1994 - Studio version (interpretation)

I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you

Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I won't move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain - 3x
You know you're right - 3x

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
There's talk about someone else
Sterling silver begins to melt

Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I won't move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain - 5x
You know you're right - 17x

There is a faded vocal track towards the
end of the song where Kurt screams "Pain"
four times under the repeated
"You know you're right" outro vocals



1993.10.23 - Chicago, IL (interpretation 1, by DN member bambi)

I don't need to come again
I don't sigh or mope again
I don't need to love again
Somewhere I don't know
I don't really love her
I don't bare (bear?) to love her
Ain't gonna take to love again
somewhere I love it
Someway I like again
Kurt Cobain not again
Come on, come on, dancer
I don't bare to love again

You turned our monuments
I don't bare (bear?) to follow you
I don't ever promise you
since there died a lot of you
Look at how ?? it is
look away (and mope again?)
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain
You know you're

You don't really follow him
Teach him that I like him
I will never promise you
I won't even bother to
I don't need this kiss
I don't think I want it now
I don't need to mope again
There's somewhere I don't like (that's something that I don't have)
Kiss him where I love him
kiss somewhere out of town (kiss him, well, I don't care)
Come on with your must have (moustache?)
I don't think I want
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain
You know you're.



1993.10.23 - Chicago, IL (interpretation 2)

I don't need to love again
I won't sigh and mope again
I just don't need to love again
I just don't think it's worth it
I don't really love her
I don't think I want her
Ain't gonna take to love again
It's the way your love hurts
It's the way you're mad again
I don't think I'll love again
I won't ever promise her
I don't think I want her

This time no one else
I don't bear to follow you
I don't ever promise you
Sometimes I don't love you
Think I'm tired of loving her
I don't really want love

Pain (x5)
You know you're right

You told me to follow him
Teach him that I loved him
I won't ever promise you
I won't even bother to
You gave me my first kiss
I don't think I want it now
I don't ever want again
It's all that I had to have
It's all that I wanted
It's all that I had to
I don't think I'll miss her
I don't think I want her

Pain (x5)
You know you're right



From Hole's Unplugged

I would never bother you
I would never promise to
I would never bother you
I would never promise to
If I say that word again
I would move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
You won't be afraid of fear
You won't be afraid of fear
I am walking in the piss
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
And I have never felt so well
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right

Whistle and I'll come inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
She just wants to love herself
She moves away from here
She just wants to love herself
I won't move from here
You won't be afraid of fear
I won't move from here
You won't be afraid of fear
I am walking in the piss
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
And I have never been so well
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
Maybe you're right...
