Lyrics to Bleach

Blew

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

You could do anything





Floyd the Barber

Bell on a door ring, "Come on in."
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face

I was shaved
I was shaved
I was shamed

Barney ties me to a chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips

I sense others in the room (Floyd lets)
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch (Aunt Bea's muff)





About a Girl

I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night (for) free

I'm standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too (to or two)
I do... keep a date with you





School

Won't you believe it
It's just my luck

No recess

You're in high school again





Love Buzz

Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz?





Paper Cuts

At my feeding time
She pushes food through the door
I crawl towards the cracks of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spread around)Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due againA good hosing down

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate
I said so Nirvana

Black windows of paint
I scratch with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They point at my way
They come with the flashing lights
And take my family away

And very later I have learned to
Accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!
Ow...to take you with me...
Your right Nirvana





Negative Creep

This is out of our range... and it's grown
This is getting to be... droan
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more

Yeah! Droan! Stoned!





Scoff

In my eyes, I'm not lazy
In my face, It's not over
In your room, I'm not older
In your eyes, I'm not worth it
Gimme back my alcohol

Give me all your... (live: Still a failure)
Give me your
Love
Fuck





Swap Meet

They need a lifestyle that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make a living off of arts and crafts
The kind with seashells, driftwood, and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show
Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps her photographs close to her heart
(They) keep(s) the bitterness close to the heart





Mr. Moustache

Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow I am not proud

Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and give it cleaning
As I eat cow I am not proud

Easy in an easychair
Poop as hard as rock
I don't like you anyway
Silly little fucks ( Seal it in a box)

I'm new
I'm who?
(Damn you)I'm you





Sifting

Afraid to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self-loss
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some fear none
Wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes... Teacher said
Your eyes... Preacher said

Don't have nothing for you

Spell the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search for a church
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cold and coals
Wouldn't it be fun?





Big Cheese

Big cheese Make me
Mine says, "Go to the office"

Big cheese Make meMine says,
"What'd it (I) say?" (live: Bloody Hell)

Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies
Show you all what a man is

Big lies Make my
Mine says, "Go to the office"

Big cheese Make me
Message? What is it?

Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies
She is glue how are you?
(glue = good)Ohhhhh, nice, (night) (right)





Downer

Butchered sincerity, act out of loyalty
Defend your true country, wish away pain
Hand out lobotomies, to save little families
Surrealistic fantasy, bland, boring, pain

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece, shun in bastard
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody says that they are not much like
I amI know I can make enough words for you to follow along
I sing your song

Sickening pessimists, hypocrite master
Conservative communists, apocalyptic bastards
Thank you, dear God for putting me on this
EarthI feel very privileged in debt for my thirst
