Violet Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say, "No"
[Interlude]
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
[Pre-Chorus]
When they get what they want
And they never want it again
When they get what they want
And they never want it again
[Chorus]
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
[Verse 2]
And the sky was all violet
I want it again, but violent, more violent
Yeah, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below
[Interlude]
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
[Pre-Chorus]
When they get what they want
And they never want it again
When they get what they want
And they never want it again
[Chorus]
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I dare you to
[Verse 3]
Well, I told you from the start
Just how this would end
When I get what I want
And I never want it again
[Chorus]
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
[Bridge]
It's my lie
You're mine, you're mine
[Chorus]
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything
Take everything
Take everything

Who produced Violet's ?
Violet was produced by Paul Q. Kolderie & Sean Slade.
Is it safe to say this is Courtney Love's Smells Like Teen Spirit?
It depends on what you mean by that. If you mean this is Hole’s most recognizable song, like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is for Nirvana, then I guess you’d be right.
However, you must consider how SLTS was more on the “pop” end of the spectrum in Nirvana’s strictly grunge context. It was their catchi...
