Purple Haze

All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover)

Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Little Wing

Bold As Love

Look over yonder here comes the blues...
                                                      I can see ’em comin’
                                                 Wearing a blue armoured coat...
                                               You’re sittin’ there with your violins
                                                     Hittin’ wrong notes...
                                              Look over yonder, he’s comin’ my way
                                                      When he’s around,
                                      I never have a happy day (you even bust my guitar strings)

Look over yonder
                                                   Well, he’s talkin’ to my baby
                                                 They found my peace pipe on her
                                                  Now they’re draggin’ her away
                                     Lord knows we don’t need a devil like him beatin’ us around
                                                 Well, he’s knockin’ on my door
                                                 Now my house is tumbling down

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.
