I Thought Lyrics

I Thought
Written By Bryan Ferry & Brian Eno
I thought - you'd be my streetcar named desire
My way - my taste of wine
I thought - you'd be that flame within the fire
One dream that just won't die

All night - looking for new love
Impossible true love - nothing at all
Looking for new gods - looking for new blood
Looking for you

I thought - I'd find you walking in the rain
Just like a wayward child
I thought - I'd find you calling out my name
So foolish is my pride

All night - looking for new love
Impossible true love - nothing at all
Looking for new ways - looking for strange blood
Looking for you

I thought - I'd be your streetcar named desire
Your man - the one you seek
I thought - I'd take you deep within myself
Subtitles when we speak

Hold on - the flower says reach out
The thunder says no shout is greater than mine
Listen and hold on - till the day fades out
Smothered in gold

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.
