Naked Lyrics

POEM

I'm naked at an awards ceremony
I'm hiding behind Jarvis Cocker and he's eating canapés
I've got a laser pen
and I'm shining it on Salman Rushdie's forehead like that
Missing Brian May's hair by a fraction
Yeah, I'm naked, but nobody seems to mind
Record company execs tuck into their meat and two veg
I wince but carry on with a tall story about tapestry
The theme tune to " Howard's Way "
Plays gleefully in the background
And everybody taps their feet
Meat Loaf wets himself he's gotta leave
So I'm asked to fill his place in the show
I duet with a chauffeur
Who's driving Whitney Houston or somebody like that
We sing " Abide With Me " at the top of our voices
To my surprise I get an erection
Not a full-on erection like Jeff Stryker
But a timid Aled Jones sort of affair
Anyway, my singing partner is appalled and leaves the stage
Through the medium of dance
I explain what Shirley Bassey's back garden looks like
Brings the house down
Everyone gets cold and leaves

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.
