ZzubEvol's Nirvana Encyclopedia - The SongsZzubEvol's Nirvana Encyclopedia - The Songs Corrections, comments, etc - please let me know: zzubevol@hotmail.com ------ Last update: February 15, 2002 ------ Not updated anymore! The Song Section of the ZzubEvol's Nirvana encyclopedia is officially dead. But fear not, I'll keep it up here so you'll always be able to use the basic information about the songs. However, it won't be updated anymore. It's especially the performance dates that'll suffer from this, but hopefully you'll soon be able to find those in updated form in the Digital Nirvana Song Guide (which is partly based on this encyclopedia and therefore basically contains the same information, and which I consider the replacement for this part of the encyclopedia). All corrections sent to me will therefore also be used in the DN Song Guide instead of in this guide. I urge you to check out the DN Song Guide before sending corrections to me so that you won't send something that's already up-to-date. Thanx to all who have contributed - hopefully we can make the Digital Nirvana Song Guide even better than the encyclopedia. ------ Total of 366 unique titles ------ 302 is confirmed fully surfaced 56 is unsurfaced 3 is either unsurfaced, fakes or very rare 2 is partially surfaced 109 have no or no known title 84 have been officially released 224 are categorized as Rare 188 are categorized as Jams 129 (+13?) are catagorized as Covers 43 are catagorized as Side projects Besides the 366 titles there is 41 titles that could not be placed. These are probably alieas or fakes. You'll find a list of these at the very end of this document. Information about this part of the encyclopedia, and guidelines on how to read it can be found here. Many titles for different songs have been mixed up, and a lot of fake titles have been floating around. For at list of most of thoose go here.

Queer! Interpretation This song is believed to be addressed to Tracy Marander (one of Kurt's first girlfriends), whom threatened to kick him out if he didn't get a job. Comment According to Jon Auer from The Posies, this atypically "Bleach" track, sound very much like Blood and Roses by The Smithereens. Well, there is a small similarity in the guitar riff - only it's a bit slower on Blood and Roses.

Zero Zeppelin, Aeroslepperin (this was the spelling on the set list used at their first session at Reciprocal Studios in '88) Interpretation The title concists of two of Nirvana's influences: Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. However, Kurt writes on an early lyric sheet that "This song is not about Aerosmith or Led Zeppelin. It's about: The Cult, Faster Pussy Cat, Kingdom Come, Guns-n-Roses, Whitesnake, and Nirvana".

What's the reason you're around if a crime means anything? What's the meaning in a crime? It's a crime if anything What's the meaning of love? It's grand, it's grand How a culture comes again, it's a crime of yesterday And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway There's no need to talk to friends, nothin' new is everyday You could shit upon the stairs, You'll be friends (x4) All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly Should the siren irritate, keep it movin' equally Not to know is just the fact, we're a problem nowadays An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally Not to know is just the facts, we're worse nowadays An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway Hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? Ain't it a shame (to go fishing on a Sunday) (U, C - Leadbelly, S - Kurt with Mark Lanegan, ?) Comment When Kurt and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) recorded Where Did You Sleep Last Night, they also did this Ledbelly cover. The two songs was going to be released on a single, but for some reason the project got ditched. Ain't it a shame has been referred to as Kurt's greatest vocal performance ever. Some say that it was just vocals, with no instruments at all, but according to Endino it has Kurt on lead vocals.

All Apologies (O) A.k.a.

Back in black (U, S - Kurt the kid (solo), C - AC/DC) Comment The "Come as you are"-book mentions that this was one of the first songs Kurt learned to play - he was around 14 years at the time.

Bambi Kill, Bambie Kill Comment A song from Kurt's Fecal Matter demo. For many years it was thought that an acoustic 4-track recording by Kurt found on many bootlegs, e.g. "Outcesticide 4" and "Dressed for Success" was the same song as Bambi Slaughter from the "Fecal Matter"-Demo. Apparently it's completely different, and the name of the song is unknown. More info on that song can be found here.

Beans & Wine Interpretation A Vaseline-influenced song based on the book "The Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac. Comment A 'weird quirky song' done on acoustic guitar that Sub Pop thought was retarded. Recorded on a 4-track recorder. Apprently Kurt used a pitch shifter to achieve the effects. Many claim that circulating versions are fake, but apparently Dale Crover have confirmed it to be real. Claimed to be recorded with Montage of heck by some. Also some claim that this one appears on the "Fecal Matter"-demo tape, but this is probably not true. Supposedly it was recorded in late '88 with Bambi Slaughter and Clean up before she comes. Studio (1) ??/??/88 - (+/- a few years) - ??? Live (0) No live recordings.

