High and Dry Lyrics

(Spencer-Eccles)
Fire gets fire, you know that I am burning up
You want it all, lover's liar
But it's too late now to make a new start
Night stalker, dirty talker
Leave me with a losing hand
You got me high & dry
You shake me up then you take me for a ride
You got me high & dry
You showed me how to play & then you lit the fire
You got me high & dry
I beg you to come clean, you push me round with loving sin
Living in a daydream, pick me up and I lose again
Night stalker, dirty talker
Leave me with a losing hand
You got me high & dry
You shake me up then you take me for a ride
You got me high & dry
You showed me how to play & then you lit the fire
You got me high & dry

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.
