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.
This song is actually a deep commentary on post-colonial shallowness of society, as repitition of emotion destroys itself and therefore gives rise to a newer, broader, yet somehow shallower blindness.

It's about some old folks without their teeth in, wanting to eat some wild honey pie I think.

Yep.

My daughter thinks this is the funniest song ever. She likes to dance to it.
Oh yeah, the reason this song is on the White Album is because Pattie Boyd Harrison liked it and wanted it on the album.
This is the weirdest Beatles' song I've ever heard, but the White Album is a great album despite the weird songs.
