Heartbreaker lyrics - Nirvana

(originally by Led Zeppelin)

"'Heartbreaker'! You don't know how to play?"

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 the same as it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile

"Solo! Do a solo, solo!"

Anorexorcist lyrics - Nirvana

Look your legs are ashes
Charred into a special
Don't make noise you'll break
Your legs, your eyes and all
You're right

I was your incompetent
Man just read the furies
Special time but you can't
Make too much of him
Gray
Oh, oh

I was yours and closer
You were them in New York
Got me in to entertain
Your legs are in your legs

I was your end dancer
More than all I wish you
Got me under with the
Nice, nice, nice religious man
Oh, Oh...

White Lace And Strange lyrics - Nirvana

That is the way you want it
You wanted it to be the way you like it, I'm
I'm no lover
We wanted you to see it the way you wanted
It's all right

I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes

I'm no lover
You wanted to be living up in the air, yeah
I'm no lover
But please let go of the human
That's me

I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes

Help Me, I'm Hungry lyrics - Nirvana

Hold me, there's too much tension
Grade me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm fucking cornered
Grade me, you might be right

Lightning fucking around in my head
Fierce, dangerous, pathetic, fucked up
People freaking every day
White lights inside
What do you want

Cold naked man, picked off his scabs and
Fed them to the pigeons
Help him, he's fucking cornered
Grade him it might be fun

Lightning fucking around in my head, etc...

Hold me, something's happening
Help me, somebody help me
Hold me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm right here, who are you?

Naked man you say you saw
Fed them, to the pigeons
Help him, he's fucking cornered
Grade him, it might be fun

Lightning fucking around in my head, etc...

Help me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm fucking up
Hold me, some fucking help

Mrs. Butterworth lyrics - Nirvana

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
I'm gonna die
With my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna die
Don't fuck with me

Your life is shit
Shit
Your life is clean
It's clean
Your life is lame
Without some friends
Your life is stale, frail
Frail

I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna hell
Help my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna hell
Help my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna hell
Help my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna die
Watch the pain

Your life is shit

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
Gonna 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 Century21 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 piss-stained mattress I've been sleeping on

I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna hell
Help my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna hell
Help my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna hell
Help my libido
I'm gonna die
Start a new union
I'm gonna die
Watch the pain

If You Must lyrics - Nirvana

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
Thesis or story line
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude?

She said
If you want to put off an image
And you miss, the extremes
The extremes, act it out
Practicing
Perfecting
Pressuring
Onto me [x3]

I will wade, in the fire
To explain, your asylum
Idle times, analyzing
We'll compare, all our sightings, come on

I speak, to hear, my voice

Pen Cap Chew lyrics - Nirvana

[x3]
Oh lesser God
Oh loathe me

Oh oh ...

You get you get you get you get to me
Holy is the time its such an easy way to go
You get you get you get you get to be
Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail

[x2]
Oh lesser God
Oh loathe me
Oh lesser God
Oh your lonely

Waste your time by saving worthless gullables
Kill a Politician and then wear his clothes
This decade is the age of Re-hashing
Protest and then go to jail for Trespassing
Do you mean insane?

[x3]
Go Home ...

Raunchola / Moby Dick lyrics - Nirvana

("Moby Dick" - originally by Led Zeppelin)

If it's a hard, cold beat
You can go dance every night
You won't get it shown
It won't be missing the spice
You won't know that it hit ya

Nothing'll make you win
Even the law won't fight
Yeah!

Watching to wait, you waiter
You only age your gutters
I got respawned and rised
Seeking to save your garden

We can't go to the day lord's house
We only have your toner
We ordered too many cocktails
Watching the way of the world

Beans lyrics - Nirvana

Beans, beans, beans
Jessie had some beans
He was happy, happy, happy
And he ate some beans

Naked, naked, naked
Sitting cross-legged
Naked, naked, naked
And he was happy, happy, happy
And he ate some beans

Wine, wine, wine
Jessie had some wine
He was happy, happy, happy
And he ate some wine

Beans, beans, beans
Daddy ate some beans
And he drank some wine
And he was happy, happy, happy
As he drank some beans

Don't Want It All lyrics - Nirvana

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 lyrics - Nirvana

Clean up before she comes...
Living in a dusty town...

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 older...
I'm starting to eat my vegetables...

Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty town...
Clean up before she comes...
Living in a dusty town

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 older...
I'm starting to eat my vegetables...

