A Grand parade Stop the clocks, on the rocks Time to stick me in a box Come on take a shoulder if you got six to spare Dressed in black, kicking back Cut me off a little slack Offer up a wing and a prayer No time left for the right way of living Shackled to the choices I made You can’t take a penny ...

Head first it’s the only way I know to go Arms spread wide feeling on display Nowhere fast, cause it ain’t my first rodeo Ain’t no stopping now, gotta find my own way I’ll take the risk, not the easy way out I’ll take the hard way every single time No time for second guessing, second takes or window...

Its 3am at the Mirage and the devil’s playing dice Blowing three times for luck while sipping whiskey over ice A girl upon each arm a wry smile upon their face Going too fast to slow down while never keeping pace You don’t count wins and losses, as long as you can play A chip a chair a chance at lea...

So I can’t sing confidently, play bar chords, use music editing software, read music, understand music theory, rap, make beats or have good taste but I do enjoy writing lyrics based on the prompts. Would anyone like to do 95% of the work for 50% of the credit and form a team??? Jokes aside, if anyon...

Any time - you did a great job with them and from the reviews I read I am going to wear my “add some sweet sweet Doorslike Organ in there” as a badge of pride .

But you did the hard work turning a song written like Nickelback into something that sounded like a forgotten gem from the late sixties.

Woke up and wondered what an iron maiden song about werewolves might sound like viewtopic.php?p=232488#p232488

Predatory allegories plague my lucid mind The hunger grows inside once more, it won’t be left behind A cyclical soliloquy unsatiated by the light My cynical soul seeks the night, where all my sins can hide. Chorus By moonlight, I play this traitors role In darkness, I pay this cursed toll A ticking ...

It’s 3am, can’t sleep, my thoughts surround me Sit up and stretch, distract my fickle brain Teeter at the edge Do I forget or do I dive in Refractions of truth shone through rose tinted pane. My friends say it’s unhealthy, over wine and cigarettes. I won’t lie, makes it all easy to dismiss It’s noth...

The normalisation argument is that if only people who are NB use pronouns then they might as well have a big sign on their head singling them out as NB. If most people use them then it doesn’t single anyone out. Same logic as why it’s useful when heterosexual couples to use partner when referring to...

So I don’t live in the west coast of US and I don’t agree with you. Take a second and a step back for a moment. You want it to be an optional field, the option is there to put a dash, a single key stroke, about 300 keystrokes less then you have spent asking for it to be made optional and a dozen les...

It’s also about just making it normalised so it doesn’t single people out. Which becomes exclusionary in itself.

Help, I slipped tripped and accidentally wrote a Nickelback song viewtopic.php?p=232294#p232294

Wake Up Again Like a cog you only spin when you’re told to Locked in place, daydreaming of the old you Time flashing past in the blink of an eye A raging river that keeps passing you by Live to work, work to live, all seems the same Just another pawn in someone else’s game Clock watching days, like ...

Hmm, very quickly put together! Not at all where I was going with the idea, but your way works too. Mine was to be about this strange small town trying to draw in tourists with these obscure attractions. I was just going to have a long list of them, was going to go more surreal. jsyk, I STILL don't...

Come to Surprise Arizona See very old men Slicing apples, Underwater See rattlesnakes Dressed-up for Christmas Only 18.95.… You may not think it’s living large But it’s a fine way to survive Come by surprise Arizona For a royal time Down at the bar playing quarters Sweet September sun, sets on deser...

Sent something back - hope I got the vibe and incorporated thd theme but as I said no pressure to use them if they aren’t your style.

No idea for lyrics this time. So I tried Jim's approach; building a melody from the words. I used my first take live demo (cut down a little). Just me, my 12 string and my flaws. Nothing to win, just to be in. I have no real musical talent beyond occasionally stringing together some nice sounding w...

Don’t have the chops or equipment to put in an entry but write something based on the prompt. A log upon the fire, keeps the long dark nights on hold Curled up beneath a blanket, night yet to unfold Drinking cherry soda, the wine was turned away Trading dreams and stories as night turns into day Exc...

Wow some of those judges reviews and rankings were brutal. Genuinely surprised at 3-4 of those entries that were below the line (even ignoring for the bias on the one I helped with)

Floating cars, life on Mars Robot help around the home Rocket packs, freeze dried snacks Sheltered in a biodome Holograms, cyber lambs Androids dream the war’s are done AI leaders, virtual Jesus Distant worlds with different suns A future that was promised Speculative fiction Everything grew in not ...

When will the Bandcamp go live, longing to read the lyrics and notes

Not an official contestant but I enjoy writing lyrics so knocked these up on day one. I call the song “spinning in infinity” We make a funny pair odd socks that match no other Mimsey dear, have no fear I’ll hold you close my lover lost among the woods are we No swords to keep us safe shelter in my t...
