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 [?]

On the line “How Scandinavian of me”:

We don’t like Scandinavian stuff in Iceland because they’re too organised. I mean, Icelandic people are really free, we have a bunch of anarchists of the Icelanders. We don’t like authorities, we don’t have an army, we don’t like schedules. Actually, we don’t know how to do schedules.
