Skirts Are Takin' Over Lyrics

Skirts are takin' over
That's exactly why I called
Gotta check the cue cards, grab my case and charge
Dominos are falling
The papers are blowing
I'm in the candy shop with
Sweetie and her boss
Businessman's lunch
Is the only way
From now on
Toll the bell
It's no use
I swear...tonight
Days are gettin' shorter
And I'm not exactly sure
I'm ready for a blackout every minute
Strange feel in the moments
The purple sun a-shines
I'm in the phone booth but people's on the line
Viable plans
Strict marketplace
Now all gone

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.
