I Don't Want to Record Anymore Lyrics

One...
Two...
Three...
Four...

Tune the toms
And test the tones
That pre-amp doesn’t
Pass the lows
Attenuate the input please
And dial in the gates release
Reverse phase and reverb plates
Will give the instrument some space
Earphone monitor fatigue
Green compression from Joe Meek
I sound as though I know my stuff
And sure I guess I know enough
But I'm just a dork
Who can't really record
I'm sorry I won't say no more
Except for
I don't want to record anymore

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 was a touring lighting director for over 20 years, always standing next to the house sound engineer and this song is perfect for me... I know all the terms, but I still consider what they do voodoo magic...

Just like they consider my lighting console to be magic :)
