Tropical Chancer Lyrics

He'll take the money and the food that's in your hand
But you have to understand that he's a dreamer
Living your life within a mile you could believe
This place turns honest men to thieves

And I
Could see it in his eyes
He was the type
To sail off in the night

I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn’t know he was a tropical chancer

He'll trade your love in for the things he's never seen
The places he has never been
Oh, but remember he is just a good pretender
And he doesn’t give his love away for free

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.
