i always thought it said "i'll kill him if he hits me again".
my god...why can't anyone put lyrics on the cd jackets?
also...i don't ever hear a "ing" during the "better you, better me".
and then i always thought it said "my bitter half has bitten me".
which seems like courtney-ish lyrics, as opposed to "better"...rather predictable, don't ya think?
courtney love is not a woman i idolize...but her lyrics are always very interesting.
as for "jennifer finch" both kurt and courtney liked bringing the names of other people into their lives.
haha, that sounded weird.
"frances" is named after frances farmer...but some oppose that with frances from the vaselines.
who knows...maybe both.
"polly" is about an actual incident.
"hungry but i'm starving" is one of those things that seems like the constant maternal referral throughout the entire record.
"keeps you in a box by the bed"...hm...heroin? addiction?
because quite literally...kurt cobain kept his heroin kit in a box.
and i don't know..."cuts you down from the tree" seems like a possession reference...a new addition....pet....baby perhaps?
@CloudOnMyTongue Jenny is slang for heroin. Yes that could be speaking about paraphernalia. But it also sounds like it’s straight up about a dead girl named Jennifer.
Almost like Jennifer was sacrificed or killed by her and her partner.
I like your answer
