1001 Commandments Lyrics

I'll never shout you down
I'll never shut you in
I'll never lock you out
I'll never smash your things

If you're ever out
Ever out with him
I'll never share my doubts
I'll keep them all within

I'll never shop around
I'll keep the shop within
I'll keep it squeaky clean
I'll never listen

In when you are phoning in
I'll always let you win
In your forbidden games

I shall take the blame
I shall sit outside
In the pouring rain
If you shout my name
If you shout my name
If you shout my name
If you shout my name
And if you shout my name
I'll crawl into you

When I'm watching out
Watch the cat creep in
I'll just go walk about
When you're upstairs with him

And when he goes away
And you cry out your pain
But here I am again
Here I am again

I'm on my hands and knees
And you can cling to me
And pin some wings on me
And I will ride the breeze

I'm only here to please
it's my philosophy
And I submit to thee
Yes I submit to she
I submit to thee
Yes I submit to she
I submit to thee
Yes I submit to she
I'll crawl into you

I submit to thee
Yes I submit to she

I'll never shout you down 
I'll never shut you in 
I'll never lock you out 
I'll never smash your things

If you're ever out 
Ever out with him
I'll never share my doubts 
I'll keep them all within

I'll never shop around 
I'll keep the shop within 
I'll keep it squeaky clean 
I'll never listen

In when you are phoning in 
I'll always let you win 
In your forbidden games

I shall take the blame 
I shall sit outside 
In the pouring rain 
If you shout my name 
If you shout my name 
If you shout my name 
If you shout my name 
And if you shout my name
I'll crawl into you

When I'm watching out
Watch the cat creep in 
I'll just go walk about 
When you're upstairs with him

And when he goes away 
And you cry out your pain 
But here I am again 
Here I am again

I'm on my hands and knees 
And you can cling to me 
And pin some wings on me 
And I will ride the breeze

I'm only here to please

And I submit to thee 
Yes I submit to she 
I submit to thee 
Yes I submit to she 
I submit to thee 
Yes I submit to she 
I'll crawl into you

I submit to thee
Yes I submit to she

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.

Though probably vastly wrong, it sounds like a sarcastic oath of allegiance to someone.
