Polly Lyrics

Lyric discussion by anni 

Cover art for Polly lyrics by Nirvana

Mhhm, i read that after one of kurt's concerts (or some other bands) someone kidnapped a young girl, and raped her, and hurt her with a blowtorch and so on. Kurt found that so sickening and got really angry, that he wrote this ironic song. It's against rape!

When some guys afterwards raped a girl, playing this song to it, Kurt got really angry that they misinterpreted it wrong, and that those were the kinds of fans he had, so he wrote in some Cd cover "to anyone that hates women, blacks, gays and so on, leave us the fuck alone" I'm not sure on how it exactly goes ..... that's just what i read somewhere, who knows, it could always be a lie??

@anni That's something Kurt wrote in the liner notes to Incesticide.

@anni. Hey, I wrote the lyric to this song "Polly". It describes and depicts a true situation and aquaintance with one of Kurts neighbors.
