Long Face Lyrics

I'd lost the plot and roamed around
Looked in the shops and hit the town
My head was stuffed with words and aches
I felt so rough and out of shape
The clouds puffed up like bags of sweets
That's just my luck, I couldn't eat
My guts were full of churning fear
With so much bull I had to clear
When she said stuff yourself, don't be a clown
Paint your wagon and take yourself right out of town
What's this long face that keeps on
Hanging around

She wouldn't say, I couldn't tell
Was this the day I'd go to hell
I sulked around in such a mood
Until I found the one I'd screwed
And then it came as clear as mud
I was the pain that boiled the blood
And saw the faults where there were none
Deep in the vaults where love begun

When she said stuff yourself, don't be a clown
Paint your wagon and take yourself right out of town
What's this long face that keeps on
Hanging around
Then she said get a grip and shake this mood
Get a life and find yourself some attitude
What's this long face that keeps on
Hanging around

I'd lost the plot and roamed around 
Looked in the shops and hit the town 
My head was stuffed with words and aches 
I felt so rough and out of shape 
The clouds puffed up like bags of sweets 
That's just my luck, I couldn't eat 
My guts were full of churning fear 
With so much bull I had to clear 
When she said stuff yourself, don't be a clown 
Paint your wagon and take yourself right out of town 
What's this long face that keeps on 
Hanging around

She wouldn't say, I couldn't tell 
Was this the day I'd go to hell 
I sulked around in such a mood 
Until I found the one I'd screwed 
And then it came as clear as mud 
I was the pain that boiled the blood 
And saw the faults where there were none 
Deep in the vaults where love begun

When she said stuff yourself, don't be a clown 
Paint your wagon and take yourself right out of town 
What's this long face that keeps on 
Hanging around 
Then she said get a grip and shake this mood 
Get a life and find yourself some attitude 
What's this long face that keeps on 
Hanging around

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.
