About A Girl
Nirvana

I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I don't 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
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night free
I need an easy friend
I do whip her in to land
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
No I can't see you every night free
I do (x4)

Come As You Are
Nirvana

Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria (x3)

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria (x3)

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun (x2)

Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam
Nirvana

Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like 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 thee
Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like 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 thee

The man who sold the world
Nirvana

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Altough I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I 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, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Pennyroyal Tea
Nirvana

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the lIfe that's inside of me....

Dumb
Nirvana

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 I 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

Polly
Nirvana

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off of 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 promise you it 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
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

On a plain
NIrvana

I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled

I love myself better than you
[ Album: MTV Unplugged In New York lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
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'm on a plain
I can't complain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code

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

One more special message to go
An then I'm done then I can go home

Something in the way
Nirvana

Underneath the bridge
The tarp 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 the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Somthing in the way - there
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Something in the way
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Something in the way – there

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals Iīve trapped
Have all become my pets
And Iīm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But itīs ok to eat fish
‘Cause they donīt have any feelings

Plateau
Nirvana

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

Refr.:
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 took was fun

Refr.

Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some say in Mexico
Others decided that it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Oh me
Nirvana

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul the way I do
I donīt have to think
We only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And thatīs old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sweetende with emotions
Indebted at your birth

I canīt see
The end of me
My whole expains
I cannot see
Formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me

Lake Of Fire
Nirvana

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

All Apologies
Nirvana

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else should I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun In the sun I feel as one
In the sun In the sun
I'm married buried buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua sea-foam shame
Sunburn with freezer-burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
In the sun In the sun I feel as one
In the sun In the sun
I'm married buried buried
All in all is all we are all

Where did you sleep last night
Nirvana

My girl, my girl,
Don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun don't ever shine,
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl,
Where will you go,
I'm going, where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun don't ever shine,
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here.
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl
Where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
