Square Faces Lyrics

it was nottingham, christmas '05
and we'd been to the german market
it was lovely walking 'round without hopes, without fears
just you and me walking alone

and the winter was so cold,
and i could feel the ice melt on my toes

the flaming lips were my new favourite band
we never knew that we'd be holding hands

i remember sitting on a train, no pain
hardly hoping for anything
we were different back then
we smiled and we laughed about graffiti

but i remember back then,
and i so hate to be nostalgic
but the warmth of that time will always still shine:
the romance of two new friends alone

we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look

we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look
we had square faces,
we were perfect, don't look

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.
