Camperdown Lyrics

Camperdown- Day after day and enjoy them I won’t. If ever there was bad luck it’s in this room. The balcony stands too far from the ground. If I fall it’s not my fault that it’s not child proof. Months have gone by and nothing’s been moved. Fifty rooms. Identical. The balcony stands a bit closer now. Still, no one bothered to make it child proof. I know that it hates me, the whole damn tower. If these walls could speak we’d argue for hours. How can I sleep under this cover if I can’t see an inch of colour? This building’s alive. No need to make amends its fine. I know this time it will pay for what it did. Against the skyline, God I swear I could have died. That’s why this time it will pay for what it did. Air conditioning. A colour TV. A separate kitchen that’s serviced daily. A five minute walk to the royal hospital is pointless now but comforting to know.

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.
