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 [?]

“Anything We Want” is the ninth track on Fiona Apple’s fourth studio album *The Idler Wheel….

About the song instrumentation, Fiona recalled to Pitchfork:

On “Anything We Want”, I’ve been playing this stupid pipe thing live, but that sound was actually me at my desk with a pair of scissors, a tin full of burnt-cedar sashays, and a plastic cup. I was hitting everything with scissors and the cedar was flying all over the place."

The song was performed on the “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” show on June 18, 2012.
