Pen Cap Chew

Pen Cap Chew was a song written by Kurt Cobain, in 1987, and recorded on January 23, 1988 ( At Reciprocal Studios {prod by Jack Endino}). The song was only partially recorded due to the fact it had the unfortunate luck of being the last song tracked during the session. Despite this, the song is considered by some fans to be still an excellent song and on par with releases in Bleach, the reason it cold not be added being the aforementioned recording issues.

Official lyrics:
oh lesser God, oh loathe me.

oh lesser God, oh loathe me.

oh lesser God, oh loathe me.

oh lesser God, oh oh.

You get, you get, you get, you get to me,

Holy is the time it's such an easy way to go.

You get, you get, you get, you get to be,

Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail.

oh lesser God, oh loathe me, oh lesser God, oh lonely.

oh lesser God, oh loathe me, oh lesser God, YOU'RE LONELY.

Waste your time by saving worthless gullibles,

Kill a politician and then wear his clothes.

This decade is the age of re-hashing,

Protest and then go to jail for tresspassing.

To me it's home... go... home... go...

From Kurt Cobain's Journals, the missing verse can be found which was cut from the recording, and presumably it would have been part of the recording had the band had enough of the reel left.

Can you see the reason for my entropy?

Is there something wrong without society?

Has your concience got to you for building?
Is that you noticing you eat your pens?

Go... home... (x4)
Pen Cap Chew is a Nirvana song.

Pen Cap Chew

A great song by one of the best bands ever, Nirvana. Kurt Cobain wrote it before Bleach, Nirvana's first album, and it was considered for it, but never made it in. Still a great song, though. Look it up on Youtube.
Lyrics to Pen Cap Chew.

Ummm, lies again
Ummm, mine
Ummm, mmmm

You go, you give, you get, you get to me
All the years of tyrants such an easy way to go
You go, you give, you get, you get to me
Time to struggle and the scaling of fingernails

Ummm, lies again
Ummm, mine
Ummm, mmmm

You're lonely

Waste your time by saying he was gullible
Give up all additions in there where it's cold
Push that gate, it is the age of red eye shame
Protest swine, go to jail, the travesty

Two minutes slow...slow...slow...oh

Just to add a missing word from the lyrics in Annorexorcist's definition:
Has your concience got to you for building *trends*?
Is that why un-noticing you eat your pens?

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
