Lip Service Lyrics

Second hand telegram / lip service legal love
Second hand out of town telegram / lip service legal love
So you're the lawyer's wife / how's life on lakeshore road
Furs and boats caviar and moats / and your fat kitten
Is teasing your aunt / in the hall / with the liver hors d'oeuvres
She gives her guest(s) / when on call
Ahhhhh you should be down under / pushin' up wheat for the hungry
Big revolutions in my black book / written down in our teens
I gave them to krushchev / I lent them to lennon
Second hand out of town telegram / lip service legal love
Lip service second hand out of town / lip service love
So you're the canker banker / hours nine to five on fantasies of gold
Vets cheques cigars nassau / and your harness horse / is cold cash
'cause the drugs you use work fast / burned off and out before the race track
Urine test
Ahhhhh you should be down under / pushin' up wheat for the hungry
Socialutions / written down in our teens
I mailed them to kennedy / I typed them for tito
Only your right hand / knows you're left handed

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.
