Section 34 (Popular by Design) Lyrics

There was a time and a place
When I could not find you or recognise your face
I was just standing there
When you walked on by
Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

Now it’s the morning time
And I’m looking out and I realise my fate
I was just standing there
When you walked on by
Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

There was a time and a place
When I could not find you or recognise your face
I was just standing there
When you walked on by
Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

There was a time and a place
When I could not find you or recognise your face
I was just standing there
When you walked on by
Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

Now it’s the morning time
And I’m looking out and I realise my fate
I was just standing there
When you walked on by
Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

There was a time and a place
When I could not find you or recognise your face
I was just standing there
When you walked on by
Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

You know that I know that you’re popular by design
You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

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.
