BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Like to play a song for you that I don’t think’s been played by the Smashing Pumpkins for about 18 years. Not that you bloody well deserve it! But maybe by the end of this song, you’ll open your heart. If you have one. Haha, just kidding, this is a song from the Siamese album, you might’ve heard of it. You don’t know that one, do you?
Jeff: [unintelligible sentence while mic isn’t on.] Fuck. Fuck! I never heard of it.
BC: Okay, so um, we learned this song today just for you, hope you like it.
Luna
> Today
(BC immediately after lyrics finish: Thank you so much, thank you!)
[encore break]
Zero
> Ava Adore
BC: Thank you, thank you. It’s our last show in Australia, thank you. Like to thank all our fans for such a great trip. You’re lucky you live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Not like that place called America, what is that? What is America? Is it you or is it me, is it you and me? You had a good time? So we dedicate this last song to you, thank you so much for coming, it means so much to us that you’re here. Like to thank you for listening to our new album in full, it’s a great honor, thank you so much. To be able to come so far from home and play our new album...unlike all those other bands that are playing their old album. That’s right. We’re playing our new album so thank you so much, it wouldn’t be possible without you, thank you so much. And I’m great, by the way, I just want you to know I’m so great. And Jeff, you’re great. Mike, you’ve never been better.
Jeff: Woo!
BC: And Nicole...
Jeff: Lady Aliberto.
BC: Hotness, beautifulness, coolness...
Jeff: Boi-yoing-yoing.
BC: Heh, what?
Jeff: Boi-yoing-yoing.
BC: Hahahahaha. Alright, god bless you all, thank you.
