Blow Your Tuneless Trumpet Lyrics

Blow...
Blow your tuneless trumpet the choice is yours
I'm going to see the horse doctor
He's waiting where the rain comes in
The fancy shirt I wore is just lying in the drawer
The girl I used to sleep with I don't see her anymore
Blow...
Blow your tuneless trumpet the choice is yours
Death belongs to everyone it's the only thing we have
Yeah, death belongs to everyone it's the only thing we have
I don't owe nobody I don't even owe the rent
I've even got some money left I still haven't spent
So blow...
Blow your tuneless trumpet the choice is yours
We don't want the glamour the pomp and the drums
The dublin messiah scattering crumbs
Just blow...

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.
