Shake It Around Lyrics

looking around for a saint on the major fie
I got a heart to wait for another try
Shake it around
I was alone and musing before the calm
I got a heart to wait for another ride
Shake it around
King of the rights and all the wrongs
And you get – to face from another kind
Honda riding take him on a…
But you were a lot like me
Time and a rat to free
You’ve got to fade it around
I was alone in Dublin in 1973
When it was hot for another ride
Shake it around
Everything you can say
I was around to wait for another day
Shake it around
Walking around don’t wait for another one
I would like to ask why you don’t try
…Gotta feel
But you were a lot like me
Time and the right to free
…around

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.
