B L E A C H

Blew
----
If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe<P>

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

You could do anything


Floyd the Barber
----------------
Bell on a door ring, "come on in"
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face

I was shaved
I was shaved
I was shamed

Barney ties me to a chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips

I sense others in the room (Floyd lets)
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Aunt Bea's muff (Andy's clutch)


About a Girl
------------
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

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night for free

I'm standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too (to or two)
I do... keep a date with you


School
------
Won't you believe it
It's just my luck

No recess

You're in high school again


Love Buzz
---------
Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you<BR>
Just ain't the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz?


Paper Cuts
----------
When I'm feeling tired
She pushes food through the door
I crawl towards the cracks of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
A good hosing down

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate
I said so (I say so)
Nirvana

Black windows of paint
I scratch with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with the flashing lights
And take my family away

And very later I have learned to
Accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!
Don't take me away!
You're all (I've found)
Nirvana


Negative Creep
--------------
This is out of our range... and it's grown
This is getting to be... droan
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more

Yeah! Droan! Stoned!

Scoff
-----
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

Give me back my alcohol

????????
--------
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he/she will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show
Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps her photographs close to her/his heart
They keep(s) the bitterness close to the heart


Mr. Moustache
-------------
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow I am not proud

Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and give it cleaning
As I eat cow I am not proud

Easy as an easychair
Poop as hard as rock
I don't like you anyway
Silly little fucks (Sealed in a box)

I'm new

I'm who? (Damn you)
I'm you


Sifting
-------
Afraid to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self-loss
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some fear none
Wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes... Teacher said
Your eyes... Preacher said

Don't have nothing for you

Spell the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search for a church
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cold and coals
Wouldn't it be fun?


Big Cheese
----------

Big cheese Make me
Mine says, "Go to the office"

Big cheese Make me<br>
Mine says, "What'd it (I) say?" (live: Bloody Hell)

Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies
Show you all what a man is

Big lies Make my
Mine says, "Go to the office"

Big cheese Make me
Message? What is it?

Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies
She is glue how are you? (glue = good)

Ohhhhh, nice, (night) (right)


Downer
------
Butchered sincerity, act out of loyalty
Defend your true country, wish away pain
Hand out lobotomies, to save little families
Surrealistic fantasy, bland, boring, pain

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece, shun in bastard
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody says that they are not much like I am
I know I can make enough words for you to follow along
I sing your song

Sickening pessimists, hypocrite master
Conservative communists, apocalyptic bastards
Thank you, dear God for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst


N E V E R M I N D

Smells Like Teen Spirit
-----------------------
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?

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been (tribe)
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

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?

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial


In Bloom
--------
Sell the kids for food
-weather changes moods
Spring is here again
-reproductive glands

He's the one who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
And I say aahh

We can have some more - nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit - tender age in bloom


Come As You Are
---------------
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is your, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun


Breed
-----
I They're in my head

fffff fffff f f fffff f f fffff fffff ff
f f f f f f f f f ff
fff f f f f f f f fffff ff
f f f f ffffff f f ff
f f f f f f f f f
f fffff f f f f f fffff ffff ff

Lithium
-------
I'm so happy cause today I 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

I'm so lonely but that's okay 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

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 kill you - I'm not gonna crack


Polly
-----
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of 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 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

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


Territorial Pissings
--------------------
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions

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

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

Gotta find a way to find a way when I'm there
Gotta find a way - a better way -
I had better wait


Drain You
---------
One baby to another said,
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 because I like you

With eyes so dilated,
I've became 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

Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins because I'm like you


Lounge Act
----------
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything yoy need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone

I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you


Stay Away
---------
Monkey See, monkey do
I don't know why I'd rather be deal than cool
Every line ends in rhyme
Less is more, love is blind
Stay away
Give an inch, take a smile
Fashion shits, fashion style
Throw it out and keep it in
Have to have poison skin
Stay away
God is gay (,burn the flag)


On A Plain
----------
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command

I'm on a plain
I can't complain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense

One more special message to go
And then I'm done then I can go home



I N U T E R O

Serve the Servants
------------------
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
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
That legendary divorce is such a bore


Scentless Apprentice
--------------------
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 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

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


Heart-Shaped Box
-----------------
She eyes me like a Piceis when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was 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 conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself 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


Rape Me
-------
Rape me
Rape me my friend,
Rape me,
Rape me again.

