Nirvana - polly lyrics

[TriangleASkaters]

Rip Kurt, man the world really needs you back your the best ever we need you to help fix todays shiity music and your awesome ;'(

[rockinroller25]

I thought this song was about a serial killer who would kidnap women

[EmpressHeights]

huh? i always thought this song was about his drug addiction... polly wants a cracker is like a metaphor for him wanting a hit, like 'he's polly wanting a cracker" meaning he wants a hit. didn't he used to talk about his back pains and only drugs could ease the pain. he wants help etc.. etc.. or maybe i was thinking too much into what he was singing about?

[RodrigoLaLigaGYT]

yeah carzy!!!!!

[maverick14012]

eeewww baby penise >.<

[TheMJfan2010]

@maverick14012 Um... you misspelled penis.

[creature609]

a Serial Killer in Seattle

[creature609]

i think is about a serial Killer

[ozzyfreak994]

i literally have to have listened to this song 3,000 time today. the repeat button has gotten anally violated.

[BLACKSTAR00212]

Now the million dollar question is... what the hell is polly?

[rosa1221]

@BLACKSTAR00212 polly is most likely a name :)

[TheNikman2010]

@BLACKSTAR00212 Polly is the name of the girl that got raped and tortured by a blowtorch by some crazy psycho

[GOORVY]

"Polly was a crack girl.."

[Usfencer4life]

@GOORVY no she wasn't she was a 14 yr. old rape victim.

[GOORVY]

@Usfencer4life I know that, but it rimes xDD

[farrarjr3]

Every time I turn on the radio, I hear shit. I hate todays music, and I especially hate rap. The music industry died when Kurt died. The first time I heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit", in 10th grade, even as young as I was, I knew it was special. Damn...I just wish he could of gotten help. I miss Nirvana so much. I feel like crying right now, music is my life.

[mobswider]

Its'nt nirvana ~_~

[pedroassuncao67]

@mobswider it is --' 

[applelemonhead3345]

@mobswider of course it is, you retard

[Rowan07001484]

this is shit. not the song. just this version.

[PeaceHippiesLove]

Heartfelt. He always amazes me.

[mrBlood621]

Does no one fuckin no what this songs about he wrote it because i girl named polly was kept and raped for days thats horrible

[llovescake15]

@mrBlood621 I thought her name was molly and polly a bird xD

[ibkg1123]

about polly klaas, who was abducted, tied up, raped, and killed

[madhoun94]

@ibkg1123 no... she wasn't killed... i believe u shld c nirvana interview more, she was abducted , tied up , raped and TORTURE and manage to escape, this news strongly inspire kurt to mke polly... she was NEVER killed, dnt say stuff ur not sure abt :P anyway ENJOY THE FUCKING SONG PPL!

[ShadowStar32]

@madhoun94 actually she was killed. I researched it because I just love nirvana and stuff. She was abducted october 1st, 1993, and her body wasnt found until December 3rd, 1993 and her memorial service was on December 9th, 1993. Dont believe me? Message me and Ill give you the site I found that info on.

[Ballsifyification]

@ShadowStar32 Uhmm actually you are fucking wrong. She was abducted at a punk rock show in 1983. She was raped and tortured by a blow torch. That's what he's singing about. You fucking idiot. That came off the documentary so try to correct me you incompetent moron.

[rosa1221]

@ShadowStar32 it isn't about polly klaas :)

[luisakatsuki1]

goood song.. i like 

[jordidwdw]

just heroin ! you go try the shit then

[9306chris]

I have just one thing to say. im not going to yell but, if you listened to the song "In bloom" Kurt's singing about how people know the lyrics to songs but they don't know what it means. this song was about a girl who hitched a ride. It turns out he was a rapist and he raped her, didnt feed her or give her water. Polly flirts with the man 2 months later she says shes thirsty. he lets her get some water from inside thank god she got to call the cops. But really people know the meanings of songs.

[ibkg1123]

@9306chris its about a girl named polly klaas who was raped tied up and killed

[9306chris]

@ibkg1123 OH! sorry :)

[RunescapeZerkers]

nice picture

[KingJLace]

Him and Jim Morrison are my favorite male voices in music, i think.. You can really hear the pain when Cobain sings.. its amazing :)

[vuzganje]

@KingJLace it's just heroin

[N3verShoutAlways]

It doesn't say "don't cut yourself" It says "Cut yourself"

[itsraininglool]

random baby penis? no thanks

[AIKevorkian]

Polly said.

