- Post subject: Lyrics You Wrote
|
Maybe a topic like this has been made already, but I was just wondering right now about your lyrics if you're writing a song or have written one already. I have just started writing a song, and I've come up with the first two lines,
"And in came the funeral man, and he asked
Who's the dead one in here?"
It'll probably change soon, and I'm thinking about how to continue with the song, I have some ideas in my mind about it.......so, anyway, what about you guys?

I like the concept, I think you could really elaborate in a funny way in the lyrics on what makes someone "dead". Of course, as Kurt Cobain famously stated, "music comes first, then the lyrics". So put something together in Garageband and show it to me 
Anyway, here are some famous lyrics that have been written for Charlie N. George:
| Quote: | "Cubbie is my favorite dog
Yes, he is my favorite dog
He's a rapper all the time
He makes songs be sublime
Cubbie |
Here's another lyric that my brother wrote in his love letter to Bernie Madoff, called "Master of Money":
| Quote: | | "You ain't even worth one Zimbabwe Dollar" |
And another, this time from "(Ambition Makes you Look) Pretty Ugly":
| Quote: | This is like prog metal,
This is like prog metal,
This is Like Prog metal,
IT STINKS!!!! |
....Yeah, George and I normally completely freestyle our lyrics on all our recordings. Lyric writing is for pansies like Bono and Sting.

Right, I was thinking of that.....
As I said, I don't have any idea right now.

ha, I like the idea of the thread.
The opening line of your song is really cool (like Highway 61 style Bob Dylanesque maybe) I guess it all depends where it leads.
I actually have reams of lyrics but I'm probably not gonna post them because
A) 86% of them are godawful
B) the 14% that's "good" I guess I'd rather keep it...secret
okay well here's an example of type a (the awful lyrics) written 6 years ago now, an excerpt from the long forgotten Translucent

I couldn’t focus anyway
I tried to change the way I saw
But I just walked into a wall |
 wooo! alright.
