NIRVANA

- On A Plain Lyrics

I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, then I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain

It doesnt have any meaning, but that was the great thing about Kurt. Even his most mundane thoughts scribbled down are 100% more meaningful than anything artists can put together today

These lyrics have no sense... Dave was sitting next to him on the plane when he scribbled down the words cos they were recording this song on the same day.. it was rushed with no meaning.

I think a lot of times Kurt had different lines he used from time to time. Like Teen Spirit. 'Load up on Guns, Kill your friends' and sometimes 'Load up on Drugs, bring your friends'.
