Harmless Monster Lyrics

I used to be the son or the daughter of
a last named Charlotte
Now's I'm humbug and I'm harlot
Harmless monster with flowers in your hair
By the roadside, in the nighttime
I'm hardly even there
A blurry sudden change of color
It's your eyes who deceive you
I was an angel, someone's sweet thing
With flowers in my hair
'Round the corner, flash of silver
And it's alright, to recognize me
It's alright to recognize me
Call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me
Call out my nameless

Graveless diggers... That's me

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.
