He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
He's scared in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
He's scared cause I want
He's scared in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

*All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures, all in a row
Of a marigold...*
I think this part could about how the clock is slow. That the time it's taking her to decide who she wants is not turning fast enough for him, and that constantly he is tired of facing off with the dominant guy and wants him to go. That these six pictures might represent every memory he remembers about her and this guy.
The way dave used the Marigold tyes into the song and what this character he creates faces, because in Flower terminology a Marigold represents Grief, desperation, jealousy, and passion. So to relate the marigold to this woman shows his portrayal of the dominant man versus the weakling. The weak feels jealous, and worn out for an attempt to woo this woman, and he wants her. The dominant male feels the thought of desperation of losing her.
I read somewhere (I think Heavier Than Heaven..or maybe the Greatest Hits booklet, not sure) that in 94' Nirvana reserved 3 days studio time to cut a new record but Kurt didn't show up for the first 2 days so Dave and Krist just recorded a couple of songs Dave wrote. Including Marigold and a number of songs witch would appear on the first Foo Fighters album...Then on the 3rd day (Nirvana's last studio sesh ever)Kurt showed up and they recorded You Know You'r Right.
haha
*** He's there in case I wandered off ***
d weak guy after being threatend,though has stopped directly coming in dis guy's way, but he's still not completly gone.. he still can't let go of his feelings for the girl... and is sticking around, hoping dat just in case dis bully goes away (get's fucked up/ or finds some other chick/or whatever), he'll get his opportunity...
*** He's scared because I warned ***
this has already been explained... in d prev comment o mine..
*** He's scared in case I want it all ***
also this weak guy's not sure, if d other guy is actually completly into her (like love) and wants to go all in..... or just havin some temporary fun, till he finds his next chick to screw around...
*** He's scared 'cause I want ***
however, though d weak guy's not sure how serious d other guy is... he still is scared...
scared that wheter he'll ever get his chance...
scared wheter it would be safe for dis girl to be arnd dis kinda guy...
hence, scared jst coz d aggresive guy want's this girl... no matter how much or how less...
*** All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold ***
what dez lines mean, is a complete mystry to me...
i think based on my reasoning(mentioned above), so far d entire song fits very well.... but then dat's just half o d complete story.... unless we get d complete pic, it all remains probabilistic... :(

actually kurt has said a lot of times bout being bullied, early in his life... so this is a common n persistant theme.. in many of his songs...being bullied by someppl, effect of paren't divorce, his turning misantrhope.... not liking ppl in general, then feeling his album's sold out... and all those who once were bullyin him, are now njoyin his music.. he's therefore not intrested in going on wid it... also some moronic fuckers raped some chick listening to polly n dat made him feel all d more worse... he also didn't quite njoy d audience in a genuine way... fetl guily for dat....etc etc...
so from dis kind of perspective, i think d above intrepretation would make atleast some sense...
but d second para's bit difficult to fig out....
any one knows what does MARIGOLD signify here? plz fellas, put ur brain to useful thinking, and try to come up wid what does MARIGOLD signify... and if u have more info, read somewhere, or anything related.. plz share.... and i sincerly request you all dat utilize more space here for actual interpretation first... dat would be in greater common good....
cheers, n peace --<
