Underneath the Arches Lyrics

The Ritz we never signed for
Savoys they can keep
There's only one place that we know
And that is where we sleep

Underneath the arches
We dream our dreams away (bon-bon-bo-da-be-do)
Underneath the arches (bon-bon-bo-di-da-bo)
On cobblestones we lay (bon-dan-bo-bo-ba-bo)
Back to back we're sleeping (bo-di-ba-bo-bo-bo-di-do)
Tired out and worn (bon-bo-do-bo-bo-di-do)
Sorry when the daylight comes creeping
Heralding the dawn

Sleeping when it's raining
And sleeping when it's fine
Trains rattling by above (bon-bo-bo-da-bi-da-bo)
Pavement is our pillow
Without a sheet we'll lay
Underneath the arches
We dream our dreams away

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.
