A song full of single-sentence stories, “Stumbeline” speaks of swapping roles in a relationship in order to deal with the burdening problems that plague the world.
The characters in the mini stories, perhaps connected, seem to be caught in the difficulties of youth: problems with parents, drugs, lo...
Stumbleine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boredom's in the bathroom shakin' out the loose teeth
Sally's in the stirrups claimin' her own destiny
And nobody nowhere understands anything
About me and all my dreams, lost at sea
[Verse 2]
Jack-it-up Judy set your heart alight
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Misspent youth faking up a rampage
To hold off the real slaves, paid off and staid
[Chorus 1]
And what you never knew can never get to you
So fake it
I'll be your Stumbleine, I'll be your super queen
And make you
[Verse 3]
Jukebox fuckup hangin' 'round the drugstore
No matter what you say he'll be back for more
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
She's got her reasons, I got my forgets
Of tears and idle threats misplaced, and
[Chorus 2]
And no matter what they do, they can't get to you
So fake it
I'll be your Stumbleine, I'll be your super queen
And make you me
[Outro]
Come around Ruby, I could never sleep alone

What did The Smashing Pumpkins say about "Stumbleine"?
Recorded as a home demo in my empty room now dubbed ‘Sadlands’, ‘Stumbleine’ was a song passed off again and again with the notion we’d get around to recording it eventually. When the odious day came, I grew bored within minutes at the tedium of trying to track finger-picked guitar in my nerve-rattl...
where does the title come from?
While Billy Corgan has a habit of altering the spelling of words in his song titles (see “Siva”, Appels + Oranjes, etc.), he doesn’t make words up. Given this history of song titles, its safe to assume that “Stumbleine” is an alternate spelling for another word such as stumbling.
