For those who've asked, here's what I could scrounge up on the lyrics
to the Nirvana song, "Tourette's". As you'll see, there are no "set"
lyrics. (I've done a touch of bleeping.)

Tourette's

Cufk, Tish, Sips (F**k, S**t, P**s)

---[Interpretation 1]
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!
Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy!
Out of town, out of sight (fire), 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!
Heyyyyyyyyyyy!

Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart -- uhhhhhhh!

---[Interpreation 2]
Moderate Rock...
It's your enemy, no way!
Get out all the time of my heart
There's no enemy in my heart
Well I'm sick--a path in my heart (--of what I've found in my heart)
All the time I've been f**ked--it's my heart
We're all also dead in my heart
Oh no! It's the fault of my heart
Oh no! It's the fault of my heart
We are...Tourette

All I can say about these lyrics is that your guess is as good as mine.
I just decided to give you mine.. :)

This song appears to be about a heart attack, but that's just my
opinion. I still have yet to figure out how the name tourette's fits or
who is referenced by the "your" in the first line..

Quoting bsho...@unix1.tcd.ie (who made the chord for this song):
"Anyway, the lyrics (according to the author) were screamed on the spot,
no lyric sheet here. Make what you can of them. The only thing I could
discern was `Cold heart` in the chorus. Good luck....."

Just so you know, I couldn't really make out the words in []'s so I just
guessed. Not to say the rest of it is right, either. :) If you have any
alternate words that would fit better, or could help me out on what this
song is all about, please mail me at wzo...@netcom.com. Thanks...

Moderate rock..

Here's your enemy in my life
Get out, out of sight, of my heart
Will no [additive] of my heart
Pull hard, sever free, of my heart?
HEY!

HEY!

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! (3x)

I don't care, I'm [afraid], it's [my heart]
[Clear all] effigy of my heart
Oh no! it's the fall of my heart
Oh no! it's the call of my heart
HEY!

HEY!

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[Wring a knot],
Cold heart (7x)

Me hot, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart

DISCLAIMER: These interpretations are taken from interviews with the
band and other articles. They are not my opinion of what the songs mean.
The songs aren't meant to be deeply analyzed. In an interview Kurt
once said that the songs are whatever you want them to mean.

tourette's (1:33)
- This song has no meaning at all. Kurt just screamed alot.
based on tourette's syndrome, which causes one to shout out obscenities
at any time.