Blind, Can we show our faces? Interpretation Possibly about being naive and confused. Comment Some believe this one was recorded during the Ted Ed Fred Demo (01/23/88), but in an interview from late '92 Krist said that "Incesticide" would feature a "Bleach" outtake. This can only be Big long now, so therefore it must have been recorded during the Bleach Sessions.

Color blind Speak a phrase Instantly grow I am blind Why am I shown? Bikini Twilight (O, S - Kurt on guitar for Go Team) Comment Sometime in spring '89 Kurt joined the band Go Team (Tobi Vail and Calvin Johnson) in the studio to appear on guitar on this song. It can be found together with the song Scratch It Out on the Go Team single "Scratch It Out / Bikini Twilight". Studio (1) ??/??/89 - Go Team Session - K Records - Olympia, WA - "Scratch It Out / Bikini Twilight"-single (by Go Team). Live (0) Probably performed live by the Go Team, but without Kurt. Black & white blues (R, C? - Leadbelly) A.k.a. Black, white and the blues, Black and white blues, mistakenly called Token Middle Eastern Song on the "Dressed for succes"-bootleg, also the title Vendettagainst has been misused. Comment This one was once thought to be fake, but it's not. The real name of this song is not known, but probably it's either a cover of a Leadbelly song or an original in homage to Leadbelly. Probably recorded on a 4-track at the same time Beans was recorded. Studio (1) ??/??/88 - (+/- a few years) - ??? - Available on bootlegs such as "Outcesticide IV", "Dressed for success" and "The Elements" where it's claimed to be recorded in Seattle, WA '89 Live (1) 02/14/90 - (30 sec, just the bass line, after Love buzz) - Kennel Club - San Francisco, CA Lyrics Instrumental. Blandest (R) A.k.a. Saviour, Situation Change Comment Recorded at the Love Buzz Single Session in '88. After the recording the band asked Endino to erase the song because they didn't like it.

Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew and then disappeared The curtains flew and then he appeared...saying don't be afraid Come on baby...and she had no fear And she ran to him...then they started to fly They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are She had taken his hand...she had become like they are Come on baby...don't fear the reaper Donuts (R) A.k.a.

The past is gone, It went by like dusk to dawn. Isn't that the way? Everybody's got their dues in life to pay. I know nobody knows, Where it comes and where it goes.

Sing with me, sing for the years, Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears. Sing with me, if it's just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away. Sing with me, sing for my year, Sing for my laughter and sing for my tear. Sing with me, if it's just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.

The killer woke up in Belgium And he poured a lot of syrup on his waffles And then he walked on down the hall And he said all I want is to have some hash browns and some grits And then he walked on down the hall And then he said listen I've got a quarter in my pocket And I see that waffle house jukebox And I'm gonna walk up to the coin slot And there's a direct line between my pupil and that coin slot And I lift that quarter out of my pocket And I said I wanna hear the waffle house theme So I walked up to the jukebox and I said Come on you (come on in?) I believe I will (I believe I will) Walk to the waffle house I've got a six pack and nothin' to do 08/23/91 - Reading, UK This is the end My only friend, the end This is the end My only friend, the end The original as it was performed by The Doors This is the end, beautiful friend. This is the end, my only friend. The end of our elaborate plans. The end of everything that stands, the end. No safety or surprise, the end. I'll never look into your eyes again. Can you picture what will be so limitless and free. Desperately in need of some stranger's hand in a desperate land. Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain, and all the children are insane; all the children are insane waiting for the summer rain. There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Wierd scenes inside the goldmine; Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake. Ride the snake, to the lake, The ancient lake, baby The snake he's long, seven miles Ride the snake He's old And his skin is cold The west is the best. The west is the best. Get here and we'll do the rest The blue bus is calling us The blue bus is calling us Driver, where you takin' us? The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He took a face from the ancient gallery and he Walked on down the hall. He went into the room where his sister lived. And then he. Paid a visit to his brother. And then he, he Walked on down the hall. And he came to a door. And he looked inside. "Father." "Yes son." "I want to kill you." "Mother, I want to..." Come on baby, take a chance with us, Come on baby, take a chance with us, Come on baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus... This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end It hurts to set you free, but you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end.

Interpretation An experimental song created when they fucked up one of the takes on Lithium (Territorial pissings according to Guitar World). Comment This is the secret track found at the very end of Nevermind - after 10 minutes of silence after Something in the way. The song was often used as a destruction jam to close concerts. It was played quite often during '91, but towards the end of '93 they just played an improvised version of it. Due to a technical error the initial pressing of "Nevermind" didn't contain the song. According to some sources, the song is no longer being put on the end of recently produced "Nevermind" CDs.

