"Heartbreaker!"
"I dont know how to play it!"
Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Annies back in town
It wont take long, just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new, but the face the same as it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile
"Solo! Do a solo! Solo!" |
A while ago, I found myself in bloody exhaust grease London again with an all-consuming urge to hunt for two rare things: back issues of NME rumored to be secretly hidden in glass casings and submerged in the fry vats of every kebab machine in the U.K.and the very-out-of-print first Raincoats LP
The NME search was a clever, saucy upstart of an attempt to be, uh, nasty. However, the Lord and Julian Cope himself know how we need, need, need, the NME to embrace the unifying hands of our children across this big blue marble and NIRVANAs tarty musical career. So please bless us again -- well forever feed off of your high-calorie boggy turbinates
In an attempt to satisfy the second part of my quest, I went to the Rough Trade shop and, of course, found no Raincoats record in the bin. I then asked the woman behind the counter about it and she said "well, it happens that Im neighbors with Anna and she works at an antique shop just a few miles from here." So she drew me a map and I started on my way to Annas
Sometime later, I arrived at this elfin shop filled with something else Ive compulsively searched for over the past few years -- really old fucked up marionette-like wood carved dolls . Lots of them... Ive fantasized about finding a shop filled with so many. They wouldnt accept my credit card but the dolls were really way too expensive anyway. Anna was there, however, so I politely introduced myself with a fever-red face and explained the reason for my intrusion. I can remember her mean boss almost setting me on fire with his glares. She said "well, I may have a few lying around so, if I find one, Ill send it to you ." I left feeling like a dork, like I had violated her space, like she probably thought my band was tacky
A few weeks later I received a vinyl copy of that wonderfully classic scripture with a personalized dust sleeve covered with xeroxed lyrics, pictures, and all the members signatures. There was also a touching letter from Anna. It made me happier than playing in front of thousands of people each night, rock-god idolization from fans, music industry plankton kissing my ass, and the million dollars I made last year. It was one of the few really important things that Ive been blessed with since becoming an untouchable boy genius
It was as rewarding as touring with Shonen Knife and watching people practically cry with joy at their honesty. It made people happy and it made me happy knowing that I had helped bring them to the UK
It was as rewarding as the last Vaselines show in Edinburgh. They reformed just to play with us in their home town, probably having no idea how exciting and flattering it was for us
It was as rewarding as being asked to support Sonic Youth on two tours, totally being taken under their wing and being showed what dignity really means
It was as rewarding as the drawings Daniel Johnston sent me, or the Stinky Puffs single from Jad Fairs son, or playing on the same bill as Greg Sage in L.A., or being asked to help produce the next Melvins record, or being on the Wipers compilation, or Thor from T.K. giving me a signed first edition of Naked Lunch, or making a friend like Stephen Pavlovic -- our Australian tour promoter who sent me a Mazzy Star LP on vinyl, or playing "The Money Will Roll Right In" with Mudhoney, or having the power to insist on bringing Bjorn Again to the Reading Festival, or being able to afford to bring my friend Ian along on tour just to have a good time, or paying Calamity Jane five-thousand dollars to be heckled by twenty thousand macho boys in Argentina, or asking my friends Fits Of Depression to play with us at The Seattle Coliseum, or playing with Poison Idea at a No On Nine benefit in Portland organzied by Gus Van Zandt, or being a part of oen of L7s pro-choice benefits in L.A., or kissing Chris and Dave on Saturday Night Live just to spite the homophobes, or meeting Iggy Pop, or playing with The Breeders, Urge Overkill, the T.V. Personalities, The Jesus Lizard, Hole, Dinosour Jr., etc
While all these things were very special, none were half as rewarding as having a baby with a person who is the supreme example of dignity, ethics and honesty. My wife challenges injustice and the reason her character has been so severely attacked is because she chooses not to function the way the white corporate man insists. His rules for women involve her being submissive, quiet, and non-challenging. When she doesnt follow his rules, the threatened man gets scared
A big "fuck you" to those of you who have the audacity to claim that Im so naive and stupid that I would allow myself to be taken advantage of and manipulated
I dont feel the least bit guilty for commericially exloiting a completely exhausted Rock youth Culture because, at this point in rock history, Punk Rock is, to me, dead and gone. We just wanted to pay tribute to something that helped us to feel as though we had crawled out of the dung heap of conformity. To pay tribute like an Elvis or Jimi Hendrix impersonator in the tradition of a bar band. Ill be the first to admit that were the 90s version of Cheap Trick or the Knack but the last to admit that it hasnt been rewarding
At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us -- leave us the fuck alone! Dont come to our shows and dont buy our records
Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song "Polly". I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience. Sorry to be so anally P.C. but thats the way I feel
Love
Kurdt

