Bottom of the Soul Lyrics

I'm sitting on the bottom of the soul
My pocket's filled with nothing but a hole

But I haven't got the time for better days
If I can't eat the cake, I'll lick the bowl
Can't you see what I'm trying to say
I live on the bottom of the soul

Me...that's me and my sympathizing sounds
Me...the dude who wouldn't take it lying down

But I haven't got the time for better days
If I can't eat the cake, I'll lick the bowl
Can't you see what I'm trying to say
I live on the bottom of the soul

Tears...I cry in seclusion all alone
Tears...I haven't got a house or I'd go home
Smiles...does anybody have a smile for sale
Smiles...If I tried it on my own I'd only fail!

But I haven't got the time for better days
If I can't eat the cake, I'll lick the bowl
Can't you see what I'm trying to say
I live on the bottom of the soul

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.
