Lyrics
The In Utero inner sleeve identified the lyrics as:
Cufk, Tish, Sips
This representation of the lyrics is mainly due to the fact that the song had no permanent lyrics and thus was different every time it was played live.
Tourette's is a prime example of the "Music comes first, lyrics come second," mindset that Kurt Cobain had when he was writing songs.
Despite the song having no permanent lyrics as such, Nirvana fans have been able to decipher the lyrics for the studio version of the track; they are as follows:
Moderate rock
Mayday, every day, my day Could've had a heart attack, my heart We don't know anything, my heart We all want something fair, my heart
Hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Out of town, out of sight, is my heart Queen of lies, today, my heart One more on the phone, my heart One more at the door of my heart
Hey! Hey, hey!
Mean heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart
Hey!
