Understand Billly corgan’s singing is not a piece of cake. Great Band, great music, iconic video clip
It can be challenging.
Great song of my favorite decade, the 90’s. But a little difficult for me, filling the blank spaces. It’s hard for me understand English songs. Pronunciation differs from one singer to other. And it’s depends of the kind of English (British, Irish, American, Australian, or another non-speaker english singer). I really think that you only have learnt English at 100% if you’re able to understand perfect a lyric song or a English movie. Thanks for the song. Bye!.
great song!
Good song, but I have 10 wrongs. It’s hard for me to understand. To slang!
Great song but it’s very difficult to understand the missing words, reading the comments was a good challenge to my colleagues as well.
