"About A Girl" lyrics
"About A Girl"
Good evening
This is off of our first record
Most people don't own it
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
Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night, free
I do
I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you
Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night, free
I do
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
Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
No I can't see you every night
Free, I do
I do
I do
I do
Thanks to Kayleigh Hayles, wat for correcting these lyrics.
Writer(s): Kurt Cobain
Chad Channing, Nirvana's drummer, said that Kurt Cobain hadn't had a title for a song he'd once brought into the studio. When asked what it was about, Cobain replied, "It's about a girl."
The girl, this song is about, was Tracy Marander, Kurt Cobain's girlfriend at the time. The song shows the couple's uneasy relationship, because Cobain refused to find a job or to help clean their apartment. But she hadn't known that the song had been about her until she read "Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana".
Kurt Cobain wrote "About A Girl" after listening to the album of
"The Beatles", "Meet The Beatles" (1964), the whole previous night long.
Kurt Cobain said in a 1993 interview,
"I was heavily into pop, I really liked R.E.M., and I was into all kinds of old '60s stuff. But there was a lot of pressure within that social scene, the underground—like the kind of thing you get in high school. And to put a jangly R.E.M.-type-of pop song on a grunge record, in that scene, was risky."

Mad Season - "Wake Up" Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
Your love affair has got to go
For 10 long years, for 10 long years
The leaves to rake up

Blue, clouded grey
You're not a crack...
