All Excess Lyrics

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty and I didn't know why

I could hardly whisper
I could barely sing a note
You were there in spirit
Telling me, "I told you so"
I told you so

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty and I didn't know why
Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty, yeah
I felt dirty, yeah

Drown, drown out the best parts
Down, down, down the drain

You knew I was lying
You could hear it in my voice
I couldn't say what I was thinking
Or if I had a choice
I didn't have a choice

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty and I didn't know why
Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty, yeah
I felt dirty, yeah

Drown, drown out the best parts
Down, down, down the drain
Drown, drown out the best parts
Down, down, down the drain

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty and I didn't know why
Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty, yeah
I felt dirty, yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright

Drown, drown out the best parts
Down, down, down the drain

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty and I didn't know why
Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
I felt dirty, yeah
I felt dirty, yeah

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.
