Nirvana lyrics
Blew
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wouldn't mind, I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind, I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care, I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind, I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew was stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
If you wouldn't mind, I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind, I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care, I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind, I would like to breathe
(x2)
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew was stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
(x8)
You could do anything
Floyd the Barber
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bell on door clanks - come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down [in the] chair, don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face
I'm ashamed (x3)
Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see, I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-Pee pressed against my lips
I was shamed (x3)
I sense others in the room
Opie Aunt Bee, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch
I was shamed (x3)
Corrected in accordance with the Kurt Cobain 'Journals' book.
About a Girl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need an easy friend
I do with an ear to lend
I don't think you fit this shoe
I do won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I do
I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I need an easy friend
I do with an ear to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
No, I can't see you every night
Free
I do ... (x4)
School
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(x4)
Won't you believe it
It's just my luck
(x3)
No recess
(x4)
Won't you believe it
It's just my luck
(x3)
No recess
(x8)
You're in high school again
(x7)
No recess
Love Buzz
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems
(x4)
Can you feel my love buzz?
Would you believe me when I do you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems
(x4)
Can you feel my love buzz?

Paper Cuts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I'm feeling tired
She pushed food through the door
And I crawl towards the crack of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
- a good hosing down
The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twitch and masturbate!
I said so (x3)
Nirvana (x6)
Black windows of paint
I scratched with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away
And very later I have learned
To accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!
To take
Me with
You're right

Negative Creep
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is out of our reach (x3)
and it's grown
This is getting to be (x3)
drone
I'm a negative creep (x3)
and I'm stoned!
I'm a negative creep (x3)
and I'm ... (x2)
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x6)
This is out of our range (x3)
and it's crude
This is getting to be (x3)
like drone
I'm a negative creep (x3)
and I'm stoned!
I'm a negative creep (x3)

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x6)
Fuck! Yeah!

Stoned!
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x14)
Scoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my eyes, I'm not lazy
In my face, It's not over
In your room, I'm not older
In your eyes, I'm not worth it
Gimme back my alcohol (x7)
Heal a million, kill a million (x3)
In my eyes, I'm not lazy
In my face, It's not over
In your room, I'm not older
In your eyes, I'm not worth it
Gimme back my alcohol (x7)
Heal a million, kill a million (x3)
In my eyes, I'm not lazy
In my face, It's not over
In your room, I'm not older
In your eyes, I'm not worth it
Gimme back my alcohol (x7)
Heal a million, kill a million (x3)
Swap Meet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(x3)
They lead a lifetime that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make their living off of arts and crafts
The kind with seashells, driftwood and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show
-- Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
-- Keeps her photographs close to her heart
-- Keeps the bitterness close to the heart
Mr. Moustache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your might and wisdom
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud
Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and keep it clean
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud
Is he in an easychair?
-- Oversized rock
I don't like you anyway
-- Seal it in a box (alt: Silver metal box)
I'm new (x2)
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your might and wisdom
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud
Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and keep it clean
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud
Is he in an easychair?
-- Oversized rock
I don't like you anyway
-- Seal it in a box (alt: Silver metal box)
(x2)
I'm new
I'm you
Aaaahh!
Sifting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afraid - to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self loss
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some fear none
Wouldn't it be fun?
Your eyes ...
Teacher said,
Your eyes ...
Teacher said,

"Don't have nothing for you" (x7)
Spell the smell

Cold in coals
Wouldn't it be fun?
Your eyes ...

