Sympathy For The Rolling Stones Lyrics

Saturday night's couplings brunch sunday morning count how many ways they have to say nothing shame changes shapes makes a name doom outgrown shiverprone proven shimmerproof even christ carpenter bulit crosses and judas braved himself able to betray for only love i don't want you to do anything you don't want to so don'tish and sulking always a catch of some kind i guess but no matter how big your bid eyes you don't know me anymore it's the singer not the song and you've got some fucking technique baby

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.

No doubt one of the best (if not the best) tracks on Live In Chicago, 1999.
