Song lyrics
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice
Your advice

This is basically one of the only songs I like from Nirvana. It's really nice to listen to and totally fun to play on Guitar Hero. Heck yes!

One of Nirvana's best songs. Seether did a great cover of it at one of their concerts, and after it he threw his guitar at the drum set just like Kurt used to do. The only thing that probably could have topped it was if Nirvana was there to play the song themselves.

the day kurt left this world was a sad day indeed. he wasnt super-human, but he was better than us all in his own right,and he hurt inside for it. this song is awesome.

somebody asked "how do you know that Courtney murdered Kurt? That is something only they know" or something like that. So, U see, I read somwhere that there was evidence of Kurt's goodbye-note being written by Courtney, and also, it was discovered that allegedly there was no fingerprints on the gun whatsoever. And, after his death the house they lived in was destroyed after Courtney's request. See? She isn't all that good. Personally I hate her, but I read Kurt's last interview and it said that he always hated when people called women whores, and thought they should be treated like heavenly beings. That's why I don't ever call Courtney that. I respect Kurt too much.
Sorry for the length of the post.

"She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak"
