Skooma Lyrics

My stoicism will be the death of me,
as I lie on my back and I watch TV.
And as I die in another Reichstag fire,
I’ll say to myself: “This is meant to be”.

(I don’t want to go.)

Love! Love London!
Love! Love London!
Love! Love London!

Love! Love London!
Love! Love London!
Love! Love London!

My stoicism will be the death of me,
as I lie on my back and I watch TV.
And as I die in another Reichstag fire,
I’ll say to myself: “This is meant to be”.

…and I should have gone to Durham,
and I should have never smoked,
'cause these essays keep on coming,
and my life’s a fucking joke.

I am the ungrateful son of the Hampshire middle classes,
I’ll do my shit degree - and hope to God I pass my classes.

Ride on the waves,
Ride on the waves,
Ride on the waves,
Ride on the waves.

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.
