It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

ahh a beautiful song for a sunday matt, No Excuses one of my fave Alice tracks.

when the rock n' roll professionals roll in to town,
you know they're well paid (you got it)
they'll meet you and they'll greet you, then take to the stage
and work it great (you got it)

When a man can take a stand
And wash his hands
Of his scams
And watch his woman stand unafraid
Aid her in her fight to get paid
Help her get her medicines made
Let her step on out of the shade

And i will call him
Super solid
And i will call him
Super solid

It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
Yes it does
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
Yes it does

Is love sex?
Is the soul vexed ?
Is the earth next ?
We need respect

Can we love outside of the clan ?
Where's the sister in brotherman ?
Back to back
Divided we stand
Can we put some love
In the land?
I will call him supersolid
I will call him supersolid

Conquering, stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Tell me is this planet
Healing?
Conquering, stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Tell me is this planet
Healing?

When a man knows where he came from
He can't tell me I am shameful
And i will call him
Supersolid
I will call him
Supersolid

It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
It takes a strongman

He can stop trying
To get even
He will know he's
Here for a reason
To stand beside
His woman in peace
She's got the way
To release him

Where the bad folks go when they die.
They don't go to Heaven where the Angels fly.
Go to a Lake of Fire and fry.
See em' again til' the 4th of July.

-selected lyrics from Lake of fire, Nirvana

Don't Wanna Know Lyrics
the refreshments

Ghost town on a Tuesday night
That's o.k. I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer
Without a thousand people here
Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him man
He'll say he's just fine
Talk of songs and inspiration
Dreams and financial desperation

I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know

Well I don't wanna know

We've been saying we're going go somewhere
For a long long time
Nothing ever happens
Why's it never happen

Ya We've been prayin' we're going get somewhere
For a long long time
But it never happens
Why's it never happen

I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know

Cause I don't wanna know

technicaly speaking only half of Nirvana, Kurt & Dave performed it with Chris & Kurt Kirkwood at unplugged.

Pat and Krist watched.

Lonely two chicken eyes open and staring up at me
Only two lonely eyes, so rare and raging...
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go

Watchit man, leave it where you lie
I come for you, a-lightly, I suck up into your mind
We'll leave it all behind I selling you a lonely, I march up into your eyes

Lonely two chicken eyes
Open and staring up at me...
Wait until my momma gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, momma, gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, mama, let me tell you well my momma said "Lie..."

Hey man watch it where you lie, i come into your psyche
You're sleeping - I'm in your mind filled waiting on desire
I was hoping we'd be lonely
I suck up into your...

Why do you run around here
To ask why do you run around me
To ask why do you run around here
Ask why, then, why, then,
ask you silly fuck

I'm going away

Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love
Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love for me...
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on I will forget
Tell me are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I'm talking to...
Lovey don't
Lovey dove
Lovey dove
Lovey dove
Loving, I'll see you
Love, love, love
Love him, I see you
Love, love, love
Love him - up to you.

Lonely love...

Put the houses in a row
On the streets we used to know
And all the things out in the yard
That can hang there to and fro

And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've an easy heart

From the windows of your house
Reflects back on yourself
Then it gets you wondering'
If it means anything

And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've had a pretty hard life
I've had a pretty hard life
For such an easy heart

You move away when you're young
They take away where you're from
And all the things out in the trees
Fall away in to the breeze

And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've had a pretty hard life
I've had a pretty hard life
For such an easy heart

WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing’s gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin’ of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come

The first time I saw you
You were chasin' down a cyclone all alone in the field
With railyards and clovers, I kept rollin' on
Never thought you'd wind up chasin' me

Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste, no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane

You're tired of walkin'
And you loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely touch your feet
Life moves too slowly to hold you down
With ring in hand, you take it out on me

Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane

So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind

Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane

So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind

The painter stood
Before her work
She looked around every where
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colors from the air

Green to green
Red to red
Yellow to yellow
In the light
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue
In the night

It's a long road
Behind me
It's a long road
Ahead

If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.

She towed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of too many
But in the end
She fell down
Before she got up again

I keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can't be found

It's a long road behind me
And I miss you now

If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.

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 enternally
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

Hello there
The angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim
Of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends......

