Notes
The original version of this song was titled "Imodium" and featured different lyrics. The title was a reference to the anti-diarrheal medicine that Tad used during the '89 European tour.

Although some will insist emphatically the alternate title is spelled with one "m," Kurt Cobain did once spell it with two -- "Immodium" -- in his Journals (page 123). As noted above, the song was originally named after the medicine, but the release of the journals has shown Kurt could be a poor speller.

Lyrics
Nevermind version

I don't care if I'm old
I don't mind if I don't have a mind
Get away, get away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of a ghost

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said



From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah version

I don't care, I don't care, I care, I care, I care, I care if I'm old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind, I mind, a mind of my own
Get away, get away, away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind, I mind, I mind, yeah...

Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we could have our dreams
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have a tree
She said (x8)

I'm away, I'm away, away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind, I mind, I mind, a mind of my own
Get away, get away, away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind, I mind, I mind, yeah...

Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we could have a tree
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could build a tree
She said (x8)

Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we could have our dreams
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could build all three
She said (x12)
