The Great Escape (We Are Scientists cover) Lyrics

Making my escape
Making my escape
Tell myself that everything's in shape
Everything's in shape
But me

How long can this take?
How long can this take?
Tell myself that everything is great
Everything is great

I've got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I've got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
Everything is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up

Breaking both my hands
Breaking both my hands
Tell me to take it like a man
Take it like a man
I can't

I don't understand
I don't understand
Please repeat what you just said
Nothing makes sense

I've got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I've got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
Everything is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up

Whoooooaaah!

Solo!

Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da da da da da.

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.

Eddie's inability to sing has spoiled this cover. He should not have attempted it. We Are Scientists is a brilliant band with a clear, talented vocalist. Eddie just talks. It works for Art Brut, as their albums are more like conversation over some excellent music- the inclusiveness is its charm. But We Are Scientists is vocalist's music! I can't say I like this cover.
