Dogs on a Doe Lyrics

Riches and roads bring brigands hither
Riches and roads bring brigands bold
Brigands deck their ears with hoops of silver
Brigands diz? their ears with hoops of gold
Threshes make a broom to sweep up threshes
Straws can make a broom to sweep up straws
Spilt milk makes a pool for drowning fishes
Lovers make a virtue of a flaw

Angels above
Devils below
Flies on honey
Dogs on a doe

South wind sues the seer with songs of mildness
North wind sues the seer with songs of ice
Kings can make a war to sue for sugar
Queens can make a war to sue for spite

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.

Apparently someone has accidentally added the lyrics of House here instead of Dogs on a Doe. Here are the D.o.a.D. lyrics that I found:

Riches and roads bring brigands hither Riches and roads bring brigands bold Brigands deck their ears with hoops of silver Brigands diz? their ears with hoops of gold Threshes make a broom to sweep up threshes Straws can make a broom to sweep up straws Spilt milk makes a pool for drowning fishes Lovers make a virtue of a flaw

Angels above Devils below Flies on honey Dogs on a doe

South wind sues the seer with songs of mildness North wind sues the seer with songs of ice Kings can make a war to sue for sugar Queens can make a war to sue for spite