Big Cheese
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big cheese - make me
Mine says, "Go [to] the office"
Big cheese - make me
Mine says, "One that stays"
Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies
Show you all what a man is
Need more ememies
Big lies - make my
Mine says "Go [to] the office"
Big cheese - make me
Message? What is it?
Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies

Need more enemies
Sure you are, but what am I?
Downer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend every country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland, boring pain!
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am, I know I can
Make enough of the words as you go along, I sing then some
Sickening pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative Communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst!
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am, I know I can
Make enough of the words as you go along, I sing then some
Smells Like Teen Spirit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay! (x3)
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay! (x3)
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
A denial! (x9)

Sell the kids for food

Spring is here again

Hey - He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Don't know what it means, when I say:
He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means when I say aahh ...
We can have some more -- nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit -- tender age in bloom
Hey - He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Don't know what it means, when I say:
He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means when I say aahh ...
He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it mean's when I say:
He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means (x2)
Knows not what it means when I say aahh ...
Come As You Are
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria (x3)
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria (x3)
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun (x2)
Memoria (x3)
Memoria - and I don't have a gun
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun (x4)
Memoria (x2)
Breed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't care (x5)
Care if I'm old
I don't mind (x5)
Mind, don't have a mind
Get away (x4)
Away, away from your home
I'm afraid (x5)
Afraid, afraid of a ghost
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said (x8)
I don't care (x5)
Care if I'm old
I don't mind (x5)
Mind, I don't have a mind
Get away (x4)
Away, away from your home
I'm afraid (x4)
Afraid, afraid of a ghost
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said (x8)
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said (x8)
She said .. good!

I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey (x6)
I'm so lonely, but that's okay, I shaved my head ...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard ...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there ...
But I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's okay ...
My will is good
Hey, hey hey (x6)
(x2)
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze ...
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey (x6)
(x2)
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
Note: On the handwritten lyrics that Kurt Cobain wrote, he marked
the chorus as "Hey" and not "Yeah". That's what's also been reflected here,
even though most would argue that the word "Yeah" is present in the song.
Polly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

"Come on people now, smile on your brother and
everybody get together, try to love one another right now"
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions
Gotta find a way, to find a way, when I'm here
Gotta find a way - a better way - I had better wait
Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman
(x2)
Gotta find a way, to find a way, when I'm here
Gotta find a way - a better way - I had better wait
"Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you"
(x4)
Gotta find a way, to find a way, when I'm here
Gotta find a way - a better way - I had better wait
Drain You
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One baby to another says -
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
With eyes so dialated,
I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful -
Vacuum out the fluids
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
You (x5)
One baby to another says -
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I'm like you
Lounge Act
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truth - covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
I still smell her on you
Don't - tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
I still smell her on you
Truth! - covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Still smell her on you (x3)
Stay Away
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monkey see, monkey do
I don't know why I'd - rather be dead than cool
I don't know why - every line ends in rhyme
I don't know why - less is more, love is blind
I don't know why
Stay
Stay away (x3)
Give an inch, take a smile
I don't know why - fashion shits, fashion style
I don't know why - throw it out and keep it in
I don't know why - have to have poison skin
I don't know why
Stay
Stay away (x3)
I don't why (x2)
Stay
Stay away (x3)
Monkey see, monkey do
I don't know why I'd - rather be dead than cool
I don't know why - every line ends in rhyme
I don't know why - less is more, love is blind
I don't know why
Stay
Stay away (x3)
I don't know why (x2)
Stay
Stay away (x3)
Stay away (x5)

On A Plain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, then I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
(x5)
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
Something In The Way
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
(x3)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they dont't have any feelings
(x4)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Mother (x4)
Death
With violence
Excitement
Right here

Go to hell
Here I am
Right here
Ow!
No mas (x4)
Death
Is what I am
Go to hell
Go to jail
In back of that
Crime
Here I am
Take a chance
Dead!
Die!

Turnaround
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take a step outside yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It's Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock!
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking!?
It's pretty scary, it's so revolting (x4)
Naaaah !
Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

Kept his body clean (x3)
Going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed (x2)
He was something
Digrace the family name (x2)
The family name, he was something
He was born for your crew
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave

Aye-Yeah!
Leave this one, for your brew

If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back again

Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, don't go
Grandma take me home (x8)
Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good
Grandma take me home (x8)
She said, well, don't you start your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
That's what I did, I killed my toad
Never take me home (x8)
After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms
Never take me home (x19)

Turnaround
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take a step outside yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It's Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock!
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking!?
It's pretty scary, it's so revolting (x4)
Naaaah !
Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

