Old age has a interesting story behind it. At first Kurt wrote and recorded his own acoustic 4 track home demo of it. Dissatisfied with the song, he gave it away to Courtney Love. It then made its first public appearance in 1993 as the B-side to Hole's "Beautiful Son" single and re-appeared on the "Violet" single two years later – credited to Courtney Love as its sole author. But the song was persistently rumored to have Cobain's hand in it somewhere. "That's a Nirvana song. Kurt wrote that song," Novoselic told The Stranger in 1998, and indeed, With the Lights Out included Nirvana's Nevermind-era recording of the song (albeit with almost entirely different words). Still, their version is half-formed – it's the only known original song from that era that the band never played live, and Kurt seemed uncertain of the lyrics he was mumbling.

Tuning: Around D

Lyrics first part unknown song 1 (Miss me):

I'm leaving

Filthy hands hey hey

Meet me hey, hey hey

And miss me, hey, hey

Prefer me stay hey hey

More a one day...

And you gonna miss me hey, hey

You gonna miss me...

Second unknown song:

And I am afraid

It's a fire

Our house is gone

And I refrain

Are you God

Are you God

You little boy

Your knotted fingers meet the floor

And now like a baby he ignores

And I walk like a baby

Free spin flowers beneath your ray

Your silent bit and and I will sway

The sea in front of me away

And I know, I know...baby

Lyrics Old Age:

One more day to complete my service

One more high to decay my nervous

Wondering how I'm gonna find a way

It's over

One more day to complete my service

One more time here to fade my servant

Wondering how I'm gonna find a way

Over

She seen through me and mine

And I know a later time

We could make it with you

We're the same

Old age (x4)

One more day to complain, my servant

One more doubt here to find a servant

Wondering how I'm gonna find

It's over

Wondering how I'm here date my cover

One more doubt here to save my never

Wondering how I'm gonna find a way

It's over

She seemed true, me and mine

And I know a later time

We and we're you to you

Leave the soul

Old age (x4)

Just you need and read you free

Hmmm

And knew

You read

You flew

Ooo

Hmmm

One more day to complete my circuit

One more high here to find my nervous

Someday I'm gonna find a way

It's over

One more doubt here to claim my supper

I can have anything you wanted

Wondering how I'm gonna find a way

It's over

He seemed to read minds

And I know we're out of time

Breathe away here with you

Dream the same on the dew

Breathe the same on her

Breathe to moan on a man

Breathe and shame on you

He's late

Old age (x7)
