Trouble Lyrics

Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day

Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day

When the neon lights that find you
Leave our memory far behind you
Down the line I will remind you
Listen how I love you

Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day

Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day

When the world steals all hope from you
Wonder where you dreams have gone to
You're the one I still belong to
Listen why I love 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.

I always thought the lyrics were "Haven't slept a day in years" instead of "Haven't slipped".

Might be my own sleep deprivation though ;-)

Anyway, can someone explain to me what "Haven't slipped a day in years" would mean? English isn't my first language so I might miss something here.

I would have to say that "Haven't slipped a day in years" is referring to Mark Lanegan's struggle with drug addiction and that he hasn't resorted to using drugs in years or slipped in years.
