I would deeply appreciate someone posting lyrics to "Nevermind", assuming
of course there actually are lyrics...

Yes there are lyrics. :) Here they are:
Smells Like Teen Spirit
-----------------------
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

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

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

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

hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

In Bloom
--------
Sell the kids for food
-weather changes moods
Spring is here again
-reproductive glands

He's the one who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
And I say aahh

We can have some more - nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit - tender age in bloom

Come As You Are
---------------
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is your, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

Breed
-----
I don't care if I'm old
I don't mind if I don't have a mind
Get away, get away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of a ghost

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said

Lithium
-------
I'm so happy because today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, cause so are you...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze...
Cause I've found god - hey, hey, hey

I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there...
But I don't care
I'm so horny but that's okay...
My will is good - hey, hey, hey

I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I kill you - I'm not gonna crack

Polly
-----
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

Territorial Pissings
--------------------
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions

Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman

Just because you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not after you

Gotta find a way to find a way when I'm there
Gotta find a way - a better way -
I had better wait

Drain You
---------
One baby to another said,
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
A 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 because I like you

With eyes so dilated,
I've became your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful -
Vacuum out the fluids

Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins because I'm like you

Lounge Act
----------
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything yoy need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone

I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you

Stay Away
---------
Monkey See, monkey do
I don't know why I'd rather be deal than cool
Every line ends in rhyme
Less is more, love is blind
Stay away
Give an inch, take a smile
Fashion shits, fashion style
Throw it out and keep it in
Have to have poison skin
Stay away
God is gay, burn the flag

On A Plain
----------
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled

I 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

I'm on a plain
I can't complain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a 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 sense

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

Something In The Way
--------------------
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings

Something in the way

Endless Nameless
----------------
---[Interpretation 1]
Silence
Here I am
Here I am
Silent

Bright and clear
It's what I am
I have
Died

uhhhh

Death
With violence
Excitment
Right here

Died
Go to hell
Here I am
Right here

Ow

No mas

Death
Is what I am
Go to hell
Go to jail

In back of that
Crime

Here I am
Take a chance
Dead

Die

---[Interpretation 2] Silence, here I am
I am, silence

Bright and clear, it's what I am
Silence, I am

Mother, Father (Mother, come on; Father, come on) 7/23/93
Father, Mother

Death and violence
Excitement, I am

Dyin', lyin'
Dyin', go to hell -- aaoohh!

Mother, no mas
No mas, Mama

Still, silence
I am, hurt again

Imagine that, crime
Here I am, (chargin')

Dead

Die

Lyrics to Nevermind, by Nirvana
I'm not sure about some of the lyrics so post any
corrections you feel necessary.

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend

She's over bored and self-assured


Oh no, I know a dirty word

Chorus:


Hello, hello, hello, how low?
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
Yay! Yay!

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed

Our little group has always been


And always will until the end

Chorus


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

Chorus, replacing 'Yay! Yay!' at end with 'A denial'
repeated until end of song.

------------------------------------------------------

In Bloom


Sell the kids for food, weather changes moods
Spring is here again, reproductive glands

Chorus:


He's the one who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it mean

Knows not what it mean
And I say


He's the one who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it mean

Knows not what it mean
And I say yeah

We can have some more, nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit, tender age in bloom

Chorus

Chorus

------------------------------------------------------

Come As You Are


Come
As you are
As you were


As I want you to be
As a friend

As a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
Don't be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

Come
Dowsed in mud
Soaked in bleach


As I want you to be
As a trend

As a friend
As an old memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

Memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

No i don't have a gun

Memory
Memory

Note: 'Memory' is sung more like 'Memory yeah' but the
start of 'Memory' and the beginning of 'yeah' are
blurred together, or at least that's what I think.

------------------------------------------------------

Breed

I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, care if I'm old

I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
Mind, don't have a mind

Get away, get away
Get away, get away
Get away, away from your home

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid, I'm afraid

'Fraid of a ghost

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

She said (8 times)

Come on everybody, put a smile on your broads (?)
Everybody get together, try to love one another
Right now

When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions

Chorus:
Gotta find a way
To find a way
When I'm there
Gotta find a way
A better way
I had better wait

Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman

Chorus twice

Just because you're paranoid

It don't mean they're not after you


Chorus four times
