Notes
This is one of the songs that appear on the legendary Fecal Matter demo. Kurt Cobain sang vocals and played guitar. Dale Crover played drums and provided some backing vocals.
"Sounds extremely like the version on the 1987.04.17 KAOS show. Kurt seems to be ridiculing the principle of the song. On this version of 'Spank Thru' you can understand everything Kurt is saying."
The song would later make its way into Nirvana's catalog, first appearing on the Sub Pop 200 compilation.

Lyrics
1985 - Fecal Matter demo version (3:49)
(See notes.)
Transcribed from official lyric sheets available at emplive.com by Chris Lawrence, and sequenced to best reflect the vocals on the 1988.01.23 demo.
And as the soft pretentious mountains
Glisten in the light of the trees
And all the flowers sing in D minor
And the birds fly happily
We'll be together once again my love
I need you back oh baby baby
I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl, you'll only break my heart
I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it
I can spank it, I can beat and masturbate it
I've been looking for Day Glo
Always hearing the same old
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could
I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it
I can spank it, I can beat and ejaculate it
I've been looking for Day Glo
Always hearing the same old
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could
I've been looking for Day Glo
Always hearing the same old
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever
You wouldn't think it ever could