I'm not the only one

Hate me,
Do it, and do it again.

Waste me,
Rape me, my friend.

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


Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
-----------------------------------------------
It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to hear you're asking wherever you get your way
I's so soothing to know that you'll sue me
This is starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad

In her false withness, 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


Dumb
----
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
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

Bask in the sun
fall asleep
Wish away
the soul is cheap
Lesson learned
just wish me luck
A suit will burn
wake me up



????????
--------
I don't learn (burn) I don't use (do) my method
Past prediction verifies
I take pride as the king of literature
Every day of every night (I'm very vain it ain't 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


Milk It
-------
I am my own parasite

I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Don't stay, to me (test me)

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit is her milk

Don't stay, to me (test me)

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 birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery


Pennyroyal Tea
--------------
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 enternally
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


Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
---------------------------
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 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


Tourette's
----------
Cufk, Tish, Sips (Fuck, Shit, Piss)

---[Interpretation 1]
Moderate Rock

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 (fire), 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!

Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart -- uhhhhhhh!

---[Interpretation 2]
Moderate Rock...
It's your enemy, no way!
Get out all the time of my heart
There's no enemy in my heart
Well I'm sick--a path in my heart (--of what I've found in my heart)
All the time I've been fucked--it's my heart
We're all also dead in my heart
Oh no! It's the fault of my heart
Oh no! It's the fault of my heart
We are...Tourette

---[What it really sounds like]
Moderate Rock...
It's your enemy, no way!
Get out all the time of my heart
There's no enemy in my heart
Well I'm sick--a path in my heart (--of what I've found in my heart)
All the time I've been fucked--it's my heart
We're all also dead in my heart
Oh no! It's the fault of my heart
Oh no! It's the fault of my heart
Hey!
Hey!
Heyyyyyyyyyyy!

Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart -- uhhhhhhh!


All Apologies
-------------
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should 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 freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are

I N C E S T I C I D E

Dive
----
Pick me, pick me, yeah
Let a long (alone), long signal (Live alone, lone single)
At least, at least, yeah
Everyone is hollow

Pick me, pick me, yeah
Everyone is waiting
Pick me, pick me, yeah
You can even pay them

Pain (Hey)
Dive
Dive in me (Dive, Dive, Dive, Die with me)

Kiss this, kiss that, yeah
Live alone, lone singlet, yeah
Everyone is hollow

Take me, take me, yeah
Everyone is naked
At least, at least, yeah
You can even swallow

Lick this, kiss that, yeah
Everyone is naked
At least, at least, yeah
Everyone is sated

Take this, take that, yeah
Everyone is hollow
At least, at least, yeah
You can eat my marrow

Prick me, prick me, yeah


Sliver
------
Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go (oh no)

Grandma take me home

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

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

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

Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone


Stain
-----
Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never leaves cause he's got bad luck
Well he never reads (reaks) and he never rusts
And he never sleeps cause he's got bad luck yea

I'm a stain


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 stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance (faltered)
She should have had another chance


Turnaround (Devo cover)
----------
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


Molly's Lips (Vaselines cover)
------------
She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me

She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as I stayed clean

Kiss, kiss
Molly's lips


Son of a Gun (Vaselines cover)
------------
Up up up and down
Turn turn turnaround
Round round roundabout
And over again
Gun gun son of a gun
You are the only one
That makes any difference
What I say

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away


New Wave Polly
--------------
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
Maybe 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 hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
Haven't told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please 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

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


Beeswax
-------
---[Interpreation 1]
Why doesn't she need him for a father?
Not only made us, but I can thrive on his shit.
Goring my manhood turns a man off.
Like Pepe LePew would say,
Hey, hey, hey! -- then we clash!

