On Tape Lyrics

I've got Falling And Laughing - the original Postcard version.
I've got The Pastels' Song For Children,
Sky Saxon's solo album. You want it, I got it - I'm talkin' 'bout everything.
All the Velvet Underground records... On Tape!
I was ligging with Mighty Mighty. I think they all really liked me.
But they're only after one thing: my 67 vox phantom 12-string (it's a copy)
You want it, I got it - I'm talkin' 'bout EVERYTHING.
I've got The Monkees' Head soundtrack... On Tape!
I sent for the Soup Dragons single, mail-order only.
£1.30 to Martin Whitehead, but it never ca-ame!
I rock out to Philip Spector [be my bay-bee!].
I've got everything by The Ronettes... On Tape!
On tape, I got it on tape, I've got it on tape.
On tape, I've got it on tape..... I've got it ON TAPE!
swansea rocks

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.
