1. Blew

If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe him when you stressed and strained
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
You could do anything

2. Floyd the Barber

Bell on door ring: come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steaming hot towel on my face

I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Bee-Bee pressed against my lips

I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved

I sense others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Aunt Bee's muff...

I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shaved


3. About a Girl

I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I do, think you 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'm standing in your line
I do, hope you have the time
I do, pick a number too
I do, keep a date with you

 

4. School

Won't you believe it
It's just my luck

No recess

You're in high school again

5. Love Buzz

Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz

6. Paper Cuts

At my feeding time
She pushed food through the door
And I crawl towards the cracks of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
-a good hosing down
The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate

I said so
Nirvana

Black windows of paint
I scratched with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They pointed my way
They come with a flashing light
And take my family away
And very later I have learned to
Accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!
To take you with me

You're right
Nirvana

7. Negative Creep

This is out of our reach... and it's grown
This is getting to be... drone
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more

This is out of our range... and it's grown
This is getting to be... like drone
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more

8. Scoff

In my eyes
I'm not lazy
In my face
It's not over
In your room
I'm not older
In your eyes
I'm not worth it

Gimme back my alcohol

Heal a million
Kill a million
Peal a million
Feal a million
Kill a million
Heal a million

9. Swap Meet

They lead a lifestyle that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make their living off of arts and crafts
They kind with seashells driftwood and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart

Keeps her photographs close to her heart

Keeps the bitterness close to the heart

 

10. Mr. Moustache

Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud.

Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud.

Easy in an easychair
Poop as hard as a rock.
I don't like you anyway
Stupid little fucks

I'm new
I'm who?
I'm you

11. Sifting

Afraid to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self loss
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some felt numb
Wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes... Teacher said,
Your eyes... Preacher said,
Don't have nothing for you

Spell the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search for church
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cold in coals
Wouldn't it be fun?

12. Big Cheese

Big cheese Make me
Mine says, Go to the office
Big cheese Make me
Mine says, what is this?

Black is black, no trading back
We were enemies
Sure you are, but what am i?

Big lies make mine
Mine says Go to office
Big cheese Make me
Message? What is it?

Black is black, no trading back
We were enemies
She eats glue, how bout you?

13. Downer

Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend your true country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland boring, plain

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole thing shun in bastard?
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words for you to go along
I'll sing your song

Slippery pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst
