Music Box Lyrics

This is my music box
And this is my home
Come in take a look if you like
Just you on your own
But don't make you mind up
Cos it's not dome yet
Yeah this is my music box
In a state of regret
Cos you drag me down
Yeah you drag me down

But I've had a plague of late
A niggle of doubt
Yeah I've had questions of conscience
Of what this is about
Can anyone heard me these days
Did I lose my tongue
Did I lose the battle sweet stuff?
Before I'd begun
Cos I am a private man
Or am I a whore
We'll settle the bill first then
Well we'll settle the score
Yeah this is my music box
My pride and my joy
Come in take a seat look around
Say hi to the boys

Yeah this is my music box
And this is my home
Yeah this is my sanctuary
Now leave me alone
Cos you dra me down
Yeah you drag me down

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 love this song!

The build up of the drums then the amazing riff at the end.

This would be amazing live... What a shame they broke up.
