Flavor Lyrics

Feel so good about a piece of trash
the birds are drunk, they're drinking from a glass,
the worms are hungry, looking for my guitar,
white lightnin' and old fruit jar
i get juiced from africa to spain
ghetto blastin' down the lane,
the pigs flush trains and the sycamore shades
dig my grave with a silver spade,
makin' a list, takin requests
ripping the blues out of the your vest
strychnine
hit it with a club, stripmine
you felt the plugs
when you dig up the path, the (?)
beat your fists through the static and noise
cause i got the blues, and i can't be satisfied..
get the blues, gonna catch that train and ride..
{scream}
yeah
Jon Spencer: you got it!
is that good?
Jon Spencer: you got it!!
alright, sh-, lemme- you want me to do one more?
Jon Spencer: you got the flavor!
you want me to do one more?
Jon Spencer: you got the flavor!
you got the flavor
Jon Spencer: you got the flavor!
you got the flavor!

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.
