DESCRIPTION:
Kurt Cobain called it "the most ridiculous pop song that I had ever written... I wanted to write more songs like that." (He also noted that he'd titled it "Sliver" just because he knew people would misspell it as "Silver.") Childhood was the theme that Nirvana's songs and graphics circled around most, and this was the song in which they tackled it head-on: lyrics that evokes the little indignities of youthful powerlessness (featuring possibly Kurt's best line ever, "I fell asleep and watched TV"), and a monomaniacal tantrum of a chorus. Written and recorded very quickly, it features Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters, who was in Nirvana for exactly one show.

Tuning: Standard

Equipment used: Fender Jag-Stang, Boss DS-1 and Fender Mustang IV amp.

Lyrics: Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, no

Grandma take me home [x7]
Wanna be alone

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good

Grandma take me home [x7]
Wanna be alone

Said, why don't you stop your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
Thats what I did, I killed my toe

Grandma take me home [x7]
Wanna be alone

After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep, and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms

Grandma take me home [x16]
Never take me home [x2]
Grandma take me home

Wanna be alone
