Nirvana - Clean Up Before She Comes Lyrics






Clean up before she comes...
Living in a dusty town...

Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

I must be getting old...
I must be getting older...
I'm starting to eat my vegetables...

Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty town...
Clean up before she comes...
Living in a dusty town

Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

I must be getting old...
I must be getting older...
I'm starting to eat my vegetables...

  1. m.... r....

    I wish I could have been as good as him at lo fi diy!

    m.... r....

    Love his words second and his sound first...but, actually his presence.

  2. E.... ....

    I'm starting to eat my visuals.


    Thought it was a line about psychedelics... til i read lyrics in the description.

  3. d.... s....

    Can you guys believe how early he was writing masterpieces??!!

  4. g.... ....

    I never heard this before. It's alright.

  5. C.... ....

    I wish this song would have been a fully mixed song on one of there albums

  6. T.... J....

    The harmony in this song is so slept on. He ate that last hook ❤️

  7. W.... L....

    Did ya clean the house today?
    Kurt: Naw baby, but I wrote a song about cleaning the house....

  8. J.... R....

    Waiting on a lady friend to come over here in a few and felt this song is appropriate. Must clean dirty ass room quickly.

  9. j.... d....

    Pj Harvey?

  10. f.... r....

    Clean up before she comes, probably double meaning. "Clean up" hmm...

  11. L.... X....

    Maybe my roommates dating life would improve if he just listened to Kurt

  12. e.... a....

    Clean Up Before She Comes


    *Here She Comes Now*

    e.... a....

    Oh god oh fuck

  13. F.... S....

    This is my favorite song.

  14. I.... T....

    Plot twist. She never came .

  15. A.... A....

    I Wonder if they recorded it in 1994, if so, I hope that can surface on day

  16. B.... y....

    What's funny is when you get older you start to eat your vegetables.

  17. N.... #....

    allen wrench was paid by courtney to kill kurt and make it look like a scuicide bc kurt was about to divorce her and she would have been nothing but the broke broken tramp that she is. Search his name right here on youtube if you actually even care... Also look up and watch "the cobain case" wrench admits it around 33:34 - 36:00 and also watch "soaked in bleach" you internet shrinks kill me bc you dont actually know anything you talk about. All you know is the shit they made up to help cover up the murder. Period. And the worst part is the bi,tch is still making millions off his name. I hope all of kurts music haunts the b,itch till she dies and faces god

  18. D.... S....

    You can hear The Beattles influence here

    D.... S....

    More Velvet Underground.

  19. l.... M....

    Gasbadaga there ver

  20. W.... ?....

    😎👌👌👌

  21. J.... A....

    Which is the tuning of this song?
    I've heard is 3/4 full step down, is that true?

  22. C.... Z....

    Is she aware of my living/financial/social/catch 22 situation?

  23. P.... G....

    I did a cover on a cassette recorder, gotta find that shit someday

  24. H.... S....

    How the hell do I keep finding nirvana songs I haven’t heard?

    H.... S....

    because you're not trying, like at all

    H.... S....

    Technically, it's a solo Kurt number, not Nirvana.

    H.... S....

    That's the point of albums like With The Lights Out :)

  25. C.... 1....

    Still listening and obsessing over Kurt and Nirvana almost 30 years later. Such a talent gone way too soon

  26. D.... C....

    I love the harmony

  27. S.... E....

    Best nirvana song ever!!!! Rock lives!!!

  28. M.... F....

    underrating moments : thinking of Krist

    P.... ....

    Neptune innit

    P.... ....

    @DefLeppard1221 he says it some point, whether a hiccup or not he says it.

  33. A.... P....

    Poor Kurt, dind't you expect what she would make you

  34. S.... L....

    Every time i hear this song i imagine a live version with drums, those distorted guitars and kurt's amazing screams

    S.... L....

    Funny you mention that: there's a still unreleased four track demo that he performed with Eric Erlandson and Pat Smear back in 1994. They recorded a few other songs together though none of them have been released.

    S.... L....

    hey, that would be awesome

  35. R.... J....

    i put this when cleaning home before the lizard comes

  36. b.... ;....

    I play this when i must clean up my room before my mom comes home

  37. c.... J....

  42. B.... ....

    B.... ....

    Baggrav Beans-montage of heck

    Baggrav Beans

    B.... ....

