Richards on Richards Lyrics

She's a different kind of girl
The kind you see in pictures
I think you might have seen her
Richards on Richards

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean mean
Richards

She doesn’t ride a motor bike
She says it doesn't fit her
But she always wears a monocle
Richards on Richards

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean mean
Richards

Look over there
Check out her hair
She's really on an ego trip
(Spoken) Oh! Look at her!

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean mean
Richards

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.

Without a doubt, the best Venue Song. This could be a stand alone single if they wanted it to be

Obviously about a wonderful companion--Plant's dog. Haven't you had a dog that smiles when it sees you, no matter how long you've been gone, dances around your feet, runs along side you happy and carefree? This IS a love song about the best kind of love, UNCONDITIONAL, that only a great pet can provide. (never met a human that can provide unconditional love, pity) Too bad the song isn't about a wonderful blue-eyed girl. Merle refers to the markings on an animal--google it for loads of info.
