DISC 1:
Smells Like Teen Spirit (edit)
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
And, oh, no, a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello-
With the lights out, its 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-Hey-Yea
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little tribe has always been
And always will until the end
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
A denial...a denial...a denial...
Even In His Youth
Even in his youth, he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was something
Disgrace the family name he was something
Leave this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave
Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was nothing
Disgrace to family name, going nowhere
Leave this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave
Leave this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back again...
I'm dying!
Even his his youth (yeah yeah)
Aneurysm
Come on over and do the twist (uh huh)
Overdo it and have a fit (uh huh)
Love you so much it makes me sick (uh huh)
Come on over and do the twist (uh huh)
Beat me outta me (beat it, beat it)
(8x with slight variations)
Come on over and do the twist (uh huh)
Overdo it and have a fit (uh huh)
Love you so much it makes me sick (uh huh)
Come on over, and shoot the shit (uh huh)
(chorus)
She keeps it pumpin’ straight to my heart (8x)
DISC TWO:
Come As You Are
Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a threat, 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 (4x)
Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria (4x)

I am, death
School
[live at Paramount Theater, Seattle WA, 10/31/91]

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
You're in high school again (12x)
Drain You
[live at Paramount Theater, Seattle WA, 10/31/91]
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 become 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 the fluids
(chorus)
(verse 1)
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
Sloppy lips to lips
Your my vitamins
Because I'm like you
DISC THREE:
In Bloom
Sell the kid for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands
He's the one who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
He knows not what it means
And I say aaah
We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom
(chorus)
Sliver
[live at O'Brian Pavillian, Del Maur CA, 12/28/91]
Mom and dad went to a show
Dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go
Grandma take me home (8x)
I had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good
Grandma take me home (8x)
She said, "now don't you start your crying
Go outside and ride your bike"
That's what I did, I (?)
Grandma take me home (8x)
After dinner I had icecream
Fell asleep, and watched TV
I woke up in my mothers arms
Grandma take me home (19x)
I want to be alone
Polly
[live at O'Brian Pavillian, Del Maur CA, 12/28/91]
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water
And do put out the blow torch
Is it me, haven't seen
Let me clip, your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
Want some help, to please myself
Got some rope, you have been told
I promise you, heaven true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help, to please 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
(chorus)
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
(chorus)
DISC FOUR:
Lithium
I'm so happy because today
I found my friends, they're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay,
'cuz so are you, we broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day, for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze, 'cuz I've found God
yea-yeah...yeaaaah-yeah (etc....)
I'm so lonely but that's OK, I shake my head
No 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,
and I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's OK, my will is good
(chorus)
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 killed you, I'm not gonna crack (2x)
(repeat)
Been A Son
[live at Paramount Theater, Seattle WA, 10/31/91]
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 (4x)
She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance
She should have been a son (4x)
(chorus, verse 1, chorus)
Curmudgeon
I can't hide, no
I'm the mentor
I'm not sad
Till I'm home
It's the season
Rhyme or reason
I have seed
I have grown
She's at the seams
She don't need (4x)
At the seams
She don't need
At the seams
I'm a letcher
I'm a planter
I sense something
In the gard
In the handle
On the mantle
I'm not Santa
I'm not God
(chourus, slight variations)
I'm a lady
Can you save me?
It's the sulfur
I have drunk
Tis the season
Rhyme or reason
I have fleas
Run on home
(chourus, slight variations)
DISC FIVE:
Heart-Shaped Box
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am 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 could 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
Hey, Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and babies breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
(chorus)
Milk It
I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins
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
I own 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
Marigold (lead vocals: Dave Grohl)
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I want
He's scared in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's there 'cause I want
(chourus, verse 2, chourus)
DISC SIX:
All Apologies
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could 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
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
(chorus)
All in all is all we are
Rape Me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me, again
I'm not the only one
Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend
My favorite inside source
I kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn
Moist Vagina
She has a moist vagina
I particularly enjoy the circumference
I'll be sucking the walls of her anus
I prefer her to any other
Marijuana