Blandest lyrics - Nirvana

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 (Alt: 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


They Hung Him On A Cross lyrics - Nirvana

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
He never said a mumblin' word
He never said a mumblin' word 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

Ain't It A Shame lyrics - Nirvana

Ain't it a shame to go fishin' on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to go fishin' on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to go fishin' on a Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame?

Ain't it a shame to have a drink on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to have a drink on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to have a drink on a Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame?

Ain't it a shame to beat your wife on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to beat your wife on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to beat your wife on a Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame?

Ain't it a shame to go fishin' on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to go fishin' on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame to go fishin' on a Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame?

Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?
Shame! Shame! Shame!

Token Eastern Song lyrics - Nirvana

I'm not gonna make you croon
Something else is something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make you gruel
It's something else, it's something new
I'm not gonna make you through
It's something else, it's something new

Hold it in your gut...

I'm not gonna make you croon
Something sad, something blue
I'm not gonna make you scream
In this hour, it's something mean
I'm not gonna make it through
Something else, it's something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
In this hour, it's something mean

Hold it in your gut...

Opinion lyrics - Nirvana

Oh, this song's called "Opinion"

Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns
And it makes your story of concern
And they set it up before it burns

My opinions, hmm...

And there seems to be a problem here
And the scale of emotion seems to clear
Now they rise and fall like wall street stock
And they have an affect on our heartbeat's tock

Our opinions, hmm...

Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns
And it makes your story of concern
And you set it up before it burns

Your opinions, hmm...

Pay To Play lyrics - Nirvana

(Early version of "Stay Away")

Monkey see, monkey do - I don't know why I
Walk around, follow you - I don't know why I
Throw it out, keep it in - I don't know why I
Have to have poison skin - I don't know why I

Pay
Pay to play...

Walk an inch, take a mile - I don't know why I
Never faded, never smiled - I don't know why I
Never mind, eat and run - I don't know why I
Fuck your ass, for the fun - I don't know why I

Pay
Pay to play...

I don't know why I...

Pay
Pay to play...

Monkey see, monkey do - I don't know why I
Walk around, follow you - I don't know why I
Throw it out, keep it in - I don't know why I
Have to have poison skin - I don't know why I

Pay
Pay to play...

Here She Comes Now lyrics - Nirvana

(originally by Velvet Underground)

Now, she ever comes now now
She ever comes now now
She ever comes now
Now, she ever comes now now
She ever comes now now
She ever comes now
Oh, she looks so good
Oh, she's made out of wood
She said so
[x2]

Now, she ever comes now now
She ever comes now now
She ever comes now
Now, she ever comes now now
She ever comes now now
She ever comes now
Oh, she looks so good
Oh, she's made out of wood
Oh, she looks so good
Oh, she's made out of wood
She said so
[x2]

She ever comes now now...
Ever ever ever comes now now...

Verse Chorus Verse lyrics - Nirvana

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
Neither side is sacred
Crawling in the hole

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps it clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Taken time is all but 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

Taking medication
Till my stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
When I'm in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps it clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Taken time is weird but 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
We all just give in

Taking medication
Till my stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
When I'm in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps it clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Learn from history, all that’s true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Old Age lyrics - Nirvana

One more day to complete my service
One more high to decay my never
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
One more day if I find a way
Over

She seemed to read minds
And I know a later time
We could make it with you
Leave the soul

Old age, old age, old age, old age

One more day to complain my servant
One more doubt here to find a servant
One more time here if I find a way
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 to read minds
And I know a later time
We could make it with you
Leave the soul

Old age, old age, old age, old age

Just you need
And read
You're freak

And knew
You read
You flew

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 want to
One more day if I find a way
It's over

She seemed to read minds
And I know we were out of time
Breathe the way here with you
Dream the same on the dew
Breathe the same on her
Take a moan on a man
Breathe the shame on you
Breathe the lie

Old age, old age, old age, old age
Old age, old age, old age

Oh, The Guilt lyrics - Nirvana

She seems to think
She seems too weak
She takes a week to get over it

She likes the sea
She likes to see
She likes to think she has all of it

She likes the sound
She likes the sand
She likes to stand, she can't afford to sit

