Ok, no idea if this is the right place for it, but I'm too lazy to think about it, so move it or whatever, kthnx.
Right, simple idea.
1. Get your lyrical heads on, or borrow someone else's head
2. Take a line from a song you like, and another line from a song you like, and put them together like part of a verse.
3. Repeat with different lines from different songs
4. Repeat again.
5. Keep repeating until you end up with something that's like a song and you think it would sound good.
6. Post, with the songs and bands you got the lyrics from, matching the order in which the lines go in the song. (See mine for an example)
Rules :
One line from one song, no repetition unless it's lines next to each other and they're repeated next to each other in the actual song.
You can have more than one song from the same band, but not more than one line from the same song.
Try and make it a reasonable length, maybe at least two verses, if you can manage a chorus then I shall worship you forever, but the no repetition rule still applies.
Enjoy?
Here's mine :
<b>My Ultimate Song</b>
This is fact not fiction
Don’t be scared of anything at all
Your embrace is waiting
So stay with me
So I can declare my independance
And get it all cleared up
I'm still hoping tommorow feels like this
So for one moment in time, you'd find that you're mine
Conspiracy, mystery, the air she breathes
Maybe we'll have one last caress
Maybe I could swim
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when.
Strike the chord that I desire most
This is the rise and fall
'Cause I don't wanna be your hero
But in truth I'm lost for words
What's the difference? Sail away
But I will come back for you
[Bridge] / [Solo]
Somewhere a clock is ticking
But youth forgot the time
Save us
'Cause that's what you get
I'm in love and always will be
I'm in love [Repeat & Fade Out]
