Nirvana - Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle (Guitar Cover)

Details

Description

Full of jabs at Vanity Fair writer Lynn Hirschberg, who wrote a negative story about Courtney Love, this In Utero song also paid tribute to Seattle-born actress Frances Farmer, who was committed to an insane asylum against her will. "I guess that's my way of letting the world know that bureaucracy is everywhere and it can happen to anybody and it's a really evil thing," Cobain said. "The story of Frances Farmer is so sad and it can happen to anybody and it almost felt at a time that it was happening to us." But before Cobain had lyrics for it, it was an instrumental the trio jammed on in Dave Grohl's basement sometime before In Utero. "When I heard 'Frances Farmer,' I thought, 'Oh, my God, there's going to be another record,'" Grohl has said. Full of anger and pathos ("I miss the comfort in being sad," goes the chorus), the final song is one of In Utero's most primal -- right down to the toy piano Cobain played in the bridge

Tuning: Detune a semitone down.

Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar, SansAmp Classic and Fender Mustang IV amp

Lyrics: It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To hear that you're asking whenever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad(x2)
I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
My favorite patient, a display of patience,
Disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, And burn all the liars,
leave a blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad(x2)
I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To know that you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad(x2)
I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....
