Nirvana – Bambi Slaughter

Suzy
Get the first (???)
Raiding
Grandma's garages
Selling
Personally possessions for bucks
Ah, that's my daddy's
Favorite gold plated watch

Step in a basket from apples
Scrubbing my nerves with wild rust
What the intensions will in front (???)
May the death in the wide nerves (???)

Bambi slaughter, it ain't the same as killing humans
Bambi slaughter, it ain't the same as killing humans
Bambi slaughter, it ain't the same as killing humans
Stand away
Been awhile

Looking
The medicine cabinet for drugs
Stealing
Tobacco from grocery stores
Scamming
Tapes from my trust worth friends
They just need planning
Pretty little houses to rob

    General CommentThe love of two - the ring
    A desire, what is it? - what he desires that he needs the money for

    General Commenti dont think the ring storu makes much sense... It just sounds like a love song. The whole song. And it doesn't have anything to do with a ring.
    "Hey, the love of two
    A desire, is whats for you
    is it real? A lulliby?" doesnt that sound like he's in love and he cant believe the feeling, and he's asking if this is real, cos it's so much 4 him.

    It's just the ring thing doesnt fit in... Are u sure?

    General Commentreally people need to ask themselves something you say that the lyrics didn't make sense with the story behind it but think about it a lot of stuff about Kurt didn't make sense
