Avignon Lyrics

I spent a life time knocking round
the same old patch of concrete,
I waste all my time breaking rocks
and painting amiles on my feet.

I seize the end
ooo
for we drift toward the blue shore
send the birds along
ooo
for I'm not waitin for this day

Shes my little sad eyes,
Shes my little sad eyes
I'm her bluest boy,
I'm her bluest boy
I've become a weapon,
Shes my Little sad eyes
She's become a toy,
I'm her bluest boy
ooo...
You may call me a fool
ooo...
destination to no end
ooo...
I may cast the anchor
ooo...
down into the bottom of this well

oooo woo ooo
I dreamy about the train we somehow lost,
oooo woo ooo
That bled those giant marbles made
Of sand for us.
I wrote all night, Free man, Alright!
Big Day, All smiles. Burned all thier files!
oooo woo ooo
I wrote all night, Free man, Alright!
oooo wooo ooo
Big Day, All smiles. Burned all thier files!
I wrote all night, Free man, Alright!
Big Day, All smiles. Burned all thier files!

I spent a life time knocking round
the same old patch of concrete,
I waste all my time breaking rocks
and painting amiles on my feet.

I seize the end
ooo
    for we drift toward the blue shore
    send the birds along
ooo
    for I'm not waitin for this day

Shes my little sad eyes,
    Shes my little sad eyes
I'm her bluest boy,
    I'm her bluest boy
I've become a weapon,
    Shes my Little sad eyes
She's become a toy,
    I'm her bluest boy
ooo...
    You may call me a fool
ooo...
    destination to no end
ooo...
    I may cast the anchor
ooo...
    down into the bottom of this well

oooo woo ooo
I dreamy about the train we somehow lost,
    oooo woo ooo
That bled those giant marbles made
Of sand for us.
I wrote all night, Free man, Alright!
Big Day, All smiles. Burned all thier files!
    oooo woo ooo
I wrote all night, Free man, Alright!
    oooo wooo ooo
Big Day, All smiles. Burned all thier files!
I wrote all night, Free man, Alright!
Big Day, All smiles. Burned all thier files!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Don't waste time on something useless. Get out and do something with your life.
