In Defence Lyrics

I don’t know why it is you point at me that way
I know I have not sinned
(At least not in my eyes!)
Why can’t you all just lead your own sweet lives
He never touched me that way
He never came as I lay
He never even appeared to my eyes
What more do you want me to say?
Will you please listen while I speak in my defence
For you are all mistaken
(Or you are surely mad)
Would you condemn a girl you think so bad?
These things you say I’ve done are quite hard to believe
Been sleeping with the Devil
(Suppose you know him well)
I guess you think I’m going to burn in hell!

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.

I think that the song is mocking the old myth about witches having relations with Satan.

I agree. I see a hint of The Salem Witch Trials here, though that may simply be because they were the most famous persecution of non-protestants. It goes beyond just the devil being a Christian myth. She is accusing her accusers, supposed Christians who murdered dozens of innocents, of being in the service of evil.