Maybe she wants some water

I got my diddly spayed (x3)
I got my diddly
She laughs about it
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right
Jacking themselves off polyester
I wanna jump, this isn't right!
Hey, when am I getting it back?
I got my diddly spayed (x3)
I got my diddly
I don't know why,
I've got a joke too silly to say

If you're wondering, it's gaining monthly
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate
Feeling can't help me romp
Bill just fuck me, take me anal
Billy's slit reminds me of someone
I'm sick of paying for the love boat
Tony and Tenille say wanna jump rope
And I say look!
I got my penis spayed,
I got a little tail,
I got my dingaling spayed
I got my dingaling spayed

Hope it's only ah, a yeast infection
Oh well, it burns when I - it hurts when I pee
Oh well, it hurts when I - it hurts when I see
Now I vomit cum and diarrhoea
On the tile floor like oatmeal pizza
Fill my toilet bowl full of a cloudy
Puss, I feel the blood becoming chowder rust
Oh well, it burns when I - it hurts when I pee
Oh well, it hurts when I - it hurts when I see
Roll into my bed which does consist of
Lice, bugs and fleas and yellow mucus
Stained dirt, vaseline, toe jam and booger
Stomach acid worms that dance in sugared sludge

How a culture comes again, it was all here yesterday

That legendary divorce is such a bore
As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a dad
I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore

There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
Go away - get away, get a-way
I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit!
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way

Ever ... ever ... forever!
Wish I had more ... more opportunity,
More chances to remember some things
So I couldn't have so much pressure on my ...
On my ... on my, um ... ah, on my ... um ... um ... head
We'd have so much more diversity,
And so much more input, so much more creative flow,
If we had someone in school, a 'GIT' ...
GIT ... geeks ... in ... town.
Ha! ... Come on, Dave, think of one ... !
Girls with trouble
It should be GIC, geeks with charvels
No, GWC, fuck man this is a waste of time ...

Which came as a surprise

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land (Alt: I searched for foreign land)
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here (Alt 1: We walked a million years)(Alt 2: With multimillionaires)(Alt 3: We walked a million hills)

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold the World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Pennyroyal Tea
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anemic royalty (x2)
Dumb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover ...
Have a hangover (x3)
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Think I'm just happy (x4)
I think I'm dumb (x12)
Polly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
On A Plain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My brother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, then I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
(x3)
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
Something In The Way
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
(x2)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they dont't have any feelings
(x4)
Something in the way, mmm

Plateau
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Oh, Me
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see

Lake Of Fire
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make them their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

All Apologies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else should I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun

Married
Buried
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

All in all is all we are (All alone is all we all are?)
Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Drain You
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One baby to another says -
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
With eyes so dialated,
I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful -
Vacuum out the fluids
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
One baby to another says -
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I'm like you
Aneurysm

Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and do the twist
Beat me outta me (x8)
Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and shoot the shit
Beat me outta me (x8)
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart (x8)
Smells Like Teen Spirit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay!
Hey (x2)
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little tribe has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay!
Hey (x2)
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto

Been a son
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- One, Two, Three, Four!
She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance
(x2)
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have - been a son
She should have stayed away from friends

She should have worn the crown of thorns

I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey (x6)
I'm so happy 'cause today
I shaved my head ...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard ...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there ...
But I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's okay ...
My will is good
Hey, hey hey (x6)
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze ...
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey (x6)
Yeah!
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
Note: On the handwritten lyrics that Kurt Cobain wrote, he marked
the chorus as "Hey" and not "Yeah". That's what's also been reflected here,
even though most would argue that the word "Yeah" is present in the song.
Sliver
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, no
Grandma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone
Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good
Grandma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone
Said, why don't you stop your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
Thats what I did, I killed my toe
Grandma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone
After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep, and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms
Grandma Take me home (x16)
Never take me home (x2)
Grandma Take me home (x1)
Wanna be alone

Spank Thru
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And as the soft pretentious mountains
Glisten in the light of the trees
And the flowers sing in D minor
And the birds fly happily
We'll be together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby
I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
living without you girl you'll only break my heart ...
I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it - I can shape it and/or mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it - I can spank it, I can beat it ejacu-late it ... Aah!
I've been lookin for day Glo - Always hearing the same ole'
Sticky boredom with a book -
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could
Scentless Apprentice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice
Go away - get away, get a-way
Every wet nurse refused to feed him
Electrolytes smell like semen
I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
Go away - get away, get a-way
I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit!
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
Go away
Get away (x6)
Get a-way
Heart-Shaped Box
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!

Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left back
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!

Milk It
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins
Doll steak!
Test meat!
Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping
I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit it is her milk
Doll steak!
Test meat!
Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping
Doll steak!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Your scent is still here in my place of recovery!

- Hey bootleggers!
So, this is a new song and we don't really feel like ..
actually going through the trouble of putting it out ourselves, so ...
- This song is called "The Eagle has Landed" !
Yeah, and its for all of you bootleggers to go ahead and go !
Try to find something fast, in my eyes
Oh no, that's ok, phone home
Everthing tastes the same, in my eyes
Every day, every taste, in my eyes
Hey! (x3)
Every time it's in his chin, in my eyes
Everything Tennesees, phone home
Bring it down, at the town, in my eyes
Bring it in, set it's in, in my eyes
Hey! (x3)
Try it's sound, something found, it ain't us
Round down, at the town, go home
Round down, something in, mean us
Every taste, something fake, gross
Hey! (x3)
Take ...
Mean heart ...
Mean hearts ...(x3)
Here is an alternate version of the lyrics to this song.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down down such a fast, in my eyes
Won't ever let you down, flown home
Granted to your sense of sound, oh my eyes
You and me it contains, my heart
Hey! (x3)
Go dark sound check, my eyes
Everything teddy sees, is all wrong
Burnin' down half the town, and my house
Entertaining suicide, well my heart
Hey! (x3)
Jonestown such a frown, see yours
Riddle meal left the town, or go home
Rarin' round such a day, for me uh ..
Hitch a train to Santa Fe, or go horse
Hey! (x3)
Take ...
Mean horse ...

- Thank you for your patience!
If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't care I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to leave
If you wouldn't care I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew was stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't care I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to leave
If you wouldn't care I would like to breathe

Hey fellas have you heard the news,
You know that Annie's back in town
It won’t take long just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face is the same
As it was so long ago
But her eyes..
"Do a solo"
"Solo, solo!"

Help Me I'm Hungry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's it!"
Until my tensions feed me (Alt: There's too much tensions)
I'm fucking hungry
Grade me
I want my gun back
Light the fucking résumé (Alt: With me)
Experience potentials
Experience the process
People freaking every day
White lights hidden inside
(unintelligible)
Blasphemy!
Hold me, I'm so pathetic
And study, all the sudden
Baby, suddenly find her
Daddy, exploring only
Light the fucking résumé (Alt: With me)
Experience potentials
Experience the process
People freaking every day
White lights hidden inside
(unintelligible)
Hold me, some potentials (Alt: so pathetic)
Grade me, somebody help me
Feed me, I'm fucking hungry
Sooth me, I want my complex back
Naked man licked off the scabs and
Fed them, to the pigeons
Help him, he's cornered
Kill him, you mercy whore will
Light the fucking résumé (Alt: With me)
Experience potentials
Experience the process
People freaking every day
White lights hidden inside
(unintelligible)
Help me, fucking hoses (Alt: Horses)
Help me, until my tensions
Graise me, I'm really hungry
To gravy, I want my complex back
"Thank you and goodnight"

Your life is shit (shit)
Your life is bogus (bull)
Your life is crime (crime)
Your life is hell (hell)
I'm gonna die, start a new union (Alt: but not before you do)
I'm gonna die, with my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union (Alt: but not before you do)
I'm gonna die, don't fuck with me
Your life is shit (shit)
Your life is clean (it is clean)

