About a Girl

Album: Bleach

Time: 2:49


I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend     
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... won't you have a clue

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

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

What's the season of love if you can't have everything
what's the reason of love if you can lose everything
what's the meaning of love, it's a crime if anything
what's the meaning of love, it's a crime, it's a crime

How can a culture can forget it's plan of yesterday
and you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyways
there's no need to talk to friends, nothing 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 it subtlely irritate, keep it movin' equally.
All I know is just the fact, where the world is 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
All i know is just the facts, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

Why doesn't she need him for a father?
Not only maidens can occupy my shack
Goring my manhood turns a man off.
Like Pepe LePew would say, 
Hey, hey, hey! -- then we clash!

I got my diddly spayed

She laughs about it.
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right.
Jacking themselves off polyester.
I wanna jump, this isn't right! 
Hey, when am I getting it back?

I don't know why,
I got a joke too silly to say.
Don't touch the balls.
I got a dick, Dick -- hear my fucking hate!

If you're wondering, it's gaining monthly.     (If your world is getting ugly)
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy.
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate.
Feeling can't help me romp
Bill just fuck me, take me anal
Billy'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
When ya gonna learn?

Instantly grown

Waiting in line

I don't even care
We could have all three

Don't feel guilty, master writing
 
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words for you to follow along

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

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

Drain You

Drain You

Album: Nevermind

Time: 3:44


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

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... have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

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

Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steaming hot towel on my face

I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm 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 Bee's muff...

I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shaved

Album: In Utero

Time: 4:07


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 paitent, 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 
I miss the comfort in being sad

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 meal a day, a meal, I say.              
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. 
  
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...
  Girls In Trouble
  It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
  No, GWC

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

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.

You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill

Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horse feels
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
 
In the someday what's that sound?
 
most people don't realize 
that two large pieces of coral, 
painted brown, and attached to his skull 
with common wood screws can make a child look like a deer

He is gonna chase you in and out of a dream
You're not gonna thank him and I'm tired of this dream
Take him on occassion in the back of the room
If they don't show any affection he'll died in June

See the stab wounds in his hands
See him dying in his room
He's dying in his room
He's dying in his room
Heading for me, heading this way
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

I'm long gone but I'll let you leave, you may decide on stopping me

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

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

Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz
