Milk It Lyrics

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 won 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

Milk It

Like "Heart-Shaped Box" and "Drain You," this song explores many medical themes. It also appears to be about love in some form.

Very Ape Lyrics

I am buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary lies
I take pride as the kind 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

Very Ape

This is another one of Kurt Cobain's songs about the stereotypical "Macho Man."

Gallons Of Rubbing Alchohol Flow Through The Strip

A loose jam of a song, it seems to hang around the theme of writer's block and bad relationships.

This was a hidden track on Nirvana's third studio album, In Utero.

Tourette's Lyrics

Moderate Rock

May day, every day, my day
Could've had a heart attack, my heart
We don't know anything, my heart
We all want something fair, my heart

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Out of town, out of sight, is my heart
Queen of lies, today, my heart
One more on the phone, my heart
One more at the door of my heart

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Mean heart
Cold heart
Cold heart
Cold heart
Cold heart
Cold heart
Cold heart
Cold heart

Yeah

Tourette's

Only 92 seconds long, this is a mix of wailing vocals, overdriven guitars, and pulsating drum beats. The only completely understandable lyrics arrive at the end, with Kurt Cobain screaming, "Cold Heart."

Tourette's is a disease in which the victim suffers fits of intense rage and violent language.

Serve The Servants Lyrics

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge
More than they have sold

If she floats than 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
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before

Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore

Serve The Servants

This is Kurt Cobain's most autobiographical song. The lyrics contain references to his father ("I tried hard to have a father but instead I had a dad"), his wife Courtney Love ("If she floats, then she is not a witch") and his own success ("teenage angst has paid off well").

The witch reference about Courtney Love in the first verse was Cobain's frustration with the press for constantly vilifying Love as a horrible wife, mother, drug addict and detriment to Nirvana.

The divorce of Cobain's parents inspired the line, "That legendary divorce is such a bore."

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter Lyrics

Use just once and destroy
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'ed with ciggarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
Second-rate third defree 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 ever 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

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

According to Kurt Cobain, this song is a throwaway song - just a bunch of random poetry lines thrown together.

The title is a reference to the Nirvana song "Smells Like Teen Spirit

," and it's slick, radio-friendly sound. The original title for the song, "Four Month Media Blackout," is a reference to late 1991 and 1992, when "Teen Spirit" was on the charts. (thanks, Steve - Whippany, NJ, for above 2)

Nirvana used this to open many of their 1993 and 1994 shows. (thanks, Carlito - Cameron Park, CA)

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle Lyrics

It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to hear 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 withness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
Our favorite 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

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle

Frances Farmer was an actress who starred in several popular films in the '30s and '40s, but developed a reputation for being very difficult on the set. In 1942 she was arrested for drunk driving and made the mistake of going to Mexico, which violated her parole. When she returned, she was put in a mental institution where she reportedly underwent shock treatments and a lobotomy. She was released in 1950 and began a comeback in 1958, starring in the film The Party Crashers and getting her own TV show called Frances Farmer Presents. In 1970, Farmer died of cancer at age 56.

In this song it appears Kurt Cobain is likening himself to Frances Farmer. While Frances was almost infamous for her difficulty to work with and her battle with her movie studio, which forced her into bad roles. She demanded much and later all she got for it was a series of mental collapses and a failed battle with alcoholism. Kurt related Farmer's battles against her contracts with corporate Hollywood with his difficulty with his record label, which he felt was holding him back and stifling his art, making him release poppy stuff he was never satisfied with. Farmer was born in Seattle, but Kurt had a lot more to do with the city than she did, which leads me to believe this is not a musical biography... not Kurt's style. (thanks, Jason - Cincinnati, OH)

Cobain and Courtney Love have a daughter named Frances Bean, but she was named after Frances McKee, of The Vaselines, who were a Scottish punk band from the early '90s. (thanks, call me folgers - salem, NY)

Rape Me Lyrics

Rape Me, rape me my friend
Rape me, rape me again
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You're gonna stink and burn

Rape me, rape me my friend
Rape me, rape me again
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)
Rape me (rape me)

Rape Me

Kurt Cobain wanted to make a strong statement in support of women and against violence toward them. In his words, the song is a sort of poetic justice. A guy rapes a girl. He ends up in jail and is raped there. It's also believed that the song was in direct relation to his feeling of being raped by the media, in particular Vanity Fair and MTV. (thanks, Justin Gregg - Harrah, OK)

In 1996, Wal-Mart adopted a policy of not carrying any objectionable materials in their stores. While they continued to sell guns and cigarettes, they made many musicians alter their albums before they would sell them, resulting in "clean" and "dirty" versions of many albums. Nirvana had to change the title listed on the album to "Waif Me" before Wal-Mart would carry it.

The guitar in this song is basically "Smells Like Teen Spirit" backwards. Cobain thought that if a song was played backwards it would take on a new character. (thanks, Max - Merrick, NY)

Cobain wrote this from the perspective of a victim replying to a rapist. It's the reverse of Nivana's "Polly," which is from the perspective of the rapist.

At the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, Nirvana were told strictly by MTV not to perform this when they opened the show. In a typical Cobain move, the band strummed the opening chords of the song, sending MTV execs into a panic, before switching to the less controversial "Lithium." (thanks, Matt - Millbrae, CA)
