“Cherry” originally appeared as a B side on the “1979” single, taken from the multi-platinum Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album. In an interview with Guitar World in 1997, Billy shared his thoughts on the song:
Of all the B-sides, this song is probably my biggest regret. I never spent as...
[Verse 1]
Stay with me, I'll set you free
Cause I can tell you once were pretty
Rose so sad, you've lost your petals
Lost the luster off your tattle-tales
[Chorus]
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover

Time has lost its hold on me
[Verse 2]
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool air
All the boys have been left for dead
Cause we go where they fear to tread
The beautiful ones the ones we'll remember
The precious ones our greatest pretenders
[Chorus]
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me, too?
Could you rest inside the sleep?
[Outro]
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you
I need a love

In an interview with Guitar World in 1997, Billy shared his thoughts on the song:
Of all the B-sides, this song is probably my biggest regret. I never spent as much time on it as it probably deserved, with this version showing very little improvement from the demo. This one probably should have mad...
