The *Official* Kurt Cobain Birthday Thread

You'veGotRedOnYou

Ok, the other Cobain page got a little outta hand. So lets all just chill and post our favorite Nirvana lyrics in honor of the guy's music. I'll start with my favorite Nirvana song:

Swap Meet

They lead a lifetstyle that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make their living off of arts and crafts
The 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 she 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

Brainofdz

Now your talking


"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"

"Just because your paranoid, don't mean there not after you"

"With eyes so dilated, I've become your pupil
You taught me everything about the poision apple
The water is so yellow I'm a healthy student"

"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
Maybe just happy"

"My favorite inside source, I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern, Your gonna stink and burn"

"Truth covered in security, Not gonna let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work,Trading off and taking turns
Don't regret a thing"

norm

Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go

Gramma take me home

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good

Gramma take me home

She said why don't you stop your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
That's what I did, I kicked my toe

After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep, and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms

Gramma take me home
Wanna be alone

((HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURT))

A day I am personally very grateful for. This man was a gift and wether people or like it or not he had a huge impact on many lives. Kurt connected with the masses. I’m beyond thankful for all that he gave, created, shared. His voice lives on forever. And what it voice it was.
I love how sloppy he’d get with it at times. haha. Cracking and breaking all over the place! Ah I LOVE IT! He was truly unique. I miss him.

I’ll have the Nirvana in heavy rotation all day today. A tribute for sure.... but Kurt is always in my thoughts.

Nirvana is undeniably one of my fav bands. Always has been, always will be. It's funny feeling like this is something you need to defend. :rolleyes:
Anyways, Bleach and In Utero OWN! I can’t imagine a musical world without them.
YES excellent pick Brainofdz . That’s what I was gonna post! Loooooooove that fuckin song!
*sigh* In Utero is incredibly eery, isn’t it?

Well here’s another one of my favs from it, and in general....


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


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
I miss the comfort in being sad
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 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 confort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad

OK there’s no way I can go without posting this song! I mean come on!
Always makes me feel the loss even more...
How about the Unplugged version?? Wooooooow.
*tears*


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

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
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

Duff_Man

nice choices guys:

my fave is On A Plain (i really love the unplugged version too)

I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled

Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?

The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command

Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?

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

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

Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?

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 a sense

Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?

One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home

Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain

sorry 'bout the long post

Kurt Cobain and Nirvana changed my life. Plain and simple. My life wouldnt be the same if it hadnt of been for this band and this man. It was a truely sad day when he died.

Thank you Kurt, and happy 40th.

Its quite sad indeed that we havent had another "music scene" or resurgence of rock since he died.

As far as his best songs, Something In the Way is chilling. Sliver is mindblowing. Polly is a great song.

I love Nirvana, but I really haven't listened to them in a while. But reading those lyrics brought back a lot of memories. Some of those lyrics are really mysterious and beautiful.

I think my favorite song is Dive. It has that great riff, really heavy vibe, and hypnotic atmosphere. Takes me to another place when I listen to it.

Love you Kurt and rest in peace

School

Won't you believe it
It's just my luck
No recess

You're in high school again

righteousbabe

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried

Thank you Kurt,
















For making Seattle a trendy place to live and thereby significantly raising our property values almost as high as San Fran, before I had a chance to buy in.

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? Yeahhhhh! Yeahhhh!

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

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy

He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with grass
And you'll think you're happy
Now

You're really in a laundry room
Conclusion came to you

And if you cut yourself
You will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll make him happy
He'll give you breather holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with grass
And you'll think you're happy
Now


You're really in a laundry room
Conclusion came to you


And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breather holes
And you will seem happy
You'll wallow in your shit
And you'll think you're happy
Now

You're really in a laundry room
Conclusion came to you

Happy Birthday!!

Fucking miss Nirvana.......

I am my own parasite
I dont need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphns

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 Im 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

One baby to another says
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube
and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

With eyes so dialated
I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything
about the poison apple
The water is so yellow
I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful
Vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

One baby to another says
I'm lucky to've met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube
and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I like you.

Wish there could have been more of that beautiful stuff.

I still remember the night many years ago that I first heard smells like teen spirit on the radio. I had to be close to 2 in the morning and on came this song that completly changed my perception of what music could be.

not my favorite overall song, but a big song in the soundtrack of my life.


Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overboard and self-assured
I know, i know , a dirty word

Hello, hello , hello how low,
Hello, hello, hello,how low,
Hello, hello, hello...

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid, and contagious
Here we are now , entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido,
Yeah

I'm worse at what I do best
And for that gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido,
Yeah

And i forget just why i taste
Oh yeah, i guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contageous
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido,
