If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose If you wouldn't care I would like to leave If you wouldn't 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....Floyd The Barber * * * * *
Bell on the door rings come on in 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 I sense 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 shavedAbout a Girl * * * * *
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 youSchool * * * * *
Won't you believe it It's just my luck No recess You're in high school againLove 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 Just ain't the way it seems Can you feel my love buzz Originally by ''Shocking Blue''Paper Cuts * * * *
When I'm feeling tired She pushed food through the door And I crawl towards the crack 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 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 I'm here with you! To take you with me You're right NirvanaNegative Creep * * * *
This is out of our reach x2... and it's grown This is getting to be x2... drone I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned! Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more This is out of our range... and it's crude This is getting to be... like drone I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned! F***! Yeah! Drone! 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 Gimme back my alcohol Give me all your...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 hearrt --Keeps her photographs close to her heaart --Keeps the bitterness close to the hearrtMr. 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 don't like you anyway --Seal it in a box I'm new [Now you] I'm who? I'm youSifting * * * * *
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 [Sun felt numb] 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 church Wouldn't it be fun? Wet your bed Wouldn't it be fun? Cold in gold [Cold in coals] Wouldn't it be fun?Big Cheese * * * *
Big 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 Sure you are, but what am I? [Show you all what a man is] 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?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? 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 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 thirstNEVERMIND (1991)
SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT * * * * *
Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
And to pretend
She's overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word
hello (x 16)
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
Yea
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
hello (x 16)
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
Yea
And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello (x 16)
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
Yea

In a daze cause I found God

I'm to blame for all I've heard
And I'm not sure

POLLY * * * *
Polly want a cracker
ThinkI should've offered first
Think she wants some water
Do put out the blowtorch
Is it me
Have a seat
Let me clip
Her dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Was a mouth
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Was a mouth
Please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she will like some food
She asked me to untie her
Chase her not nice for few
Is it me
Have a seat
Let me clip
Her dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Was a mouth
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Was a mouth
Please myself
{Polly said }
Polly said her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me with her instinct
Is it me
Have a seat
Let me clip
Her dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Was a mouth
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Was a mouth
Please myself
TERRITORIAL PISSINGS * * * *

Coal trains were not built yet

DRAIN YOU * * * *
One baby to another says
'I'm lucky to met you'
I don't care what you think of mess
It is about me
It is now
But duty due completely drain you
I try to prove
But you defend I pinned your affection
Showed me for you
Pass it back and forth
Here I'll fasten a kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
With blah blah blah
You made it I became your pupil
You taught me everything
About a poisoned apple
The water is so yellow
I'm a healthy student
I did a grade for fact
Your mouth for fluids
Showed me for you
Pass it back and forth
Here I'll fasten a kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
You
You
You
You
You
One baby to another says
'I'm lucky to met you'
I don't care what you think of mess
It is about me
It is now But duty due completely drain you
I try to prove
But you defend I pinned your affection
Showed me for you
Pass it back and forth
Here I'll fasten a kiss
From my mouth to yours
Slap it lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I like you
LOUNGE ACT * * * *
Truth, Come a little security
I can't let you smile for me
Liked you but I go to work
Turn it up, take a turn
Don't regret a thing
I got this friend, you see
Makes me feel
I want him more
And I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shirt
I'll go outta my way
To prove I still
Still love you
Don't, tell me what I wanna hear
Fraid I've never known a fear
Experience anything I need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Tell this F****** God
I got this friend, you see Makes me feel
I want him more
And I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shirt
I'll go outta my way
To prove I still
Still love you
I got this friend, you see
Truth, Come a little security
I can't let you smile for me
Liked you but I go to work
Turn it up, take a turn
Don't regret a thing
I got this friend, you see
Makes me feel
I want him more
And I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shirt
I'll go outta my way
To make you feel
Well make your pact
And learn from who
At the end we'll walk
Not with room
And we'll still watch out
Watching you
Still, still love you
They still, still love you
still love you

ON A PLAIN * * * *
Slap yourself
Without any words
I've got so high
I scratched till I bleed
Love myself
Better than you
Know it's wrong
So what should I do
Finest Day
That I ever had
Cause when I learn
Cry on the band
Love myself
Better than you
Know it's wrong
So what should I do
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
They said you see
And quote me I'm mad
Love myself
Better than you
Know it's wrong
So what should I do
Black she got
Black nails again
You got to put
She's offers a goat
Love myself
Better than you
Know it's wrong
So what should I do
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere out in love
There's a fourth
In a dream
There's memories stored
What the hell
Am I trying to say
Use that time
To make it all clear
To write off lies
That don't make a sense
Love myself
Better than you
Know it's wrong
So what should I do
One more special
Message to go
Then I'm done
And I can go home
Love myself
Better than you
Know it's wrong
So what should I do
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
SOMETHING IN THE WAY * * * *
Underneath the bridge
The top has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's ok to eat fish
Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way

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.
