Planet Jerk Lyrics

it came from planet jerk
it was a cold machine
it wore a capa jackson ?
it said it loved the go-betweens
you are an astronaught
but i am from planet..
JERK!
i've got a feeling you were gonna bring me down to earth
it came from planet jerk
it wore a keen disguise
it was a fiend for disco
it played a roland synthesizer
you are an astronaught
but i am from planet..
JERK!
i had a feeling you were gonna bring me down to earth
it came from planet jerk
it wore a keen disguise
you should have looked more closely
should have been much less surprised
you are an astronaught but
i am from planet..
i've got a feeling you were gonna bring me down to earth
oh i've got a feeling you were gonna bring me down to earth
send me back to planet jerk

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.

Astronaut is spelled - well, like that. Astronaught is a funny way to spell it, if you feel what they do up there is all for naught.

The third line is "It wore a purple tracksuit."

I don't think loving the Go-Betweens makes you a jerk, but perhaps claiming you do when you don't really know how awesome they are does make you a jerk.
