Lions Lyrics

I’m alone in the country
Took a walk in the country
All alone in the country

Blade of grass in the country
Sour mash in the country
All the cash in the country

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no, no

I’ll call you home
Then you start delivering
Taking my time then you start your quibbling
Now I know your meddling, you’re still back pedalling
I should have quit you a long long time ago

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no, no

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no, no

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no, no

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.

Putting it into perspective for the grown men who cry when England get knocked out of whatever sporting competition they enter (3lions). Ian went to live in South America for a while due to hassles after Roses split. Thank fuck he came back.