    @Paranormal Cucumber Im gonna beat you up BeEeEEAnzssS

    B.... ....

    @Paranormal Cucumber I don't think that was a song I think that was him just fucking around

    B.... ....

    Skate or die it has melodic direction it has lyrics therefore it’s a sonf

  43. T.... ....

    Kurt playing around in his Olympia apartment waiting for Tracy to come home from work and yell at him for not cleaning.haha

    T.... ....

    Tomnedreb is that true??

    T.... ....

    @Etward it's a historically accurate assumption at best

    T.... ....

    Haha that's exactly what I thought this song must've been about

  44. K.... W....

    That ending so random

  45. c.... J....

    Good i know and likes this

  46. t.... f....

    This evolved into Polly imo .

  47. M.... r....

    Listen with 1.25x

    M.... r....

    interesting~!

    M.... r....

    What the fuck is wrong with you people?

  48. A.... L....

    A.... L....

    Ana Lívia essa música é meu despertador mano dá pra acreditar kkkkkkk sou grunge até dormindo

    A.... L....

    @Geovane Santos Eita! Ai sim hein 👏

  49. M.... G....

    schizophrenia

    M.... G....

    thank you, and I know but that's just the way I understand the lyrics

    M.... G....

    but we can never tell what Kurt actually says

    M.... G....

    it's possible

    M.... G....

    Interpret it how you want to

    M.... G....

    Album schizophrenia band sepultura song the abyss

  50. A.... L....

    Still the state of my mind, after all this time

  51. c.... J....

    Cela y est, je me souviens!!!

  52. c.... J....

    Désolée Christophe mais je ne me souviens plus du tout de ce que vous chantiez à cette époque en 1988!!!

  53. L.... D....

    this video is very homosex

    L.... D....

    oy vey.

    L.... D....

    homophobia is over, you're late to the party

  54. M.... F....

    Easily the best song Kurt conjoured up!!!

    M.... F....

    Ridiculous comment!!!

  55. V.... W....

    First time listening to this and I love it! It's a little different from Nirvana's usual style

  56. s.... ....

    I like this, it's very - i don't know - beatles/ foxboro hottubs/ jefferson airplane esque., or something like that. Cool!

  57. K.... B....

    This song most probably will be recorded with MICHAEL STIPE of R.E.M., if kurt still alive.

  58. h.... l....

    Songs about fucking

    h.... l....

    Lol... uh yeah.

    It's no secret Kurt loved to write songs about his dick.

    That's what makes it all soo funny and sarcastic without even trying.

    But hey, you better get ready for 8th grade this year. Good luck 👍

    h.... l....

    @highfy lowfy clean up before she comes is not sexual, it's only sexual if it was clean up after she cums. Did you see what i did there? AFTER!

  59. J.... B....

    that moment when you realize vegetables might be good for you

    J.... B....

    Who doesn't eat vegetables?

    J.... B....

    5 year olds :p

    J.... B....

    Indeed, they are.

    J.... B....

    Also they can be really tasty, e.g. if you use them in a curry, stir fry, etc., instead of just boiling them.

    J.... B....

    @S Nomad you can't stop talking about courtney, don't you? You love her <3

  60. W.... C....

    This is amazing 😌 Is that Dave in the backround singing ?

    W.... C....

    nope, all kurt

    W.... C....

    This is 2 or 3 years before Dave

  61. J.... A....

    Is this song in Eb tune?

  62. A.... ....

    this has no lyrics

    A.... ....

    it does

    A.... ....

    the lyrics are in the description

  63. S.... ....

    Leave it to Kurt to write a song about cleaning up the house, instead of actually cleaning the house

    S.... ....

    He wouldt wash the dishes cause he didt want to lose the calasest on his fingers

    S.... ....

    @AnarchyBurger He did watch tv a lot but he also wrote songs when she was gone

    S.... ....

    Saint Petru I’ll just hop on the band wagon with how about you all go fuck yourselves

    Fuck chores, stay home, smoke pot

    S.... ....

    @Medusa rock on bitch

    S.... ....

    He wouldt wash the dishes cause he didt wanna lose the calis he had built up on his fingers frm playin guitar

  64. �.... �....

    The break from the verse to chorus ( Summer in her eyes/Somehing in her eyes - 0:38) is so good.
    Everything he does is awesome, it's incredible.

    �.... �....

    shut up

    �.... �....