Montage of heck - part 2, Noise Bleed, Nosebleed, What's the meaning, The Landlord part 2. Mistakenly called Buzz Cut. Comment The real title of this one is unknown, but most people refer to it as Montage of heck - part 2 or Escalator To Hell (it is NOT a cover of the Subhuman song with the same name). The title Montage of heck - part 2 is also a bit misleading, cause it has nothing to do with Montage of heck. The 'song' was recorded on a 4-track at about the same time as Montage of heck. It features Kurt saying something like 'She's She's an escalator from hell' - apprently he said something else and then recorded it backwards so it sounds like that escalator from hell thing. After that there's some guitar noise. There's 2 versions of this song avalible: a long version (about 2 min) and a shorter version (about 20 sec). The long version can be found on "Outcesticide IV" while the short version appears on "Into The Black". Studio (1) ??/??/88 Live (0) No live recordings.

Studio (0) No known recordings. Live (1) 02/01/92 - The Palace - Melbourne, Australia Floyd the barber (O) A.k.a. Freud the barber, Shy Interpretation This one is build over a TV show from the sixties called The Andy Griffith Show. Floyd, Barney, Opie and Aunt Bea are all characters in the show, that portraits an ever-happy idyllic small town in USA. In Kurt's version he goes to the barber to get a shave, only to end up tied to the chair, and sliced to death by the usually very nice townspeople. The Andy Griffith Show was broadcasted on the station which Kurt's TV was turned on to when his body was found, so ironically this could be one of the last thing Kurt saw in this life. Comment On the 07/18/89 performance of this song a drunk guy run up on stage and yells 'fucking shit' into the microphone. He was later beaten up by Jason Everman.

Time's caught up with you Now you wait your turn, you know there's no return Take your written rules, you join the other fools Turn to something new, now it's killing you First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm Disillusioning, you push the needle in From life you escape, reality's that way Colours in your mind satisfy your time Oh you, you know you must be blind To do something like this To take the sleep that you don't know You're giving Death a kiss, Oh, little fool now Your mind is full of pleasure Your body's looking ill To you it's shallow leisure So drop the acid pill, don't stop to think now You're having a good time baby But that won't last Your mind's all full of things You're living too fast go out enjoy yourself Don't bottle it in You need someone to help you To stick the needle in, yeah Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning green Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality Push the needle in, face death's sickly grin Holes are in your skin, caused by deadly pin Head starts spinning 'round, you fall down to the ground Feel your body heave, Death's hands starts to weave It's too late to turn, you don't want to learn Price of life you cry, now you're gonna die! Heartbreaker (R, C - Led Zeppelin) Comment Played in it's entirety on the '87 Party show, and jammed on a few later shows. Some believe that the 'Zep Jam' from 11/27/93 (where Kurt does some guitar solo, and then Krist says 'Led Zeppelin 2') is also a cover of this song, but it certainly doesn't sound like it to me. Some claim that it is actually a cover of Ramble On (another Led Zeppelin song), but that doesn't sound like it either, so most likely it's just a made up jam. Studio (0) No known recordings.

You know that Annie's back in town. It won't take long just watch and see, How the fellas lay their money down. Her style is new but the face is the same, As it was so long ago. But from her eyes a different smile, Like that of one who knows. Well it's been ten years and maybe more, Since I first set eyes on you. The best years of my life gone by, Here I am alone and blue. Some people cry and some people die, By the wicked ways of love. But I'll just keep on rolling along With the grace of the lord above. People talking all around, About the way you left me flat. I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at. One thing I do have on my mind, If you can clarify please do, It's the way you call me by another guy's name, When I try to make love to you. Work so hard I couldn't unwind, Get some money saved. Abuse my love a thousand times, However hard I tried. Heartbreaker your time has come, Can't take your evil way. Go away heartbreaker. Heart-shaped box (O) A.k.a. Wait, Heart shaped coffin, Haight Interpretation The lyrics manage to convey complex themes of love and entrapment. It deals with aspects of Kurt's relationship with Courtney and his addiction to her and heroin. According to Kurt's uncle by marriage (Larry Smith) the line: 'Forever in debt to your priceless advice' was used by Kurt, when he was arguing with Larry's sister, which really pissed her of.

Also, the yet unsurfaced encore from 11/25/90 was once thought to contain a version of this song, but this is most likely an early version of Radio friendly unit shifter.

The hammer of the gods, Will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde singing and crying: 'Valhalla I am coming!' On we sweep, With thrashing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, Can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war, We are your overlords. On we sweep, With thrashing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day despite all your losing.

Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall? Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head? We'll just pass him there why should we even care? He was turned to steel in the great magnetic field Where he traveled time for the future of mankind Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfold Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge Heavy boots of lead fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again!

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 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 Try to claim them for their own Where do bad folks go when they die?