Shoot combustion at him, we dont fight with weapons, we fight with weak knees
I like the way he sucks my toes, I suck dick, dont worry bout hoes
I gave fellatio to my bro
I like the way he goes, "OwO"
Oh-oh
Hit from the back, give his bunda a smack
7-inch cock for when the opps lack
Combustion juice makes up for no MAC
Ayy, ayy
Wagwan G, take a pee
On my opps, Im Welsh, I eat leaks
Cum on him, we dont fight with weapons, grab his cock and squeeze
Had to check the doctor, turns out I have STDs, HIV
He said stay positive, so thats what I be
Doing and making my bruddas go shaky on dem knees
Huh
Wagwan G, take a pee
On my opps, dicks the sizе of a leak
Ejac on him, I aint no neak
Grab on that humongous monster, fucking bеat his meat
Sus, sus, sus

To hope is admittance
Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics
Reflected image
Dont be so selfish
Leave in me this
Follow it far
To find where you are
You havent 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 |
You better watch out
You better beware
Theyre coming from all sides of the country
You better beware
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Oh, no no no

Even if you had a sight

And forests have never grown
Its another light
And I can never have mine
Its not mine

Instead I hide
Ive 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 ever 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
Or a rose
Or aroused
And fine
Fine line
When I
Said "Night time"
When I
Could never kind
And I

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 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
She should have been a son |
Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my full fill
End it someday
Whats that sound?
End it someday
Whats that sound?
End it someday
Whats that sound?
End it someday
Whats that sound?
Broken heart and broken bones
Finger plaster cast and horse pills
One more quirky cliché phrase
Youre the one I wanna refill
End it someday
Whats that sound?
End it someday
Whats that sound?
End it someday
Whats that sound?
End it someday
Whats that sound?
Words are broken lives. Most people dont realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer

Youre always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesnt know the real surprise
Here she comes again
When shes dancing neath the starry sky
Shell make you flip
Here she comes again
When shes dancing neath the starry sky
You kinda like the way she dips
Shes my best friends girl
Shes my best friends girl
And she used to be mine
Youve got your nuclear boots
And your drip dry glove
And when you bite your lip
Its some reaction to love |
This is a hard, core beat
You even can dance if you like
You wont get in trouble
And if you had some space
You wont know who hit ya
You wont even give a fuck
Watching them take you away
Is it wrong or right
Yeah!
Whats with the wait you waiter
You only ate your garnish
I ordered spam and rice
Is this to say your fired
We danced on the tabletops
We only have a dollar
We ordered too many cocktails
Watching the weight of the world |
Sure I can shit anywhere
And I promise you here I will shit on this stage and Ill
Crawl in it, sound in it, falling down and I...
I choose to shit anywhere
And I promise to shit on your head if you want
I have a God and a father to flounder and follow my life anywhere
And always I will do what I need
God Im shit
Ill shit anywhere
And now I choose to shit on your face and Im, right
And God, oh God, oh wife
Why the hell am I not safe
Im new wave, Im new wave, Im new wave
Im new wave, Im new wave, Im new wave
Im old school, Im old school
Im new wave, Im a threat
Im a wave, Im away
I am wave and I shit anywhere that I please |
Ahh! Ahh!
We come from the land
Of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun
Where the hot springs blow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde
Sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ahh! Ahh!
We come from the land
Of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun
Where the hot springs blow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
So now youd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing |
Take a step out of yourself
Then you turn around
Take a look at who you are
Its pretty scary
So silly
Well, its revolting
Youre not much
If youre anything
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
Well, its revolting
Youre really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock
Who said "Dont look back"?
Dont believe em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
Cause theyre gonna try and get behind you
Dont you let em do it
You know what Im talkin about?
You hear me talkin?
You hear me talkin?
Its pretty scary totally
Oh its so revolting
Its pretty scary totally
Oh its so revolting
Its pretty scary totally
Oh its so revolting
Its pretty scary totally
Oh its so revolting
Take a step out of the country
Then you turn around
Take a look at what you are
Well, its amazing
Take a good look
Youre no big deal
Youre so petty
Its a laugh
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and round
Take a look at what you are
Its pretty scary |
Ready?
Even if you own a wide
Even if you rack, I may say
I could never want a bribe
Ive been there for matter, well said
In the someday, with my sound
In the someday, with my sound
In the someday, with my sound
In the someday
Even if you wanted light
I could never matter to play
Even if you want a life
Even if I like it, youre sad
In the someday, in my sound
In the someday, in my sound
In the someday, in my sound
In the someday, in my 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, in my sound
In the someday, in my sound
In the someday, in my sound
In the someday, in my sound |

