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.
does anybody else think it sounds like thom is saying something in this? there is certainly a vocal part...and to me at least it sounds like he's saying something...unless its all just humming
i'm not really sure why i posted that last comment lol. looks like i answered a question which was never asked
There's words in there, but it's all in Thom Yorke's trademark marble mouthed mumbling layered with electronics. As if he's not incomprehensible enough as it is lawl.

Its so hard to make out the lyrics. I think it actually might be the lyrics to the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz........really....I think they may have distorted some of the words or repeated a couple lines more than normal [typical of Radiohead]
OMG
Love this song.
I can't find it anywhere but online.
And it's wonderful, with the beat and all.
I love how there's no distinct words, but the trademark Radiohead "oohh ahhhhh" mixed in there.
I feel like I'm on an acid trip.
Or in Willy Wonka.
It reminds me of the Magical Mystery Tour. And Blue Jay Way.
Maybe that was an influence?
To me, it sounds like parts of the lyrics to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" from Wizard of Oz (or at least a bastardized version of them, where he gets 'sidetracked' after a few verses...)
Here are the lyrics to that song, anyway:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a place that I heard of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dream that you dare to dream
Really does come true
One day I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far
behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Way upon the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Way upon the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

he's actually singing "little birds in the trees" i found a website that separated out the vocals and it's quite clear

I'll be commenting on this again soon.
i reckon in the begining of the dialogue it sounds like he says 'somewhere over the rainbow'
This song scares the crap out of me and physically causes pain. They should rename it "Where Bluebirds Peck Your Head Till You're Dead".
I love this track, very electronic and weird. I also love the name of it, don't know why.
I can make out the words "somwhere out there, where bluebirds fly..." The rest is all mumbly. Can anyone else make out what he says?
No idea, but i love the electronic beat. :)
