How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Kurt Cobain’s journals were released in 2002 by Riverhead Books. It contained notes, letters, shopping lists, drawings and other miscellanea by Nirvana’s frontman.

One of the most interesting pages in the Journals is this list, titled “TOP 50 by NIRVANA”, so we can infer this was a collaboration by Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic. It is not dated, but probably was scribbled around 1993.
