Pug
Smashing Pumpkins · Adore [1998]
Come and drive me home
Drag the miles in me
I am yours alone
Inside where it's warm
Wrap myself in you
Outside where I'm torn
Fight myself in two
In two
Into you
Desire me so deeply
Drain and kick me hard
Whisper secrets for me
Try to go too far
Inside where it's warm
Wrap myself in you
Outside where I'm torn
Fight myself in two
In two
Intro
Please don't change
Please don't change at all
Bring your rain
Bring your rain to fall
Inside where it's warm
Wrap myself in you
Outside where I'm torn
Fight myself in two
In two
Into you
Come and kiss me sweetly
Ride the telephone
Drag the miles to me
I am yours alone
Yours alone
On the telephone
Yours alone
Looking for a kiss kiss
Yours alone

Released on the 1998 album Adore, Pug represents a distinct shift in the Smashing Pumpkins' sonic palette. Moving away from the heavy, distorted rock of their previous era, the band embraced a more fragile, electronic-influenced sound during this period. The track showcases the group's willingness to experiment with texture and atmosphere, blending Billy Corgan's signature songwriting with a softer, more introspective delivery. This recording highlights the band's evolution as they navigated a transitional phase in their career, exploring new production techniques and emotional depths. As part of a critically acclaimed body of work, the song stands as a testament to the Pumpkins' ability to reinvent their style while maintaining their core artistic identity within the alternative rock genre.
