One Thing That Was Bothering Me Lyrics

Nazi's and Morris dancers
Cookery and home improvement shows
All mysteries to me
All mysteries to me
Oh yeah

Gymnasiums amaze me
And building schemes confuse you
Riverdance, new romance
Plenty much amusement
These modern mysteries
Are just not my cup of cha

Surely we all agree, one thing unites us all
Stand up and be counted
You know who you are
You know who you are

We all love Columbo x4
All love Columbo
We all love Columbo x4

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.

@Louisa, this time it is a not that rare B-Side. I really like that song, it is kinda sleepy and minimalistic and shows quite funny, what Guy thinks about TV...
