Kurt Donald Cobain (1967 – 1994)
Lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the American grunge band, Nirvana.
I can’t comment on Soundgarden because I know them personally and I really like them a lot, but I have strong feelings towards Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains and bands like that. They’re obviously just corporate puppets that are just trying to jump on the alternative bandwagon - and we are being lumped into that category.
I'm so happy
'Cause today I found my friends
They're in my head.
I'm so ugly, that's okay
'Cause so are you,
Broke our mirrors.
Hard luck god, he never had a chance, you know.
Incurable romantics never do.
Everything I love the most get taken away. My momma and music is next.
And if that happens before I turn 28. Then I'm going out with Kurt Cobain.
OK, you trained monkeys, everybody jump up and down. Let's bring back the good old pogo!
Get your brains bashed in so bad
You gone have Kurt Cobain asking
To autograph a bloodstained napkin.
A couple weeks ago, one of my students gave me a mixed tape of Kurt Cobain and there was a version of "Black Girl" of great artistry. Great vocal control and subtlety, it's almost as good as Leadbelly's.
The whole world was crying when Kurt's gun went bang
When Eazy-E died though, it wasn't no thang
Rapper dies of A.I.D.S. but you hardly mention
Rocker blows his face off and becomes a legend.
They (Extreme) surround themselves with these professional, dickhead, commercial rock and roll guys...when they show up at an airport, their manager runs ahead of them and yells at the people greeting them, 'No video! We want a path straight to the van! We don't want any pictures taken!' Y'know, I'm like, "So what?"
Some believe that you are God,
Others say you were an idiot.
But I only see a good, sad man,
Whose name was K. Cobain.
Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as a known enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally.
What's the matter with all you people at the back, did you come here to see Gloria Estefan?
I'll be the first to admit that we're the 90's version of Cheap Trick or the Knack but the last to admit that it hasn't been rewarding.
I spent all of my life trying to stay away from sports and here I am in a sporting arena.
Maybe if I put a bullet in my brain
They'd remember me like Kurt Cobain
And the parasites on MTV
Would wipe their eyes and act like they knew me .
Nigga that's no lie, no joke, no game, no fabrication
Last name must be Cobain.
Ne me parle pas de travail ? la chaîne
Je veux pas finir comme Kurt Cobain.
(Don't talk to me about working on the assembly line
I don't wanna end like Kurt Cobain.)
I miss the comfort in being sad.
