Polly By Nirvana (More so the explanation of the story)

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip your dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

Got some rope, you have been told
Promise you, I have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

Got some rope, you have been told
Promise you, I have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me the will of instinct

Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

Got some rope, you have been told
Promise you, I have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself


This song is about a girl from Tacoma Washington, She was only 14 and was abducted by Gerald Friend. He then raped and tortured her with razors and blowtorches as depicted in the song. This occurred in 1987. Nirvana then played shows at a few benefits for rape victims.
