Is "This Time" about Courtney Love?
This time I need to know
I really must be told If it's over It's up to you uou know The things you want to hold Are in pieces Crashing down Crashing down again Crashing down Crashing down my freinds I've got to move it on I've got to sing my song While I still can Dispatch the last alarms Hand out the last few charms There's no surprises Only love Only love can win Crashing down Crashing down again Only love Yeah only love will win Crashing down Crashing down again This time I need to know I really must be told That it's over I've lived my life alone My every step foretold To never linger And yet it haunts me so What are we letting go Our spell is broken Crashing down Crashing down my friends Crashing down Crashing down again Only love Yeah only love will Be enough Yeah only love will win For every chemical You trade a piece of your soul With no return And who you think you know Doesn't know you at all Their drain is needless Someday we'll wave hello And wish we'd never waved goodbye To this romance We'll drink up every line And shoot up every word Till there's no more Crashing down Crashing down my friends Only love Only love can win So cry these tears we'll cry as all We've held so long to fall apart As the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight Sounds like it to me. |

It was supposed to be the last pumpkins song. It was the last song written for the Machinas. It's a song to the band, in disguise of a love song, or loss of love song.
"for every chemical you trade a piece of your soul with no return" could apply to d'arcy being a "mean spirited" drug addict. "who you think you know doesn't know you at all. their drain is needless" could apply to james. "someday we'll wave hello and wish we never waved goodbye to this romance" would apply to jimmy |

I always thought the song applied to D'arcy the most, but I think that ultimately, like others have suggested, it's about the break up of the band as a whole.

I thought AoI was the last song written
Or was this some wacky loophole where it was written first but recorded last or somesuch |

It was written a few days before the Bridge School Benefit shows. I don't have my Machina booklet, so I don't remember how long they recorded it.

I always understood it that AoI was the last song written for Machina as well. "This Time" is definitely about the band. I seem to remember reading or hearing Billy mention it, but then I could be dreaming that up. My memory sucks.

let's say This Time was the last song written during the main recording sessions in Chicago, with Age Of Innocence being written at the last minute and recorded in LA, making it the really last song.

that only applies to the first MACHINA though. the timeline for some of the MACHINA II songs is unclear as far as i know.

It's not.

Uh no it's about the band ending.
So this is what happens when you ponder the meaning of SP songs too much... |

speaking of courtney, i just read this article which claims her new album is being put on hold. you know, the one billy stayed in her house to help with.
pretty funny that this, the shirley manson one, and MADM's most recent all ran into trouble with getting released....poor billy was involved on some level with all of them. |
