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 breath Is there another reason for your stain Could you believe who we knew stress or strain Here is another word that rhymes with shame You could do anything Floyd the Barber
Hello Cobain, come on in Floyd observes my hairy chin Sit down (in the) chair don't be afraid Steamed hot towel on my face I was shaved I was shaved I was shamed Barney ties me to a 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'm ashamed I was shamed I sense others in the room Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume They take turns to cut me up I die smothered in Andy's clutch About a Girl I need an easy friend I do, with an ear to lend I do, think you fit this shoe I do, but you have a clue I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night (for) free I'm standing in your line I do, hope you have the time I do, pick a number to I do, keep a date with you School Wouldn't you believe it It's just my luck No recess You're in high school again 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 Can you feel my love buzz? Paper Cuts At my feeding time She pushes food through the door I crawl towards the cracks 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 Ow...I said so Nirvana Black windows of paint I scratch with my nails I see others just like me Why do they not try to escape? They bring out the older ones They point at 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 Ow...to take you with me Your right (to) Nirvana Negative Creep This is out of our range...and it's grown This is getting to be...droan I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more Yeah!

Swap Meet They lead a lifestyle that is comfortable They travel far to keep their stomachs full They make a 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 could 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 (They) keeps their bitterness close to their hearts Mr. Moustache Fill me in on your new vision Wake me up with indecision Help me trust your mighty wisdom Yes, I eat cow, I am not proud Show me how you question, question Lead the way to my temptation Take my hand and give it cleaning Yes, I eat cow, I am not proud Easy in an easychair Poop as hard as rock I don't like you anyway Seal it in a box Now you Sifting Afraid to grade Wouldn't it be fun?

Nevermind


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?  

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?  

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?  

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, a denial


In Bloom

Sell the kids for food 
 weather changes moods 
Spring is here again 
 reproductive glands  

He's the one who likes all the pretty songs 
And he likes to sing along 
And he likes to shoot his gun 
But he knows not what it means 
And I say aahh  

We can have some more, nature is a whore 
Bruises on the fruit, tender age in bloom


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 your, don't be late 
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria  

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach 
As I want you to be 
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria  

And I swear that I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun


Breed  

I don't care if I'm old 
I don't mind if I don't have a mind 
Get away, get away from your home 
I'm afraid, I'm 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    


Lithium  

I'm so happy because 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  

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  

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 kill you, I'm not gonna crack  


Polly 

Polly wants a cracker 
Think I should get off of 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 hurt 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 hurt 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  

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


Territorial Pissings
  
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions  

Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman  

Just because you're paranoid 
Doesn't mean they're not after you    

Gotta find a way, to find a way, when I'm there  
Gotta find a way, a better way, I had better wait  


Drain You  

One baby to another said  
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 because I like you  

With eyes so dilated 
I've became 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  

Sloppy lips to lips 
You're my vitamins because I'm like you


Lounge Act  

Truth covered in security 
I can't let you smother me 
I'd like to but it wouldn'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  
Smell her on you  

Don't tell me what I wanna hear 
Afraid of never knowing fear 
Experience anything yoy need 
I'll keep fighting jealousy 
Until it's fucking gone  

I'll go out of my way to make you a deal 
We've make 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 
Smell her on you


Stay Away  

Monkey see, monkey do 
I don't know why I'd rather be deal than cool 
Every line ends in rhyme 
Less is more, love is blind 

Stay away 

Give an inch, take a smile 
Fashion shits, fashion style 
Throw it out and keep it in 
Have to have poison skin 

Stay away 
God is gay, burn the flag  


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've ever had 
Was when I learned to cry on command  

I'm on a plain 
I can't complain  

My mother died every night 
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that  

The black sheep got blackmailed again 
Forgot to put on the zip code  

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  

One more special message to go 
And then I'm done then I can go home


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 
But it's okay to eat fish 
Cause they haven't any feelings  

Something in the way



Incesticide

Sliver Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go (oh no)

Grandma take me home

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat's too good

She said, well, don't you start your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
That's what I did, I killed my toe

After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms

I wanna be alone

Stain Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never leaves cause he's got bad luck
Well he never reads (eats) and he never rusts (ruts)
And he never sleeps cause he's got bad luck yea

