A Hit Lyrics

It's not going to be a hit
So why even bother with it?
It's not going to be a hit
So why even bother with it?
Just lay it down, and forget about it
Lay it down fast, forget about it

I'll never be a rock and roll saint
I'll never be a rock and roll saint
Cause I can't sing
Oh no I can't sing
That's not the only reason
That's not the only reason

I'll never be a Bowie
I'll never be an Eno
I'll never be a Bowie
I'll never be an Eno
I'll only ever be a Gary Numan

I'll never be a rock and roll saint

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.