Where are you?
And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
I miss you, miss you
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
I miss you, miss you...

pick yer nose

how come i can pick my ears
but not my nose
who made up that rule anyway
how can you say that's the way it is
that's just the way it goes
why don't you decide for yourself
what you can do
and what you can say

how come i can pick my friends
but not my enemies
what is it about me that offends
what is it about me
'cause you know i'm only five foot two
and i'm giggly wiggly
tell me again, what did i do
why are you scared of me
i fight with love
and i laugh with rage
you've gotta live light enough
to see the humor
and long enough to see some change

i think shy is boring
i think depressed is too
i think pretty is nice
but i'd rather see something new
all these plastic people
got their plastic surgery
but we got a big big beautiful
we got it for free
who you gonna be
if you can't be yourself
you can't get it from t.v.
you can't force it on
anybody else

you know they come to clear cut
they come to strip mine
they come for some of my big butt
my big brain
or just a little time
they wanna take me out to dinner
think i'm a bitch if i don't go
seems like the people who actually like me
won't allow me to say no
your idea of a conversation
is the third degree
but i don't really know you
and i don't really want to talk about me

'cause i'm not going to pretend
that i don't pick my nose
that's just the way it is, my friends
that's just the way it goes
this is who i am
what i do
and what i say
if you like it, let it be
if you don't, please do the same
i fight with love
i laugh with rage
you gotta live light enough to see the humor
and long enough to see some change

Twelve men broke loose in '73
From millhaven maximum security
Twelve pictures lined up across the front page
seems the mounties had a summertime war to wage
The chief told the people they had nothing to fear
The last thing they'd wanna do is hang around here
They mostly came from towns with long French names
But one of the dozen was a hometown shame

Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty 18 years in all
Freezing slow time away from the world
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl

We were sitting round table, heard the telephone ring
Father said he'd tell me if he saw anything
Heard the tap on the window in the middle of the night
Held back the curtains for my older brother Mike

See my sister got raped, so a man got killed
Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place

My mother cried "The horror has finally ceased"
He whispered "yeah, for the time being, at least"
Over his shoulder, on the squad car megaphone
Said "Let's go Michael, son, we're taking you home"

Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty 18 years in all
Freezing slow time away from the world
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl

"Sugar We're Going Down"

Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]

Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]

Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

she said to me, over the phone
she wanted to see other people
I thought, "well then, look around, they're everywhere"
said that she was confused...
I thought, "darling, join the club"
24 years old, mid-life crisis
nowadays hits you when you're young
I hung up, she called back, I hung up again
the process had already started
at least it happened quick
I swear, I died inside that night
my friend, he called
I didn't mention a thing
the last thing he said was, "be sound"
sound...
I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words
but I'm still here
and small
so small.. how could this struggle seem so big?
so big...
while the palms in the breeze still blow green
and the waves in the sea still absolute blue
but the horror
every single thing I see is a reminder of her
never thought I'd curse the day I met her
and since she's gone and wouldn't hear
who would care? what good would that do?
but I'm still here
so I imagine in a month...or 12
I'll be somewhere having a drink
laughing at a stupid joke
or just another stupid thing
and I can see myself stopping short
drifting out of the present
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
and there I am, standing
wet grass and white headstones all in rows
and in the distance there's one, off on it's own
so I stop, kneel
my new home...
and I picture a sober awakening, a re-entry into this little bar scene
sip my drink til the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been too good at happy endings...

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through...

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your heart for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

What does friend mean to you?
A word so wrongfully abused
Are you like me, confused
All included but you
Alone...

The sounds of silence often soothe
Shapes and colors shift with mood
Pupils widen and change their hue
Rapid brown avoid clear blue

Why's it have to be this way
Be this way

Flowers watched through wide brown eyes bloom
A child sings an unclaimed tune
Innocence spins cold cocoon
Grow to see the pain too soon

Why's it have to be this way
Be this way (5x)

"At 7 am on a Tuesday, usual August ...
Next week I'll be 28...
I'm still young, it'll be me...
Off the wall I scrape... you...
I can't wake, I gotta wake...
To cause this wake, I gotta wake no more...
It causes wake, to drown this hate....
To never really stay, never will.....
You take your plate...
Put me through hell, live, live...
Direct your fate...
You say I can do it so well...
Your expiration date...
Fate, date, expiration date...
(this was the last time)
Hate...
And don't fuck with me again...
My own clean slate...
Don't fuck with me again...
Makes your eyes dilate...
Makes you shake...
Irate..."