Montage of heck - part 1, Buzz Cut, What's the meaning, The Landlord part 1. Mistakenly called Escalator To Hell, which is another song. Comment This is a cut-up collage that Kurt made with a 4-track recorder around 1988. Featured is sounds from television shows, radio commercials, children's songs and a lot more. There is a long version (43 minutes long) and a short version (about 8 min) of this collage. Some of the stuff on the short version isn't on the long version. For instance the clip of a Nirvana song refered to as The Landlord, where Krist sings that 'the Landlord is a piece of shit from hell!'. Kurt wanted to use this demo as an intro for the "Love Buzz"-single, so he edited the short version down. But this got ditched from the single because it was too long. Therefore he edited it further. This last edit is what made it onto the "Love Buzz"-single and is often refered to as Buzz cut. So to sum things up a bit there's 4 different versions of Montage of heck: Montage Of Heck (long version) Montage Of Heck (short version) - (mistakenly referred to as Montage of heck - part 2 by some) Intro for "Love Buzz"-single (long version (30 sec)) - a.k.a. Buzz Cut Intro for "Love Buzz"-single (short version (10 sec)) - a.k.a. Buzz Cut The following list some of the stuff fund in the long version (most info from Brian Johnson): The Men In My Little Girl's Life by Mike Douglas The Sounds of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! by the Beatles Eruption by Van Halen Hot Pants by James Brown Gypsies, Tramps, and Theives by Cher Go Away Little Girl by Donny Osmond Rocky Mountain High by John Denver Everybody Loves Somebody by Dean Martin The Candy Man by Sammy Davis, Jr. In A Gadda Da Vida by Iron Butterfly Wild Thing cover version by Senator Bobby (I think) Taxman by the Beatles I Think I Love You by the Partridge Family Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl? by the Barbarians Queen Of The Reich by Queensryche Last Caress/Green Hell by Metallica Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin ABC by the Jackson Five I Want Your Sex by George Michael The Introduction to Like A Rolling Stonefrom the Jimi Hendrix Monterey Pop Festival Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden Besides the above there's also some Butthole Surfers songs (probably Eye Of The Chicken, Dance of the Cobra and The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave) and a Velvet Underground track (probably Rock and Roll). The following clips can be found in the shorter version of the collage, but not in the long version (info by John Busher): The Landlord by Krist Love Buzz by Shocking Blue Semi Fraudulent / Direct From Hollywood Overture by Frank Zappa It Can't Happen Here by Frank Zappa Studio (1) Spring '88 Live (0) No live recordings. Lyrics hmmm 35 minutes of sound collage... anyone who feels like spending a couple of days transcribing the lyrics feel free to send them to me :) More than a feeling (R, J, C - Boston) Comment The guitar riff of Boston's '76 hit has an extraordinary similarity to Smells like teen spirit, which is easily heard on the '92 Reading Festival, as Nirvana plays it just before Smells like teen spirit. Two different recordings of the Reading version excists: one with 'clean' sound (I believe it's a soundboard recording), but Kurt's lyrics can't be heard on that one. The other recording have a more rough sound (probably analog audience), but this includes the vocals. The Seattle performance is all instrumental. Some think it's a Pixies song, but I'm pretty convinced that it is indeed More than a feeling. Studio (0) No known recordings.

Live (1) 08/06/93 - (supposedly) - Mia Zapata benefit show - King Theater - Seattle, WA Lyrics The original as it was performed by Led Zeppelin Close the door put out the light, You know they won't be home tonight. The snow falls hard and don't you know, The winds of Thor are blowing cold. They're wearing steel that's bright and true. They carry news that must get through. They choose the path where no one goes. They hold no quarter. They hold no quarter. Walking side by side with death, The devil mocks their every step. The snow drives back the foot that's slow, The dogs of doom are howling more. They carry news that must get through, To build a dream for me and you. They choose the path where no one goes. They hold no quarter. They ask no quarter Ode to Beau (U) Comment Mentioned in HTH (pg. 63). Sung in a country and western style, this song has Kurt mocking a fellow Aberdeen classmate (called Beau) who had committed suicide. Studio (0) No known recordings. Live (0) No known recordings.

Comment A small clip of this song surfaced around '97/'98. The clip came from the boombox recorded tape that Butch Vig received a week before the Nevermind sessions. Kurt gave the song to Courtney, and she later released it on Hole's "Beautiful Son"-EP in '93. Also Hole played the song during their unplugged session (02/14/95). There are fake instrumental versions of this song, made by a guy that wanted to prove how easy it was to fool people. Studio (2) 03/??/91 - Nevermind Boombox Demos, made for Butch Vig Between 05/??/91 and 06/??/91 - Nevermind sessions - Van Nuys, CA Live (0) No live recordings by Nirvana, but Hole performed it during their MTV Unplugged session. Lyrics Boombox recording (Interpretation 1) Some day I will blame my mother For the reason she became my mother Some day I will die over I'm no ?

