Schumacher the Champagne Lyrics

Schumacher the Champagne
My teeth have never looked quite this yellow and my body never quite this fat
I'll pay well over the odds just to have some teenage abandoned bar
I hit the ice of the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate

But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
I just take my thoughts into the centre of town
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place

We used to set ourselves on fire when chemistry was twice a week
And now I pay for it over a counter whilst they become fitness freaks
My bad habits are taking over all the good left inside
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down

I just take my thoughts into the centre of town
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate

Oh take me as I am
Oh take me as I am
Oh take me as I am
or not at all

Or not at all
Or not at all
Or not at all
Or not at all
Or not at all

Here Comes The Anxiety

Schumacher the Champagne
My teeth have never looked quite this yellow and my body never quite this fat
I'll pay well over the odds just to have some teenage abandoned bar
I hit the ice of the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate

But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
I just take my thoughts into the centre of town
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place

We used to set ourselves on fire when chemistry was twice a week
And now I pay for it over a counter whilst they become fitness freaks
My bad habits are taking over all the good left inside
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down

I just take my thoughts into the centre of town
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate

Oh take me as I am 
Oh take me as I am 
Oh take me as I am 
or not at all

Or not at all 
Or not at all
Or not at all
Or not at all
Or not at all

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.
