Son Of A Gun

Nirvana · Incesticide

Up up up and down
turn turn turn around
round round roundabout
and over again
gun gun...son of gun
you are the only one
that makes any difference to what I say

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Up up up and down
turn turn turn around
round round roundabout
and over again
gun gun...son of gun
you are the only one
that makes any difference to what I say

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Sun shines in the bedroom when we play
the raining always starts when you go away

Son Of A Gun

Son Of A Gun stands as a standout track from Nirvana's 1993 compilation album, Incesticide. Recorded during the band's formative years, the song captures the raw energy and melodic sensibility that defined their early sound before the massive commercial success of Nevermind. The recording features the distinctive interplay between Kurt Cobain's emotive vocals and the tight, driving rhythm section that characterized their live performances of the era. As part of a collection of B-sides and rarities, the track highlights the band's prolific output and their ability to craft memorable songs outside of their primary studio albums. It remains a beloved piece of their discography, showcasing the grunge aesthetic and emotional depth that cemented their legacy in alternative rock history.