Someday I wouldn't find a way to blow her I'm no breath couldn't be my sugar One more breath, could you be my plumber? Someday I wouldn't find a way to blow her Kill, kill, kill that In a low I'm gone Every way I am you, ever know Over you, over you From Hole's unplugged performance Rest in peace and me in pieces Rest in peace and me in pieces And I will await your highness I'm so high I cannot talk And I will awake You cripple You take away my time, my peace, my dignity No babies sleep when you're near me Your unborn love and fetal dress Hard bitter candy, fated caress What was she for Halloween? The ugliest girl you've ever seen Someday she will die alone Someday she won't have to fake it Living will itself seem sacred Someday he will die alone He seemed to me to know All that glitters is sour All that lies in his place Jesus saves Old age (x3) It's okay to kill your idols Just pretend you have no rivals They all think that she is friendless Spits at mirrors, it's not an issue Just remove the hateful tissue They all think that we were friendless He seemed to me to know All that glitters is sour All that lies in my place Jesus saves Old age (x3) Jesus saves And I begged him I said pretty please Just make me pure again Just make me clean What was she for Halloween? The ugliest girl you've ever seen Someday she will die alone What was she for Valentine's? And old forgotten rape of mine Someday she will die He seemed to me to know All that glitters is sour All that lies in his place Jesus saves Old age (x3) Jesus saves Rest in peace and me in pieces Rest in peace and me in pieces Peace in pieces (I'm sorry.. so sorry..

Ouranos is broken Studio (1) 10/??/89 - "Extra-Capsular Extraction" Single session (Earth) - Smegma Studios, Seattle, WA - "Extra-Capsular Extraction" (Earth) Live (0) No live recordings (at least not with Kurt). Paper cuts (O) Interpretation This one is about a kid who used to hang out with Kurt's first drug-dealer in Aberdeen. This kid came from a family who tortured their children, and kept them all in one room with black-painted windows and a pile of newspapers for toilet. The authorities later found out and took the kids away. The lyrics also seem to contain elements from Kurt's relationship with his mother.

They bring out the older ones They point in my way They come with the flashing lights And take my family away And very later I am known to Slap some friends of ridicule My whole existence is for your amusement And that is why I'm here with you! Don't taaake Me awaaay I've found Nirvana (x8) "Bleach" version (Interpretation 2) When I'm feeling tired She puts you through the door I crawl towards the cursed alley Sometimes I can't find my way This curtain's (Kurt is?) spellbound (still round?)

A good hosing down When the hate in my field eternal all four Cannot look me in the eyes But I asked the years ham radio blew And the car, twist, mouth, fear! Yaaah!

Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Stiff all in the collar Fluffy in the face. Chit chat chatter tryin' I begin to run. Want to Thank you for the party, I could never stay. Many thangs is on my mind, Words in the way. I want to Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Dance to the music, All nite long. Ev'ry day people, Sing a simple song. Mama's so happy Mama start to cry. Papa still singin' You can make it if you try. I want to Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Flamin' eyes of people fear, Burnin' into you. Many men are missin' much, Hatin' what they do. Youth and Truth are makin' love, Dig it for a starter. Dyin' young is hard to take, Sellin' out is harder. Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. I want to Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin.

I want to Thank you falettinme be mice elf Agin. Polly (O) A.k.a. Cracker (some think Seed is the same song as Cracker, but personally I believe that it's Misery loves company), Final fight, Hollywood smokes, (New wave) Polly Interpretation The lyrics are based on a true story from 1987. It's about a 14 year old girl who was abducted by a man and driven around in his van. The man then tortured and raped her. The only chance she had of escaping was to pretend to come on to him and persuade him to untie her. 'That's what she did, and she got away. Can you imagine how much strength that took?'. Comment The first version of this classic was recorded under the title Cracker around '88 with Sad. Cracker might also be called Seed. It was dubbed as 'mellow, 4-track shit' by Kurt in an advertisement. The early version is slower than the more known "Nevermind"-version. On "Incesticide" the song is found as (New wave) Polly - this version is a lot quicker than the original.

Possibilities (R, C - Viletones) A.k.a. Jealousy, Personalities, Jelousy, Jealous, Isebella Comment Played briefly on 01/23/93 with Krist on vocals.

