Sifting Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you, don't have nothing for you
Don't have nothing for you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Sifting” is the eleventh track from Nirvana’s debut album, Bleach.

Lead singer Kurt Cobain told Nick Soulsby, author of Cobain on Cobain:

They take a song and think that the whole album is like that. On Bleach, there was ‘Sifting’ and the other slow, boring song ‘Paper Cuts,’ two very slow songs, with less feedback, so they stick in people’s minds and they forget about the rest of the album."