I got my diddly spayed )
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy.
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate.
Freely kill him, make it wrong.
Bill has brought me deep in idyll. (idyll / anal)
Billy Slim reminds me of someone.
I'm sick of being Mother Love Bone. (I understand your fear for the love boat)
Don't need to kneel 'cause they wanna jump rope.
And I say, loooooook!

I got my diddly spayed,
I got a little tail,

Ahhhh, I got no balls.
Don't throw that ball.
I got a ..huh! huh!
When ya gonna learn?

---[Interpreation 2]
?? seen him for a father
Not only maidens can occupy my shack
Gluing my manhood gism ?
Like Pepe Le Pew would say hey! hey!
And then we clutch!
I got my dingaling spayed

Shouldn't ask about it
Drinking, reflections, the wind blows just right
Jagged thumbs of polyester
I wanna jump, just isn't right-ight!
Wait'll I get it back!
I got my dingaling spayed

??
I got a joke too silly to say
Don't touch the balls
Lie down and dig dig
Am I fucking ready?
I got my dingaling spayed

And your wondering whats ??
Fiberglass insulated and the sky was cotton candy
Spawning helps ritual (Rachel) ovulate
Feeling can't help me romp
Bill just fuck me, take me idle
Philly's slit reminds me of someone
I'm sick of paying for the love boat
Tony and Tenille say wanna jump rope
And I say look!

I got my penis spayed
I got a little tail!
I got my dingaling spayed
...nothing hard
I gotta be around pussy
Don't let me fall
I got a heh-heh...well you can't live!
We got my dingaling spayed


Mexican Seafood
---------------
Oh, itchy flakes, it isn't through me (Oh, it's your face, it isn't even)
Till the jaw's in flames, it's entertaining
True, the fungus mold is my attraction
Oh, it's only a dys-infection

Only hurts a night, until I pee (tonight / pay)
Only hurts a night, until I sleep

Oh, coming up, and diarrhea
On the tile floor, a gum of pizza
In the toilet bowl, aroma cloudy
Toss, feel it burn, become a chowdered mess

Only hurts a night, until I pee (plea)
Only hurts a night, until I sleep (sing)

Oh, take my bed, I've just consumed some
Flies. Bugs and fleas and even mucus
Stain the Vaseline, and tainted burgers
Stop, in case it learns, and takes a joke as such.


Hairspray Queen
---------------
I was your mine, you were mine, my enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,
You were, mine, I was once your en...aaahh

You rang
Your ears rang

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, we'll go...gaaahhh (god)

Wishful goddess, at night
Wish the hardest, at night
Wishful goddess, at night
Wishful gaaahhh (god)

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, you were so modest
At night, Crisco lovefest
At night, a mouthful on me
It's like, fish-filled garbage
At night, we'll go...gaaahhh (god)



Aero Zeppelin
-------------
What's the season of love if you can't have everything?
What's the reason you're around if a crime means anything?
What's the meaning in a crime? It's a crime if anything.
What's the meaning of love? It's grand, it's grand.

How a culture comes again, it's a crime of yesterday.
And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway.
There's no need to talk to friends, nothin' new is everyday.
You could shit upon the stairs,
You'll be friends

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly.
Should the siren irritate, keep it movin' equally.
Not to know is just the fact, we're a problem nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway.

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally
Not to know is just the facts, we're worse nowadays.
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

Hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? hey?


Big Long Now
------------
It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through (She is new, improved)
Can we show our faces now?
I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

In this clime
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speak a phrase (Sh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh

Beat me outta me, beat it, beat it

Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huhr>
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and shoot the shit, uh-huh

She gives the perfect strain to my heart

Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam (Vaselines cover)
----------------------------
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee.


