Long Live The King Lyrics

Say what you're gonna say
and do what you're gonna do
I can't believe what's got into you
The day is long and the night is quick
They're dying young, the poor, the rich
I am poor, I am poor, I am poor

Say what you're gonna say
And do what you're gonna do
I can't believe what's got into you
The day is long and the night is quick
They're dying young before there is...
Blood from a stone, blood from a stone
Blood from a stone, stone, stone

Something special, something nice
Something pretty will suffice
Something simple, something nice
Something special, something light

Say what you're gonna say
And do what you're gonna do
I can't believe what's got into you
The day is long and the night is quick
They're dying young, the poor, the rich
Long live the king, long live the king
Long live the king, king, king

Something special, something nice
Something pretty shall suffice
Something simple, something nice
Something special, something light

Oh

I love you

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.
