How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Arctic Monkeys say about "Snap Out of It"?
Genius Answer

I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a song called “Snap Out of It” already. That was dead in the water a bit, that tune. It was just the germ of an idea. And then Matt, our drummer, broke his hand, and we weren’t going to lose two weeks, so just to keep working on ideas and stuff, we got our friend Pete Thomas, who plays drums for Elvis Costello, to come down to the studio a bit and play along with us. And if it hasn’t been for Pete’s enthusiasm for that “Snap Out of It” idea, I don’t think it would have come to fruition. I owe him one for that. He was just like, “Oh, yeah! This is great!” and he was singing it. And we went and rewrote it. Sometimes you’re like, “I don’t think anyone has written a song called ‘Snap Out of It.’ There needs to be one of those.”
