Look, I'm just a pest and you're just perfect
which has only just become apparent
Don't put up with just what is second best
'cause you can make things happen

If you're not on form then I don't stand a chance
'cause this is what could be, but I'm not my best

Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line

Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line

Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line

If your drawing starts and I'm drawing shapes
which I know you drew 'cause I made mistakes
Now you're pulling stars and I'm pulling shapes
'cause I make mistakes happen

The trouble with you - you get it all wrong
'cause the trouble is with me, I say it all wrong

Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line

Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line

Please hold the line
Please hold the line
Please hold the line

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.
