It's a Bad Wind That Don't Blow Somebody Some Good Lyrics

Pricked your skin with cotton blades
Saved the sunlight from the shade
Never heard the others laugh
Tried to tell, but wasn't asked

No you just run along
'Cause I'm not second best
Horizon can't be long
and I just failed the test

Must be worn out, Love
You're too tired. Rest.

Saw the sun, you seen the same
Looked at you, you looked away
Hold still, horizon can't be wrong

No, you just run along
'Cause I'm not
Play my worn out song
This one I still

You must be worn out, son
You're too tired. Rest.

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.

I come on this website a click on what might be one of the best songs f my generation and the only god damn comment on it is, :it reminds me of fall", I'm not saying this is bad but come on. It's a bad wind that don't blow somebody some good. Isn't this true, of course it is. The lyrics are a very nicely written poem that envolves alliteration and metaphoric sayings, not to mention the music, it takes off right outta the momentum from still see you and you don'y even here the song switch. One of the most unappreciated songs if not the most ever. When this band hits it big, and yes, they will hit it big, people will go back to there first CD an go damn, this is some strange shit, when really, it's probably going to be there best.

It's not that great of a song. But duh, the lyrics contain alliteration and metaphoric sayings. What does that say? It reminds me of fall, is all.
