Complete Nirvana - 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 THEN SHE IS NOT
A WITCH LIKE WE HAD THOUGHT
A DOWN PAYMENT ON ANOTHER
ONE AT SALEM'S LOT

SERVE THE SERVANTS - OH NO
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
THER IS NOTHING I COULD SAY
THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT BEFORE

SERVE THE SERVANTS - OH NO
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 AWAY, GET AWAY

EVRY 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

I LIE IN THE SOIL 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

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

MAN EATING ORCHIDS FORGIVE NO ONE JUST YET
CUT MYSELF ON ANGELS HAIR AND BABIES BREATH
BROKEN HYMEN OF YOUR HIGHNESS I'M LEFT BLACK
THROW DOWN YOUR UMBILLICAL NOOSE SO I CAN CLIMB RIGHT BACK

RAPE ME

RAPE ME, MY FRIEND
RAPE ME AGAIN

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE

HATE ME
DO AND DO IT AGAIN

WASTE ME
TASTE ME, MY FRIEND

MY FAVOURITE INSIDE SOURCE
I'LL KISS YOUR OPEN SORES
APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN
YOU'LL ALWAYS STINK AND BURN

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

IN HER FALSE WITNESS, WE HOPE YOU'RE STILL WITH US TO SEE IF THEY FLOAT OR DROWN,
OUR FAVOURITE 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.

DUMB

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 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

VERY APE

I AM BURIED UP TO MY NECK IN
CONTRADICTIONARY FLIES
I TAKE PRIDE AS THE KING OF ILLITERATURE
I'M VERY APE AND VERY NICE

IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING PLEASE DON'T HESITATE
TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE FIRST
I'M TOO BUSY ACTING LIKE I'M NOT NAIVE
I'VE SEEN IT ALL I WAS HERE FIRST

OUT OF THE GROUND
INTO THE SKY
OUT OF THE SKY
INTO THE DIRT

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

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
ORBITUARY BIRTHDAY
YOUR SCENT IS STILL HERE IN MY PLACE OF RECOVERY

PENNYROYAL TEA

I'M ON MY TIME WITH EVRYONE
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 A LIAR AND A THIEF

SIT AND DRINK PENNYROYAL TEA
I'M ANEMIC ROYALTY
I'M ON WARM MILK AND LAXATIVES
CHERRY-FLAVOURED ANTACIDS

RADIO FRIENDLY UNIT SHIFTER

USE JUST ONCE AND DESTRO
INVASION OF OUR PIRACY
AFTERBIRTH OF A NATION
STARVE WITHOUT YOUR SKELETON KEY

I LOVE YOU FOR WHAT I AM NOT
I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVE GOT
A BLANKET ACNE'D WITH CIGARETTE BURNS
SPEAK AT ONCE WHILE TAKING TURNS
SECOND-RATE THIRD DEGREE BURNS

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
WHAT IS WHAT I NEED
WHAT DO I THINK I THINK

THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU THINK
IF YOU EVR THINK AT ALL
BI-POLAR OPPOSITES ATTRACT
ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WATER BROKE

HATE, HATE YOUR ENEMIES
SAVE, SAVE YOUR FRIENDS
FIND, FIND YOUR PLACE
SPEAK, SPEAK THE TRUTH

TOURETTES

Moderate Rock Mayday every day in my heart. Could of had a heart attack in my heart. When don't know anything, in my heart. We all want something fair, in my heart. Hey! Hey! Heyyyy! (x3) Out of town, out of sight, is my heart. Queen of lies, everyday, in my heart. One more at the phone, at my heart. One more at the door, at my heart. Hey! Hey! Heyyyy! (x3) Mean heart. Cold heart. (x7)

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 WSH 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 FREZERBURN
CHOKING ON THE ASHES OF HER ENEMY
ALL IN ALL IS ALL WE ARE

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,
and 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 In 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.
