Blew (11 Jun 1988)
Lyrics: Kurt Cobain

We were in a garden wastin' time
And we were in our love and we like to blew
We were in a garden, like to use
And if you wouldn't mind I would like to spew

Seen it, believe it, need it, is it sane?
Is there another reason for a man?
Is there another, horny, next to me?

And if you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
And if you wouldn't mind if we overdo
Let me sit it down I would like to use
And if you wouldn't mind I would like to grew

Is there a reason you never seem insane?
Is there another madness? To make you mine
Is there another reason for your stain?

Is there a meaning for this? I'm insane
Is there another time for most to fade?
Is there another madness for this soul? / meaning for this song?

You could be anything x3
You could do anything x5

Archivist's notes: This recording was opened in Audacity and the vocal was isolated, making the words easier to understand and transcribe. "Spew" and "grew" were both quite easy to hear with the vocal isolated, and note the use of "overdo", which also appears in Aneurysm, revealing the sexual nature of both songs. "Overdo it and have a fit" = "Fool around too much and have an orgasm"

For two other songs that use the word "faded", click here and here. Kurt and Krist seem to have had their own special meaning for the term, which appears to be used as slang for orgasm.
