Lyrics..does a set format exist?
« on: February 19, 2007, 04:33:23 PM »
Recently I have been interested in listening to my favorite bands/music artists and writing out the lyrics since most of the songs are not on some big lyric sites. As I like to know what my favorite songs say, I will be putting these deciphered lyrics on my site somewhat as a little fan database.

Anyway I was wondering if there is a set format for lyrics, I notice a few sites just do stuff like this:

(Just an example to convey what Im saying:)

Now how they seperate the sentences I'm not sure as the original song there really is no pause after each of those?

I also notice people write out the chorus once and just put [chorus x times] if said again, this makes sense to me.

Ill write out some for a song Ive been listening to and post it soon.

I don't think one exists.  I'd imagine just use breaks where it feels like the song changes pace or direction etc.

So here is my first attempt, since I have the acapella of this song it was pretty easy, but as per the TOS I cant post that so here is the youtube video for reference:



(im doing the whole album I just choose this song first since its the one with a video)



Quote
(yeah thank you, thank you)

shit gets hot in the city where the buses rule the road
and theres people tryin to get me for the only things I own
and if it dont change tommorow and I have a good feeling it wont (probably wont)
then Im gonna ride I-5 all the way back home, hey

When I die bury my bones underneath my grandmas home
and when Im gone youll still hear all my words so loud and clear
so loud and clear, so loud and clear
all my words so loud and clear,
so loud and clear, so loud and clear,
all my words so loud and clear


A lot goes on in the city, there are people covered with scars
they have closed themselves off completely, like houses covered with bars
and If I dont win the lotto, la-da-di-di-fuck-ity da
then Im gonna have to ride I-5 right back to the start

(chorus)


( oh oh oh )

people die in the city, where the fire burns in the streets
and the situations get sticky, when the choppers fly over me
and If I dont take the high road and theres a pretty good chance I wont (wont)
then Im gonna have to ride I-5 all the way back to Chico, hey!

Where the grass looks greener but I love the pavement
i love the way it feels underneath my feet dont replace it,
this is what I know in my nose, full of exhaust
in and out of my lungs and I forget to cough
with my mouth on a butt, second hand  for the infants
fools beg for a buck, trying to make a difference
never, the weather is cold and they the illest
eatin' out the dumpster and chillin with the pigeons
a bullet almost hit us and these cats got religious
strippers feed they children, I burn my fingers
tryin to get high, tryin to get by
trying not to let drip of salt fall out of my eye
its my fault voila, they the fiends of the block
never seen with a pair of socks like it or not
smellin old, they the ones many forgot
the ones many forgot, sleepin on shadows and rocks so

(chorus)

I try to get away
Just for a couple days
I try to get away
Get the hell out L.A
And I dont know what Im waiting for
And I feel like Iam digging a hole

The only part Im not one hundred percent sure(other then typos) is that little la di fucking dah part because its said pretty fast and isnt a real word really.
