Disarm (3:17)

The third single from the second album ‘Siamese Dream’, ‘Disarm’ caused a certain amount of controversy due to its lyrics.

Despite the BBC preventing the song from being played on ‘Top of the Pops’ and very little airplay in Britain, it still reached 11 in the charts.

Corgan had this to say about the song in an interview with Australian music show ‘rage’ - “The reason I wrote Disarm was because, I didn’t have the guts to kill my parents, so I thought I’d get back at them through song. And rather than have an angry, angry, angry violent song I’d thought I’d write something beautiful and make them realize what tender feelings I have in my heart, and make them feel really bad for treating me like shit.”
