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...
I've written two verses. Although I checked my Penguin Rhyming Dictionary as well as RhymeZone.com they seemed to be of little help this time, or, more precisely, of none at all. I used dict.cc (my favorite online dictionary) and Google(!) to check expressions: "to get married to s.o." instead of "to marry s.o." which would not have fitted meter-wise; "to be in a fix"; "to go for a meal"; "very little". Google is my 'secret weapon' for finding out if phrases that I have in mind are commonly used.
what did you promise that girl?
that you'd get married to her?
did you tell her she's the love of your life?
how did you talk her around
and lured her into your bed?
did you mention that there is a wife?
does she know you're in a fix?
or does she think all is well,
that you're in line for a much better job?
who pays when you have a drink,
or when you go for a meal?
can she tell how very little you've got?
