1. Blew


If you wouldnīt mind I would like it blew
If you wouldnīt mind I would like it loose
If you wouldnīt care I would like to leave
If you wouldnīt mind I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe him when you discussed his stain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

You could do anything



2. Floyd the Barber


Hello Cobain come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair donīt be afraid
Steaming hot towel on my face

I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved

Barney ties me to the chair
I canīt see Iīm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-Pee pressed against my lips

I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved

Floyd lets others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Aunt Beeīs muff...

I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shaved



3. About a Girl


I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend I do... think you fit
this shoe
I do... wonīt you have a clue

Iīll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I canīt see you every night
Free

Iīm standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too
I do... keep a date with you



4. School


Wonīt you believe it
Itīs just my luck

No recess

Youīre in high school again



5. Love Buzz


Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please donīt deceive me when I hurt you
Just ainīt the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz



6. Paper Cuts


When Iīm feeling tired
She pushed food through the door
And I crawl towards the crack of light
Sometimes I canīt 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
Nirvana

Black windows of paint
I scratched 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 a flash of light
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 Iīm here with you!
To take you with me
Youīre right
Nirvana



7. Negative Creep


This is out of our reach
and itīs grown
This is getting to be
drone
Iīm a negative creep
and Iīm stoned

Daddyīs little girl ainīt a girl no more

This is out of our range
and itīs crude
This is getting to be
like drone
Iīm a negative creep
and Iīm stoned!

Fuck! Yeah! Drone! Stoned!



8. Scoff


In my eyes
Iīm not lazy
In my face
Itīs not over
In your room
Iīm not older
In your eyes
Iīm not worth it
Gimme back my alcohol

Heal a million



9. Swap Meet


They lead a lifetime that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make their living off of arts and crafts
They kind with seashells driftwood and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he 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 heart
Keeps the bitterness close to the heart



10. 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
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud.

Is he in an easychair?
Poop as hard as a rock.
I donīt like you anyway
Seal it in a box

Iīm new

Iīm who?
Iīm you



11. Sifting


Afraid to grade
Wouldnīt it be fun?
Cross, self loss Wouldnīt it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldnīt it be fun?
Some fear none
(Sun felt numb) Wouldnīt it be fun?

Your eyes... Teacher said,
Your eyes... Preacher said,
"Donīt have nothing for you"

Spell the smell
Wouldnīt it be fun?
Search for church
Wouldnīt it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldnīt it be fun?
Cold in gold (Cold in coals)
Wouldnīt it be fun?



12. Big Cheese


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

Big cheese Make me
Mine says, what the hell?

Black is black, no trading back
We were enemies
Show you all what a man is (Sure you are, but what am i?)

Big lies make mine
Mine says "Go to office"

Big cheese Make me
Message? What is it?

Black is black, no trading back
We were enemies
She eats glue, how bout you?



13. Downer


Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend your true country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland boring plain

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Donīt feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that theyīre not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words for you to follow along
I sink and then some

Slippery pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst
