Lovely Day Lyrics

At the station, at the border an egression to the exterior law and order
upward plantation
i remember your red dress
like a field full o' poppy
you were making me dreamy
stunned by a love got to do what your head says
could not let it stop me
they got one leaving today
and it's going away
got my feet in the stirrup
it can be kind of banal
but i dream of your red dress
riding down these dry canals
oh baby it's not europe
but i'm sending you money
i'm sending you lots of money
so you can buy a ticket
you will be my martian honey all the day
they got one leaving today
and it's going away.

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.

Its about a guy who travels to Mars, but its so desolate and boring there that all he can do is think about his girl and being with her again, so hes sending her money to come live with him on Mars.

just an aside but think its cool how the ending of the song blends into the beginning of next song "Motorway to Roswell"

I always (still do, actually) thought the line was "Thank God we're leaving today," like they just want the hell out of wherever. Mexico, it sounds like, but Puerto Rico probably, knowing Frank Black.
