Edison Lyrics

He made electric lights to read. He gave us light today.
He gave us cylinders to please.
When Edison came to stay. Edison came to stay.

Edison set the world on fire. He really made the day.
Station to station ; many wires.
Edison came to stay. Edison came to stay.

Oh, how , look at us now. We've still got a lot to learn.
But it's someone else's turn.
Edison's here to stay. Edison's here to stay.

All of the world can taste his glory. All of the people say.
You be the man to write his story. Edison's here to stay.
Edison's here to stay.

Oh, how, look at us now. We've still got a lot to learn.
But it's someone else's turn.
Edison's here to stay . Edison's here to stay.

He made electric lights to read. He gave us light today.
He gave us cylinders to please, when Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.Edison came to stay.Edison came to stay.

You be the man to write his story. Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.
All of his world can hear his story. Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay . Edison came to stay. Edison came to stay ..
Edison came to stay (keep repeating and fade out )

Edison came to stay. Edison came to stay.

Oh, how , look at us now. We've still got a lot to learn. 
But it's someone else's turn. 
Edison's here to stay. Edison's here to stay.

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.

Cover art for Edison lyrics by Bee Gees

This is a great song! The overall listening experience is amazing and the vocal harmonies are cool.

The song is obviously about Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb. He also helped to develop the electrical systems we use today.

I think subliminaly the song is about technology and the wonder that comes with it.

Edison made his contribution (he's here to stay) Who will be next? (But it's someone else's turn.)
