Drain You (Cobain, Nirvana) - 3:34

One baby to another says -
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
I like you

With eyes so dialated,
I've become 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

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

One baby to another says -
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
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I'm like you

Aneurysm (Cobain, Grohl, Novoselic) - 4:31

Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and do the twist

Beat me outta me (x8)

Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and shoot the shit

Beat me outta me (x8)

She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart (x8)

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Cobain, Grohl, Novoselic) - 4:47

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? (x3)
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
Yay!
Hey (x2)

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? (x3)
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
Yay!
Hey (x2)

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? (x3)
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

A denial !! (x9)

Been a Son (Cobain) - 2:07

- One, Two, Three, Four!

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 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

(x2)
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 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

Lithium (Cobain) - 4:10

I'm so happy 'cause 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 (x6)

I'm so happy 'cause today
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 (x6)

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 love you - I'm not gonna crack
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 killed you - I'm not gonna crack

I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze ...
'Cause I've found god

Sliver (Channing, Cobain, Novoselic) - 1:55

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 (x7)
Wanna be alone

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

Never take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone

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

Never take me home (x7)
Wanna be alone

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

Never take me home (x14)
I wanna be alone

Spank Thru (Cobain) - 3:10

This song is for the lovers out there (Alt: The summer was melting)
And all the lights on the trees
All the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily

We're together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby

I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl, you only break my heart ... Yeah!

I can feel it, I can hold it, I can pin it, shape it, mold it,
I can cut it, I can taste it, spank it
Beat it while you ... Ah, wait here

I've been looking for days now (Alt: I've been looking for day glow)
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could (Alt: I can make it do things you never think it ever do)

I can feel it, I can hold it, pin it, shape it, mold it,
We can cut it We can taste it, spank it
Beat it 'till you ... Ah, wait here

I've been looking for days now (Alt: I've been looking for day glow)
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could (Alt: I can make it do things you never think it ever do)

I've been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could
You won't think you ever could

Scentless Apprentice (Cobain, Grohl, Novoselic) - 3:31

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 away, get a-way

Heart Shaped Box (Cobain) - 4:41

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn 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

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

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)

Milk It (Cobain) - 3:45

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

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

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!

Negative Creep (Cobain) - 2:43

This is out of our reach
Out of our reach (x2)
And it's gone

This is getting to be
Getting to be (x2)
A drone

Negative creep (x3)
And I'm stoned!

Negative creep (x3)
And I'm ...

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x4)

Out of our reach (x3)
And it's gone

Getting to be (x3)
A drone

Negative creep (x3)
And I'm stoned!

Negative creep (x3)
And I'm ...

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x4)

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x8)

Polly (Live) (Cobain, Nirvana) - 2:30

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off 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 cut 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 cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut 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 cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly said

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

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Want me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Breed (Cobain, Nirvana) - 3:28

I don't care (x2)
Care, care, care, care if I'm old
I don't mind (x3)
Mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away (x2)
Away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind (x2)
Mind, mind, mind ...

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't even care
We could have a tree
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have a tree
She said (x8)

Get away (x2)
Away, away, away from your home
I don't mind (x3)
Mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away (x2)
Away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind (x2)
Mind, mind, mind ...

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't even care
We could have a tree
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could build a tree
She said (x8)

Even if you have
Even if you need

I don't even care
We could have a tree
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said (x12)

Tourette's (Cobain) - 1:55

- Hey bootleggers!
So, this is a new song and we don't really feel like ..
Actually going through the trouble of putting it out ourselves, so ...
- This song is called "The Eagle has Landed" !
Yeah, and its for all of you bootleggers to go ahead and go !

Try to find something fast, in my eyes
Oh no, that's ok, phone home
Everthing tastes the same, in my eyes
Every day, every taste, in my eyes

Hey! (x3)

Every time it's in his chin, in my eyes
Everything Tennesees, phone home
Bring it down, at the town, in my eyes
Bring it in, set it's in, in my eyes

Hey! (x3)

Try it's sound, something found, it ain't us
Round down, at the town, go home
Round down, something in, mean us
Every taste, something fake, gross

Hey! (x3)

Take ...
Mean heart ...
Mean hearts ...(x3)



Alternate version


Down down such a fast, in my eyes
Won't ever let you down, flown home
Granted to your sense of sound, oh my eyes
You and me it contains, my heart

Hey! (x3)

Go dark sound check, my eyes
Everything teddy sees, is all wrong
Burnin' down half the town, and my house
Entertaining suicide, well my heart

Hey! (x3)

Jonestown such a frown, see yours
Riddle meal left the town, or go home
Rarin' round such a day, for me uh ..
Hitch a train to Santa Fe, or go horse

Hey! (x3)

Take ...
Mean horse ...
Mean horse ...(x3)

Blew (Cobain) - 3:36

- Thank you for your patience!

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't care I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to leave
If you wouldn't care I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew was stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't care I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to leave
If you wouldn't care I would like to breathe

(x2)
Is there another reason for your stain

(x8)
You could do anything
