Me and Liza Lyrics

[Verse 1]:
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Famous 'till the day that we die
Mamma made it so hard to try
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Daddy writing unanswered love letters why?
Come on Liza, give me a try

[Chorus]:
Blowing on the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame

[Verse 2]:
Energiser baby's on fire
No one's gonna hatchet you down
Terminator, thief of desire
No one's getting out of this town

[Chorus]:
Poking at the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame

[Verse 3]:
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Happy that we're now such good friends
Looking forward, forward to seeing you
Love like ours we cannot pretend

[Chorus]:
Choking on the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame

[Outro]:
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I

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.
