Something in My Ear Lyrics

I got Persian rugs
I got exterminated bugs
I got a house that goes from over there to here
Yeah, my basement's full of fine imported beer.
But I got somethin' -- somethin' in my ear
I got ducks that float
I got a power boat
I got a wife who's almost got her MBA
In every argument I always get my way
But when I walk my dog, he always runs away
One inch away from heaven
I'm on a train that's bound for glory
But as I ride those shining rails
I always bite my nails
I got tubeless tires
I got phones without wires
I got a hundred-year-old bonsai redwood tree
I've had successful arthroscopic surgery (on his knee)
But last Friday a pigeon pooped on me
One inch away from heaven
I've almost made it to Nirvana
It's the little things that teach
Perfection's out of reach
I got a way with girls
I got natural curls
I got a straight man when I want to take a fall
There's an autographed photo of the Pope on my wall
But when I phone him, he never returns my call
But when I phone him, he never returns my call
But when I phone that Pope, he never returns
my call (Pope John Paul)

Weekend In Cincinnati

I got Persian rugs
I got exterminated bugs
I got a house that goes from over there to here
Yeah, my basement's full of fine imported beer.
But I got somethin' -- somethin' in my ear
I got ducks that float
I got a power boat
I got a wife who's almost got her MBA
In every argument I always get my way
But when I walk my dog, he always runs away
 One inch away from heaven
 I'm on a train that's bound for glory
 But as I ride those shining rails
I always bite my nails
I got tubeless tires
I got phones without wires
I got a hundred-year-old bonsai redwood tree
I've had successful arthroscopic surgery (on his knee)
But last Friday a pigeon pooped on me
 One inch away from heaven
 I've almost made it to Nirvana
 It's the little things that teach
 Perfection's out of reach
I got a way with girls
I got natural curls
I got a straight man when I want to take a fall
There's an autographed photo of the Pope on my wall
But when I phone him, he never returns my call
But when I phone him, he never returns my call
But when I phone that Pope, he never returns
 my call (Pope John Paul)

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.
