One Quarter Of One Ashtray Lyrics

i've been pushed down a long corridor
my head is aching
my back is sore
it was a line of laughing men
they keep pushing me to one big end
you go this way
and i'll go that way
don't be crazy
just do what i say
i found a room with a hundred doors
a falling roof
an unsteady floor
i've been pulled and pushed each different way
i can't decide and i can't stay
you'll go this way
and i'll go that way
don't be crazy
just do what i say
do i decide, do i have a choice?
cos you talk so loud i can't hear my own voice
just let me drift, isn't that okay?
cos i can't make up my mind today
you'll go this way
and i'll go that way
don't be crazy
just do what i say
do what i say

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.
