I Speak Much English Lyrics

I too like drink and eat
it's a human need
I can speak much english, see:
No thanks, yes please

What part do you not understand
What's so hard to perceive
This is not the tongue of my homeland
Why are you mocking me

You can see how hard I try
just to get by
Swedish language in my backbone
so I might get yours wrong

What part do you not understand
What's so hard to perceive
This is not the tongue of my homeland
Why are you mocking me

Fuck your first-language fascism,
your borderline racist nationalism
We leave a great deal of cool at home,
so strong's our will to bond
Please, respect that,
please, please

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.
