Put On Your Dancing Shoes Lyrics

Lately, I've been reading the past life of a dead man
Differs ever slightly to what I'm used to
Everything was taken
Still I will not break in two
Without friends, without love, I've suffered in them all
Now is the time to discover something more
I will stand strong, reborn in the flames
Lying in bed, shivering from the withdrawal of your kiss
Your faded memories
Imprints on my psyche
The me I used to be
I will not revert my will
(I) will not be challenged
This is not time
You've tried your best
I stand unaffected
Though you bleed me, I will not cry
My life, my death
My blood, my victory

The Smell of Florida After It Rains

I Aim to Misbehave

The Monuments They Build For You Will Be Mountains

You Didn't Feel A Thing

Give 'Em A Little Bit of the Shillelagh

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.
