a quick one in between: don't call me by my name

The idea came up while I was swimming my 1,000 meters in the indoor pool. Actually, there was just this single line "don't call me by my name". And I remembered the German fairy tale called "Rumpelstilzchen". Anyway, I decided to write something around or about this line.

Here's the text - it's one of my 'episodical' lyrics, i.e. the verses deal with similar situations or moods in a way yet they don't tell a story:

we kids were playing hide and seek
yet you had been excluded
strolling 'round you spotted me
I just thought "well, screw it"

don't call me by my name
don't think it's all the same
'cause little things can matter
call me anything you want
but don't call me by my name

we just had this little fling
no love and no commitment
leaving I said "just one thing -
remember our agreement"

don't call me by my name
don't think it's all the same
'cause little things can matter
call me anything you want
but don't call me by my name

I tore out your fingernail
I dunk your head in water
you would not give us all detail
'bout who'd decreed the slaughter

don't call me by my name
don't think it's all the same
'cause little things can matter
call me anything you want
but don't call me by my name

now speak your lines
or throw some dust
upon my wooden casket
leave off the stone
and spare your prayers
sweep me under the carpet

don't call me by my name
don't think it's all the same
'cause little things can matter
call me anything you want
but don't call me by my name

I referred to all rhyming dictionaries - online and printed - I could come up with to find a rhyme for "casket". All included the word "basket" that seemed of no use at all. In the end I found "carpet", so you could say that the most interesting line in the whole song actually comes from http://www.rhymer.com/!
