I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
The bridge had gotten too serious. How about this one: a crow as a messenger from the beyond makes you look stupid, makes you feel conned you thought you were cunning, but now you look dumb bein' given the finger by a dead man's thumb
Post lesenNothing much to tell. I felt like rocking, I thrashed my guitar, I needed some lyrics, I wrote "hot stuff" - it took about 15 minutes: when I spotted you I didn't need a second look you were so hot no need to do it by the book we danced close I didn't...
Post lesenA minor edit: ... "where your wife might be in hiding" instead of ... "where your wife might have fled and be hiding" In my mind I can still make it match the meter, so it should work in a song as well.

Post lesenThere was not much spare time for indulging in my hobby, but I added a rhyme (down - town) in the chorus by changing the word order a bit: by rule of thumb a severed thumb stickin' out simply means thumbs down in the end for you this tiny part of your...
Post lesenI looked up phrases that contain the word 'thumb' on Phrasen.com and put down three that might fit in my song: rule of thumb to stick out like a sore thumb to give sb the thumbs up/down ... and I wrote this: by rule of thumb a severed thumb stickin' out...
Post lesenNow that I've decided what subject to write about I should gather a few ideas or basic concepts. Actually I copied lines of text when I first found an article about the thumb that fell from the sky. I googled "thumb" and "dropped" to find quite a few...
