Lyrics

Breed

[Verse]

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

I don't care, I don't care, care if it's old

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind

Get away, get away, get away

Get away, away, away from your home

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid

I'm afraid, 'fraid, ghost

[Chorus]

Even if you have, even if you need

I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed

We could plant a house, we could build a tree

I don't even care, we could have all three

[Post-Chorus]

She said (She said), she said (She said)

She said (She said), she said (She said)

She said (She said), she said (She said)

She said (She said), she said

[Verse]

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

I don't care, care, care if it's old

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind

Nirvana on Dork

Where to start with grunge, whether you want melody, punk energy or heavier riffs

Grunge was never one fixed sound. Start with Nirvana for melody, Green River for punk friction, Pearl Jam for grand choruses and Alice In Chains for a darker, heavier route.

How Nirvana, Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers offered three routes for heavy guitar music in 1991

Metallica made heaviness monumental, Nirvana made it volatile and Red Hot Chili Peppers put groove at its centre. Their 1991 records expanded guitar music in different directions.

Where to start with Robert Palmer, Foo Fighters and Nirvana music videos

Three rock-video entry points, from Robert Palmer’s immaculate image-making to Foo Fighters’ aviation comedy and Nirvana’s unruly gymnasium performance.

Which records and local gigs made Deaf Havana’s Tom Ogden and Lee Wilson want to play music?

Tom Ogden found an early pull towards drumming in Blink-182 and Nirvana. Lee Wilson found his at King’s Lynn gigs, through Vanilla Pod and a Less Than Jake bass line.