I'm a stain

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

She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance (faltered)
She should have had another chance

Turnaround (Devo cover) Take a step outside yourself
And turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It is revolting
You're not much
If you are anything

Take a step outside the city
And 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, totally, it's so revolting 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 what you are
It's pretty scary

Molly's Lips (Vaselines cover) She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me

She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as I stayed clean

Kiss, kiss
Molly' s lips
Son of a Gun (Vaselines cover) Up up up and down
Turn turn turnaround
Round round roundabout
And over again
Gun gun son of a gun
You are the only one
That makes any difference
What I say

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

New Wave Polly Polly wants a cracker

Beeswax ---[Interpreation 1] Why doesn't she need him for a father?
Not only made us, but I can thrive on his shit.
Goring my manhood turns a man off.
Like Pepe LePew would say,
Hey, hey, hey! -- then we clash!

I got my diddly spayed

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 don't know why,
I got a joke too silly to say.
Don't touch the balls.
I got a dick, Dick -- hear my fucking hate!

If you're wondering, it's gaining monthly. (If your world is getting ugly)
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy.
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate.
Freely kill him, make it wrong.
Bill has brought me deep in idyll. (idyll / anal)
Billy Slim reminds me of someone.
I'm sick of being Mother Love Bone. (I understand your fear for the love boat)
Don't need to kneel 'cause they wanna jump rope.
And I say, loooooook!

I got my diddly spayed,
I got a little tail,

Ahhhh, I got no balls.
Don't throw that ball.
I got a ..huh! huh!
When ya gonna learn?

ou
?? seen him for a father
Not only maidens can occupy my shack
Gluing my manhood gism ?
Like Pepe Le Pew would say hey! hey!
And then we clutch!
I got my dingaling spayed

Shouldn't ask about it
Drinking, reflections, the wind blows just right
Jagged thumbs of polyester
I wanna jump, just isn't right-ight!
Wait'll I get it back!
I got my dingaling spayed

??
I got a joke too silly to say
Don't touch the balls
Am I fucking ready?
I got my dingaling spayed

And your wondering whats ??
Fiberglass insulated and the sky was cotton candy
Spawning helps ritual (Rachel) ovulate
Feeling can't help me romp
Bill just fuck me, take me idle
Philly'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
...nothing hard
I gotta be around pussy
Don't let me fall
I got a heh-heh...well you can't live!
We got my dingaling spayed

Mexican Seafood Oh, itchy flakes, it isn't through me (Oh, it's your face, it isn't even)
Till the jaw's in flames, it's entertaining
True, the fungus mold is my attraction
Oh, it's only a dys-infection

Only hurts a night, until I pee (tonight / pay)
Only hurts a night, until I sleep

Oh, coming up, and diarrhea
On the tile floor, a gum of pizza
In the toilet bowl, aroma cloudy
Toss, feel it burn, become a chowdered mess

Only hurts a night, until I pee (plea)
Only hurts a night, until I sleep (sing)

Oh, take my bed, I've just consumed some
Flies. Bugs and fleas and even mucus
Stain the Vaseline, and tainted burgers
Stop, in case it learns, and takes a joke as such.

Hairspray Queen I was your mine, you were mine, my enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,
You were, mine, I was once your en...aaahh

You rang
Your ears rang

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, we'll go...gaaahhh (god)

Wishful goddess, at night
Wish the hardest, at night
Wishful goddess, at night
Wishful gaaahhh (god)

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, you were so modest
At night, Crisco lovefest
At night, a mouthful on me
It's like, fish-filled garbage
At night, we'll go...gaaahhh (god)

(interesting erotic noises)

Aero Zeppelin What's the season of love if you can't have everything?
What's the reason you're around if a crime means anything?
What's the meaning in a crime? It's a crime if anything.
What's the meaning of love? It's grand, it's grand.

How can a culture can forget it's plan of yesterday.
And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway.
There's no need to talk to friends, nothin' new is everyday.
You could shit upon the stairs,
You'll be friends

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly.
Should it subtlely irritate, keep it movin' equally.
Not to know is just the fact, we're a problem nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway.

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally
Not to know is just the facts, we're worse nowadays.
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

Hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? hey?