The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie cover)
--------------------------
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I 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 for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World



Plateau (Meat Puppets cover w/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

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 took was fun

Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Others decided that it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could


Oh, Me (Meat Puppets cover w/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
sweetened with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me


Lake Of Fire (Meat Puppets cover w/Meat Puppets)
------------
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

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

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
Fight to claim them for their own


Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Leadbelly cover)
------------------------------
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

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


R A R I T I E S

Blandest (1988 Demos)

Born In A Junkyard (Where Were You In '89, Leeds, 10/27/89)
------------------
I'm long gone from (vertical)
Somewhere South is stopping (me)
I'm long gone from the American Dream
YOu may decide it's not for me
I'm long gone but I'll let you through
You may decide it's not for you
I'm long gone, but I'll let you through
You may decide there's nothing theree

Born in a junkyard (x8)

Gone

I'm long gone but I'll let you through
You may decide that it's not that good
I'm long gone but I'll let you leave
You may decide on stopping me

(repeat 2nd verse)
(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)

Gone (x16)


Curmudgeon (Lithium single)
----------
---[Interpretation 1]
I can't hide, no
On the mantle
I'm not sad
Tilling that hoe

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
Cheat on me
At the seams

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

In the handle
On the mantle
I'm not Santa
I'm not God

I want a lady
Can you save me?
It's the sulfur
I have grown
Tis the season
I'm all reason
I have fleas
All I have hoed

---[Interpreation 2]
I can handle, on the mantle
I'm not sad, 'til I'm home

'Tis the season, and I'm all reason
I have seen and I have grown

She's at the seams
She don't need (x3)
In the seams (x3)
She don't need
Not the seams

I'm a lecher, on the planter
I've set something in the (guard)

In the handle, on the mantle
I'm not Santa, I'm as (good)

She's at the seams
She don't need (x4)
Nothin' seems
At the seams (x2)
She don't need

(solo)

My model lady, can you save me?
It's the sulfur I have drunk

'Tis the season, and I'm all reason
I have fleas, so run on home

She's at the seams
She don't need (x6)
At the seams (x2)
She don't need


D-7 (Greg Sage and the Wipers cover; Hormoaning)
---
Straight as an arrow
Defect, defect
Not straight, not so straight
Reject, reject
Towards anti-social
Solo, solo
Standing on the stairs
Cold, cold morning
Ghostly image of fear
Mayday, mayday
Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them

Demension seven


Do You Love Me? (Kiss cover;C/Z tribute compilation)
---------------
You really like my limousine
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows

But...
Do you love me?
Really love me?
Do you love me?

You like the credit cards and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars

You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the moeny honey that I make

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
>From all of the magazines

[heckling]

Endless, Nameless (Non-Nevermind track called The End Of Music)

Take me, take me
See I can, silence

Here I am, here I aaaaaaam -- heellp!

Mother, Father
Father, Mother

Silence, here I am
Take me, see I can
Silence, see I can
Silence, see I can
Silence, see I am -- aaoohhh!

The (yearning's) after peace, ( may be: the journey's after peace)
I really think so

The (yearning's) after peace,
I really think so

Mother, Mama
Father, Mama


Even In His Youth (Hormoaning, Smells... single)
-----------------
Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was something
Disgrace to family name he was something (Against the family name)
(Smears the family name)
Leave this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave

Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back again...
I'm dying!
Even in his youth (x6)


Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip (In Utero imports)
-------------------------------------------------
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 mil a day, a mil, I say. (meal)
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,
and 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.

(solo)

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...
(Dave: inaudible)
It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
No, GWC

Fuck, man, this is a waste of time!
(laughs) One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh!

(solo)

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.

