Now I Wanna Go Home Lyrics

batshit babies i known them well
crass good fun in a way
good for slaking the fever-snake
and i had that every day
o lord, yeah i had that every day
followed up the glow in the woods that night
jumped the train to the zone
i been out in the dark too long
i been out in the dark too long
and now i wanna go home
now i wanna go home
i got wrecked in the factory
made a mess in the foam
i done dubious things alright
wandered far from the cosy light
but now i wanna go home

strangled sorrow and bitch-slapped fear
walked the night in a rage
went downtown to the voodoo hounds
and then i rattled their cage oh yeah
i went and rattled their cage
gaffed like salmon and clubbed like seal
scraped me down to the bone
educational in it's way
built some character i daresay
but now i want to go home
now i wanna go home
i been chasing a big brass ring
don't care now if it's chrome
feeling nauseous for a while
i've been lost for a swedish mile
and now i wanna go home
now i wanna go home

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.
