Get Right (Matt Cameron version) Lyrics

i want you to lay down, i'm waiting 'till sundown
i'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine, wait for the moment
a moment between us, fire is made now, hot to the touch
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right with it with you
bakers dozen parades, stand and debate
out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
keeping your boots on, float with the now, hot to the touch
concrete underground, cast out everyday, the dregs of society
underbelly, inside of me, rejoice and follow thee
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right with it, with you
with it... with you...

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.

Again, as with Matt's In The Moonlight version, this is so much more interesting! Matt puts on a much more 'sexier' voice lol in this song... which sort of suits the lyrics... dont you think??

He should have DEFINITELY had the lead vox for this with a proper production of the song. My only problem is with the last bit of the song which is a bit boring and nothing much to it... but as i say, a proper production would have sorted that out.
