Now That I Feel This Way
"Now That I Feel This Way" (or simply "Now That I Feel") is an early demo song by Billy Corgan. Though it appeared on tapes by The Marked, Corgan has said in a LiveJournal entry that the song was recorded with Len Ayala (Lenny) on bass, along with a friend of Ayala, placing it as a post-Marked song.[1]

| “ | the 3 of us put our heads together and record a song I wrote on the spot, a New Order rip called “Now that I feel this way” (it has 2 chords and 2 parts)…Lenny’s friend immediately plays some stuff that goes well with my guitar part, a surprise to me because it is an instant complimentary language to the one I am speaking | ” |

LyricsEdit
now that i feel this way
what more can i do?
now that you feel this way
there's nothing left to do
now that i've gone astray
gone without a prayer
left to die in the rain
i won't admit i'm scared
show me away
throw me away
show me away
throw me away
now that i feel this way
what more can i do?
you know i'm empty now
but you claim you've been used
you gave me what you had
but i gave you far too much
you really need to feel
such an emptiness i know
show me away
throw me away
show me away
throw me away
that'll show me
you're my queen
now that i feel this way
what more can i do?
now that you feel this way
there's nothing left to do
now that i feel this way
what more can i do?
now that you feel this way
there's nothing left to do
show me away
throw me away
show me away
throw me away, hey, hey
away, hey, hey
now that i feel this way
now that i feel this way
hey, hey, hey
this way, hey, hey, hey
now that i feel this way
what more can i do?
what more can i do?
what more can i do?
can i do?
can i do?
