COURTNEY: This is MTV Unglued...

I am the girl you know can't look you in the eye
I am the girl you know so sick i cannot try
I am the one you want, can't look you in the eye
I am the girl you know, I lie and lie and lie

I'm Miss World
Somebody kill me
Kill me pills
No one cares, my friends

I made my bed, I'll lie in it
I made my bed, I'll die in it
I made my bed, I'll lie in it
I made my bed, I'll die in it

Kill girls watch
When I eat ether
He sucked me under
Maybe forever, my friends

Now I made my bed, I'll lie in it
I made my bed, I'll die in it
I made my bed, I'll lie in it
I made my bed, I'll die in it
My friends

I am the girl you know can't look you in the eye

. . .


Put on my best Sunday dress
And I walked straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walked straight into this mess

And watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ai-ay (3 x's)

Put on my best Sunday dress
And I walked straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walked straight into this mess

And watching you burn - ai-ay
Watching you burn - ai-ay (3 x's)

Watching you burn - ai-ay (4 x's)

Put on my best Sunday dress

COURTNEY: This song's about the girl who always smelled like pee in your
class. And she was me, not Tabitha, I'll tell you that right now.

I gave you everything
I hope you give it back to me
I told you everything
I hope you'll never tell on me

The pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me mind
Your milk is so sour
Baby, I can only cry
You have all the power
Baby, I can only cry
You have all the power

I've got a blister from touching everyone I see
The abyss opened up
It took everything from me

The pee girl gets the belt
The old milk makes me mind
You milk makes me sick
Baby, your milk has a dye
Your milk has a dick
Baby, your milk has a dye
Your milk has a dick

Burn the witch
The witch, she's dead
Burn the witch
Just bring me back her head

The pee girl gets the belt
Baby, your milk makes me mind
Your milk is so mean
Baby, your milk turns to crime
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to crime
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to crime
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to crime
Your milk turns to cream

. . .


Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your life
Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your lies
Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you by the hand
Ooh yeah, he wants to shame you
Baby, I know you'd understand

Just you wait till everyone is hooked (4 x's)

Ooh, yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your life
Ooh yeah, he wants to shame you
Shame you away from your lies
Are you gonna sit and watch me
Watch me while I go down?
Are you gonna sit and watch me
Watch me while I drown?

Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your life
Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your lies
Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you by the hand
Oh God, just let him make you
Baby, I know you understand
Are you gonna sit and watch me
Watch me while I go down?
Are you gonna sit and watch me
Watch me while I drown?

Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your life
Ooh yeah, he wants to take you
Take you away from your life

I sit in the corner and I drink drown soda
I wanna bomb the whole state of Minnesota
I sit on the corner with a rattle
I wanna bomb the whole city of Seattle
I sit in a rage, I'm so annoyed
I wanna bomb the whole state of Illinois
It's been a while, we've no place to go
I wanna bomb the whole state of Ohio

COURTNEY: This is a really sick song. It's one of those Spector songs and it
was written by Carole King, which...you have to think. Go ahead.

He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me but it didn't hurt me
He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new
And when I told him I had been untrue
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me and I knew he loved me
'Cause if he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
He hit me and I was glad
Baby won't you stay...
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me and I knew I loved him
'Cause when he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is
He hit me and he made me glad
Baby won't you stay...

COURTNEY: Nice feminist anthem.

. . .


Everytime that I sell myself to you
I feel a little bit cheaper than I need to
I will tear the petals off of you
Rose red, I will make you tell the truth

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

Every time that I stare into the sun
Angel dust and my dress just comes undone
Every time that I stare into the sun
Be a model or just look like one
Wild eye rot gut do me in
Do you think you can make me do it again?

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

If you live through this with me
I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me
I swear that I will die for you

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

I... don't... care.. anymore

If you live through this with me
I swear that I will die for you
If you live through this with me
I swear that I will die for you

Live... live.. live... live... live...

. . .


COURTNEY: All right, this is a song that Kurt wrote. Last, last song
almost...um, we worked on it a little bit, we can't do it that well but it's
Valentine's Day, and maybe he can hear it, and he'll go, "You know, you
really fucked up my song, Courtney. Don't even try it." But if it works,
it's dedicated to my mother-in-law.

