About Scentless Apprentice

"Scentless Apprentice" most likely dates back to late 1992, and is rare among Nirvana songs in that all three members - singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain, drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic - contributed to writing. According to the 1993 Nirvana biography Come as You Are by Michael Azerrad, the song's main guitar riff was written by Grohl. Cobain was initially unimpressed with the riff, and admitted in the book that he only worked on it so that Grohl would not be offended. .

Scentless Apprentice Lyrics

[00:28.62] Like most babies, smell like butter
[00:34.15] His smell smelled like no other
[00:40.17] He was born scentless and senseless
[00:45.61] He was born a scentless apprentice
[00:50.52]
[01:01.25] Away
[01:03.88]
[01:08.05] Go away
[01:10.83] Go away
[01:13.59]
[01:19.78] Every wet nurse refused to feed him
[01:25.44] Electrolytes smell like semen
[01:31.09] I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
[01:36.52] There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
[01:41.40]
[01:52.14] Away
[01:54.82]
[01:58.88] Go away
[02:01.65] Go away
[02:04.12]
[02:38.64] I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
[02:44.43] Leaking out gas, fumes made into perfume
[02:50.08] You can't fire me 'cause I quit
[02:55.65] Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
[03:00.08]
[03:11.05] Hey
[03:14.67] Go away
[03:17.72] Go away
[03:20.41] Go away
[03:23.11] Go away
[03:26.14] Go away
[03:28.96] Go away
[03:31.62] Go away
[03:31.84]