[deandro985]

i love this song, and had so many thoughts doing everything said in this song, theres so much passion in killing someone, u sing a gun is boring and wayy to quick

[AlmostAwkward211]

I really don't understand why Atheist call people who say something about God stupid. Just because you might not believe doesn't mean that I have to not believe. Just because I believe in God doesn't mean I'm gonna make you believe too. I mean come on, and I know some Christians are sort of pushy or mean but don't let them formulate your judgment on all Christians. We're not all that bad really.

[TechnoEclipse]

@AlmostAwkward211 Not all Atheist people are judgemental like your saying. Im Atheist and I respect all religons cause i would want someone to respect my being an Atheist. Don't put us all in this box where your saying we judge Christians or any other type of religon cause in all actuality there are Atheists who are cool with all religons and some that arn't cool with other religons.

[AlmostAwkward211]

@TechnoEclipse You're right, In fact it sort of goes both ways. Some Atheist sort of put Christians in a box just as some Christians do the same. I didn't mean to offend anyone if I did. I also didn't mean to place anyone in any sort of Judgmental Category. I apologize.

[emscollins19]

A simple song played on an old guitar. It's so beautiful! His voice makes me sad. RIP Kurt Cobain

[Relaxions]

@emscollins19

That's bad cause you have to enjoy the music not be sad?

[NicoleUrban000]

Happy Birthday Kurt ♥ :)

[StopTheSorrows]

This song is based off an actual rape that happened in my home state of Washington... This song... Just listening to it... Makes me feel ill... I couldn't even listen to this in class without getting pissed for no reason.

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@StopTheSorrows yeah I read about the real rape, it was disgusting.

[ja5t1]

lol stfu stupid god boys jesus

[irockwithbass]

@ja5t1 You know, I normally don't respond to stupid comments, but I felt the need to stand up. Some people like believing in a God. It gives them a sense of right and wrong and at the end of the day gives them hope and a feeling of protection. Is that so bad that you have to call them out and call them stupid?

You know, I can't recall very many people that belive in a god if any at all calling athiest stupid. It goes both ways buddy. Grow up and stop putting people down for what they believe.

[ja5t1]

@irockwithbass shaddup hoe

[irockwithbass]

@ja5t1 Be glad to, just hoping you will understand that just because someone has a thought, doesn't mean you have to put it down because you don't agreee with it.

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@irockwithbass nope, it's ALWAYS christians calling me stupid.

I don't believe in your bullshit and I don't bug you unless you bug me with your stupid bullshit first.

What does god have to do with a song about a rape anyways?

[JrosiOnline]

what the...

why is everyone talking about god o_O

I BELIEVE IN FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERS YOU KNOW

[whoskateswins]

@JrosiOnline it is an awesome religion isnt it? :L

[mikeFUCKINealer]

@JrosiOnline WIN !

[greenking25]

@JrosiOnline LOL. i saw that in wikipedia

[littleXsvede]

gosh this song is almost freaky.....it like,makes my body cold everytime i hear it....to me its kind of obvious its about rape...."i think i should get off her first" bleeesh! freaky deaky! song gives me chills

[kelyisvicious1]

who is this god yew speak of haha

[Thistledowne27]

My name's Polly :)

[frezzyfree101]

@vikkipatton was it at one of his concerts?? like one of kurts???, thad be madd depressingg

[RamboW4NN463]

Kurt is soo good at writing lyrics, if he were ever to rap he would shut down today's faggot rappers !!

[MissSuperPyscho]

@RamboW4NN463

Yes,But rap sucks,so thank god he didnt. 

[RamboW4NN463]

@MissSuperPyscho heyy!! i like rap.

[lyssiebubbless]

@itsmarshmallowz Yeah, me either.

After seeing most of my emails came from youtube I came back though....I like seeing people comment back xD

[lyssiebubbless]

@itsmarshmallowz You were talking about both things, I just ignored the part where you obviously didn't understand I was replying to someone else when I said 'Paramore'.

[rhc904]

she was tortured with a blow torch just awful

[SpiritzzMagicalxx]

@itsmarshmallowz

what's wrong with a girl singing rock ? :/

[froshizzle101]

@SpiritzzMagicalxx there nothing wrong wit it. bands like evanescence have a amy lee as a singer and there amazing. nirvana is probally one of my all time favs tho.

[lyssiebubbless]

@itsmarshmallowz Someone else did and I commented on it.

No, Kurt, whilst writing most of his songs, just put a bunch of thoughts onto paper that didn't really coincide with each other. In others, the ones where he DOESN'T write about himself, he puts great emotion and actual lyrics. If you knew anything about Nirvana you'd know their whole first album's lyrics were written on the spot while going to the studio to record them.

[MrCiggles]

live version much better (Y)

[MissSuperPyscho]

Sad thing is,this song is about a 14 year old girl who was kidnapped,cut up,and raped and escaped by flirting with one of the guys

[lyssiebubbless]

@MissSuperPyscho Actually, the fact she escaped was a miracle.

