Ivy League (Nirvana Cover)

Permanent Tourist

This rare song was played twice live by the band in 1993, and a short instrumental demo version was also recorded at their last recording session at Robert Lang studios in February 1994.

Most of the lyrics for this cover are from the performance on 11-12-93, with the rest from the 12-29-93 show.

This song is also known as “Me and My I.V.” “End Jam” “Jam W/ Kurt” and “Jam after dinner”.

LYRICS:

Didn’t have to find it
Stuck it on a cross
Didn’t have to guide it
Didn’t have to floss
Didn’t have to sign it
Never have a grave
Don’t have to decline it
Rather
take her
home

Don’t know how to describe it
Sickening is the thought
Never have to deny it
running on applause
Never have to find it
running on the road
Get them to prescribe it
Keep it
take it
home

Never have to sign it
Never have to roam
Never have to find it
Always know where to go
Never have to hide it
I never had a son
Now that I have found it
keep it
take it
home
