Another kickass song by Nirvana, this one off their last album In Utero. Is a great example of Kurt Cobain's lyrical genius at work. It was inspired by Francis Farmer, an actor of the 30s and 40s who underwent many hardships.
Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle--

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, 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

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

I miss the comfort in being sad

Seattle Standoff

The common situation in Seattle of competitive politeness. Seattleites, facing each other in a situation that requires courtesy, will want to let the other person go first. The result is that no one moves.
Many of Seattle’s neighborhood streets are so narrow that if cars are parked on both sides the remaining street is only wide enough for one car to drive through at a time. If two cars are facing each other down one of these streets one person will have to wait while the other drives through. It’s considered common courtesy to waive thanks if someone lets you drive through first. Often no one moves as they wait for the other person to go first. It’s the Seattle Standoff!
