Beatless Wonder Lyrics

can't keep the needle falling
now
can't keep the needle falling
doth another falling
can't both keep another way
can't boot it
away
now
can't keep the needle falling
doth another falling
can't doth another one
hang on another falling stay afloat
can't doth another little
pray for my native foreign
can't go the needle falling
say it's on fall
who's seen the needle law then
can't see the needle money

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.

I don't hear most of these lyrics. Diane uses nonsense syllables in quite a few songs and I have a feeling it's meant to be both nonsensical and up to interpretation of the listener. I definitely hear "can't keep the needle falling" or something similar, but everything else is too slurred for me to decipher. I'm pretty sure she's purposefully incoherent at certain points. She also doesn't have lyrics for this track on her bandcamp (which she usually does if there are lyrics). All of this makes me think most of the vocals in this song were at least somewhat improvised or not meant to be cut-and-dry lyrics.
