Master of the Bump (Kurt Stambaugh, I Can Feel the Soil Falling Over My Head) Lyrics

If you say my dancing is effeminate
I will never dance again

And if you say my logic is irreversible
then things will always be the same

Master of the bump
and master of the hustle
But i not i'm not your
only sweetheart

And if you note
I'm smacking of a savagery
Know its essential to my masculinity
and if you say my dancing is effeminate
i will never dance again

Master of the bum
and master of the smurf
But i'm not your timeless one and only

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.

Dealing with pressures to conform in a sense. How femininity is looked down upon by so many people. I get the feeling Jamie is frustrated with himself for not being able to be fully comfortable with who he is still. He is not timeless or someone's true love he is still flip flopping caring about what people think.

I believe this is a typo, and it's Kurt Stumbaugh. He played saxophone in IBOPA with Jamie Stewart.
