Almost Golden

It's about Ed Norton.

This song's really pretty.

the version I have doesn't match the first verse on here :S still a funky song

her way with words..

i love ms.courtney, and this song!!!

my favourite :)

and yeah i think some of the lyrics are wrong

isnt this "My dress is the prettiest" "murderess is the prettiest"? i think thats such a powerful lyric, so like bitter i cant explain like saying she's got away with doing what they think she did, but she knows she didnt actually do it, and is saying they are all surprised she is the 'best', or prettiest, although they think its like a cover for how 'evil' she is inside, and it is just so incredibly, for want of a better word, emotional!

or, it could be nothing to do with that.

sooo before i say this i just want everyone to know that i DO NOT believe that courtney killed kurt, but i can see how lyrics in this song are really ironic towards that conspiracy theory

Sorry 'bout the fire Sorry 'bout the torch Sorry i had to have my revenge (conspiracy theory says that the time before kurts death was a rough patch for their marraige, and that they were in the middle of geting a divorce, but courtney really didnt want one so her "revenge" was to kill him) Send it in a note ( kurt sent courtney a note a week or so before he died and said he was leaving her and frances) Suid you cannot go (she said you can't leave me and yoru baby,and i wont let you leave) Say you were sick, you cant get dressed (i dont know for sure about this one but i think this has to do with kurts addiction) Come on be on fire Come on be a liar My dress is the prettiest (sounds like murderess is the prettiest, which might be a play on words, her reffering to the fact that shes a murderer and she got away with it) Cover me in burns (about all the people who accused her of murder) Everyone take a turn (agian, about people criticizing her) I'm already humiliated (she already feels self guilt, people giving her shit doesnt make a difference)

My oh my he's in his gloriousness (saying that kurts in his glory, he wanted to be dead) Watch him tear me down with such a vengeance (wherever he is, he is enjoying the fact that she is suffering) Hold on to me Yeah baby hold hold on tight (refers to how even though she hates him she still loves him and misses him refer to song hold on to me) Yeah well just see which one of us gets out alive (sarcastic, saying your dead, you lost this battle, fuck you)

agian i dont believe courtney killed kurt at all. i love both nirvana and hole and i love kurt and courtney, they are both fucking awesome

and btw, i think these lyrics are a little messed up

i also think it's meant sarcastica bout the fact that people think she killed kurt:

it think the first lines - "sorry 'bout the things I'll never do to you" - in my eyes she says sarcastic like: "sorry for something i would never do, and in your eyes i did it, somehow i know i would never do it." i know i can't explain it that good, but that's what i think about it.

am i the only one who thinks this is about a golden shower? [Color me humiliated]
