These raw and wry lyrics are from Stay Away by Nirvana, from their stellar 1991 album Nevermind.

I reckon Cobain’s lyrics have aged just as well as the band’s music, and I love listening to them just as much as I did back then – maybe even more.

Who knows what dark musical magic this genre-defining group might have concocted had Kurt lived on.

Then again, plenty of musicians have made shitty records well past their sell-by date. Maybe it really is better to burn out than to fade away… 🤔 🎸🤘

Stay Away

Monkey see, monkey do Rather be dead than cool Every line ends in rhyme Less is more, love is blind Give an inch, take a smile Fashion shits, fashion style Blow it out, keep it in Have to have poison skin
