I've Got It and It's Not Worth Having Lyrics

I can't even remember a sadder day
So much wasted in one movement and
Last night, alone in your car
Unable to speak
With every word uncovered

I've got it and it's not worth having.

And I drink to forget
Yet increase the distance
And I'm trying so hard to delay its permanence
This is permanent
Over you
Drink myself stupid
And I'm feeling plain stupid
Over you

I've got it and it's not worth having.

(awesome build up and solo)

I've got it and it's not worth having.
I've got it and it's not worth having.
I've got it and it's not worth having.
I've got it and it's not worth having.

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.

I agree with wabashii here. Boyracer are one of the best indie bands ever, with Stewart Anderson being on a level of genius (not to mention prolificness) on par with that of Robert Pollard (with the added ability to differentiate between a good and a bad song).

What I especially love about this lyrical transcription is that crashbangboom has been mindful to include the "awesome build up and solo" part of the song. Damn right.
