Lake Of Fire Lyrics - Nirvana

Ok, yes Nirvana performed it and therefore they are the singers. Obviously they gave credit to the Meat Puppets at the and so... yeah.
And People at least spell Kurt's Name right...!

Actually The Meat Puppets were invited to play this song with Kurt at the Nirvana Unplugged. So he doesn't give credits at the end, he says "That was The Meat Puppets". They got along just right so there's no need to argue about being fair or not.

I don't care who wrote the song. I just want to know what the line "See them again 'til the Fourth of July" means. Looks like they just needed to put something there, and that's all they could come up with. They're supposed to come back from the dead on the 4th? It doesn't make any sense to me. Enlighten me.

To everyone who is saying "this song is by the Meat Puppets, dont give Nirvana credit", well stop complaining. This page says "Lake of Fire Lyrics, performed by Nirvana" which is 100% correct, and Nirvana gives the Meat Puppets credit at the end of the song. So stop complaining, thanks :).

God people YES The Meat Puppets made the song and YES Nirvana did a COVER of it at MTV Unpluged Live In New York in '94 WITH The Meat Puppets. So it is NOT WRONG to post Lake of Fire by Nirvana because if you searched it on youtube the Nirvana one and The Meat Puppets one, sound DIFFERENT obviously so enough of arguing about who its by

whomsoever this lyrics may belong to, NIRVANA made it popular and he has credited their name before the song so no one is losing anything .. we all want to listen to this song sung by Curt Cobain and no one else ...RIP Curt.. we will miss you :(

didn't read all of the comments nirvana did a cover song of this obviously and gave credit where credit was do to the original writers how ever the fucking nirvana song kicks ass way better then meat puppets ftw get over yourself

Yes, this song was by The Meat Puppets, but most people know it as a Nirvana song. If they googled these lyrics and saw it listed as The Meat Puppets-Lake of Fire lyrics, people would be like "What the hell? I want a song by Nirvana!"

This song is by the meat puppets. I'm sure other people have posted that this song was by the meat puppets. I understand that nirvana is popular but don't give them credit for something they didn't do. I'm not mad but thats kinda annoying posting it as nirvana lyrics.

So I was reading the reviews, and its a frequent question in my mind... If you don't like something why would you take the time to look it up and hate on it? Why not avoid it and hate on it from a distance? If you are really that big of a bitch to hate on someone, you seriously need help. And a life. Fuck you haters, and thank you for giving me one of the most nagging questions of my life.

Although Kurt was an addict it didn't define him. Many people live with deep depression and addiction and are really wonderful people. I deal with many people who were once active drug or alcohol users. most are very intelligent kind hearted people. addiction is a disease. depression is an illness. don't blame Kurt. he was very talented. rip

Everyone needs to shutup about how these arent his lyrics or how he didnt write the song if you listen to this song on their MTV Unplugged performance he says that it was the Meat Puppets just like how Man Who Sold The World is a David Bowie song

I love nirvana because agianst all of the mainstream music in the early 90s he came along and kick its ass with emotionially fueled music that then and still is relavant to our society. I laughed while reading posts that say he wrote this when meat puppets clearly did. In my experience so many people take a song or album and makes it mean what ever they want it too.

Nirvana was a breath of fresh air compaired to the hair bands with lengthy love ballets backed up by shredding guitar solos. The blending of different types of music and making it their own unique sound was in my opinion what seperated nirvana from the seatlle grunge rock scene. Kurt was a genious when it came to putting his soul in his music which to me is the art of music so ur message whatever it is is told and lives long after ur gone.

Peace out

To the last person that posted on this thread, fuck you. You're an idiot and you made this very obvious with your spelling and grammar, or lack there of. "How can you praise a drug addict?" Well, I don't know anybody "praising" Kurt but I do admire him and I really don't see what his personal choices have to do with admiring him or his art. Also, how can you claim you have bigger problems than Kurt? For one, you didn't know him or anything about his life/problems and two, nobody knows who the fuck you are(and I doubt they care) so your problems aren't magnified like his were. And to finish it off, "the music of 'NIRVANA'(not only cobain)" is an ignorant statement because Kurt wrote almost all of Nirvana's songs by himself. The most memorable of which were written alone after his break-up with his long time girlfriend, Tobi Vail.

well...in first place, i have to say this is and incredibe song....almost everyhting of nirvana is...but i dont know why most of you praise cobain that much...how can you praise a drug addict? and in top of that such a pussy one that ended killing himself (no, im famous...i hate myself)...yes he suffered depression and had his own problems like everyone does...im suffer of depression too and im sure i have bigger problems that the ones he had....well, the point of this is that don't praise cobain, the music of "NIRVANA"(not only cobain)its what really matters.
