The Irish Curse Lyrics

Dear John, you were wrong about everything Don't blame me now for mistakes you've made Now when you fail its of your own accord I've heard you cry, I've heard you whine and now I'm bored Life is hard, when you don't know who you are, and you miss the point to everything Dear John, you were wrong about everything Is this the way you wanted it Is this the way you pictured it We all have to learn to live with decisions that we make I can see the shame in your fathers eyes

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.

Basically a letter from Sabatino to John McGuire of Pencey Prep. Ironically a few years later McGuire would join Fairmont from 2004-2007
