Description

A song originally by grunge band Nirvana, from their album In Utero. Muse played "Tourette's" during their first two concerts, a Battle of the Bands competition in February 1994 and a roller disco a month later[1][uncertain].

The song consists of a repetitive guitar riff with incoherent lyrics.

Lyrics

The In Utero inner sleeve identified the lyrics as:

Cufk, Tish, Sips

This representation of the lyrics is mainly due to the fact that the song had no permanent lyrics and thus was different every time it was played live.

Tourette's is a prime example of the "Music comes first, lyrics come second," mindset that Kurt Cobain had when he was writing songs.

Despite the song having no permanent lyrics as such, Nirvana fans have been able to decipher the lyrics for the studio version of the track; they are as follows:

Moderate rock

Mayday, every day, my day Could've had a heart attack, my heart We don't know anything, my heart We all want something fair, my heart

Hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

Out of town, out of sight, is my heart Queen of lies, today, my heart One more on the phone, my heart One more at the door of my heart

Hey! Hey, hey!

Mean heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart

Hey!