Aah, if she ever comes now now

Aah, she looks so good

I Hate Myself And Want To Die (B&B compilation)
-----------------------------
Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my full fill

In the someday -- What's that sound?
End it someday -- What's that song?

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger pressing down the horse pills (Finger plaster-cast of the horse pills)
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I wanna refill (You don't wanna wanna read them)

(spoken very softly behind the guitar)

(Words are broken lives)
Five pieces of board, turned around
attached to the skull by common wood screws
A child would like to do it
He is coming, I don't care

I don't want to thank you, well I don't mind
Gave his only pleasures to a friend of mine
He's not gonna catch you in a lighted room
You don't thank him I know I should

See the stab wounds in his hands
You killed him, I don't care
Keep a promise, you would too
Keep a promise, you would too
See the silence in his head
He is coming, I don't care

We're not gonna make it, well I don't mind
They don't want to thank him, they don't have any time
In a conversation whom they don't know
They don't have any patience, they're becoming slow

See a famine in his head
See him coming at their heels
He loves you, give him a chance
I don't love him, I don't care
See him starving, give her hell
It is over, we don't care In His Room


Marigold (Heart Shaped Box single)
--------
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 scared cause I want

He's there in case I want it all
He's there cause I want


Moist Vagina (All Apologies single)
------------
She has a moist vagina
I particularly enjoy the circumference (I partook in Jane's circumfrence)
The perceptive walls of her anus (I'll be sucking warts off her anus)

I prefer her to any other
Marijuana


The Money Will Roll Right In (Mudhoney cover, Reading Festival 1992)
----------------------------
I'm goin' to Hollywood, they'll see that I'm so good
I won't care how I feel, and I'll get to fuck Brooke Shields
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I want to be a star, I'm going to have a car
And you'll have to admit, I'll be rich as shit
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I would give you some, if you only would have treated me nice
You'll wish that you did, you'll feel pretty stupid
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

It's fun to be a star, it's nice to have a car
Yeah, you'll have to admit, that I'll be rich as shit
And I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

The money will roll right in

Spank Thru (Sub Pop 200 compilation)
----------
This song is for lovers out there (This song I once felt)
And the little light in the trees
And the flowers have gingivitus
And the birds fly happily
We'll be together once again my love
I'll get ya back, oh baby baby)
I can't explain just why
We lost it from the start
Cause living without you girl
You'll only break my heart

I can feel it
I can hold it
I can mend it (bend it)
I can shape it
I can mold it
I can cut it
I can taste it (paste it)
I can spank it
Beat it, masturbate it

I've been looking for days now (day-glow?)
Always hearing the same old
City boy won't you spank thru? (city girl, be faithful)
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could

Spectre (1989 Barnyard Demos)
-------
To hope is admittance
Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics
Reflected images (Defective)
Don't be so selfish
Leaving the image (leave and manage)
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
Family is circuling
He having moved up (Hearing every movement)
All the styles of heresy (By the size of the milisead)
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company

In your own language please
In your own (room)

Waiting for a house to ?

? live forever
??

Lay down easy
Right down to the start
Lay down easy
Right outside in the snow
??
? whore
??
??

Token Eastern Song (commonly known as Happy Hour on bootlegs, Virgin Songs)
------------------
---[Interpretation 1]
I can read, I can write
I can breathe, proven fact
Bless my greed, greased unfold (That's my greed, it's twofold)

Is it me, or my ego (Isn't me)
Write some words, make them rhyme
This is for the story line
Set the mood, something new

Is it me, or my attitude?

If you want
To put on (To belong)
And it meant (Have you been)
The extremes
Acted out (Happy Hour)
Practicing (Practice sing)
Perfecting (Perfect team)
Break to read (Talk to me)
On to me (After me, until me)

I can wait in the fire (I will raise an effect)
I can explain your cycle (To explain to sight)
Vital Signs (By the time)
With your breath I will show you mine (The lass is ...)
I stink in here my boy

---[Interpretation 2]
I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven flight