Too bad people think it's about an actual girl named Polly. The girl's name was something else, I just can't remember it at the moment.

[MissSuperPyscho]

@lyssiebubbless Anyone escaping that kinda thing would be a miracle. I'm not sure how a 15 year old got in that situation without anyone knowing. Was she alone? Who goes to a concert alone? I'm 15 years old and Personally,id go with family or friends.

[lyssiebubbless]

@MissSuperPyscho That's the truth right there. Well, she was at a punk rock concert (I'm pretty sure. Correct me if I'm wrong) and punk rockers tend to be rebels so I guess she thought she was tough enough to go it alone.

[MissSuperPyscho]

@lyssiebubbless Im more of a grunge rocker chick. But I woildnt even do that alone.

[RockstarAli92810]

@MissSuperPyscho I go to concerts alone all the time. All my friends like rap and pop; and I'm an only child so I can't go with a brother or sister. I went to an Avenged Sevenfold concert alone when I was 15.

[scRaTcHvsWU]

@MissSuperPyscho well from what I read the girl ran away from home and it is very probable that when the rapist picked her up, she was offering herself for prostitution

[MissSuperPyscho]

@scRaTcHvsWU Very very wrong.

[pipiczka]

masterpiece ...

[jareddarity]

break out your spoons

[yiauhnna]

@lyssiebubbless oh its ok i mean everyones entitled to their own opinion

[lyssiebubbless]

@yiauhnna I'm glad you didn't freak out like a bunch of other Paramore fans normally do. xD

What are your favorite songs by them?

[yiauhnna]

wow! i never thought i would like this type of music,i am a black girl who listens to r&b and rap..but my exx got me startd in listenin to this type of music..when we broke up besides the material things this music is all i had to remind me of her and I LOVE IT! NIRVANA,PARAMORE,PANC AT THE DISCO.AND MUCH MORE!

[lyssiebubbless]

@yiauhnna Honestly--and not trying to start a fight here--Paramore isn't that great a band.

[albinocify]

@yiauhnna nirvana was actually inspired by rap & hip-hop music too, in fact many types of genres :D i personally love all music really. rock rap pop R&B hip-hop metal etc. =)

[lyssiebubbless]

@albinocify Yeah, and rap and hip hop is based off of rock and roll and jazz music.

Music builds on itself. That's the magic xD

[albinocify]

@lyssiebubbless so it seems ;D *wink* lolz

[XxBFMV4EVERxX]

This is an amazing song .....but sad. :/

[niepamietamjuz]

HELLO EVERYONE

The metal militia will be attacking Justin Bieber's video (justin bieber baby ft. ludacris) on the FOURTH OF JULY! Assemble all fans of good music in every genre! (Jazz, Metal, Classical, Classic Rock etc.) On said date leave a comment giving your thoughts on JB, close the comment with -MM. Copy and paste this comment to all the good band videos! (Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, led zeppelin, linkin park, classical composers, jazz composers etc.) Thumbs up this comment

[lyssiebubbless]

@niepamietamjuz What about pop music?

Oh, there's not good pop songs? Oh, okay then.

[DEATHBYSOCIALIST]

@lyssiebubbless ha fuck that stupid MM crap, ALL they do is comment with those stupid copy and paste comments, the funny thing is they say they like jazz and whatever but u don`t ever see the comments on jazz videos, thats cause they don`t listen to jazz they just want to sound smart, and the fact is there is no such thing as real music or the right music its whatever u consider it to be, of course i will admit there is just plan corporate garbage.

[lyssiebubbless]

@DEATHBYSOCIALIST YES! They're like "You say Lady Gaga, I say Aerosmith, You say Justin Bieber, I say AC/DC" yeah...and I say JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I know, I'm always going to all those obscure bands everyone says they just love and there's only two comments. If everyone likes jazz and classical music so much, why don't we see comments or likes? Exactly, I hate it when people comments and say, "Now this is REAL music!" Ugh....Lady Gaga is a great singer.

Corporate garbage is just...vomitous

[lyssiebubbless]

@niepamietamjuz fuck you

[Deathlock257]

this songs about teh rape of a 14 year old girl in 1987. they played it for the rock against rape concert in 1993

[Mrsteddyz]

I think Jennifer's body by hole is about a true story, I bought this book at a retired steelworkers thrift shop, and it's about this dude who kidnapped this girl and kept her in a box under the bed as a sex slave with his wife, I think it was the 70's and she was hitchhiking. He kept her for years in that box, and she escaped. He hung her from trees and stretched her on a torture device. Worst nightmare!

