Polly (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Polly wants a cracker
She'd like me to get off her first
Maybe she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip, dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself

Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself

[Verse 2]
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
Asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip, dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
(Verse 3)
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me, the will of instinct

(Chorus)
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip, dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

In this version of polly, Kurt, Krist, and Chad all playing together, Unlike the studio version, the drums are much more prominent, they are played throughout the song, outside of the crashes being hit during the chorus. Kurt plays on electric guitar and has that quick quiet to loud dynamic that “Nevermind” is known for.