Big Long Now It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through (She is new, improved)
Can we show our faces now?
I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

In this clime
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speak a phrase (Speaking)
Instantly grow (Grown)
I am blind
Waiting in line / Why am I shown?

Aneurysm Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh

Beat me outta me, beat it, beat it

Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huhr> Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and shoot the shit, uh-huh

She gives the perfect strain to my heart

In Utero

Serve the Servants  
Teenage angst has paid off well 
Now I'm bored and old 
Self-appointed judges judge 
More than they have sold  

If she floats than she is not 
A witch like we had thought 
A down payment on another 
One at Salem's lot  

Serve the servants, oh no 
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 is nothing I could say 
That I haven't thought before  

Serve the servants, oh no 
That legendary divorce is such a bore

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 away, get away 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 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

Rape Me Rape me Rape me my friend Rape me Rape me again I'm not the only one Hate me Do it and do it again Waste me Rape me my friend My favorite inside source I'll kiss your open sores Appreciate your concern You'll always stink and burn

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid It's so relaxing to hear you're asking wherever you get your way I's so soothing to know that you'll sue me This is starting to sound the same I miss the comfort in being sad In her false witness, we hope you're still with us To see if they float or drown Our favorite paitent, a display of patience Disease-covered Puget Sound She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars And leave a blanket of ash on the ground I miss the comfort in being sad

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 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 Skin the sun Fall asleep Wish away The soul is cheap Lesson learned Wish me luck Soothe the burn Wake me up

Very Ape I am buried up to my neck in Contradictionary lies I take pride as the kind of illiterature I'm very ape and very nice If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask someone else first I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive I've seen it all I was here first Out of the ground Into the sky Out of the sky Into the dirt

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 enternally I'm so tired I can't sleep I'm a liar and a thief Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry-flavored antacids

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter Use just once and destroy Invasion of our piracy Afterbirth of a nation Starve without your skeleton key I love you for what I am not I do not want what I have got A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns Speak at once while taking turns Second-rate third defree burns What is wrong with me What is what I need What do I think I think This had nothing to do with what you think If you ever think at all Bi-polar opposites attract All of a sudden my water broke Hate, hate your enemies Save, save your friends Find, find your place Speak, speak the truth

About a Girl

I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night (for) free

I'm standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too (to or two)
I do... keep a date with you

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 your, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam (reprise des Vaselines) Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee.

The Man Who Sold The World ( reprise de David Bowie) 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 hishand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley 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 enternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief

Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

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
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 I have a hangover...Have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learnedd
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

Polly Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of 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 hurt 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 hurt 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

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

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'm on a plain
I can't complain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code

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

One more special message to go
And then I'm done then I can go home

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
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings

Something in the way

Plateau (reprise des Meat Puppets) 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 took was fun

Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Oh, Me (reprise des Meat Puppets) 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
sweetened with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me

Lake Of Fire (reprise des Meat Puppets) 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

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

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
Fight to claim them for their own

All Apologies What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could 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
I'm 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 freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are

Where Did You Sleep Last Night (reprise de Leadbelly ) 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

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

You're my favorite
Of my saviours
You're my favorite
Oh no

Yes you're my favorite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no

Hey!
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm (to remind me what not to become)
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm
Calm, calm, calm

Born In A Junkyard (Where Were You In '89, Leeds, 27/10/89) I'm long gone from (vertical)

I'm long gone from the American Dream

Curmudgeon (single Lithium) ---[Interpretation 1]
I can't hide, no
On the mantle
I'm not sad
Tilling that hoe

It's the season
I'm all reason
I have seen
All I have grown

Sheared at the seams
Cheat on me
And not seen
Cheat on me
At the seams

I'm a lender
I'm a planter
I put something
In the garden

In the handle
On the mantle
I'm not Santa
I'm not God

I want a lady
Can you save me?
It's the sulfur
I have grown
Tis the season
I'm all reason
I have fleas
All I have hoed

Defect,defect
Not straight, not so straight

Cold, cold morning
Ghostly image of fear
Mayday, mayday
Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them

Do You Love Me? (reprise de Kiss , sur la compilation hommage (C/Z)) You really like my limousine
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows

But...
Do you love me?
Really love me?
Do you love me?

