Lithium (early acoustic version)
Lyrics: Kurt Cobain

I'm so happy
Cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly
That's ok, cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning
Is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles
In a daze, cause I found God

Hey hey hey, hey!
Yeah hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm so lonely
That's ok, you shaved your head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
And I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny
That's ok, my will is good

Hey hey hey, hey!
Yeah hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Archivist's note: In this early acoustic version of Lithium, recorded in 1990, we learn who the "you" is that Kurt is addressing in the song:


Here's a picture from 1989. Kurt was not happy with Krist's new look, comparing it to a "Nazi".
