Ice Nice Lyrics

You look at him twice
Think of how nice
His one on one face
He promised no bite
And finish a fight
"Place coin in slot provided"
Ice, Nice, everything's twice as bright with money in your hands
Ice, Nice, everything's twice as bright with money in your hands
How long have you been listening?
How long have you been listening?
Three in a row
Is your reason to go on
Spending your money
You've been here before
You've spent a lot more
This makes it less funny
How long have you been listening?
How long have you been listening?
Just a few feet away
Just a little to pay
You thought you were cured
Now you've been lured here
Face your own desire
To this smiling toy
Which brings you the joy
No harm just to enquire
Ice, Nice, everything's twice as bright with money in your hands
(repeat)
How long have you been listening?
(repeat)
Just a few feet away
Just a little to pay

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.

This is a haunting little song, a magnificent example of late 1970s Moog synth-based progressive rock. The first part sounds like the soundtrack of a suspense movie, perhaps portraying a museum robbery... but the subject is, at least in my opinion, about somebody addicted to gambling, or to slot machines, at least. I do suspect that Jim Crichton, the song's author, is being decidedly obtuse and ambiguous as to not give the real subject away. The second part has a nice synth solo; the song speeds up to one of Saga's by now legendary synth + guitar epic endings.
