Something In The Way lyrics - nirvana

Underneath the bridge 

The tarp has sprung a leak 

And the animals I've trapped 

Have all become my pets 

And I'm living off of grass 

And the drippings from the ceiling 

It's okay to eat fish 

'Cause they don't have any feelings 

[x2]

Something in the way, mmm 

Something in the way, yeah, mmm 

Underneath the bridge 

The tarp has sprung a leak 

And the animals I've trapped 

Have all become my pets 

And I'm living off of grass 

And the drippings from the ceiling 

It's okay to eat fish 

'Cause they dont't have any feelings 

[x4]

Something in the way, mmm 

Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Plateau lyrics - Nirvana

(originally by The 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 was fun

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop

And an illustrated book about birds

You see a lot up there but don't be scared

Who needs action when you got words

Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau

Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico

Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood

But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Oh, Me lyrics - NIrvana

(originally by The 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

Sprinkled with emotion

Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me

My whole expanse I cannot see

I formulate infinity

Stored deep inside me

If I had to lose a mile

If I had to touch feelings

I would lose my soul

The way I do

I don't have to think

I only have to do it

The results are always perfect

And that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice

Sprinkled with emotion

Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me

My whole expanse I cannot see

[x2]

I formulate infinity

Stored deep inside me

Lake Of Fire lyrics - Nirvana

(originally by The Meat Puppets)

Where do bad folks go when they die?

They don't go to heaven where the angels fly

They go to the lake of fire and fry

Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth

She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth

She went to her grave just a little too soon

And she flew away howling on the yellow moon

Where do bad folks go when they die?

They don't go to heaven where the angels fly

They go down to the lake of fire and fry

Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

Now the people cry and the people moan

And they look for a dry place to call their home

And try to find some place to rest their bones

While the angels and the devils try to make them their own

Where do bad folks go when they die?

They don't go to heaven where the angels fly

They go down to the lake of fire and fry

Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

All Apologies lyrics - Nirvana

What else should I be

All apologies

What else should I say

Everyone is gay

What else should I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Married

Buried

I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything is my fault

I'll take all the blame

Aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezer burn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

[x2]

Married

Buried

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

[x13]

All in all is all we are.

Where Did You Sleep Last Night? lyrics - Nirvana

(originally by Lead Belly)

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man

Just about a mile from here

His head was found in a driving wheel

But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

Serve The Servants lyrics - Nirvana

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 [x4]

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 [x4]

That legendary divorce is such a bore

Serve the servants - Oh no [x7]

That legendary divorce is such a bore

Scentless Apprentice lyrics - Nirvana

Like most babies smell like butter

His smell smelled like no other

He was born scentless and senseless

He was born a scentless apprentice

Go away - get away, get a-way

Every wet nurse refused to feed him

Electrolytes smell like semen

I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets

There are countless formulas for pressing flowers

Go away - get away, get a-way

I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms

Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume

You can't fire me because I quit!

Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit

Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way

Heart-Shaped Box lyrics - NIrvana

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks

I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back [Alt: ... when you turn black]

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey! Wait! [Alt: Hate! Haight!]

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet

Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath

Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Your advice

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks

I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back [Alt: ... when you turn black]

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Your advice [x3]

Rape Me lyrics - Nirvana

Rape me

Rape me my friend

Rape me

Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Hate me

Do it and do it again

Waste me

Rape me my friend

I'm not the only one [x4]

My favorite inside source

I'll kiss your open sores

Appreciate your concern

You'll always stink and burn

Rape me

Rape me my friend

Rape me

Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Rape me! [x9]

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle lyrics - Nirvana

It's so relieving

To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid

It's so relaxing

To hear that you're asking wherever you get your way

It's so soothing

To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad [x3]

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,

To see if they float or drown

Our favorite patient, 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 [x3]

It's so relieving

To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid

It's so relaxing

To know that you're asking wherever you get your way

It's so soothing

To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad [x3]

Dumb lyrics - Nirvana

I'm not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb

Or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy [x3]

My heart is broke

But I have some glue

Help me inhale

And mend it with you

We'll float around

And hang out on clouds

Then we'll come down

And have a hangover

Have a hangover [x3]

Skin the sun

Fall asleep

Wish away

The soul is cheap

Lesson learned

Wish me luck

Soothe the burn

Wake me up

I'm not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

My day is done

But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb

Maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy [x3]

I think I'm dumb [x12]

Very Ape lyrics - Nirvana

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

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

[x2]

Out of the ground

Into the sky

Out of the sky

Into the dirt

Milk It lyrics - Nirvana

I am my own parasite

I don't need a host to live

We feed off of each other

We can share our endorphins

Doll steak!

Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide

Lost eyesight I'm on your side

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing

Lack of iron and/or sleeping

I own my own pet virus

I get to pet and name her

Her milk is my shit

My shit it is her milk

Test meat!

Doll steak!

Look on the bright side is suicide

Lost eyesight I'm on your side

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing

Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Doll steak!

Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide

Lost eyesight I'm on your side

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing

Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Protector of the kennel

Ecto-plasma, Ecto-skeletal

Obituary every birthday

Your scent is still here in my place of recovery!

Pennyroyal Tea lyrics - Nirvana

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

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

Distill the life that's inside of me

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

I'm anemic royalty

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter lyrics - NIrvana

- Hmmmmmm ... I just wanna know ... do you like me?

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 ciggarette burns

Speak at once while taking turns

What is wrong with me [x3]

I'm gonna do with what you think

If you ever think at all

Bi-polar opposites attract

All of a sudden my water broke

I love you for what I am not

I do not want what I have got

A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns

Second-rate third degree burns

What is wrong with me [x2]

What do I think of me ?

Hate, hate your enemies

Save, save your friends

Find, find your place

Speak, speak the truth

What is wrong with me [x3]

What do I think of me ?

Use just once and destroy

Invasion of our piracy

Afterbirth of a nation

Starve without your skeleton key

[x2]

What is wrong with me [x3]

What do I think of me ?

Tourette's lyrics - Nirvana

Mayday every day, in my heart.

Could've had a heart attack, in my heart.

We don't know anything, in my heart.

We all want something fair, in my heart.

Hey!

Hey!

Heyyyyyyy! [x3]

Out of town, out of sight, is my heart.

Queen of lies, everyday, in my heart.

My heart, one more on the phone, my heart.

One more at the phone, at my heart

Hey!

Hey!

Heyyyyyyyyyyy! [x2]

Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart

Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart!

Uhhhhhhh!

All Apologies lyrics - Nirvana

What else should I be

All apologies

What else could 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 freezeburn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Married, Maried, Maried!

Buried!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

All in all is all we are [x20]

Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip lyrics - Nirvana

(other interpretations possible)

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 meal a day, a meal, I say

And my heart's made my ...

Somebody else already used the word 'aurora-borealis'

She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer

She's only five weeks late, but I haven't had a date forever ...

Ever ... ever ... forever!

Wish I had more ... more opportunity,

More chances to remember some things

So I couldn't have so much pressure on my ...

On my ... on my, um ... ah, on my ... um ... um ... head

We'd have so much more diversity,

And so much more input, so much more creative flow,

If we had someone in school, a 'GIT' ...

GIT ... geeks ... in ... town.

Ha! ... Come on, Dave, think of one ... !

Girls with trouble

It should be GIC, geeks with charvels

No, GWC, fuck man this is a waste of time ...

[laughs]

One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh!

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.