I would never bother you
I would never promise to
I would never bother you
I would never promise to

If I say I wouldn't care
I would move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear (4 x's)

I am walking in the piss
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so well
And I have never felt so well

Hey, yeah (3 x's)
You know you're right
You know your rights
You know you're right (2 x's)

(Whispered, unintelligible)

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 away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
I won't move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear (it)

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!

Hey, yeah (3 x's)
You know you're right (3 x's)
Maybe you're right...
Hey, yeah
You know you're right
Hey, yeah
You know your rights

Hey
Hey, yeah (2 x's)
Yeah, you know your rights

Hey
Read me your rights

COURTNEY: That wasn't a very good version...

. . .


Rest in peace and me in pieces (2 x's)

And I will await your highness
I'm so high I cannot talk
And I will awake
You cripple
You take away my time, my peace, my dignity
No babies sleep when you're near me
Your unborn love and fetal dress
Hard bitter candy, fated caress

What was she for Halloween?
The ugliest girl you've ever seen
Someday she will die alone

Someday she won't have to fake it
Living will itself seem sacred
Someday she will die alone

He seemed to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in his place
Jesus saves
Old age (3 x's)

It's okay to kill your idols
Just pretend you have no rivals
They all think that she is friendless

Spits at mirrors, it's not an issue
Just remove the hateful tissue
They all think that we were friendless

He seemed to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in my place
Jesus saves
Old age (3 x's)

And I begged him
I said pretty please
Just make me pure again
Just make me clean

What was she for Halloween?
The ugliest girl you've ever seen
Someday she will die alone

What was she for Valentine's?
And old forgotten rape of mine
Someday she will die alone

He seemed to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in his place
Jesus saves
Old age (3 x's)

Rest in peace and me in pieces
Rest in peace and me in pieces
Peace in pieces
(I'm sorry.. so sorry.. I'm sorry)
He said she said rest in peace and
He said she said rest in pieces

. . .


Down in the city, night is alive
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
You check my breathing
I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound
Lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like a wolf
Night is alive
Earth is afire
Yeah, I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound
Lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like a wolf

(Band trails off)

COURTNEY: My hot chord got lost. Chad...forget it, it's, it's over. Oh, this
is so spontaneous.

. . .


I am doll eyes
Doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms
Big veins, dog bait

Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, well, I do too

I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much it just turned to rape
I fake it so real I am beyond fake
Someday you will ache like I ache (4 x's)

I am doll eyes
Doll parts, doll life
It stands for the knife
For the rest of your life

Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, well, I do too

I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things because he loves to see me break
I fake it so real I was beyond fake
And someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache (5 x's)

. . .


COURTNEY: This is a new song, and I wrote it for um, someone who knows who
they are...What?...Oh, I got a new guitar. Someone who knows who they are,
and my friend Michael. So it's for two people, I wrote this song about two
people. Oh, and it's called either "Sugar Coma" or "I Slept With the Devil."
No, it's not called "I Slept With the Devil," it's called "Sugar Coma."

Do what you want
'Cause I'll do anything
I'll take the blame
Baby, you're dying

It's yours, it's mine
'Cause I'll do anything
I'll take the blame
Baby, you're dying

He said I'll never ever, ever go away
He said he'd always always, he would always stay
They said they'd never ever, ever go away
They said that they would always, they would always stay

And in your eyes
Thought I saw everything
I'll take the blame
Baby, you're lying

Do what you want
'Cause I tried everything
I'll take the blame
Baby I'm dying

He said I'll never ever, ever go away
He said he'd always always, he would always stay
They said they'd never ever, ever go away
They said that they would always, they would always stay

He was good tonight
He cried tonight
I was not surprised

He said I'll never ever, ever go away
He'd said he'd always always, he would always stay
He said he'd never ever, ever go away
He said he'd always always, he would always stay

Baby, you wanted to die (2 x's)
Now you decide
Help me arrive
Let him make rise
Baby, all your lies
Now you decide (4 x's)

COURTNEY: That's it, bye-bye!

COURTNEY: Happy fuckin' Valentine's Day
