cover #52: today

song: today
cover: madina lake
original: smashing pumpkins

comments: maybe i should start a spin-off blog dedicated to terrible covers of songs. we can toss evans blue and fear the clown there, and that one a perfect circle cover, and this one. i think the real crime here, in my (uninformed due to never hearing this band before) opinion is dudeguysinger trying to sound like billy corgan, when even billy corgan should be trying to sound less like billy corgan sometimes.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
smashing pumpkins - today
madina lake - today

lyrics: today is the greatest
day i've ever known
can't live for tomorrow
tomorrow's much too long
i'll burn my eyes out
before i get out

i wanted more
than life could ever grant me
bored by the chore
of saving face

today is the greatest
day i've never known
can't wait for tomorrow
i might not have that long
i'll tear my heart out
before i get out

pink-ribbon scars
that never forget
i tried so hard
to cleanse these regrets
my angel wings
were bruised and restrained
my belly stings

today is
today is
today is
the greatest day

i want to turn you on
i want to turn you on
i want to turn you on
i want to turn you

today is the greatest
today is the greatest day
today is the greatest day
that i have ever really known
