Nirvana : Incesticide - 12/12/92
This review appeared in the 12th December 1992 issue of NME

Nirvana - Aero Zeppelin Lyrics
What's a season in a right if you can't have anything?

Why does she need him for a father?
Not only maidens can occupy my shack
Gluing my manhood towards a manhole

Round, round, round about

As long as she stays with me
She said she'd take me anywhere, she'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me

And you turn around
Take a look at who you are

Well, he never reads and he never draws
And he never sleeps 'cause he's got bad luck, yeah

Over do it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and do the twist
