"Soothe" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins originally released with the "Disarm" single and later on the 1994 compilation album, Pisces Iscariot.
| “ | recorded in my bedroom at my old apartment. you can hear the 7am buses slithering by. I used to go to sleep to the flanging car noises. the hiss that we had missed. i really only wanted this to be for me. but my friend said 'i really don't think you can improve on that. so i left it be.
... a song for my babies. children of the earth and such. i wanted to put this on siamese dream but i wimped out. shoulda coulda kinda didn't but i love it anyhow, makes me cry. |

Lyrics[edit | edit source]
hungry, hungry again
hungry, hungry again
when will it start to sway
when will it start to almost break you
hungry, hungry again
hungry, hungry again
i'll miss you
i don't wish you hurt
i forgive you
i don't wish you away, away, away
it'll almost break you
almost take you
almost break you
almost break you up
