I live cement
I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I've got lament
This human form
Where I was born
I now repent

Caribou
Caribou
Caribou
Ooh
Repent
Repent

Give me white
Ground to run
Air for guns
Lets me knife
Knife me, let's
I will get
What I like

Caribou
Caribou
Caribou
Ooh
Repent
Repent

    Shouldn't that be "Cobain's void reminds me of him"?

    Kurt was a huge Pixies fan, he said that when he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit he was trying to write a Pixies song. The Pixies are so underrated - even now they are ahead of most 'alternative' bands, they pioneered grunge way before it was cool and before bands like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam turned it into an over-bloated monster. I mean, they had basically finished their recording career before Nirvana had even written Nevermind... sometimes I hate the music industry. Why can't people recognize good music? Why does so much f&*^ing s%^ get published and a band as great as the Pixies gets largely ignored?
