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.

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
