Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Load up on guns, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
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, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, yay
[Verse 2]
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift, I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
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, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, yay
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial
In Bloom (Nevermind version) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kurt Cobain]
Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain & Dave Grohl]
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
[Verse 2: Kurt Cobain]
We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain & Dave Grohl]
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain & Dave Grohl]
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
Come as You Are Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend
As an old memoria
[Refrain]
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
[Verse 2]
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As an old memoria
[Refrain]
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
[Chorus]
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
'Ria
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria (No, I don't have a gun)
[Chorus]
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
[Outro]

Breed (album version) Lyrics
[Verse]
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, care if it's old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, away, away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid, 'fraid, ghost
[Chorus]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
[Post-Chorus]
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said
[Verse]
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, care, care if it's old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, away, away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid, 'fraid, ghost
[Chorus]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
[Post-Chorus]
She said (She said), she said (She said)

We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three

Lithium Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so happy, 'cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day, for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze, 'cause I've found God
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm so lonely, 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
And I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay, my will is good
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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 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
[Verse 1]
I'm so happy, 'cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day, for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze, 'cause I've found God
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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 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
Polly (album version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blowtorch
[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
[Verse 2]
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
[Verse 3]
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me, the will of instinct
[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Territorial Pissings (album version) Lyrics
[Intro: Krist Novoselic & Kurt Cobain]
Come on, people, now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Mmm
[Verse 1: Kurt Cobain]
When I was an alien
Cultures weren't opinions
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
[Verse 2: Kurt Cobain]
Never met a wise man
If so, it's a woman
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
[Verse 3: Kurt Cobain]
Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean they're not after you
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, ah, ah, yeah
Drain You (album version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One baby to another says, "I'm lucky to've met you"
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube and end up in your infection
[Chorus]
Chew your meat for you, pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss from my mouth to yours
I like you
[Verse 2]
With eyes so dilated, I've become your pupil
You 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
[Chorus]
Chew your meat for you, pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss from my mouth to yours
I like you
[Interlude]
You, you, you
You, you
Ahh!
[Verse 1]
One baby to another says, "I'm lucky to've met you"
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube and end up in your infection
[Chorus]
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 like you
Lounge Act (album version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Tradin' off and takin' turns
I don't regret a thing
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowin' fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fightin' jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Tradin' off and takin' turns
Don't regret a thing
[Chorus]
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 make you a deal
We'll make a pact to learn from who
Ever—er we want without new rules
And 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
They still smell her on you
Smell her on you
Stay Away (album version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Monkey see, monkey do (I don't know why)
Rather be dead than cool (I don't know why)
Every line ends in rhyme (I don't know why)
Less is more, love is blind (I don't know why)
[Chorus]
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
[Verse 2]
Give an inch, take a smile (I don't know why)
Fashion shits, fashion style (I don't know why)
Blow it out, keep it in (I don't know why)
Have to have poison skin (I don't know why)
[Chorus]
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
[Post-Chorus]
(I don't know why)
(I don't know why)
[Chorus]
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
[Verse 3]
Monkey see, monkey do (I don't know why)
Rather be dead than cool (I don't know why)
Every line ends in rhyme (I don't know why)
Less is more, love is blind (I don't know why)
[Chorus]
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
[Post-Chorus]
(I don't know why)
(I don't know why)
[Chorus]
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
[Outro]
Yeah
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
God is gay
On a Plain (album version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high, I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, so what should I do?
The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, so what should I do? (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
I can't complain (Ooh, ooh)
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, so what should I do? (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
I can't complain (Ooh, ooh)
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
[Bridge]
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 tryin' to say?
[Verse 3]
It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, so what should I do?
One more special message to go
And then I'm done, and I can go home
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, so what should I do? (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
I can't complain (Ooh, ooh)
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
I can't complain (Ooh, ooh)
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
I can't complain (Ooh, ooh)
I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
I can't complain (Ooh, ooh)
(I'm on a plain) Ooh, ooh
(I can't complain) Ooh, ooh
Something in the Way (album version) Lyrics
[Verse]
Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped have all become my pets
And I'm livin' off of grass and the drippings from the ceilin'
It's okay to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings
[Chorus]
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
[Verse]
Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped have all become my pets
And I'm livin' off of grass and the drippings from the ceilin'
It's okay to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings
[Chorus]
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Endless, Nameless (album version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Silence, here I am!
Here I am, silent!
Bright and clear, it's what I am!
I have died!
[Chorus]
No más, no más
No más, no más
[Verse 2]
Death! And violence!
Excitement, right here!
Died! Go to Hell!
Here I am, right here!
Ow!
[Chorus]
No más, no más
No más, no más
[Verse 3]
Death is what I am!
Go to Hell, go to jail!
In back of that crime!
Here I am, take a chance!
Dead!
Die
[Instrumental Outro]
