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.
Unreleased 1975. I don't know if it's really instrumental, but if it wouldn't be, then I could find lyrics somewhere.
The only thing I know about it from fan pages etc. is that it is "very strange".
If anyone knows how to get it, please tell me.
It's very, very rare.
I have emailed a person who wrote of the fan pages you were talking about, asking how to get it and other songs like it, and if I find out, I'll post it here.
I hate to say it, but I think that this song can't be obtained. I have been searching on a very good site for Pink Floyd rarities, and even it did not have this.

I have found a 27 minute version of Echoes, the song Moonhead, the single Take it Back, a 17 minute version of Pigs (3 different Ones), and other excellent stuff, such as Live at Pompeii as a CD. The site is not free, but it charges very little per song. I got a copy of the Breathe Reprise for 3 cents.
I love the title of the song.
I've never heard about it except for an interview with Waters in late 1975 with the Rock & Folk magazine. It could have become Pigs (3 different Ones) but I guess not because Pigs isn't "very strange". I would rather certificate songs like Several Species.... very strange.

The guy seems to not want to respond. I'm kind of ticked off about that, as I now want the song really badly.

Highly recommended, despite not having this song.

Anyway, the page is great! (allofmp3)
I wasn't suggesting that it was Pigs (3 Different Ones), I was just noting that the site had it.
Who knows. Too bad I can't get it.
And actually, it turns out that that site is keeping Russia out of the World Trade Org. So if you don't like Russia, use away.
God Bless the New York Times.
I agree, great title for a song.