Burroughs) A.k.a. Silent night Interpretation Hmmmm.... I'm not even going to try interpret this one. Go read the lyrics and figure out yourself. Very weird stuff... Comment A William S. Burroughs spoken word piece that Kurt supplies background guitar noise to. At the very beginning, Kurt plays 'Silent Night', and occasionally drifts back into that later on. About 30 minutes of Kurt on guitar was recorded, but only about 10 minutes was used on the track. Studio (1) Kurt's guitar track was recorded 11/??/92 in Seattle, WA. Available on "The priest they called him"-single. Live (0) No live recordings. Lyrics Fight tuberculosis, folks. Christmas Eve, an old junkie selling Christmas seals on North Park Street. The Priest, they called him. Fight tuberculosis, folks. People hurried by, gray shadows on a distant wall. It was getting late and no money to score. He turned into a side street and the lake wind hit him like a knife. Cab stop just ahead under a streetlight. Boy got out with a suitcase. Thin kid in prep school clothes, familiar face, the Priest told himself, watching from the doorway. Reminds me of something a long time ago. The boy, there, with his overcoat unbuttoned, reaching into his pants pocket for the cab fare. The cab drove away and turned the corner. The boy went inside a building. 'Hmm, yes, maybe' - the suitcase was there in the doorway. The boy nowhere in sight. Gone to get the keys, most likely, have to move fast. He picked up the suitcase and started for the corner. Made it. Glanced down at the case. It didn't look like the case the boy had, or any boy would have. The Priest couldn't put his finger on what was so old about the case. Old and dirty, poor quality leather, and heavy. Better see what's inside. He turned into Lincoln Park, found an empty place and opened the case. Two severed human legs that belonged to a young man with dark skin. Shiny black leg hairs glittered in the dim streetlight. The legs had been forced into the case and he had to use his knee on the back of the case to shove them out. 'Legs, yet' he said, and walked quickly away with the case. Might bring a few dollars to score. The buyer sniffed suspiciously. 'Kind of a funny smell about it'. 'It's just Mexican leather'. 'Well, some joker didn't cure it'. The buyer looked at the case with cold disfavor. 'Not even right sure he killed it, whatever it is. Three is the best I can do and it hurts. But since this is Christmas and you're the Priest...'. He slipped three notes under the table into the Priest's dirty hand. The Priest faded into the street shadows, seedy and furtive. Three cents didn't buy a bag, nothing less than a nickel. Say, remember that old Addie croaker told me not to come back unless I paid him the three cents I owe him. Yeah, isn't that a fruit for ya, blow your stack about three lousy cents. The doctor was not pleased to see him. 'Now, what do you WANT? I TOLD you!' The Priest laid three bills on the table. The doctor put the money in his pocket and started to scream. 'I've had TROUBLES! PEOPLE have been around! I may lose my LICENSE!' The Priest just sat there, eyes, old and heavy with years of junk, on the doctor's face. 'I can't write you a prescription'. The doctor jerked open a drawer and slid an ampule across the table. 'That's all I have in the OFFICE!' The doctor stood up. 'Take it and GET OUT!' he screamed, hysterical. The Priest's expression did not change. The doctor added in quieter tones, 'After all, I'm a professional man, and I shouldn't be bothered by people like you.' 'Is that all you have for me? One lousy quarter G? Couldn't you lend me a nickel...?' 'Get out, get out, I'll call the police I tell you.' 'All right, doctor, I'm going.' Of course it was cold and far to walk, rooming house, a shabby street, room on the top floor. 'These stairs,' coughed the Priest there, pulling himself up along the bannister. He went into the bathroom, yellow wall panels, toilet dripping, and got his works from under the washbasin. Wrapped in brown paper, back to his room, get every drop in the dropper. He rolled up his sleeve. Then he heard a groan from next door, room eighteen. The Mexican kid lived there, the Priest had passed him on the stairs and saw the kid was hooked, but he never spoke, because he didn't want any juvenile connections, bad news in any language. The Priest had had enough bad news in his life. He heard the groan again, a groan he could feel, no mistaking that groan and what it meant. 'Maybe he had an accident or something. In any case, I can't enjoy my priestly medications with that sound coming through the wall.' Thin walls you understand. The Priest put down his dropper, cold hall, and knocked on the door of room eighteen. 'Quien es?' 'It's the Preist, kid, I live next door. 'He could hear someone hobbling across the floor. A bolt slid. The boy stood there in his underwear shorts, eyes black with pain. He started to fall. The Priest helped him over to the bed. 'What's wrong, son?' 'It's my legs, senor, cramps, and now I am without medicine.' The Priest could see the cramps, like knots of wood there in the young legs, dark shiny black leg hairs. 'A few years ago I damaged myself in a bicycle race, it was then that the cramps started.' And now he has the leg cramps back with compound junk interest. The old Priest stood there, feeling the boy groan. He inclined his head as if in prayer, went back and got his dropper. 'It's just a quarter G, kid.' 'I do not require much, senor. The boy was sleeping when the Priest left room eighteen. He went back to his room and sat down on the bed. Then it hit him like heavy silent snow. All the gray junk yesterdays. He sat there received the immaculate fix. And since he was himself a priest, there was no need to call one. PSY (R, J, C - Butthole Surfers) A.k.a. Psychedelic Studio (0) No known recording.

However at the start of the destruction jam he says: 'I'm Jimi Hendrix', so I guess that could be an explanation why some think it's Purple haze. Studio (0) No studio recordings.

