License This Song 

• Bye bye, good night, see you
  Now if you wouldn't mind, I would like it blew
  And if you wouldn't care, I would like it lose
  And if you wouldn't mind, I would like to leave
  And if you wouldn't care, I would like to breathe
  
  Is there another reason for your stain?
  Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
  Here is another word that rhymes with shame
  
  And if you wouldn't mind, I would like it blew
  And if you wouldn't care, I would like it lose
  And if you wouldn't mind, I would like to leave
  And if you wouldn't care, I would like to breathe
  
  Is there another reason for your stain?
  Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
  Here is another word that rhymes with shame, ah
  
  Is there another reason for your stain?
  Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
  Here is another word that rhymes with shame, ah
  
  You could do anything
  You could do anything
  You could do anything
  You could do anything
  
  You could do anything
  You could do anything
  You could do anything
  You could do anything Writer/s: Kurt Cobain

• Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganAccording to genius.com, this song is about not living up to your full potential. And the tuning to the Bleach version is Drop C, not C standard, if there was any confusion.
• AnonymousAlthough I'm still just a kid, nirvana has to be one of the greatest bands ever. This is actually my favourite song by them and a lot of people don't actually know about it. I love it.
• Anthony from Orange Park, Flif u ever read Kurt Cobain journals he says something about how he almost lost it to a retard girl that wasnt a retard but never talked, he said"lets f--k" she went to her room and got undressed he was disgusted by how she smelled and stuff go read it then you'll figure it out o and he said in his journal he skiped school a week cause kids were making fun of him for that
• Layton from Paris, TxI love this song. This whole album makes me feel free to write more me being 14 and all. The writing is so plain and punk but Nirvana makes it amazing. It inspiring to me.
• Chase from Houston, TxIt's my belief that this song is probably about fillacio. Think about it. "If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew"? "If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose"?
• Don't Have A Mind from Pleasure TownThe reference is in discussing his stain, other than just shame.
• Sarah from Irwin, PaI'm not seeing the masturbation reference in the chorus. Unless you automatically equate masturbating with shame.
• Echo from Normalville, Maactaully dave doesn't drum on it. He does on the wishkah. but not on bleach
• Joe from Lockport, IlAnd it has more energy cuz Dave is drumming.
• Joe from Lockport, IlYea, the song is definatley higher pitched than on the studio version.
• Ed from Chodania, Flit doesn't sound like they tuned to C on the muddy banks version, this song sounds the best on the album, but the muddy banks version has more energy
• Matt from Millbrae, Cathe muddy banks of the wishkah version is much better than the studuio version, a lot more intense.
• Derp from Jackson, MsThis appeared on The Muddy Bsnks of the Wishkah CD
• Jon from Oakridge, OrThe very beginning of Nirvana is represented by this song
• Jawsh from G-vegas, Scgrand song
