Shine On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Safety pins
Holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair
You needn't care
You look beautiful all of the time
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Won't you shine, shine on?
Your magazines
At people at the seams
But you still read
I must admit
I don't believe in it
But I see how you get sucked in
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Won't you shine, shine on?
(Sha, la, la, la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Oh, won't you shine?
Shine on
Because you're not done
Why do you bite the hand
That feeds you?
Why do you
Why do you bite the hand
That feeds you?
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Won't you shine, shine on?
(Sha, la, la, la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Won't you shine, shine on?
Safety pins
Holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair
You needn't care
You look beautiful all of the time