"I'm gonna open up myself a flea market
I'm gonna open up myself a flea market
And you're gonna wish that you did
And retire on the profits
First off,
I'm gonna empty out all of my Mrs. Butterworth jars
And I'm gonna put 'em on a shelf with my 800 dollar a month tax free Century 21
shop
And then I am going to put my Mrs. Butterworth syrup jars on the shelf
Next to all the commemorative fast food chain glasses and cups I've accumulated
over the past 62 years
Then I'm going to get some plywood
I'm going to get some plywood and cut them up into two by two feet squares
Then I'm going to get some burlap and I'm going to cut them into
two by two feet squares, and then I'm going to put them onto the
pieces of plywood
And then I'm going to go to the beach
I'm going to go to the beach and I'm gonna collect some
shells and driftwood
And then I'm going to take the shells and driftwood and glue them
onto the plywood and burlap
And sell 'em for lots of money
People will be paying top dollar for my kids new used new
toys and clothing
Then maybe someday I can get rid of that
pissed-stained matress I've been sleeping on"
I'm gonna die, start a new union (Alt: but not before you do)
I'm gonna hell on my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union (Alt: but not before you do)
I'm gonna die on my libido

I'm gonna die on my libido

I'm gonna die watch the pain
If You Must

I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven plight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego ...
Write some words, make them rhyme

Ahhhhh...!
If you want

The extremes (x2)
Act it out
Practicing
Perfecting

Onto me (x3)
I will wade in the fire
To explain your asylum
Idle times, analyzing
We'll compare all our sightings

You get, you get, you get, you get to me
Holy is the time, it's such an easy way to go
You get, you get, you get, you get to me
Hide the circle in the skin under a fingernail
(x4)
Oh, lesser God
Oh, your lonely
Waste your time by saving worthless gullibles
Kill a politician and then wear his clothes
This decade is the age of rehashing
Protest and then go to jail for trespassing
Throw me inside
Oh (x3)

Portray sincerity,
Act out of loyalty,
Defend your free country,
Wish away pain.
Hand out lobotomies,
To save little families,
Surrealistic fantasy,
Bland boring plain.
Hold me now in restitution
Living out your date of fusion
In our whole fleece is your master
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough up the words
You go along
I'll sing your song
Sickening pessimist, hypocrite master
Conservative communist, apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God, for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged, in debt for my thirst!
Hold me now in restitution
Living out your date of fusion
In your whole fleece is your master
Don't feel guilty, master writing!
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough up the words
You go along

Floyd The Barber
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bell on door clanks come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face
I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved
Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see, I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard; I hear a zip
Pee pee pressed against my lips
I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved
Get away!
I sense others in the room
Opey, Aunt Bea I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I died smothered in Andy's butt
I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shaved

This is a hard, cold beat
You can go dance if you'd like
You won't get in trouble
And the tea has some spice
You wanna know it hits ya
You can make, have some fun
Watching them make you away
Up on the wall you won't
Ahhhhh ...
What's in the wait, your waiter
We only ate your garnish
I ordered spam and rice
In this to say you're fired
We dance on the table tops
We only had your daughter
We ordered too many cocktails
What's in the way you love
(Shouting)
Beans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't like you
And I'm gonna beat you up
No! No! No! No!
No John!
I'm telling my mom!
Ahh beating.."
Beans, beans, beans
Jessie ate some beans
He was happy, happy, happy
That he ate some beans
Sitting naked, naked
Sitting cross-legged
Naked, naked, naked
And he was happy, happy, happy
That he ate some beans
Wine, wine, wine
Jessie had some wine
He was happy, happy, happy
That he ate some ... wine
Beans, beans, beans
Jessie ate some beans
And he drank some wine
And he was happy, happy, happy
That he drank some beans ...
Don't Want It All
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To hope is admittance
Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics
Reflected image
Don't be so selfish
Leave in me this
Follow it far
To find where you are
You haven't grown
Go on alone
Never finished his sentence
Remained in seclusion
For the next few days
The family circle noose
He had removed us
All the styles of heresy
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company
Clean Up Before She Comes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clean up before she comes (x4)
Living in a dusty town (x2)
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

