Here in This Town Lyrics

Here in this town
They all all know your name
But the way they treat you
They ought to be ashamed
It's getting hard to hold your head up here in
This town

[Chorus]
Turn around
Turn around
You don't want to see us now
I'm not sure one righteous man could be found
Here in this town

Here in this town
They all say your name
Sunday, it's holy
Monday profane
How long before you bring this place to the ground

[Repeat Chorus]

Here in this town
They all know the truth
Quote verse and chapter
But they don't know you
It's living happy ever after here in this town
Yeah
Ooh, yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

Here in this town
Here in this town, Ooh
Yeah, here in this town

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.