[StrangeFruit127]

@Mrsteddyz What book was that? 

[Mrsteddyz]

@StrangeFruit127 found it, The woman's name was Coleen Stan, look it up, it was in Red Bluff California

[StrangeFruit127]

@Mrsteddyz Wow sorry this took so long for me to reply to, but thank you!

[jtwin2420]

rapists and child molesters will have to face god with what they did

[BeUnbroken]

@jtwin2420 everybody will.

[glifinn]

@BeUnbroken Sweet answer.

[pbjgoog123]

@jtwin2420

well if you believe in that kind of stuff

[Macnavor]

@jtwin2420 satan will take good care of them..........Imagine them being raped in hell

[theawesomehuntsman]

@jtwin2420 They have to answer god, but they belong to Satan in the end.

[deathfromsniper]

@jtwin2420 well i hope rapists and child molesters never see the light of heaven but only the darkness of hell

[pauleamon]

@jtwin2420 if god exists then why do these things happen in the first place?

[TheSicknessIsTheCure]

@pauleamon Because God judges you AFTER you die. While you're living he doesnt give a fuck what happens to you. In fact, it may amuse him. This might not be the usual view of God but i see it as the only way he could exist.

[OddlyOcean]

@pauleamon Because God gave us free will on this life.

[czechdog2]

@jtwin2420 and murders but those that you mensioned especialy

[CecilDark]

@jtwin2420 I hope they don't even get that far...

[chipmo3]

@jtwin2420 unless theres no god then thay die and go into the ground

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@jtwin2420 too bad god doesn't exist. so that's an empty promise. However if those same rapists run into me they will have to face me.....

[skattman7]

I would love to be raped.

[YOUAlREADYkNOW1212]

Its actually about a girl that got kidnapped and the guy tortured her by using a blow torch. idk if she got away, but thats what kurt said the song was about.

[KChapman333]

Lol I never really listened to the lyrics before. I wonder why they would write a song about rape?

[BeUnbroken]

@KChapman333 Well who else does? They're Nirvana.

[eriveltoferreira]

[TheXpillzx]

TUNE r.i.p kert

[picklesnorf101]

Kurt was great. I miss him.

[picklesnorf101]

It's songs like these when you can really tell Kurt was doing heroine. Just by the way he sings sometimes.

[calvin821]

[Rhapsodyss]

Amazing song, and amazing band. :D I covered this song, it's on my channel. ^^

[aerzteslimeundwizo]

in the only authorised biography(?) from kurt cobain, there is written that this song belongs to the story of a girl who was raped with a blow torch and razors on a stop at the highway

[SmerCrew4994Pt]

i heard about this,i heard she got kidnapped or something at one of Nirvana's concerts,and they made a song about it,i didnt hear about a highway or blowtorch or razors,but you could be right

[nc490codyshuman]

it was not a nirvana concert

[EXT3RMiNATEHUMANiTY]

Raped with a blowtorch? Damn that sounds hot.

[IAMELEMENT999]

@EXT3RMiNATEHUMANiTY your fucking sick

[glifinn]

@EXT3RMiNATEHUMANiTY Over 2000C... very hot ;P

[albina7930]

супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! каждый день бы слушала и слушала.................

[pbrskater26]

I was pretty young listing to this song, I had no clue what this song ment, now damn thats pretty fucking deep!

[juego3000]

@pbrskater26

what's the meaning of this song?

[Danny5Kellett]

yeh its about a rape victim and they tortured her with razors and she escaped by flirting with the 1 of the rapists. if u look at the lyrics kurt refers 2 sum of the stuff that happened

[SherwoodMusic]

@Danny5Kellett the burned her alive why do you think it says " i think she wants some water , to put out the blow torch" if you dont think im telling the truth go read Heavier Than Heaven biography on Kurt Cobain

[Danny5Kellett]

@SherwoodMusic err iv read it and i already knew, and they tortured her with a blowtorch. Btw dont belive everything u read in Heavier than Heaven :)

[BaldwinForBrits]

This song is wrote about the views of the rapist. Its what the guy raping the girl is thinking. not what the girl is thinking. Kurt looked at a bad situation in a different way to everyone else in the world.. Brilliant x

[dragonreborn7]

well not entirely original, people have done songs from a rapist's perspective for a while, a good song, but "everyone else in the world" is a bit of an over generalization

[BaldwinForBrits]

Im Sorry.. But Name one person you can think of right now honestly.. That had the Ideas and thoughts ( Most of which no one will ever know about ) Of Kurt Cobain. The man is a legend. Tbh He should Have been President haha. No. Maybe not actally.. No okay probly not ..

[lalocokv7]

karen

[BaldwinForBrits]

Who ? Lol..