I must be getting old
I must be getting, getting older
I'm starting to eat my vegetables
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes

Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty town (x4)
Clean up before she comes (x4)

It's not too fake
Keep your eyes

Ohhh, I do
Don't pin a note to me
I do promise to agree
I do live in constant fear
I do wonder why I'm here
And if you say I'm right
You'll hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free

Don't wash my face again
I do away from all my friends
I do have a breath in you
I do can't see if we move
And if you say I'm right
I'll hang you out to dry

They Hung Him On a Cross

They hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross for me
They whooped him up the hill
They whooped him up the hill
They whooped him up the hill for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on a cross
They whooped him up the hill for me
He never said a mumblin word (Alt: He never sat among them worked)
He never said a mumblin word (Alt: He never sat among them worked)
He never said a mumblin word for me (Alt: He never sat among them worked for me)
One day when I was lost
They hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross for me
They bit him in the side
They bit him in the side
They bit him in the side for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross for me
He hung his head and died
He hung his head and died
He hung his head and died for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross for me

Token Eastern Song
I'm not gonna make it through
Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
Something sad, something mean
I'm not gonna make you through
Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make it through
Something else, something new
Hold it in your gut (x8)
I'm not gonna make it croon
Someday sad, someday blue
I'm not gonna make you scream
Someday sad, someday mean
I'm not gonna make it through
Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
In this hour, something mean
Hold it in your gut (x8)
Hold it in your gut (x8)
Gut! (x14)

Even In His Youth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even in his youth (x3)
He was nothing
Kept his body clean (x3)
He was nowhere
Killed the family name
Daddy was ashamed (x2)
He was nothing
Even in his youth (x3)
He was nowhere
The thief is born before you're through
Must be more than you could chew
I've got nothing left to do
If you wait, you wanted you
Oh, ah, yeah!
Even in his youth (x3)
He was nothing
Kept his body clean (x3)

Must be more than you could chew
I've got nothing left to do
If you know you wanted you
Oh, ah, yeah!
I've got more of you through
This much more than you could do
If you leave before you need
I've got nothing left to see
Oh, ah, yeah!
Even in his youth (x3)
Yeah, yeah
Even in his youth
Yeah, yeah
Even in his youth
Yeah, yeah

Opinion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, this song is called Opinion"
Congratulations, you have won
It's a year subscription of bad puns
And it makes your story of concern
And you set it up before it burns
My opinions, mmm (x4)
And it seems to be a problem here
And the steer of emotion seems to clear
Now they rise and fall like wall street stock
And they have an effect on our peace talk
Our opinions, mmm
My opinions, mmm (x3)
Congratulations, you have won
It's a year subscription of bad puns
And it makes your story of concern
And you set it up before it burns
Your opinions, mhm (x4)

Lithium
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, hey
Yeah, hey, Mmmm
Yeah, hey
I'm so lonely, but that's okay, I shaved your head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay
My will is good
Yeah, hey
Yeah, yeah (X4)
Note: On the handwritten lyrics that Kurt Cobain wrote, he marked
the chorus as "Hey" and not "Yeah". That's what's also been reflected here,
even though most would argue that the word "Yeah" is present in the song.
So, if you feel that "Yeah" is more correct, just use that instead. I don't care :)
Been A Son
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns
She should have been a son (x4)
She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance
She should have been a son (x4)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I swear to God
Oh, please don't go
Gramma take me home (x8)
I had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good
Gramma take me home (x8)
She said why don't you quit your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
That's what I did
I killed my toe
Gramma take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone
My Grandpa had a cigarette
It touched my arm on accident
I swear to God it hurt real bad
Gramma take me home (x8)
Where Did You Sleep Last Night
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
(Humming)
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband was a hard working man
And ... (?)
His head was found in a driving wheel
And his body was never found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Make up the rules
I'll see you in court
And I will not embrace you
I'm now a lie, the same as you
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello!
I'm lazy and famous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and we're famous
Here we are now, entertain us
A libido, an albino
A mosquito, a vagina
Here we are now, entertain us
We feel stupid, and famous
A denial! (x12)

