Song Notes:
Cracker (some think Seed is the same song as Cracker, but personally I believe that it's Misery loves company), Final fight, Hollywood smokes, (New wave) Polly

The lyrics are based on a true story from 1987. It's about a 14 year old girl who was abducted by a man and driven around in his van. The man then tortured and raped her. The only chance she had of escaping was to pretend to come on to him and persuade him to untie her. 'That's what she did, and she got away. Can you imagine how much strength that took?'.

The first version of this classic was recorded under the title Cracker around '88 with Sad. Cracker might also be called Seed. It was dubbed as 'mellow, 4-track shit' by Kurt in an advertisement. The early version is slower than the more known "Nevermind"-version.
On "Incesticide" the song is found as (New wave) Polly - this version is a lot quicker than the original.


Song Lyrics:
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
Got some rope
You have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
I got some rope
You have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
I got some rope
You have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
