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...
"tiger" seems to be the only word from my little collection that I seem to be able to use. I've begun working on the chorus. The tune is very fast, I'm having difficulty even just distinguishing its short notes, and I'm wondering if and how Jenny will be able to sing them. Anyway, I'd put down some stupid dummy text first using it as a template. As you will see, phrases from the dummy text actually made it into my first version of the chorus.
This was the dummy:
and I kiss your lips now
happy ho
and I
I will never let you
let you go away (one syllable missing here)
And this became of it:
and (leads over from the pre-chorus)
I touch the lips of
tiger boy
and I
play his purring cat and
I let him lead the dance
(I) feel the hips of
tiger boy
and I,
I'll hold on and I won't let go, oh I'm
kissing the lips of
tiger boy
and I'm
I'm his tiger girl
starting a wild romance
prompt the love of
tiger boy
and I,
I'll hold on and I will never let him go
Quite a few "and I's" in this one, and "starting" may have the wrong stress... I'll begin working on the verses next and get back to the chorus later.