Radio friends, Four month media blackout, RFUS, Four month blackout. Mislabeled as My Sharona on some boots (probably due to the two songs being mixed together on 02/14/94) Interpretation According to Kurt this song is a throwaway. A bunch of random poetry lines thrown together. The title is a reference to Smells Like Teen Spirit and it's slick, radio-friendly sound.

Break me, Wreck me, Waif me (as printed on some versions of "In Utero"). Interpretation This song can be considered as Polly's response to her rapist. In Kurt's words, it's an anti-rape song. A sort of poetic justice, where a guy rapes a girl, ends up in jail, and gets raped there. The lyrics that were later added ('my favorite inside source...') are about the media's rape of the band. Comment In June '91 Kurt jammed on an acoustic guitar playing parts of Smells like teen spirit and Polly - apparently this evolved into Rape me.

There have been some confusion between the title of this one, and the two other songs Anorexorcist and Run rabbit run, which is two other songs.

Crisco, Demolition Comment This song is rumored to have been recorded during the VPRO session of 1991, but this is probably not true. Apparently Dave is doing the vocals in a Fred Schneider (from the B52's) impersonation. He used the same impersonation during a radio show with Foo Fighters while singing Wattershed. The beginning of this song sounds pretty much like 'Unknown#03' (the infamous jam shown on "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!"-video), but it could just be coincidence. Studio (0) No studio recordings.

Live (1) 08/30/92 - (briefly) - Reading Festival - Reading, UK Lyrics 08/30/92 - Reading Some say love, it is a river The original as it was performed by Bette Midler Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your sould to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed. It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give, and the sould afraid of dyin' that never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely and the road has been to long, and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong, just remember in the winter far beneath the winter snows lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose. Run to the hills (R, J, C - Iron Maiden) Comment Right after having jammed on Time To Kill on 02/22/94 Kurt and Dave does a short jam on this Iron Maiden song while Krist talks about drinking Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

Hot metal in the sun Pony in the air Sooey and saints at the fair Saints alive you're saying Walk in ... squares The hid are out, out for the year It's a lot of face A lot of crank air Eroding around here Summer's ready Summer is ready when you are I like all the different people I like every kind of fair In the crowd, you bet I'll be there! Walkin' around Going nowhere Seeing Sooey and saints at the fair Summer is ready when you are (x2) Summer's ready Summer is ready when you are Summer's ready Summer is ready when you are It's a lot of face, crank air Walking ... squares In the sun Summer is ready when you are Sappy (O) A.k.a. Everything and nothing, Another rule, The rocker, Happy, Happy again, Happy hour, Make him happy, Verse Chorus Verse, Mistero, The grasshopper. On the 11/09/89 setlist a song named Trophy appears. According to Chad Channing this is probably an early name for Sappy. Once it was thought that Sappy changed name to Verse Chorus Verse around '92/'93, but supposedly Verse Chorus Verse is the correct title for the song also know as In his hands, and not Sappy. An early and slower version is called Sad. The title Seed has been misused. Interpretation Possibly aimed at the church. Comment The title Sad appears on an early setlist for Nirvana in "Come As You Are", labeled as 'mellow 4-track shit'. This song is, in fact, a slower version of Sappy, with very gothic type vocals.

Give me your (x6) Love Seaside Suicide (U, S - pre-Nirvana) A.k.a. SS Comment This was brought forth by Nick Bromfield's movie, "Kurt & Courtney". During an interview, Kurt's aunt Mary claims that when Kurt was 17 years old, he played a couple of songs in her house together with a drummer (the recording of the "Fecal Matter"-demo tape"). One time when Kurt and the drummer went out to have dinner, Mary sneak in to the practice room and read some of Kurt's lyrics. One song was called Seaside Suicide and the suicidal lyrics made a big impression on her. According to Mary Kurt and the drummer never recorded this song. Shortly after the release of the movie, a fake version of the song began to circulate the internet. The title could be another name for Suicide Samurai. Studio (1) Probably played in Kurt's Aunt Mary's house, but according to Mary it was never recorded. Live (0) No known performances.

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere Think of me and I'll be there We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climb were just seasons out of time. Goodbye Papa please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along. Goodbye Papa its hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children everywhere When you see them I'll be there. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone. Goodbye Michelle my little one You gave me love and helped me find the sun And every time that I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground. Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With the flowers everywhere I wish that we could both be there We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone. All our lives we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climb were just seasons out of time...... Serve the servants (O) A.k.a. Sundown Interpretation An autobiographical song about the whole Nirvana experience, the 'witch hunt' on Courtney Love, and a sarcastic response to the emphasis placed on the divorce of Kurt's parents. Through the lyrics Kurt delivers a very straightforward message to his father Don Cobain: 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 / There is nothing I could say / that I haven't thought before. Kurt have explained that he just wanted his dad to know that he didn't had anything against him anymore.

