NIRVANA - Wishkah

From The Muddy Banks of The Wishkah


School - Paradise, Amsterdam. November, l991

Won't you believe it

It's just my luck

No recess

You're in high school again.


Drain You - Del Mar Fairgrounds, CA. December, 1991

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 fluids

Sloopy lips to lip

You're my vitamins because I like you.


Aneurysm - Del Mar Fairgrounds, CA. December, 1991

Come on over

Do the twist (aha)

Overdo it

Have a fit (aha)

Come on over

Shoot the shit (aha)

Love you so much

Makes me sick (aha)

Beat me out of me (beat up beat up)

She gave the perfect strain to my heart.


Smells Like Teen Spirit - Del Mar Fairgrounds, CA. December, 1991

Load up on guns and

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

Hello, how low?

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

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, how low?

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

And I forget

Just why I taste

Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile

I found it hard

It was hard to find

Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, how low?

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, a denial

A denial

A denial.


Been A Son - Paradise, Amsterdam. November, 1991

She should have stayed away from friends

She should have had more time to spend

She should have died when she was born

She should have worn the crown of thorns

She should have been a son

She should have stood out in the crowd

She should have made her mother proud

She should have fallen on the stance

She should have had another chance.


Lithium - Paradise, Amsterdam. November, 1991

I'm so happy, 'cause today

I've found my friends...

They're in my head

I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so
are you...

We've broken our mirrors

Sunday morning is everyday for all I care...

And I'm not scared

Light my candles in a daze...

'Cause I found God - hey, hey, hey

I'm so lonely, but 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...

But I don't care

I'm so horny but that's okay...

My will is good - hey, hey, hey

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 kill you - I'm not gonna crack.


Sliver - Civic Center, Springfield, MA. November, 1993

Mom and dad went to a show

They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's

I kicked and screamed, said please, don't
go

Grandma take me home

Had to eat my dinner there

Mashed potatos and stop with that

I couldn't chew my meat's too good

She said, well, don't you start your crying

Go outside and ride your bike

That's what I did, I killed my toe

After dinner, I had ice cream

I fell asleep and watched TV

I woke up in my mother's arms

Grandma take me home

I wanna be alone.


Spank Thru - II Castello Vi De Porta, Rome. November, 1991

This song is for lovers out there

(This song I once felt)

And the little light in the trees

And the flowers sing among me

(And the flowers are drooping at us)

(And the flowers soon remind me)

And the birds fly happily

(fly at me)

We're together once again my love

I hit your back, oh baby baby

(I'll get ya back, oh baby baby)

I can't explain just why

We lost it from the start

Cause living without you girl

You'll only break my heart

I can feel it

I can hold it

I can mend it

I can shape it

I can mold it

I can cut it

I can taste it

I can spank it

Smack it, beat it, masturbate it

I've been looking for days now

(day-glow?)

Always hearing the same old

City boy won't you spank thru?

I can make you tell things you won't think
you ever could.


Scentless Apprentice - MTV Live And Loud. December, 1993

Like most babies smell like butter

His smell smelled like no other

He was born scentless and senceless

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 pressings
flowers

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.


Heart-Shaped Box - Great Western Forum, Los Angeles, CA. December, 1993

She eyes me like a pisces when I'm weak

I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped
box for a week

I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I wish I coul eat your cancer when you turn
black

Hey

Wait

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hate

Haight

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchides forgive no one just
yet

Cut myself algel'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.


Milk It - Seattle Center Arena. January, 1994

I am my own parasite

I don't need a host to live

We feed off of each other

We can share our endorphns

Doll steak, test meat

I won my own pet virus

I get to pet and name her

Her milk is my shit

My shit is her milk

Doll steak, test meat

Look on the bright side is suicide

Lost eyesight I'm on your side

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing

Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Protector of the kennel

Ecto-plasma

Ecto-Skeletal

Obituary birthday

Your scent is still here in my place of recovery.


Negative Creep - Paramount Theatre, Seattle, WA. Octuber, 1991

This is out of our range and oh

This is getting to be a drone

I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned

I'm a negative creep and moan

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more


Polly - Astoria Theatre, London. December, 1989

Polly wants a cracker

Think I should get off her first

I think she wants some water

To put out the blow torch

It isn't me

We have some seed

Let me clip

Your dirty wings

Let me take a ride

Don't hurt yourself

I want some help

To help myself

I've got some rope

You have been told

I promisse you

I have been true

Let me take a ride

Don't hurt yourself

I want some help

To help myself

Polly wants a cracker

Maybe she would like more food

She asks me to untie her

A chase would be nice for a few

Polly says her back hurts

And she's just as bored as me

She caught me off my guard

It amazes me, the will of instinct.


Breed - Astoria Theatre, London. December, 1989

I don't care if I'm old

I don't mind if I don't have a mind

Get away, get away from your home

I'm afraid, I'm afraid of a ghost

Even if you have

Even if you need

I don't mean to stare

We don't have to breed

We can plant a house

We can build a tree

I don't even care

We could have all three

She said.


Tourette's - The Reading Festival. August, 1993

May day,

Every day, My day

Could've had a heart attack, my heart

We don't know anything, my heart

We all want something fair, my heart

Hey!

Hey!

Heyyyyyyy!

Heyyyyyyy!

Heyyyyyyy!

Out of town, out of fire, is my heart

Queen of lies, today, my heart

One more on the phone, my heart

One more at the door of my heart

Hey!

Hey!

Heyyyyyyy!

Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart

Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart

Uhhhhhhhh!


Blew - Paradise, Amsterdam. November, 1991

If you would't mind I would like it blew

If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose

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 who we knew stress or
strain?

Here is another word that rhymes with shame

You could do anything.
