Some Twenty One Miles From the Coast Lyrics

So you must try it
This life
You're talking about
This life of light and serenity
But your eyes just see the walls of the city
The sunlight is invisible for you
The sun don't exist
You're living in darkness and ignorance
You don't like what you are and what You want to be

So you must try it
This life
You're talking about
This life ol' light and serenity
But your mind don't accept your nature
Because the light of your cities make it incredible
The world you like do exist under the ground of your cities
He is waiting for you

You're living in darkness and ignorance
What do you like? what do you hate?
You must live your choice but not in a whiskey drink

So you must try it
This life you're talking about
This life of light
You're living what you hate
This life of light and serenity
But your eyes just see the world of the city

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.

the best band with the greatest musical sensibilities for someone like me, that i love to death and then to death again, that i just can't listen to sometimes.. i'm not sure honestly if it's Philippe or Herve that sings, but they make Bernie Sumner sound like he was classically trained. it frustrates me when i share something like this song, or take the shock away with someone for the first time, all they hear is out of tune... but they are so IN tune under the surface. i'm bald so i can't pull out my hair, but i would. so, not the greatest at holding a note. if you can get past this, you wil understand why they are still beheld with such reverence from those who get T21