So my tensions, feed me
Im fucking hungry
Degrade me
I want my gun back
Lifes a fucking résumé
Experience, credentials
Experience, the process
People freaking everyday
White lights, sitting inside
And then you get sicker, then you
Get a little better than a blasphemy
Mommy has a vendetta against daddy
Walls are set up
Baby is sad to find that daddy
Exploring only
Lifes a fucking résumé
Experience, credentials
Experience, imposters
People freaking everyday
White diligence, sickening, and pessimist
It is a lot worse than it appears on the cover of a...
Hold me, so my tensions
Degrade me, Im fucking hungry
Feed me, the walls of comfort
Exhume me, I want my complex back
Cold naked man, picked up his scabs
And fed them, to the pidgeons
Help him, hes so cornered
Kill him, you mercy mourner
Lifes a fucking résumé
Experience, credentials
Experience, the imposters
People freaking everyday
White lie, running inside
And then you get the complete sentence of a...
Hold me, fucking hoses
Help me, until my tensions
Graze me, Im really hungry
Degrade me, I want my complex back
Thank you, and good night |
Been dazed and confused for so long
Its not true
Wanted a woman never bargained for you
Lots of people talk and few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below
You hurt and abused telling all of your lies
Run arounds sweet baby lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby I dont know where youve been
Gonna love you baby here I come again
Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby but you push me away
Dont know where youre going only know just where youve been
Sweet little baby I want you again
Been dazed and confused for so long its not true
Wanted a woman never bargained for you
Take it easy baby let them say what they will
Wont hurt so much when I send you the bill |
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands
The end
No safety or surprise
The end
Ill never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some strangers hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
Theres danger on the edge of town
Ride the kings highway
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway West, baby
Ride the snake
Ride the snake
To the lake
To the lake
The ancient lake, baby
The snake is long
Seven miles
Ride the snake
Hes old
And his skin is cold
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and well do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?
The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father?
Yes, son?
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to...
Come on, yeah
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Fuck, fuck
Kill, kill, kill
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end
It hurts to set you free
But youll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end |

I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My momma used to dance for the money theyd throw
Poppa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Gypsies tramps and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us
Gypsies tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen he was twenty one
Rode with us to Memphis
And poppa woulda shot him if he knew what hed done
Gypsies tramps and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us

OK, thats where Im having trouble, because...
No, lets just do it once, because...
The problem that Im having is that Im so used to going all the way through and then starting by myself
Okay, so we do it once before you start singing?
The problem is that Im just not used to hearing Pat do that one chord thing
One more time
We passed upon the stairs
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasnt there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
Made my way back home
I searched for foreign land
For years and years, I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
For all the millions here
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world
Okay, thats—thats perfect |

