New Street, You Can Take It Lyrics

Caught you slow dancing when the house lights came up
He’s only looking out for you/sure
You think yr pretty subtle yr a satellite crashing
I know you couldn't stop
Mindful of the witch trials there’ll be rumours tracked like concrete cracks and every time you say the words they mean less
Think you've pretty subtle, yr a satellite crashing
I know you couldn't stop
And all those empty bottles are testament to something you long or stopped needing a long time ago
Every glass smash a sympathy for someone e you know
You kinda always know when it’s over
But you still carry on.

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.
