Sulk
You
bite through the big wall, the big wall bites back
You just sit there and sulk, sit there and bawl
You are so pretty when you're on your knees
Disinfected, eager to please
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes and we've already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change
Each time it comes it eats me alive
I try to behave but it eats me alive
So I declare a holiday
Fall asleep, Drift away
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes and we've already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes and we've already gone
Just like your dad, You'll never change |

Released: March 1995
Found on: The Bends
One of Thom's earliest creations, this song was inspired by a ruthless
and unexplained killing spree conducted by a lone gunman in Hungerford,
England, in 1987. Although its original concluding lyrics were "just
shoot your gun," these were changed when the song was recorded in
late 1994. This was because the death of Kurt Cobain was still weighing
heavily on people's minds while the Hungerford killings were not;
Thom chose to change the lyrics so that no one would think the song
was about the late NIrvana leader. "Sulk" is rarely heard live: the
band played it in concert a few times in 1994, even less often in
1995, and never again after that. |
