Notes
Kurt Cobain (guitar/vocals), Dave Grohl (bass), and Dale Crover (drums) originally recorded this song as "The Retards" on a spring '91 demo. While not really a side project, Cobain didn't feel the song was right for Nirvana so the trio made the demo while Cobain and Grohl passed through San Francisco on their way to record Nevermind in Los Angeles.
The original title was "Formula" ( Heavier Than Heaven, p 163).
(Thanks to DN member Monk for his input.)

Lyrics
Nevermind version
One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think, unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube, and end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
With eyes so dilated, I've became your pupil
You've taught me everything, without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful, vacuum out the fluids
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think, unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube, and end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I'm like you
1990.04.xx - Melvins Practice Space & Crover Residence demo version
One baby to another says I'm lucky to've met you
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
A travel through the tube and end up in my infection
Chew your meat for you
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
In a passionate kiss
I'm like you
One baby to another says I'm lucky to've met you
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through the tube and end up in my infection
She'll be waiting for you
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
In a passionate kiss
I like you
She'll be waiting for you
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
In a passionate kiss
I like you
We play have a fit
You keep have to admit
Sloppy lips to lips
In a passionate kiss
I'm like you