Nirvana started as a live band . We played around for two years before the release of Bleach in June, 1989. At the time, Live shows were our bread and butter . Wed hit the road for months at a time... coming back with one or two grand... to be split three ways. In those days, that was as much "success" as we thought possible
The earliest performances on this album are brought to you courtesy of a sound board cassette recording of a December, 1989 show at Londons Astoria. "Breed" and "Polly" are taken from this show, the last date of a European tour supporting fellow Sub-Poppers, Tad
Early in 1991, the band signed with Geffen Records and acquired professional management. D.I.Y. fefll to the wayside
Nevermind was recorded in the spring of 1991. Following summer tours with Dinosaur Jr. and The Jesus Lizard, Nevermind was released in the fall. Immediately following the release, we went on a tour headlining small venues that culminated with a Halloween Homecoming Show at Seattles Paramount Theater. This show was filmed and recorded onto multi-track... yielding the version of Negative Creep, used in compliling this record
Two days later, the band left for another European tour. "School," "Been A Son," "Lithium" and "Blew" were all taken from a show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on November 25, 1991. The show was filmed and recorded on multi-track for Dutch TV. "Spank Thru," this version having been recorded on November 19, 1991 in Rome, was actually the first Nirvana song
While we were touring Europe, Nevermind was becoming all the rage back home. Though we were kept informed of the momentum, being so far away made us pretty oblivious to the extent of what was happening
We ended the year with a brief West Coast Tour. The bill included Pearl Jam and Nirvana and was headlined by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The second show of this tour was on December 28, 1991 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds . For whatever reason, our set was particularly aggressive that night - "Drain You," "Aneurysm" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" were all taken from this recording
Early in 1992, the band toured Australia and Japan. Later in the summer, we traveled to Europe to make up some Scandinavian shows we had to cancel on the previous tour. The touring highlight of the year, however, was a headlining slot on Englands Reading Festival. I have to say that hearing tens of thousands of people sing along with "Lithium" was a very cool moment in the history of the band. We were having fun playing and deciding to stretch the set out a bit - enter "Tourettes," a song which had been around for a few years
Following the release of In Utero in 1993, we once again hit the road. Using left over props from the "Heart-Shaped Box" video shoot as set dressing , we concentrated on working up a set that spanned the bands entire career and gave the audience a longer show than we had done on past tours. In that we were playing the "big" halls on this tour, it felt like we needed to bring along a "big" sound... ladies and gentleman, please welcome Pat Smear
"Scentless Apprentice" was filmed and recorded by MTV for their 1993 New Years special... recorded at a show at a pier in Seattle. "Heart-Shaped Box" comes from a sound board DAT recording from a show at The Forum in Los Angeles in December, 1993. We took "Milk It" from a sound board recording from the Seattle Center Arena. "Sliver" is taken from a board tape from the Springfiled Civic Center
In presenting this record, we hope that the ultimate allure of Nirvana as well as the passion that we had - and have - for the music we made is once again brought to the forefront. Let all the analysis fall away like yellow, aged newsprint. Crank this record up and realize the bliss, power and passion...
TOTAL NIRVANA!

Baby youre going Down In The Dark
Show my lonely night is fallen and I dont have very long
Think might of broke my boil
Within my face might burn
Youre gonna make it better for a little while
Baby youre gonna die someday
See you in your crowded wasted , then you start to fade
That when we start singing faster
I wouldnt wait so long
Wont get any easier in the Dark
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeahh
You Will, You Will, You Will.... |
And as the soft pretentious mountains
Gisten in the light of the trees
And the flowers sing in D minor
And the birds fly happily
Well be together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby
I cant explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl, you only break my heart
I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
He can cut it, She can taste it
Spank it, I can ejaculate it
Ive been looking for day glow
Always hearing the same old
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldnt think it ever could
I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
He can cut it, He can taste it
Spank it, I can ejaculate it
Ive been looking for day glow
Always hearing the same old
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldnt think it ever would
Ive been looking for day glow
Always hearing the same old
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldnt think it ever could |

You get to be
Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail
Oh lesser God
Oh you’re lonely
Oh lesser God
Oh youre 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
Driving me insane

