Who's Good At Writing Song Lyrics?

OFF TOPIC

Okay, I haven't collaborated with anybody in a long time but I'd like to try
something fun.

Give me a lyric. Just one line. I'll fill in the details. If you want, give me an
original song title.

If I pick yours, I'll write the rest of the lyric, compose the music, if it's any
good, submit it to publishers under both our names and if by some miracle,
something comes of it, I'll split all the profits 50/50.

I'm just looking for ideas but am willing to compensate big time for a line.

Hmmm....big time for a line.

I like it. Anyway, hit me with your best and we'll see what comes of it.

Give me a bit of time, Steven. I used to write the lyrics for the bands I was in.

Hmmm....

Rock on!

Dream Or Die

Rock My Heart

Won't Look At Her Again

Getting Old Ain't The Same As Dyin'

Those are a few titles, next I'll see if I can come up with a few lines (but not for those titles).

I usually like to hear the music first, but I like the possibilities. Each one of the above could lends itself to a nice lyrical twist in the last verse.

Rock on!
Michael

Don't know your sound either - but this could go a few ways.

life don't always go just how it'd seem
Sometimes you got to live for the dream

I'm not a song writer but here's what I came up with.

Everyone keeps trying to bring me down
They tell me to turn my life around
But they don't see it the way that I do
I live for myself and not by their rules

It's 4 am here, must have bed on my mind!

  This is just too much fun...! (apologies is any of these happen to be lyrics already)
  
  "They say life sucks, but I know better"
  
  "I see the way your eyes follow me, all the way round the room"
  
  "A webcam is the only way be can be together right now"
  
  "I'd like to pour a glass of champagne and toast your memory"
  
  "I wish I'd kept that knife in the drawer, I thought as the jail door slammed"
  
  "A thousand hugs from a stranger can't match just one from you"
  
  Thanks

Here are a few lyrical snippets.

"Please" is all that was said.

Love thy neighbor, but don't get caught.

Cold news came my way.

Sensing changes in my past.

Rock on!
Michael

You'd need a coal miner to find her vagina
And the hairs of her dickey di-do hung down to her knees
If she were my daughter I'd have them cut shorter
And the hairs of her dickey di-do hung down to her knees

Cheers & Beers

Endless rain taps softly on her widowed brow
The sorrowful pain what choices she had now
Without even thinking she made a decision
Her life would go on, no more head on collisions
She knew she was the only thing that stopped herself from moving forward
the memories of her man had the the power and taught her
that even though life may seem to be passing her by
the only real reason for life was to ask herself why
- Thanks
