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 [?]

Genius Annotation

“Riverman” was released as the third single off Chasing Yesterday, May 11th 2015.

Noel got inspired to write the music for this song after a night out in LA with Morrissey. Morrissey had brought his own mixtape with him to the bar they were at, and one of the songs, “Pinball” by Bryan Protheroe, inspired Noel.
