I have never felt this well (alt:I have never felt so frail I have never failed to feel) I have never felt to feel. I have never failed to fail Pain! [x3] You know you're right [x3]
I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Sterling silver begins to melt
(alt:Steaming soup against her mouth
Steaming soup begins to melt)
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never felt this well
(alt: I have never felt so frail. I have never failed to feel. I have never felt to feel. I have never failed to fail)
Pain! [x5] You know you're right [x17] Pain ...
"White Lace and Strange"
(Originally by Thunder and Roses)
(Radio Performance, 1987)
That is the way you want it.
You wanted it to be the way you like it. I
I'm no lover.
We wanted you to see it the way you wanted, all right.
I could be crazy
But I could be human.
I never wanted to open your eyes
I could be crazy.
But I could be human.
I never wanted to. yeah!
I'm no lover.
You wanted to be living up in the air, yeah (?).
I'm no lover.
But please let go of the human; that's me.

"Heartbreaker"
(Originally by Led Zeppelin)
(Live, 1987, first Nirvana show)
[Audience Member]
"'Heartbreaker'! You don't know how to play?"
Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new, but the face the same as it was so long ago. But from her eyes, a different smile
[Krist Novoselic] "Solo! Do a solo, solo!"
Hey fellas have you heard the news?
You know that Annie's back in town.
It won't take long just watch and see,
All the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face is the same,
As it was so long ago.
But from her eyes a different smile,
Like that of one who knows.
Well it's been ten years and maybe more,
Since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by,
Here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die,
By the wicked ways of love.
But I'll just keep on rolling along
With no grace from the Lord above
People talking all around,
About the way you left me flat.
I don't care what the people say,
I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind,
If you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name,
When I try to make love to you.
Work so hard I couldn't unwind,
Get some money saved.
Abuse my love a thousand times,
However hard I tried.
Heartbreaker your time has come,
Can't take your evil way.
Go away, heartbreaker
"Mrs. Butterworth"
(Rehearsal recording, 1988)
My life is shit, shit. My life is bogus, ball
My life is trite, cry. My life is hell, hell
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?
Your life is shit, shit. Your life is strange and insane
Your life is lame, a type of crap. Your life is jail, clam
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay? Your life is shit
I'ma open myself up a flea market (x2)
And you're gonna wish that you did
Might retire on the profits
First off, I'ma empty out all of my Mrs. Butterworth jars
I'ma put 'em on a shelf with my 800 dollar a month tax free Century 21, shop
And then I am going to put my Mrs. Butterworth syrup jars on the shelf
Next to all the commemorative fast food chain glasses and cups I've accumulated over the past 62 years
Then I'm going to get some plywood
I'm going to get some plywood and cut them up into two by two piece squares
Then I'm going to get some burlap and I'm going to cut them into two by two piece squares and then I'm going to put them onto the pieces of plywood
And then I'm going to go to the beach
I'm going to go to the beach and I'm gonna collect some shells and driftwood
And then I'm gonna take the shells and driftwood and glue them onto the plywood and burlap
And sell 'em for lots of money
People will be paying top dollar for my kids new used new toys and clothing
Then maybe someday I can get rid of that piss stained mattress I've been sleeping on
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, we'll start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?
"Here She Comes Now"
(Originally by Velvet Underground)
(Demo, 1990)
Now, if she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now...
Now, if she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now, now…
Ah oh, it looks so good
Ah oh, she's made out of wood. Just look and see
Oh, it's made out of wood
Just look and see now
She ever comes, she ever comes now
Now, now, now, now
She ever, ever, ever comes n-n-n-now...

"Ain`t It a Shame"
(Originally by Leadbelly)
(Demo, 1989)
Ain't it a shame to go fishin on a Sunday
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame to go fishin on a Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame to have a drink on Sunday
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame to have a drink on Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame to beat your wife on Sunday
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame to beat your wife on Sunday
When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Oh, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Ain't it a shame

"Very Ape"
(Solo acoustic, 1993)
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
"Don`t Want It All"
(Solo acoustic, undated)
To hope is admittance. Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics. Reflected images
Don't be so selfish. Leaving me this
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 circling
He having moved up. All the styles of heresy
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company
"Even in His Youth"
(Demo, 1989)
Even in his youth [x3] He was nothing
Kept his body clean [x3] Going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed [x2] He was something
Disgrace the family name [x2]
The family name, he was something
He was born for your crew
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 [x3] He was nothing
Kept his body clean [x3] Going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed [x2]
He was the same, he was nothing
Disgrace the family name [x2]
Family name, going nowhere
Leave this one, for your brew
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave. Aye-Yeah!
Leave this one, for your brew
I've 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 [x2] Yeah, yeah
"D-7"
(Originally by The Wipers)
(Radio appearance, 1990)
[x2] 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
Dimension seven [Alt: Dementia Seven]
Straight as an arrow
Defect defect. Not straight, not so straight
Reject reject. Towards anti-social
Solo solo [Alt: So dumb, so dumb]
Dimension seven [x7] [Alt: Dementia Seven]