    Peter ohne Nachname no u

    �.... �....

    Сто відсотково згодний!

  65. K.... ....

    prefer the demo personally

  66. R.... P....

    I love your channel, man.

  67. v.... ....

    classic rare nirvana-song, had this on my computer 1998 or something.
    title says "lyrics" but cant see them

    v.... ....

    +viipottajaville description

  68. L.... S....

    Sounds like a lighter version of Alice In Chains with the way they harmonize

    L.... S....

    Yes. But Kurt made this song the same year Alice in chains began, so he didn't know so much about this great band...

    L.... S....

    And Kurt made this song by himself. All the vocal parts are him

    L.... S....

    You mean Alice In Chains sounds like them.

    L.... S....

    Their song Papercuts sounds ALOT like Alice In Chains. The first time I heard the chorus I thought it was NOT NIRVANA. (But it was. P.S. I miss Kurt)

  69. B.... I....

    To perform this live Kurt, Dave, & Krist would all have to do vocals

    B.... I....

    Buttercup III lol this would be before dave

    B.... I....

    I dunno if the mic lead would have reached Dave........

    B.... I....

    Michaels Covers pat sucks.

    B.... I....

    Also Kurt would have to be alive, sooo

    B.... I....

    @S Nomad that's actually false, pat is pretty good, probably better than you if you even play guitar

  70. S.... R....

    Quite possibly the best Nirvana song I ever heard

    S.... R....

    check out smells like teen spirit...heard it's great

    S.... R....

    +Andrew Delaney wtf?

    S.... R....

    I think I agree.

    S.... R....

    Quite a nice pic you have there.

  71. s.... ....

    can someone help me figure this out. is Kurt only using two under dubs for his voice or three

    s.... ....

    3 vocals and an acoustic

    s.... ....

    I think it's an electric guitar

    s.... ....

    its an electric BITCH

    s.... ....

    Three chords and the truth.

  72. w.... ....

    "I must be getting old, I'm starting to eat my vegetables" haha, nirvana's songs were all so similar but all so different, always amazed at what they put out

  73. m.... ....

    How did he double track his voice like that on a tape recorder? Or did he record that in the studio?

    m.... ....

    An 8 track. I did a 20 page essay on them. I have an 8 track also with a bunch of shit I did when I was a teen

    m.... ....

    @Austin Franklin You should post it on youtube for us to hear haha dude this is weird I was just clunking around youtube comments and you left yours a day ago and I didn't even get any notifications

    m.... ....

    @marksusername if me and my brother can figure it out and how to get to songs off the 8 track to YouTube then I will and I'll let you know. Some sounds pretty fucking nice actually. Reminds me of Nirvana and Alice in chains mixed

    m.... ....

    @Austin Franklin look it up. I'd like to hear it too.

    m.... ....

    @Riley DeMoisey I'll send you guys a message here if I get it.

  74. S.... u....

    this is the best material they had

  75. C.... J....

    Another underrated Nirvana song.

    C.... J....

    Your Right! to many songs on With the Lights Out are underrated! :( i make cover of all of them! LOVE NIRVANA!

    C.... J....

    @Krist Novoselic - Fan Dude, the With The Lights Out stuff is no fucking joke. Serious music that deserved some high production treatment, but for some reason is so much better as it is, raw, and aggressive.

    C.... J....

    Another overrated comment.

    C.... J....

    i dont think it had enough exposure to be underrated or overrated.

  76. d.... ....

    I've got the box set but I don't recognize this at all. Slipped by me somehow...

    d.... ....

    +drewper73 and distortion

    d.... ....

    @wwfwrestlingfan4ever And distortion, yes!

    d.... ....

    Mandela effect.

    d.... ....

    But it works well like this by itself, even though they'd probably make a great electric version of this, like with New Wave Polly or the electric version of Something In The Way

    d.... ....

    True Nirvana fan would have sat and listened to entire album for 2 weeks straight... just saying

  77. T.... G....

    Its on the 'With the lights out' boxset.. :)

  78. J.... F....

    I'm stunned... A Nirvana song that I haven't heard before. I used to have about a million rare CDs with 'unreleased' tracks but I never came across this one.

  79. M.... U....

    Smoke that shit again, then replay it again.

  80. p.... D....

    this possibly is the best trippiest song there ever was.....and by far my favorite song

  81. 2.... ....

    This song is awesome.
