Alex Ayers - 1994 Lyrics

And like I said
I'm far too shy

Before magnets
Lift the lint away
And before I use
A two-finger

The blank loop loops in my mind

And I'm bad

My reasons are a blank mess

Just like my hero Kurt Cobain

1994
Was over thirty years ago today

Just like my hero Kurt Cobain

Like my hero Kurt Cobain
Like my hero Kurt Cobain

Every day I try to forget the
