Paper Cuts
At feeding time (Alt: When I'm feeling tired) She pushed food through the door (Alt: She puts you through the door) And I crawl towards the crack of light (Alt: I crawl towards the cursed alley) 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 (x3) Nirvana (x6) 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 at my way They come with a flash of light (Alt: They come with flashing lights) 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 Nirvana (x8)

Swap Meet
(x3) They lead a lifetime that is comfortable They travel far to keep their stomachs full They make their living off of arts and crafts The 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 heaart -- Keeps her photographs close to her heeart -- Keeps the bitterness close to the heaart

Aero Zeppelin
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 anyway There's no need to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday You could shit upon the stairs, you'll be friends You'll be friends (x3) All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly Should it subteley 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 Hey ...

What's the season of love if you can't have anything What's the reason of love if you can lose everything What's the meaning in a crumb, it's a crime if anything Where's the meaning of love, it's a crime, it's a crime How a culture can forget it's plan of yesterday And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway There's no need to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday You could shit upon the stairs, you'll be friends You'll be friends (x3) All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly Still the son will immitate, keep it fallin' equally Now they know it's just a fact, we're a problem nowadays An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyways All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally Now they know just the facts, where the world is nowadays An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyways Hey ...

Big Long Now
It's not cold enough Please put this side up She is moving through (Alt: She is moon grey) Can we show our faces now? I'm not interesting She's not turning green Shameful as it seems Can we show our faces now? Endless climb I am blind Why can't I leave? (Alt: Why can't I hear?) Color blind Speaking a phrase Instantly grown I am blind Waiting in line It's not cold enough Please put this side up She is moving through (Alt: She is moon grey) Can we show our faces now? I'm not interesting She's not turning green Shameful as it seems Can we show our faces now? Endless climb I am blind Why can't I leave? (Alt: Why can't I hear?) Color blind Speaking a phrase Instantly grown I am blind Why am I sure?

In Utero Lyrics
Serve the Servants
Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old Self-appointed judges judge More than they have sold If she floats than she is not A witch like we had thought A down payment on another One at salem's lot Serve the servants - Oh no (x4) That legendary divorce is such a bore As my bones grew they did hurt They hurt really bad I tried hard to have a father But instead I had a dad I just want you to know that I Don't hate you anymore There is nothing I could say That I haven't thought before Serve the servants - Oh no (x4) That legendary divorce is such a bore Serve the servants - Oh no (x7) That legendary divorce is such a bore
Scentless Apprentice
Like most babies smell like butter His smell smelled like no other He was born scentless and senseless He was born a scentless apprentice Go away - get away, get a-way Every wet nurse refused to feed him Electrolytes smell like semen I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets There are countless formulas for pressing flowers Go away - get away, get a-way I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume You can't fire me because I quit! Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way
Heart-Shaped Box
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back (Alt: ... when you turn black) Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! (Alt: Hate! Haight!) I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back (Alt: ... when you turn black) Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait!

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
It's so relieving To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid It's so relaxing To hear that you're asking wherever you get your way It's so soothing To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same I miss the comfort in being sad (x3) In her false witness, we hope you're still with us, To see if they float or drown Our favorite patient, 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 (x3) It's so relieving To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid It's so relaxing To know that you're asking wherever you get your way It's so soothing To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip
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, but 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 with 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.

Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam / Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are never made like me (Alt: Sunbeams are laughing at me) Don't expect me to cry, For all the reasons you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are never made like me (Alt: Sunbeams are laughing at me) Don't expect me to cry, For all the reasons you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me (x2) Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are never made like me (Alt: Sunbeams are laughing at me) Don't expect me to cry, For all the reasons you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me Originally by The Vaselines. Correct title should be "Jesus Don't Want Me For a Sunbeam". An incorrect title, using "Doesn't", is printed on the MTV Unplugged CD and covers. Though, I think the Vaselines used the title "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" ... hmm.
The Man Who Sold The World
We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as a surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone A long long time ago Oh no, not me We never lost control You're face to face With The Man Who Sold The World I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land (Alt: I searched for foreign land) For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazeless stare At all the millions here (Alt 1: We walked a million years) (Alt 2: With multimillionaires) (Alt 3: We walked a million hills) I must have died alone (Alt: I must have died along) A long, long time ago (x2) Who knows?

On A Plain
I'll start this off without any words I got so high that I scratched 'till I bled I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The finest day that I ever had Was when I learned to cry on command I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain My brother died every night It's safe to say, don't quote me on that I 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 I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain 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 trying to say? It is now time to make it unclear To write off lines that don't make sense I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? And one more special message to go And then I'm done, then I can go home I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? (x3) I'm on a plain I can't complain

Plateau
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words When you've finished with the mop then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen And the work it was fun There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could Originally by the Meat Puppets
Oh, Me
If I had to lose a mile If I had to touch feelings I would lose my soul The way I do I don't have to think I only have to do it The results are always perfect And that's old news Would you like to hear my voice Sprinkled with emotion Invented at your birth? I can't see the end of me My whole expanse I cannot see I formulate infinity Stored deep inside me If I had to lose a mile If I had to touch feelings I would lose my soul The way I do I don't have to think I only have to do it The results are always perfect And that's old news Would you like to hear my voice Sprinkled with emotion Invented at your birth?

Lake Of Fire
Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly They go 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 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 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 try to make them their own 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 Originally by the Meat Puppets

Scentless Apprentice
Like most babies smell like butter His smell smelled like no other He was born scentless and senseless He was born a scentless apprentice Go away - get away, get a-way Every wet nurse refused to feed him Electrolytes smell like semen I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets There are countless formulas for pressing flowers Go away - get away, get a-way I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume You can't fire me because I quit! Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way
