(BC midsong: Inside our hearts, we speak this revolution, yeah. Our time is now, we have dropped the bombs, yeah. We raise our hands in prayer, we know that we are [unintelligible word]. Yeah! We are the machines. We speak this dream. We are the machines. We are the machines of goooooooood. Gooooood. ... (escalating to scream) Goooooooooooo--!)

Today
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. I have to say, I have to say that we played about 60 concerts this year and this is by far the best audience we’ve played for all year. I’d like to also say that we, the Smashing Pumpkins, are fucking idiots. Hold on, hold on. It’s true, we are fuck - not Melissa, ‘cause she wasn’t, it’s not her fault. The old Smashing Pumpkins, we’re fuckin’ idiots because we never came to Seoul before, we’re very sorry. We’re very bad people, but that’s why we’re in a rock band. So to make it up to you, to make up for all those years that we didn’t come here to play, we have a very special treat tonight. He doesn’t usually do this sort of thing, tonight James will sing for you a song.

and you might ask yourself
just what do i feel if i have no feelings? hup!
you might ask yourself
just who does the singer think he is anyway? hup!
you might ask yourself
why must he always wear black, why can’t he wear gray?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

yeah! you might ask yourself
just how deep is it to the bottom of the ocean? yeah!
you might ask yourself
what do i feel, is it love or is it devotion? yeah!
you might ask yourself
just how hot is it at the center of the sun? yeah!
you might ask yourself
is it as hot as me ‘cause i am the only one

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

backwards forwards always true
an original gangster, solid blue

in my hands i crush your long velvet fingers
my love disaster but still it lingers
i am poetry true and unforgotten

Blank Page
Cherub Rock
BC: Thank you, thank you, goodnight.
[encore break]
Iha: (screams twice)
BC: Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much. Before we play our last song, before we play our last song I’d like to say a little thing. We’d like to say that as Americans - I know, America - we’re very encouraged about the possibility of peace in Korea. This is a good thing. And we hope that your children will not have to know what war is and stupidity and...dumb governments and all that kind of stuff. So we dedicate this song not only to you, but to the people also of North Korea. We wish you a bright future.
Iha: Uh.
BC: Heh heh. Heh.
Iha: Whoa, oh my god.
