Every Inch Of You Lyrics

Baby I was a loser
Several years on the dole
An Englishman with a very high voice
Doing rock and roll

There are seas of sleeveless T-shirts
And queues around the block
And every man wanna try
Wants to
Suck my cock!

I’m in a band with my brother and my two best mates
So I never leave the house without my SM58

Every inch of you
You know I’m gonna work it
Every inch of you
Alright!

I wanted to be a doctor
I wanted to be a vet
Until I heard "Communication breakdown"
On a TDK D90 cassette
My entire adult life was spent defying the man
I got the whole arena eating out of my hand

Every inch of you
You know I’m gonna work it
Every inch of you

I’ve attended my last lectures
Slept through my last class
You can take your qualifications
And shove them up your ass

Every inch of you
You know I’m gonna work it
Every inch of you
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Every inch of you
Every inch of you

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.

Second line should be "Several years on the dole". Dole is a slang word for British unemplyment benefit. It also makes more sense and rhymes with the rest of the verse.

The end of the second verse should be "And every man, woman and child wants to/Suck..." Ill-advised lyrics, but there you go. It makes sense at least.

"You can take your qualifications/And shove them up your..." not 'ass', ARSE, which rhymes with Justin's pronunciation of CLASS.
