Camperdown Way Lyrics

In an earthquake would this town still stand;
To be strong enough to give this bridge a hand?
Now theres something over my shoulder that I gotta look out for.
Trust this road to take us to the north.
We'll be there by 10 if we keep our course.
Now there's something over my shoulder that I gotta look out for.
In a tidal wave would this town still stand?
The waters taking over all the land.
Now theres nothing over my shoulder that I gotta look out for!

CHORUS
And the skyline melts behind Camperdown Way!
Why dont you choose your words so they don't sound cliche.
If theres an angel out there, shes burning today! Burning today Burning today!

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.