She likes to be
She's into guilt
Guilt

She likes to think
she likes to drink
She seems too weak, she takes all the rent

She likes the time
she owns the time
She borrows time to self-invent

She seems too weak
she likes to see
She likes to think she has all of it

She likes the sand
she likes to stand
She likes to sit
she likes to go
Go

She likes to be
She likes to go
Go

Curmudgeon lyrics - Nirvana

I can't hide, no
On the mantle
I'm not sad
Until I'm home

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
At the seams

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

In the handle
On the mantle
I met Santa
I met God

I'm a lady
Can you save me?
It's the sulfur
I have grown

'Tis the season
I'm all reason
I have fleas
So run on home

Return Of The Rat lyrics - Nirvana

(originally by Wipers)

You better watch out

They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no no no

You started this mess so see them through it
You better confess

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no no no no no

Well you better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no no no no no

I Hate Myself And Want To Die lyrics - Nirvana

Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my fulfill

End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger plaster cast and horse pills
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill

End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?

[Spoken:]
Most people don't realize
That two large pieces of coral
Which have been painted brown
and attached to his skull
With common wood screws can make a child look like a deer

End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?

Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my fulfill

End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?
End it someday what's that sound?

Moist Vagina lyrics - Nirvana

She has a moist vagina
I particularly enjoy the circumference
I'll be sucking the warts off her anus (Alt: The circular walls of her anus)
I prefer her to any other

Marijuana

She had a moist vagina
I prefered her to any other

Marijuana

The Other Improv lyrics - Nirvana

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
It's not mine
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...
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...

My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
It's hard and boiled
And, and sour all again
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
It revolves
Cause it's biting out what was
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your shit
My milk is your..
My milk is your..
My milk is your shit
My milk is piss
Don't you love that I can bite?

Marigold lyrics - Nirvana

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 there 'cause I want
He's there 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

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

Sappy lyrics - Nirvana

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with grass
And you'll think you're happy now

You're really in a laundry room
You're really in a laundry room
The clue just came to you, ooh

And if you cut yourself
You will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with grass
Then you'll think you're happy now

You're really in a laundry room
You're really in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, ooh

You're really in a laundry room
You're really in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, ooh

And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in his shit
Then you'll think you're happy now

You're really in a laundry room
You're really in a laundry room
You're really in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, ooh

Do Re Mi lyrics - Nirvana

If I may
If I might
lay me down weeping

If I say
What it's like
I might be dreaming

If I may
What is right
Summer time, see me heal

Those years in his blond head
The phrase from his pocket
Chains from the knowing lifelong dream

Do re mi
Don't rape me
Do re mi
Don't Rape me

If I may
If I might
wake me up, see me

If I do
If I like
Find me out, to see me

If I'm made
Cold as ice
I may have to see me heal

Raised in his own care
erased from his women
And chains from his socket I will need

Re mi
Re mi
Do re mi
Don't rape me
Do re mi
Don't rape me

wish me good
Wish me life
Find me out of season

In their way
Just be quiet
Follow pain and breed me

Yell r well
And if I sigh
Stake me out the TV

If I may
And if I might
Got a gun to bleed me

Raised in his pocket
erased from this moment
And chains from his owner in my tea

Re Mi
Re Mi
Re Mi
cremate me
Do re mi
Don't rape me
Do re mi

Talk To Me lyrics - Nirvana

Shake it down easy, shake it down sleazy, come on
Shake it down easy, shake yourself, Suzy, come on

Don't let me detain you
Try to ride along
Don't you lie, knowing
I am not sad
I am not silly
I am not chippin'
I am not chippin' away

Talk to me
In your own language, please
In your own
Talk to me
In your own language please

Shake it down easy, make it sound seamy, doll man
Make it sound now, make it full house, sad man

Leader of the band
Makes a mental hell
I won't weather it well
Well I never
Saw it with my arm
Paint it with my heart
Paint it with my eyes and make it right

Lay down easy, lay it down seamy, sad man
Lay down easy, lay it down seamy, sad man

You don't want to hear this
Nothin' but a whore
I will play the leader
With pain
Now you know I'm needy
Lay them down easy
Lay them down easy

Talk to me
In your own language please

Seasons In The Sun lyrics - Nirvana

Goodbye my friend its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
And all the flowers are everywhere
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
And I don't know all these words
I had boggy turds
With my b.b. gun I would kill birds

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

All our lives, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the world that we reached
Were just starfish on the beach

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
I was the apple of the shining sun
Another apple out of reach
All my tears are salty
I think now I was taught to weep

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
All the hills that we climb
Were the seasons out of time

We had joy. We had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hill on the beach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb
Were just seasons out of time

Ah the joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars that we reached
Were just starfish on the beach
