Giftshoppe Lyrics

cleaning up the mobile home
all of this has got to go
markers stain the cardboard signs
littering the two-lane road

i contributed to this
giftshoppe fodder
monster myth
when the feeling leaves my arms
i'll forget but not forgive

never let your drunken heads
rest on obscene old man beds

you perverted aging fuck
what age did your mind get stuck?
why are your teeth just like mine?
and you wave back but my hand goes up

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.

i'm pretty sure its "contributed" and not "contribute it," and it sounds like "you perverted aging fuck, what age did your mind get stuck?" especially here: http://youtu.be/SAmGfsItcrk

either way another good job interpreting it. sometimes i wish they would just fucking include lyrics in their cds.

Also the last line is:

and you wave back when my hand goes up.

It means he's looking at himself in the mirror
