Stand And Deliver Lyrics

stand and deliver
im the dandy highway man
and your too scared to mention
i spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
the devil take your stereo your record collection
the way you look you qualify for next years old age pension
stand and deliver
money or your life
cry in the mirror
money in your life
Im the dandy highway man
so sick of easy fashion
the clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
so whats the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking
its kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake hes making
stand and deliver
money in your life
cry in the mirror
money in your life
even though you fool your soul
you conscience will be mine -mine
aah aah
were the dandy highway men
so tired of excuses
of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz looses
were the dandy highway men
and heres your invitation
to free yourself for the other one
and join our insect nation
stand and deliver
money in your life
cry in the mirror
money in your life
even though you fool your soul
your conscience will be mine
la diddly la qua qua/stand and deliver

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've never heard the Adam Ant original, but this is my favorite Sugar Ray song. The lyrics don't matter, it's the irreverant vocalizing and the totally awesome music.
