Special People Lyrics

special people all the time
special people on my mind
special people burnin' white
special people gettin' all uptight
special people kiss my soul
special people take control
special people lick the ground
special people run up and down
special people squeeze the breeze
special people slash their knees
special people soak up fire
special people climbin' higher
special people create belief
special people steal some beef
special people don't need your plans
special people got recycling cans
special people got songs to sing
special people are happening
special people stompin' fast
special people haulin' ass
special people are so sincere
special people got special beer
special people flick the grease
special people come in peace
special people will scrimp and save
special people will never bathe
special people in hot pursuit
special people got the boot
special people sleep in moss
special people got the sauce
special people open wide
special people ain't satisfied

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.

A song from Beck's first and mostly forgotten album, "Golden Feelings." Like every song on that album, this song is from the point of view of someone who's slowly losing touch with reality, because their life totally sucks. If you look at Golden Feelings in its entirety from that perspective, what sounds like the mad ramblings of a psycho seem to make more sense.
