Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box (Wishkah) [Lyrics]

Details

Description

Song: Heart-Shaped Box
1st Studio Release: In Utero (1993)
Show: Great Western Forum, Los Angeles, CA
Date: 30 December 1993

'Heart Shaped Box' is undoubtedly one of the best Nirvana songs out there and as such any version played semi-competently is going to sound great. Baring this in mind this version is rather average and can be found better executed on many 'In Utero' shows.

The show itself is very good, captured in surprisingly good quality. Well worth finding.

From the live album "From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah"

Lyrics

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drowned into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your Cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbillical noose so I can climb right back

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drowned into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your Cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice
Your advice
