An Evening's Entertainment Lyrics

Wild pictures
I’ll sail
Cut from memory
Made from tales
They’re to gratify
Streams of gazes
A few less fingertips
To mar the pages
(mmm.. ?)
Another adventure
Without laws in fashions
Re-enactment
Of things that never happened
People on screens selling dreams
An evening’s entertainment
(ooowooah?)
All that I need is some kind of distraction
An evenings’s entertainment
If I turn on .. if I let go .. check out the channels
Readjust the radio
If I turn on .. if I let go

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.