When I looked you in the eye
I knew it was time for good-bye
You were the only one I had around
But you couldnt keep your feet on the ground
Run rabbit run
But whats that youre runnin for
Run rabbit run
You aint gonna run no more
Bye bye baby, bye bye bird!
Thought the cold sidewalk stones
Broke your little brittle bones
I know you were already dead
When the truck rolled over your head
Bye bye baby, bye bye bird! |

Kurt Cobain: I-I cant say that Ive heard a band who sounds like they rip us off, or-or have been influenced by us. And if they have been influenced by us, I hope theyve just been influenced by the-the sincerity that we try to-try to put off

In Billboard, the magazine published December 14, 1991, Nevermind was #6 in the CD hit ranking and the single Smells Like Teen Spirit was #23 in the single ranking. Nirvana used to be described as the hopeful band from Seattle before they produced the first record. However, Nirvana is now one of the most popular bands in the US. The music they play doesnt stick to any formalities and leads heavy metal in the new generation, therefore it is called Alternative Heavy Rock. I will neither write more details about Alternative Heavy Rock, nor investigate their music from professional eyes. Anyway, all I can say is that the music of Nirvana influences a lot of teenagers today
Nirvanas commercial success is the biggest mystery in the music scene. I dont want you to misunderstand. I didnt say Nirvana did not have enough ability to get Platinum Disk prize, but nobody could expect they would be such a famous band. The reason people think Nirvanas success is a mystery is that Geffen , sold only a few Nevermind at first but a lot of young people bought it and Nirvana got big money even then. But I think Nirvana themselves are very surprised about this incident. Actually, I had a chance to interview Kurt Cobain during English concert tours . He said the following:
"I didnt expect we would be so famous. I didnt even expect that our CD would be in the top 100 ranking in Billboard. You see, we had been in Europe before the great fuss. I dont want to relate with this fuss because I hate that a lot of fans are waiting for us at the airport."
Kurt Cobain seemed like he was saying "Dont lose your mind" to himself during the interview. Maybe they know a lot of musicians who lost their thoughts and became the toy of mass media. So Kurt Cobain is protecting himself before he goes the same way. Nirvana will come to Japan pretty soon so that you will be able to understand what I am trying to say. Because they will come to Japan, I will advise you about their concert. First thing I have to tell is that the concert is always unsociable. And also they are easily influenced by the environment so it depends on your luck whether the concert is very nice or boring
This CD is released just for Japan . Id like to introduce each song on this mini-album, but we dont even know what songs will be on the CD. By one Japanese record companys information, two of the songs from the Smells Like Teen Spirit CD single, which are Even In His Youth and Aneurysm. It may also include some songs which were broadcast by BBC Radio-1 in England. It may be just a rumor, but one of them may be their favorite song by the Vaselines
I think that most of the people who bought this mini-CD have Nevermind too. But if it is the first time to buy Nirvanas CD for you, I recommend you to experience Nevermind. Im sure youll like it too

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself

This song is for lovers out there
And the little light in the trees
And all the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily
Were together once again my love
I need you back oh baby baby
I cant explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl youll only break my heart
I can feel it I can hold it I can rub it I can shape it
I can mold it I can cut it I can taste it I can spank it
Beat it
Masturbate it
I been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol city boy
Wont you spank through?
I can make you do things you wont think you ever could |
and Curt Kirkwood]
Okay
Then there was some little, uh, I think that one phrasing thing
Yeah
Tried to fit the word in there and you say
Um, lets, lets save that one, lets do um...
What?
Shit
Lets do "Plateau" first
There he up and
Hey, hey funky bunch, can we try "Plateau" one more time?
Well try with that funk beat?
I was addicted to for a long time
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
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but dont be scared
Who needs action when you got words?
When youve finished with the mop, then you can stop
And look at what youve done
The plateaus clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work, it was fun
]
Theres nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but dont be scared
Who needs action when you got words?
]
Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses
Wouldnt help you if they could
Excuse me, can someone light that candle over there?
My flowers have been knocked over. Could we have someone come set them back up?
We spray some on the candles please |

Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down chair, dont be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face
I was shaved

Barney ties me to the chair
I cant see Im really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips
I was shamed
I was shamed

