Blew:

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
here's another reason, for your stain
could you believe you when you discuss his stain?
here's another word that rhymes with shame
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
here's another reason, for your stain
could you believe you when you discuss his stain?
here's another word that rhymes with shame…aaaaaaa!
here's another reason for your stain
could you believe you when you discuss his stain?
here's another word that rhymes with shame… yowwwwww!
you could do anything, you could do anything, you could do anything, you could do anything 
you could do anything, you could do anything, you could do anything, you could do anything 

Floyd the Barber:

hello cobain, come on in
floyd observes my hairy chin
sit down 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 shamed, i was shaved, i was shaved
uh, uh
i sense others in the room
opie, aunt bea, i presume
they take turns and cut me up
i die smothered in andy's clutch
i was shaved, i was shaved, i was shamed

About a Girl:

i need an easy friend
i do...with an ear to lend
i do...think you'll 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 do…i'm standing in your light
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
for free
i do…i need an easy friend
i do...with an ear to lend
i do...think you'll 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
for free
i do, i do, i do, i do

School:

won't you believe it it's just my luck , won't you believe it it's just my luck, won't you believe it it's just my luck, won't you believe it it's just my luck
no recess, no recess, no recess…
won't you believe it it's just my luck, won't you believe it it's just my luck, won't you believe it it's just my luck, won't you believe it it's just my luck
no recess, no recess, no recess…

no recess, no recess, no recess, no recess, no recess, no recess, no recess…

Love 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? can you feel my love buzz? can you feel my love buzz? can you feel my love 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? can you feel my love buzz? can you feel my love buzz? can you feel my love buzz?

Paper Cuts

when i feel tired
she pushed food through the door
i crawl toward the crest of light
sometimes i can't my way
newspapers spread all around
soaking all they can
a cleaning is due again
a good hosing down
the lady who i fell maternal love for
cannot look me in the eyes
but i see hers and they are blue
and they cock and twist and masturbate
ahh! i said so, i said so, i said so…
nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana…
black windows of paint
i scratch 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 in a flash of light
and take my family away
and lately 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
today
me! 
you're right!
nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana…

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
the kinds with seashells, driftwood, and burlap
they make a deal when they come to town
the sunday swap meet is a battleground
she loves him more than he would ever know
he loves her more than he would ever show
keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
keeps the photographs close to her heart
keeps the bitterness close to the heart
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 kinds with seashells, driftwood, and burlap
they make a deal when they come to town
the sunday swap meet is a battleground
she loves him more than he would ever know
he loves her more than he would ever show
keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
keeps the photographs close to his heart
keeps the bitterness close to the heart
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 kinds with seashells, driftwood, and burlap
they make a deal when they come to town
the sunday swap meet is a battleground
she loves him more than he would ever know
he loves her more than he would ever show
keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
keeps the photographs close to her heart
keep their bitterness close to the heart

Mr. 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 temptation
take my hand and give it cleaning
yes i eat cow,  i am not proud
is he in his easychair?
poop as hard as rock
i don't like you anywhere
save it in a box
all new…damn you
fill me in on your new vision

is he in his easychair?
poop as hard as rock
i don't like you anywhere

Sifting

afraid to grade
wouldn't it be fun?
cross says frost
wouldn't it be fun?
wet your bed
wouldn't it be fun?
some fear none

your eyes teachers said, your eyes teachers said, your eyes teachers said
preachers said…don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you
spill 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 coals 
wouldn't it be fun?
your eyes teacher said, your eyes teacher said
your eyes preacher said
preacher said…don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you, don't have nothin' for you…

Downer

portray sincerity
act out of loyalty
defend your true country
wish away pain
hand out lobotomies
to save little families
surrealistic fantasies
metaphoric rain!
hold me down in restitution
living out your date with fusion
is the whole thing, jolly bastard
don't forget to master writing
somebody said that they're not much like i am…i know i can
make enough of the world, you go along…i'll sing a song
slippery pessimist pessimist master
conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
thank you dear god for putting me on this earth
i feel very privileged in debt for my thirst!
hold me down in restitution
living out your date with fusion
is the whole thing, jolly bastard
don't forget to master writing
somebody said that they're not much like i am… i know i can
make enough of the world, you go along…i’ll sing a song