Verse Chorus Verse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither side is sacred, no one wants to win
Feeling so sedated, think I'll just give in
Taking medication 'till my stomach's full
Either side is sacred, growing in my home (Alt: Crawling in my hole)
Grass is greener, over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Reinventing, what would you do?
Take your time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again
Neither side is sacred, no one wants to win
Feeling so sedated, but I can't give in
Even medication, 'till my stomach's full
Feeling so sedated, when I'm in my home
Grass is greener, over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Reinventing, what would you do?
Take your time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again
Oh (x4)
Neither side is sacred, no one wants to win
Feeling so sedated, think I'll just give in
Taking medication 'till my stomach's full
Feeling so sedated, when I'm in my home
Grass is greener, over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Reinventing, what would you do?
Learn from history, and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again
Oh ...
Old Age
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're rollin..."
One more day to complete my service
One more high to decay my nervous
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more day to complete my service
One more time here to fade my servant
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
Over
She seen through me and mine
And I know a later time
We could make it with you
We're the same
Old age (x4)
One more day to complain, my servant
One more doubt here to find a servant
Wondering how I'm gonna find
It's over
Wondering how I'm here date my cover
One more doubt here to save my never
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
She seemed true, me and mine
And I know a later time
We and we're you to you
Leave the soul
Old age (x4)
Just you need and read you free
Hmmm
And knew
You read
You flew
Ooo
Hmmm
One more day to complete my circuit
One more high here to find my nervous
Someday I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more doubt here to claim my supper
I can have anything you wanted
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
He seemed to read minds
And I know we're out of time
Breathe away here with you
Dream the same on the dew
Breathe the same on her
Breathe to moan on a man
Breathe and shame on you
He's late

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover
Have a hangover (x3)
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
I think I'm dumb (x12)

Heart-Shaped Box
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are we rolling?"
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been buried in a heart-shaped box for weeks
You done undid my magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could catch your cancer when I am sick
(x3)
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice (x3)
I asked me like a Pisces when I've been weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
And in a magnet tar pit film on your trap
I wish I could catch your cancer when I am black

Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

"Ready?"
Even if you own a wife
Even if you like in my state
I could never want a bribe
I've been there no matter what that
In the someday, what's that sound?
In the sun bathe, what's that sound?
In the someday, what's that sound?
In the sun bathe ...
Even if you wanted light
I could never matter to play
Even if you want a life
Even if I like it, you're sad
In the someday, what's that sound?
In the sun bathe, what's that sound?
In the someday, what's that sound?
In the sun bathe, what's that sound?
Even if you own a wife
Even if you wanted one thing
I could never want a life
I could never only one day
In the someday, what's that sound?
In the sun bathe, what's that sound?
In the someday, what's that sound?
In the sun bathe, what's that sound?

This mother and her daughter
She said (x2)
Hey my own will beat water
My liars will be the milk man
My mother will be your, hey
My letter's gone insane
She said I'm not just like her
She said I'm like her son
I drink more milk than he does
I'm a deal and I want my mom
She said (x2)
Big mothers mill be able
My letters will you sell
My mother is my father
But no one is alone
She said (x2)
My lover is your mother
I wish I should drink more milk
He lies when I'm here in my bedroom
I like him better than
I never helped you riddle
I never take a bath
He always puts the chocolate
On my pillow before I go to bed!

