Things Keep Falling Off Buildings Lyrics

Things keep falling off buildings
Things keep falling into my path
I keep on dodging projectiles
They fall from scaffolds on building sites

Falling before me to save
Scraping for forgiveness
You tell me that
I know and you know we're the same

Sitting up here with my pear tree
I piss on everybody who I should see
I'm twice as angry as you are
You're half as happy as I could be

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 yet another great B-side from one of the best british bands ever! Have a lookie on KaZaA/morpheus/grokster/other P2P programs for a copy, I'm not sure if its still there but good luck if you can get a copy! ^_^ There's always getting the original EPs... but can you afford the crazy prices?
