Island Crimes Lyrics

What's that noise that I hear?
Can you hear it, Kid Marine?

Read my pictures
Distribute the news worth, oaf
Try on my crime
Bedazzlement made affordable
Life crimes
Island crimes
Bottled offspring
Life in a minute
All these I bring to you
To you and what's more
Anyone can finger a target
Frame a brick sky and be off
An assignment of models
And also atrocities
Believe in me as I see you
See my story on the spot
Wolfing the cream skin for all the right stuff
Read my pictures
Distribute the news worth, oaf
Try on my crime

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.
