Somethin To Du Lyrics

Delivering noise
Real tough boys
What else have I got?
Half-priced drugs
Stolen guitars
What else is new
It's somethin to du
Somethin to du
Well it ain't nothin' new

Stand around and sweat
Girls? you bet!
Sure beats working too
Half my stuff's
Broken guitars
Blah blah blah
Somethin to du
Somethin to du
It ain't nothin' new
It's somethin to ... du

Somethin to du
Somethin to du
Nothin' to
It's somethin

Delivering noise
Real tough boys
And what else have I got?
Half-priced drugs
Stolen guitars
When the weather's hot
It's somethin to du
It's somethin to du
Said somethin to du
Somethin to Husker

Break the mould

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.

Despite the obvious Husker Du/Bob Mould references, is there an inside joke here? Maybe the "girls" ... "tough boys" lines are cracks at Husker Du being two thirds gay?

two of the members of husker were gay, but they were tough and also they project a tough image. not much "inside" , just another hostile spew of lyrics (this time about their fellow twin-tone label-mates. don't take the lyrics to express a literal feeling, tho' (do you think "i hate music" explains paul's view of music !!) at this stage every song was negative

Husker Du was on SST not Twin Tone records. They both are from Minnesota though.