And the vision planted in my brain, while I was sleeping The original as it was performed by Simon And Garfunkel Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come with talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared To stir the sound of silence Fool, said I, you do not know, silence, like a cancer, grows Hear my words and I might teach you, take my arms then I might reach you But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they'd made And the sign flashed its warning in the words that it was forming And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence Sounds of distortion (R, J) Comment The destruction-jam at the end of the Live & Loud MTV Show.

Comment May have been performed at early shows, but so far no real proof. Lyrics The original as it was performed by Led Zeppelin There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook There's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. There's a feeling I get When I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who standing looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it's whispered that soon If we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go In case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying a stairway to heaven. Stand (U, J, C - R.E.M.)

Sold Out!"-video Lyrics The original as it was performed by Francis Scott Key Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed, at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof thro' the night, that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave? Stay away (O) A.k.a. Star away An early demo version of this song is called Pay to play a.k.a. Make it big Interpretation The early title Pay to Play is a refference to a concept from the mid 80's where rockclubs, instead of paying the band, sold a stack of tickets to them which they then had to sell. Comment The early version Pay to play was recorded with three different drummers: Chad Channing, Dale Crover and Dave Grohl. The guitar riff from the song was apparently used on one of the songs on the "Fecal Matter"-demo.

Live (1) 02/22/94 - (13 sec, by Kurt, after Dumb) - Palagacchio - Rome, Italy Token eastern song (R) A.k.a. Token middle eastern song, Junkyard, Born in a junkyard, Happy hour, Happy tour Mistakenly, this song-title has also been confused with Black & white blues and If you must. Comment One of the most mysterious songs by Nirvana. Around '96 Junkyard and Token eastern song was thought to be two different songs. Junkyard was known trough live performances, but Token eastern song was unheard and was thought to be an all-instrumental song. According to Jack Endino and Chad Channing the two songs are alike, but the lyrics for Token eastern song is more rough, as the song was never finished. This was confirmed a few years later as a tape of 01/01/91 - Seattle Music Source Studios surfaced. The correct title for the song should indeed be Token eastern song.

The title Black & white blues has been misused. Comment Mystery song that appears on an early Nirvana setlist in "Come As You Are". At least two fake versions of this song is circulating. One is electric solo guitar, the other is acoustic solo guitar. The title may be an alias for another song - perhaps Scoff. Verse Chorus Verse (R) A.k.a. VCV, In his hands, In his room, Utopia in hell, Utopia in defeat, Without a shape Comment Once the title of this song was thought to be In his hands (a.k.a. In his room), but the real title is now believed to be Verse Chorus Verse. A setlist dated 04/17/91 labeled the song as Verse Chorus Verse, but apparently the setlist is not written by Kurt, and are therefore believed to be a fake by some. Nevertheless Verse Chorus Verse have recently become one of the most accepted titles for the song. Be aware though. The title Verse Chorus Verse have also been used for the song know as Sappy. Another misleading title for this song is Without a shape, which is probably from 04/17/91 where Kurt says the words 'without a shape', right before the song.

Into the dirt, Into the fire - into the dirt, Punky new wave number Interpretation Possibly an attack on the stereotypical macho man. Seem to be inspired by the Neil Young song My My Hey Hey (a.k.a. Hey Hey My My). This song contains the lyrics 'Out of the blue, and into the black' - which is awfully close to the Very Ape lyrics 'Out of the sky, into the dirt'. A reference to the same song can be found in the last part of Kurt's suicide letter, as the phrase 'It's better to burn out than to fade away' is taken directly from the Neil Young song.

Winnebago (U, ?) Comment According to the book 'Nirvana' by Jeremy Dean, this song was on Dave's demo-tape "Pocketwatch". The book claims that it was later released on Nirvana B-sides together with Marigold. We all know that there is no official release of this song, but maybe it really was done by Nirvana and is being kept by Geffen. Anyway, it has been played by Foo Fighters and appears on their single "This is a call". Yellow submarine (R, J, C - Beatles) Studio (0) No known recordings.

In an interview I heard Dave say that he think it's called I know you're right Interpretation Lyrics are very atypical for Kurt in my opinion. Some believe it's about Courtney Love. Comment Supposedly the studio version only has rough guide line vocals. Hole performed this song during their unplugged session. The correct title of this song was found out on June 28th 2001, when online news source "The Seattle Times" posted an article about the infamous Nirvana Box-set, mentioning that one of the songs to be featured would be the last song recorded by the band, named You Know You're Right.

Some have mistakenly called it All Along the watchtower Comment On the "Live! Tonight!

Some think this is a cover of the Bob Dylan song All Along the watchtower (also known as Jimi Hendrix's cover), but it doesn't sound like this at all.
