How Indiscreet Lyrics

I saw you last night
My, my how indiscreet
Your self-destruction is so complete
And I know, yeah I know
That she’s going down slow
It was this morning that you phoned
You sound strung out, babe, but so high toned
And I know, yeah I know
That she’s going down slow
You’re the article babe
The genuine thing
And when that guy comes by
With his diamond ring
It doesn’t feel right
And you tell him so
So you buy your tickets home
And you’re going down slow
Wait a minute
What’s this?
We’re loosing altitude Hand over fist
And she’s going down fast

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.