You like the credit cards and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars

You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the moeny honey that I make

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
>From all of the magazines

Even In His Youth (sur Hormoaning et sur le single de Smells Like Teen Spirit) Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was something
Disgrace to family name he was something (Against the family name) (Smears the family name)

Leave this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave

Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was nothing
Disgrace to family name, going nowhere

Leave this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back again...
I'm dying!

Even in his youth (x6)

Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip (sur la version europeenne de In Utero) 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 can, my honest friend.
My shyness, pet her flow.

She's only been five months late,
even though we haven't had sex for a week.

A mil a day, a mil, I say. (meal)
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.

(solo) 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...
(Dave: inaudible)
It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
No, GWC

Fuck, man, this is a waste of time!
(laughs) One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh!

(solo)

You're personally responsible for...
the entire strip...to be washed away....
cleansed...as if gallons of, um, 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.

Aah, she looks so good
Aah, she's made out of wood
She says so

I Hate Myself And Want To Die (sur la compilation Beavis & Butthead ) Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my fulfill

In the someday -- What's that sound?
End it someday -- What's that song?

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger pressing down the horse pills (Finger plaster-cast of the horse pills)
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I wanna refill (You don't wanna wanna read them)

(spoken very softly behind the guitar)

(Words are broken lives)
Five pieces of board, turned around
attached to the skull by common wood screws
A child would like to do it

In His Room He is gonna chase you in and out of a dream
You're not gonna thank him and I'm tired of this dream
Take him on occassion in the back of the room
If they don't show any affection he'll died in June

See the stab wounds in his hands
See him dying in his room
He's dying in his room
He's dying in his room
Heading for me, heading this way
He is coming, I don't care

I don't want to thank you, well I don't mind
Gave his only pleasures to a friend of mine
He's not gonna catch you in a lighted room
You don't thank him I know I should

See the stab wounds in his hands
You killed him, I don't care
Keep a promise, you would too
Keep a promise, you would too
See the silence in his head
He is coming, I don't care

We're not gonna make it, well I don't mind
They don't want to thank him, they don't have any time
In a conversation whom they don't know
They don't have any patience, they're becoming slow

See a famine in his head
See him coming at their heels
He loves you, give him a chance
I don't love him, I don't care
See him starving, give her hell
It is over, we don't care In His Room

Marigold (sur le single de Heart Shaped Box ) He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want

He's scared in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want

He's there in case I want it all
He's there cause I want

Moist Vagina (sur le single de All Apologies) She has a moist vagina
I particularly enjoy the circumference (I partook in Jane's circumference)
The perceptive walls of her anus (I'll be sucking warts off her anus)

I prefer her to any other
Marijuana

The Money Will Roll Right In ( reprise de Mudhoney au Reading Festival en 1992) I'm goin' to Hollywood, they'll see that I'm so good
I won't care how I feel, and I'll get to fuck Brooke Shields
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I want to be a star, I'm going to have a car
And you'll have to admit, I'll be rich as shit
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I would give you some, if you only would have treated me nice
You'll wish that you did, you'll feel pretty stupid
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

It's fun to be a star, it's nice to have a car
Yeah, you'll have to admit, that I'll be rich as shit
And I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

The money will roll right in

Spank Thru ( sur la compilation Sub Pop 200 ) This song is for lovers out there
And the little light in the trees
And the flowers have gingivitus
And the birds fly happily
We'll be together once again my love
I'll get you back, oh baby baby
I can't explain just why
We lost it from the start
Cause living without you girl
You'll only break my heart

I can feel it
I can hold it
I can mend it (bend it)
I can shape it
I can mold it
I can cut it
I can taste it (paste it)
I can spank it
Beat it, masturbate it

I've been looking for days now
Always hearing the same old
City boy won't you spank thru? (city girl, be faithful)
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could

Spectre (sur les demos Barnyard de 1989) To hope is admittance
Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics
Reflected images (Defective)
Don't be so selfish
Leaving the image (leave and manage)
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
Family is circuling
He having moved up (Hearing every movement)
All the styles of heresy (By the size of the milisead)
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company

Lay down easy
Right outside in the snow

Token Eastern Song (connue eagalement sous le nom Happy Hour) ---[Interpretation 1]
