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.
Sorry people you're all barking up the wrong tree this song was written in '77 let's remember, back at the roots of Punk they're having a pop at the fashion industry
Punk is (was) anti-fashion but now it has become fashion, which is why PUNK IS DEAD
Nothing to do with when people piss you off or fake people you despise, or attacking any particular individual. Thin = shallow, btw. The clue's in the title - "Mannequin", geddit?
I love this song- one of my favorites by the band. Makes me think of a really fake girl I really despise. I know some people hide their intentions, or some people just act nice to everyone. She's a deceiving witch whose lies are almost as frightening as her weird-looking face.
While the idea of this being an anti-fashion song is very interesting and seems to be pretty well grounded in the lyrics and title, the idea that punk was anti-fashion is entirely wrong. The members of the Sex Pistols were chosen by their manager Malcolm McLaren who knew all of them because they were frequent customers and employees of his boutique clothing store that specialized in fetish and bondage clothing.

This song is about people who just want to fit in a be normal. They are so thin and shallow that they just reflect other people; like a mannequin.

"you're so bloody think" should be "you're so bloody thick." thick=thick-skulled
I think that "you're so bloody think" should be "you're so bloody thin".. it matches the preceding verse and, you know, mannequins are not very fat...
agreed its definitely your so bloody thin. this is a fucking perfect pop song, great to listen to when someones pissing you off
haha, i also listen to it when i'm pissed off
