
| — Billy Corgan, Guitar World, January 1997 | ||
Prior to joining the band, drummer Mike Byrne had a YouTube channel under the name "MarquisinSpadez", an obvious reference to this song.
Lyrics
["Rolling..." "I was just on another planet for a sec..."
"Run it back, Mole... (amp on) ...fucker..."]
and i'd love you to notice
i'm devoted
to destroy for no one
now it's that time again to take revenge
on all the debutantes and their friends
the bitter charlemagnes so self-absorbed
the bodily remains such a bore
hey, yeah
was i good enough to break you
hey, yeah
and all i see is empty
'cause now i'm one of them
so adored
the slink of impotence
that money can afford
we know who you are and where you live
is your innocence all that you can give
hey, yeah
was i good enough to break you
hey, yeah
in the back of the car
the angel dust was given back to the stars
hey, yeah
was i good enough to break you
hey, yeah
and in this fall from grace
we'll meet again
another time another place
i've been down deep in you and me
let's see where we can go
yeah yeah yeah
angels, barbed wire
fuck you, desire
