When I Get Home (cover Nick Cave - Right Now I'm A-roaming Lyrics

When I get home
I'm gonna sit on my back
When I get home
Your feet backin' my head

When I get home
I won't answer the phone
but right now
right now
right now I'm here all alone

When I get home
I'm gonna touch your head
When I get home
I'm gonna touch you there

When I get home
I'll be on top of you
but right now
right now
right now I'm here on my own

When I get home
I now it ain't no sin
When I get home
You know I take of my skin

When I get home
I dance around in my bones
but right now
right now
right now I'm cruisin' alone

When I get home
I'm gonna see my girls
When I get home
I'm gonna buy them new toys

When I get home
They're gonna jump with joy
but right now
right now
right now I'm flyin' alone

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.
