Lepers, Thieves and Whores Lyrics

Lovely sons and daughters
This ol' life can get you down
As the days shrink one inch shorter
Keep your eyes glued to the ground

Now tuck your wings behind you
'Cause the wind can be so strong
Grab your things and mind you
All the kids can be so wrong
Bring papers and please help me off the floor
And sing for lepers, thieves and whores

Hey there granddad don't be bitter
All your fortunes are scattered on the sand
For sure is one thing she's turned out better
Because she knows she's in good hands

Now tuck your wings behind you
'Cause the wind can be so strong
Grab your things and mind you
All the kids can be so wrong
Bring papers and please help me off the floor
And sing for lepers, thieves and whores

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.
