Neilhouse Lyrics

"Neilhouse"

It all started one day
when I had nothing more to say to you
so I ran over the other way.
Love is for morons.
But, who's this fucking idiot that I see
staring right back at me???
Will someone tell me
what's right or wrong anymore?
Cause' everywhere I go
I wonder what I'm searching for.
I think of all the times
I've thought of you and masturbated.
All this pre-teen shit has got me so
frustrated!
Don't turn around
cause' there's nothing more for you back
there.
I'd send a postcard,
but it'd say how much that I don't care.
I'm goin' east to say the least
to see The Queers, how true.
I'll be at the Neilhouse
but I'll be without you!
Don't try to tell me you can't have any fun.
You played me for a fucking fool
but now you get to be one... don't go.

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.

This song seems to me like a man had a girlfriend and is pre-occupied with her after they have broken up.
