Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Unplugged in New York

My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me when did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever she
I will 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 will 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 it 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 will shiver the whole night through

Nirvana - Very Ape - In Utero

I am buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary flies
I take pride as the king 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

[repeat second verse]

Out of the ground, into the sky
Out of the sky, into the ground
Out of the ground, into the sky
Out of the sky, into the dirt

Nirvana - Turnaround - Incesticide

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

Nirvana - tourette's - In Utero

May day, every day, my day
Could've had a heart attack, my heart
We don't know anything, my heart.
We all want something fair, my heart.
Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy!

Out of town, out of sight, is my heart.
Queen of lies, today, my heart
One more on the phone, my heart
One more at the door of my heart.
Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyyyyyy!

Me hot, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World - Unplugged in New York

We passed upon the stair
He spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as surprise
I spoke into his eyes
"I thought you died alone
A long long time ago"

"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 a foreign land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions there
I must have died alone
A long long time ago

Who knows, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Nirvana - Territorial Pissings - Nevermind

Come on people now, everybody get together,
gonna 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 there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait

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

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

[repeat chorus until ragged]

Nirvana - Blew - Bleach

They need 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 battleground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

Keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps the photographs close to her heart
Keep the bitterness close to their heart

[repeat verse]

Keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps the photographs close to his heart
Keep the bitterness close to their heart

[solo]

[repeat verse up to:]
She loves him more than she will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

Keeps the bitterness close to his heart
Keeps the photographs close to her heart
Keep the bitterness close to their heart

Nirvana - Stay Away - Nevermind

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
Stay away

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
Stay away
God is gay

Nirvana - Stain - Incesticide

Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never leaves cause he's got bad luck
Well he never reads and he never rusts
And he never sleeps cause he's got bad luck yeah

I'm a stain

Nirvana - Son Of a Gun - Incesticide

Up, up, up and down
Turn, turn, turn around
Round, round, roundabout and over again
Gun, gun, son of a gun
You are the only one
Who makes any difference what I say

The sun shines in the bedroom when we play
The raining only starts when you go away

Nirvana - Something In The Way - Nevermind

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

Something in the way

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nevermind

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored, self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
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, yeah

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

[repeat "hello" bridge and chorus]

[solo]

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

[chorus]
A denial [9X]

Nirvana - Sliver - Incesticide

My 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 [8X]

I had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew, my meat was good

Grandma take me home [8X]

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

Grandma take me home [8X]

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

Grandma take me home [about nineteen repetitions]
I want to be alone

Nirvana - Sifting - Bleach

Afraid to grade, wouldn't it be fun?
Cross says floss, wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed, wouldn't it be fun?
Sun felt numb, wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes, (the) teacher said, your eyes
Preacher said, your eyes, teacher said, teacher said

Don't have nothing for you

Spell the smell, wouldn't it be fun?
Search for church, wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed, wouldn't it be fun?
Cold in coals, wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes, (the) teacher said, your eyes
Preacher said, your eyes, preacher said, preacher said

Don't have nothing for you

Nirvana - Serve The Servants - In Utero

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 [3X]
The 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

Nirvana - Scoff - Bleach

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 [6X]
Gimme back my, gimme back my, gimme baaaaaaack

Heal a million, kill a million
Peel a million, feel a million
Heal a million, kill a million

[repeat all 2X]

Nirvana - School - Bleach

Won't you believe it, it's just my luck [4X]

No recess [3X]

You're in high school again [8X]

Nirvana - Scentless Apprentice - In Utero

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 soil 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

Nirvana - Rape Me - In Utero

Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [4X]

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one [4X]

My favorite inside source
I kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me (rape me) [8X]
Rape me

Nirvana - Radio Freindly Unit Shifter - In Utero

[spoken]
What's your name? Do you like me?
[end spoken]

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'd with cigarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
Second-rate third-degree 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

Nirvana - Polly - Nevermind

Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water
To put out the blowtorch

[official chorus lyrics:]

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

[what Kurt really sings:]

Isn't me, have some seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me, the will of instinct

Nirvana - Plateau - Unplugged in New York

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, shake the many hands

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You'll see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words

You finish with the mop and 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

Many a hand's 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, wouldn't help you if they could

Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea - In Utero

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 a liar and a thief
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry flavored antacids
