Dallas 1 PM [BBC Session 1982] [*] Lyrics

A crowded main street
The scene was set
The checked out the view
Turned the radio on

Open the case
Assemble the gun
Laid out ready
For the President's run

The world was shocked that fateful day
A young man's life was blown away, away
In Dallas one pm

White hot lead in the back of the head
Screaming confusion
Shots ring the air
Cadillac racing
Cops on the run
They couldn't believe that the President's hit

The shooting's done
Assassins run
Is he dead?
No one will say

Around the world
The news was flashed
We sat and watched
Your tragic history

The world was shocked that fateful day
A young man's life was blown away, away
In Dallas one pm

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.
