The Rev Gary Davis Lyrics

Drinking thieves vinegar like pizzas in a pod
in the heat of December and talking to God
with crackly voices over stylus tongues
through silver speakers
you did the greatest magic trick I've ever seen
on the back seat in a waking dream
you plucked ten pence from behind your ear
and made your clothes all disappear

so it's fuck you and fuck all your friends
isn't that how these things are supposed to end?
my dumb old vinyl records melting on your stove
my dumb old vinyl records melting
you did the greatest magic trick I've ever seen
on the back seat in a waking dream
you plucked ten pence from behind your ear
and made your clothes all disappear

God bless the Reverend Gary Davis
God bless the Reverend Gary Davis
God bless the Reverend Gary Davis
God bless

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.