I sense others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bee, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Aunt Bees muff
I was shamed

Thanks for writing! Here at NIRVANA Central, the switch boards are buzzing, the conveyor belts are moving fast, and the crews are working double shifts towards the Septemeber 24th release date. The band, being the benevolent friends of the proleteriet that they are, just raised the coolies pay 10¢ to an even $1.50 an hour. The same price as the ALL AMERICAN MEAL at McDONALDS™.
NIRVANA, in special conjunction with McDonalds™, are proud to announce the NEVERMIND HAPPY MEAL™. The only way to receive NEVERMIND is when you buy the HAPPY MEAL™. It will not be available in stores, just like another project NIRVANA has been working on, NIRVANA PLAY CHARIOTS OF FIRE AND OTHER HITS. It will only be available through a special T.V. offer. And, as an added bonus, a book called NIRVANAS CRAFT SECRETS will be offered. It will show you all of our special touches for those sea shell macrame plant hangers and spray painted macaroni paperweights and much much more.
We are also doing a tour of shopping malls and county fairgrounds to promote out new record and book of craft secrets.
Also in the planning is a video cassette demonstrating how to have a tranquil day at the beach collecting driftwood and sea shells, and how to make the memory last by constructing a wall hanging with what you have found. Well have tranquil New Age music, along with step by step instructions so you can relax while you work. Rainbow and unicorn stickers will also be included. Look for it in 92.
Well thats all for now folks. See you soon.
Yours truely,
Kurdt, Chris, Dave |

Im afraid, Im afraid, Im afraid
Im afraid, afraid, ghost
Even if you have, even if you need
I dont mean to stare, we dont have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I dont even care, we could have all three

Truth covered in security
I cant let you smother me
Id like to but it couldnt work
Trading off and taking turns
I dont regret a thing
And Ive got this friend, you see who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
Ill arrest myself, Ill wear a shield
Ill go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Dont tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
Ill keep fighting jealousy
Until its fucking gone
And Ive got this friend, you see who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
Ill arrest myself, Ill wear a shield
Ill go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Truth covered in security

Trading off and taking turns
I dont regret a thing
And Ive got this friend, you see who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
Ill arrest myself, Ill wear a shield
Ill go out of my way to make you a deal
Well make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
And well share whats lost and what we grew
Theyll go out of their way to prove they still
Smell her on you
They still smell her on you
Smell her on you |
One baby to another says, "Im 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
I 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 dilated, Ive become your pupil
You taught me everything without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, Im 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, you, you
You, you, you
One baby to another says, "I’m lucky to have met you"
I dont care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
Youre my vitamins
I like you |

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 made her mother proud
She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have had another chance
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have..
Been a son, she should have...
Been a son, she should have...
Been a son, she should have...

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
Ill take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I cant see you every night free
Im standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you
Ill take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I cant see you every night free

Kurt, we have to do that, uh, power chord version again
Im on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life thats inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
Im so tired, I cant sleep
Im a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anemic royalty
Im on—
Were not gonna do the solo
No, thats alright
Im on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life thats inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anemic royalty
Hey, Kurt?
Yeah
You might, you might wanna try a little with Dave playing acoustic and Tom just sitting, just to hear how that sounds. Just like a, a verse or two
Okay
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life thats inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anemic royalty

Bell on door clanks, come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down chair, dont be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face
Im ashamed
Im ashamed
Im ashamed
Barney ties me to the chair
I cant see, Im really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips
Im ashamed
Im ashamed
Im ashamed
I sense others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bee, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andys clutch
Im ashamed
Im ashamed
Im ashamed |
Load up on guns, bring your friends
Its fun to lose and to pretend
Shes over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, its 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
Yeah, hey, yay
Im 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, hello
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, its 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
Yeah, hey, yay
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, its 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, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial |
Would you believe me when I tell you

Please dont deceive me when I hurt you

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
Isnt me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, plead myself
Got some rope, havent told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
And ask me to untie her
Chase would be nice for a few
Isnt me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, havent told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, please myself
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
Shes just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me the will of instinct
Isnt me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, plead myself
Got some rope, havent told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, please myself |
