1. 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 to
I do...Keep a date with you
And take advantage while
You hang me out to try
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?
And take advantage while
You hang me out to try
But I can't see you every night
For free
I do...(x4)

2. Come As You
Are |
Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to 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 (x4)
Come, doused in mud
Soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As an old
Memoria (x4)
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun (x2)
(Guitar solo)
Memoria (x4)
No I don't have a gun
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun (x4)
Memoria (x2)

3. Jesus Doesn't
Want Me For A
Sunbeam |
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me.
Don't expect me to cry
For other reasons I have 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 me
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For other reasons
For other reasons I have 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 me
(Guitar solo)
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For other reasons
For other reasons I have 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
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect to die for me
[Applause]
[Kurt:]"I guarantee you I will screw this song up, so-"
[Dave?:] " What song is it? What?"
[Kurt:] "Well I at least know which part I'll screw up."
[Dave?:] "Oh. Yeah, like he only screws one up."
[Kurt:] "Aheeeeem."

4. The Man Who
Sold The World |
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eye
I though 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
(Guitar solo)
I laughed and shook his hand, 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
Who knows, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
[Applause]
[Kurt:] "That was a David Bowie song."
[Kurt:] "I didn't screw it up, did I?"
[Dave?:] "No."
[Kurt:] "Okay, but here's another one I'm gonna screw up."
[Dave:?] "What is it?"
[Kurt:] "Am I gonna do this by myself?"
[Dave?:] "Yeah, why don't you do it by yourself? Do it by yourself!"
[Kurt:] "Okay, well. I think I'll try it in a different key. I'll try it in a normal key. Yeah. If it sounds bad, these people are just gonna have to wait."
[Laughter]

5. Pennyroyal Tea |
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 a liar and a thief
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
(Guitar solo)
I'm on warm milk and laxative
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

6. Dumb |
I'm not like them But I can pretend
The sun is gone But I have a light
The day is done And I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Let 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 (x4)
Skin the sun, fall asleep
Wish away, 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 And I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
I think I'm dumb (x12)

7. Polly |
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she want some water
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been 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 some food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
It isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly said
Polly said her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me the will of instinct
It isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself

8. On A Plain |
I'll start this off, without any words
I got so high, I scratched until I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day, that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I doooooooooooo
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say "don't quote me on that"
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I doooooooooooo
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As 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
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
And one more special message to go
Then I'm done, and I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I doooooooooooo
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain

9. Something
In The Way |
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
It's OK to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
mmmm-mmmm
Something in the way, yeah
mmmm-mmmm
Something in the way

10. Plateau |
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
The 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
The 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
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
[Applause]
[Unknown voice (Is it Krist?):] "That's Curt, that's Cris."
[Kurt:] "No, no! I'm Kurt!"
[Curt:] "No, no. I'm thing one... that's think two."
[Kurt:] "Cover your hair and your eyes then. Okay, this is called Oh, Me."

11. Oh Me |
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me
infinity inside me
[Applause]
[Kurt:] "Another one. This is called Lake of Fire. All of these songs are off their second record."

12. Lake Of Fire |
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to a lake of fire and fry
See 'em again 'till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And flew away howlin' on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to a lake of fire and fry
See 'em again 'till the fourth of July
People cry and people moan
They look for a dry place to call their home
They try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to a lake of fire and fry
See 'em again 'till the fourth of July
[Applause]
[??:] "Thank you. Thanks for your time. Thank you."
[?:] "Thank you Nirvana!"
[Kurt:] "That was the Meat Puppets."

13. All Apologies |
What else should I be?
All apologies
What else could 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
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafome 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
Married
Buried
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All in all is all we are (x22)

14. Where Did You
Sleep Last Night? |
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
Shiver to me -- Kirk
(Guitar solo)
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
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! Pines!
Sun! Shines!
I'd shiver whole night through.