Gallons Of Running Alcohol Flow Through The Strip
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
That you're only supposed to use once and then discard
Where do you put it?
In the garbage, in my honest
In my shyness, pet her flow
She's only been five months late
Even though we haven't had sex for a week
A meal a day, a meal, I say
And my heart's made my ...
Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis
She was tied up in chains
And Sam had helped her in the freezer
She's only five weeks late
And I haven't had a date forever
Ever, ever, forever
Wish I had more, more opportunity
More chances to remember some things
So I couldn't have so much pressure on my ...
On my ... on my, um ... ah, on my ... um ... um ... head
We'd have so much more diversity
And so much more input
So much more creative flow
If we had someone in school, a GIT ...
GIT ... Geeks ... In ... Town
Hah! Come on, Dave, think of one ...
Girls in Trouble!
It should be GIC, Geeks with Charvels
No, GWC
Fuck, man, this is a waste of time
*laughs*
One more solo?
Yeahhh!
Yeahh!
You're personally responsible for ...
The entire strip
To be washed away
Cleansed
As if gallons of, ... uhm, rubbing alcohol
Flowed through the strip and were set on fire
It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight
And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom
And his silk
And he ...
He erected a beautiful city
A city of stars
The Other Improv
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's an odd alliance
It's another light I say
What alone tonight
Even if my eyes
Even have some time
Bet it all tonight
Listen I have been banging away
Even if you had a sight
My
It's mad enough tonight
And forests have never grown
It's another light
And I can never have mine
It's not mine (x2)
Instead I hide
I've been here for my friends
I never know if I said
Watching out for me
When I can love you
Have your way
And she might as well know I
Seem more high
High
Than ...
I said, minerals will make the world
If we did not have chemicals
You would not be writing my death certificate
Biting is my friend
My dog left me a sand send
One more day than I can plan
Ends safe from you
Biting ass a lie friend
When I will never have a friend
Biting silent as a man
His silence setting up around
And she improvised
And she was supervised
I was arised
Or arosed
Or a rose (x2)
Or aroused
And fine!
Fine line
When I
Said night time
When I
Could never kind
And I
My milk is your shit (x2)
It's hard and boiled
And sour all again
My milk is your shit (x8)
(x5)
It revolves
It evolves
Cause it's biting out what would
My milk is your shit (x4)
My milk is your (x2)
My milk is your shit
My milk is piss
Don't you love that I can bite
Serve The Servants
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serve the servants, oh no (x3)
If I see you're moving me
If you need to set me
You lost to everything
Candy striped blue volunteer
Who lost her trance to me
They to kill your bed is made
And have them all IV
Burn to hell you'll never be
It's safe to say for me
If it makes you happy, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no (x6)
You see, and I know your in vain
Very Ape
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's your heaven
It's your oven
It's your tired
It's a new way to make things used
It's in heaven if you never can find out
Haven't you seen
I am with you
It's another way to light thin fire
It's a reason that's all we can do
It's a lake
If you're sitting right out
(x5)
Now I'm insane
Now I'm with you
Hit some sun with your eyes
Hit some sun with your light
A da da dum da da da da
A da da dum da da da da

Now I'm with you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm Anemic royalty

Of a marigold

Do Re Mi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I may
And if I might
Lie me down, weeping
If I say what it's like
I might be dreaming
If I may
What is right
Some make time to see me heal
His tears in his bonnet
The face from his pocket
The chains from a blown life from dreams
Do Re Mi (x4)
If I may
And if I might
Wake me up
See me
If I do and if I lie
Find me out
See me
If I may
Cold as ice
I might not see me heal
The rays in his socket
The face from this moment
The chains from the socket
I've been weak
Do Re Mi (x6)
Wish me good
And wish me night
Find me now
Season
Their way
Just be quiet
Finally dreaming
Yellow whale
And if I sigh
Shake me out
Teeming
If I may
If I might
Got a gun to bleed me
The rays in his pocket
The rays from this moment
The chains from his armor
Am I deep?
Do Re Mi (x8)
You Know You're Right
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will never walk it through
I could never promise you
If some things followed you
I will never wander through
Is it me you love again?
Guess I'll never have a fan
Isn't me the real me
I could never have a see
It's a never-ending dream
I will always wanna flee
If I'm real, have a go
Empathy I haven't known
Dream (x4)
Guess I never followed you
How come me libels you
I could never die again
I won't lose another friend
She wants to see another me
When I'm through I meditate
It's some we all medicate
Guess I'll fall and medicate
It's another opiate
But to me it's everything
Dream (x4)
I will never promise you
Dream (x2)
