Nirvana - Return Of The Rat Lyrics






You better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no no no

You better confess
You had better confess
You started this mess so see them through it
You better confess

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no no no no no

Well you better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
No no no no no no no no

    �.... �....

    yeah its a fuckign dope song so rockin ye know ! great riffs

  47. g.... ....

    Buy the original single oh the guilt. Unfortunately Nirvana remasters sound bad. This overly compressed and distorted. Trust me, compare it to the original. Nirvanas catalogue has been butchered.

    g.... ....

    girlswanted7
    I thought oh the guilt was originally Nirvana? Obviously I know this is Wipers but who was oh the guilt by?

    g.... ....

    Oh The Guilt is all Kurt but they mean it was released on a CD single with a Jesus Lizard song in 1993 as a double A-side. https://www.discogs.com/Jesus-Lizard-Nirvana-Puss-OhGuilt/release/733713
    This devastating cut is available in all its glory on the original Wipers tribute CD also from 1993. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Fourteen-Songs-For-Greg-Sage-And-The-Wipers/release/593085

    g.... ....

    girlswanted7 eye feel you

  48. T.... S....

    daves snare is on point in this recording

  49. T.... R....

    they kinda tore up the solo.....but they make up for it with the vocals

    T.... R....

    It seems like a scratch take they just never changed. Time capsule.

  50. z.... n....

    "nirvanas heavier side"!👌

    z.... n....

    zeppelin nirvana bleach

    z.... n....

    Noizemaker is an 18 minute Sludge jam from them. Their most out-there song

    z.... n....

    Annorexorcist

  51. ".... ....

    yeaah BI (y)

  52. S.... P....

    Ahhh Nirvana doing The Wipers fuck yes!

  53. D.... S....

    Alliance is back PogChamp

    D.... S....

    I fucking love you for this comment admiralC clap

  54. M.... M....

    I love Nirvana. Great Skate music to

    M.... M....

    Max Myers Great !!

    M.... M....

    What does that even mean

    M.... M....

    @Kobey Heigns I think he meant "great music to skate to" xd, might've had a stroke

  55. L.... P....

    Nirvana's D7 is better but they can't match the original version of this song

    L.... P....

    Lewis Polland Original 1's are Always Better

    L.... P....

    so agree, wipers did it so good at original version, but this still so good

    L.... P....

    I think the vocals blend better in this one, and the middle verse is better.

    L.... P....

    I think both are good it's just that the original's recording quality wasn't so good.

  56. E.... ....

    This is Nirvana. Side B

    E.... ....

    @Edu This is not a B-side track, this is a Nirvana cover of The Wiper's 1979 "Return of the Rat".

    E.... ....

    It never appeared on a single/ep

  57. M.... H....

    Haaaa esta genial este tema!

  58. T.... ....

    When they recorded this song they did it in one take:)

    T.... ....

    Doesn't surprise me. They did the whole MTV unplugged show in one take

    T.... ....

    Doesn't surprise me. Most bands perform concerts in one take

    T.... ....

    Nirvana never used to mess about back in the day. Until the music industry commercialised all there sings and kurt got fed up of playing the way he used too. This is properly him at his his best along with a few others. RIP KURT COBAIN sadly missed x

    T.... ....

    Your cover of it was awesome.

    T.... ....

    U sure do love nirvana dont u

  59. R.... P....

    I really appreciate Kurt's choice of cover material. Wipers, Meat Puppets, Velvet Underground, The Vaselines, DEVO, Leadbelly, David Bowie, The Stooges...all wonderful. I even like the odd covers thrown in I have heard live...Duran Duran, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who...hell even a Cher song they brutalized. 

    R.... P....

    What Simon n Garfunkel song did they do?
    And yeah he used to be in a CCR cover band

    R.... P....

    Great choices, best covers

    R.... P....

    Walt Loggins I wanna be your dog

    R.... P....

    And low rider 😂

    R.... P....

    Don't forget 2 Live Crew 'pop that pussy'

  60. M.... B....

    great stuff, Kurts coarse voice when he tells better be aware he he Nobody like Nirvana

  61. G.... F....

    Great cover.

  62. F.... ....

    Un muy buen tema o canción , muchos recuerdos  en los inicios de nuestra banda
    Gracias por compartirlo ...Not speak english

  63. c.... ....

    so fuckin raw!

  64. E.... P....

    Thanks to the Wipers for gems like this

  65. M.... ....

    My favorite cover song of all time!

  66. i.... ....

  67. N.... W....

    That's a very sweet thing to say... Long live Kurt Donald Cobain, 1967-????.\m/

  68. e.... B....
