I Smell Sex And Candy

Nirvana · Other Songs - Nirvana

Hangin' 'round downtown by myself



And I had so much time



To sit and think about myself



And then there she was



Like double cherry pie



Yeah, there she was



Like disco superfly



I smell sex and candy here



Who's that lounging in my chair?



Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?



Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah



Yeah mama, this surely is a dream [Incomprehensible]



Hangin' 'round downtown by myself



And I had too much caffeine



And I was thinkin' 'bout myself



And then there she was



In platform double suede



Yeah, there she was



Like disco lemonade



I smell sex and candy here



Who's that lounging in my chair?



Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?



Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah



Yeah mama, this surely is a dream, [Incomprehensible]



Yeah mama, this surely is a dream, yeah



I smell sex and candy here



Who's that lounging in my chair?



Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?



Mama this surely is a dream [Incomprehensible]



Yeah, mama this surely is a dream



Yeah, mama this surely is a dream, yeah



Yeah, mama this must be my dream

I Smell Sex And Candy

I Smell Sex And Candy stands as a notable deep cut within the Nirvana catalogue, showcasing the band's ability to blend grunge intensity with quirky, introspective songwriting. Often associated with their later recording sessions, the track reflects the experimental edge Kurt Cobain brought to the group's evolving sound. While not as ubiquitous as their radio staples, the song captures the raw energy and emotional volatility that defined the Seattle scene. It serves as a compelling example of how the band explored darker, more complex themes beyond their standard grunge formula. Listeners familiar with the group's broader discography will recognize the distinct guitar textures and vocal delivery that characterize this period. The recording remains a cherished element for fans seeking to understand the full scope of the band's creative output during their most prolific years.
