Skinhead Girl Lyrics

Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl

There she was
Stepping down the high street, yeah
Her hair cropped short, my bootsie [?] girl, oh yeah
I couldn't believe my eyes
Like a story I've been told
She was my height, my style, my size
She wore braces and blue jeans

Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
She was mine

I made up my mind
I'm gonna be courageous, yeah
She held my hand
I'm gonna treat her gentle
She looked at me and smiled
I know that was for real
She was my height, my style, my size
She wore braces and blue jeans

Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl

Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl
Skinhead girl

I made up my mind
I'm gonna be courageous, yeah
She held my hand
I'm gonna treat her gentle
She looked at me and smiled
I know that was for real
She was my height, my style, my size
She wore braces and blue jeans

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.
