Simpatico Lyrics

I saw it once
It drove me mad
I saw it twice
It made me so sad
When I saw it again
I knew that it was not a fad
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it was you had

I speak it now
Like hablo espanol
I know it now
It's burned into my soul
Like I know
Bonita y feo
Sex and marijuana
Sex and bones and Ol' King Cole

Scream at me, oh no
Baby, I love you so
No quiero, No puedo
I'll kill you if you da-da-da-da-da-da-don't

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.

This songs sort of a tribute to the Pixies. The first time I heard them, it was nonsensical beauty. The second time, I started to understand the depth of feeling they put into what looks like abstract lyrics. I started to love the Pixies because they're such an unconventional band in every sense of the term. I threw a lot of Spanish in here, I'm not an expert, but it's so prevalant in Pixies songs that I just had to. Now they are one of my favorite bands, and it's a part of me that I can't let go of, like sex, marijuana, and Ol' King Cole.
