Use other ideas please...

50. I'm gonna have sex tonight
I just gotta have sex tonight
And it could be with anyone!
Literally with anyone!
And if there's not sex tonight
I'm gonna cry the whole night through (gonna jerk off tonight as a last resort baby)

51. I've had a kid and it's really made me open up to expressing the gentler optimistic side of life, except on all the other songs on this album.

52. I don't care about my baby or babies, I only care about my sweet lovin' baby, and I'm gonna have sex tonight, gonna make the sun sweat as the sun sets because it's so hot

53. I'm going to mispronounce and use incorrectly one of the only two words I know in Spanish/French as it makes me look like I tour around the world.

54. Showing off by saying you travel around the world. Extra boring if you mention any of these cities: Tokyo, Paris, London, New York.

55: check out ma amalog snyth burplin

56: call and response

57: the old switcheroo
(a) quiet / loud
(b) sounds like tful 282 then all of a sudden who'da thunk it entirely unprecedented switch to mr bungles mind blown

58: our wild and uncontrolled music is presented to you in
ABABCAB format

59. We have a digeridoo player and a guy who raps about the world and a violinist who wears a velvet top hat and a leopardskin waistcoat. Brighton's just so chilled out isn't it?

thread is saying way more about ilxors than about music

indeed

no shit

you don't say

37. My lyrics are nonsense and sung in a made up language

This is the only valid approach to lyric writing imo

Jona Lewie knows the score

all criticism is autobiography

60. There's twenty-six letters in the alphabet, now let's go through every single one of them and think of words that start with those letters!

(sorry, my 2 year-old's got me watching nothing but Sesame Street these days)

61. I implore you, raise your hands aloft as if indifferent to the situation.

despite my participation above I'm increasingly more interested in the proposed opposite thread, I'm not sure this one can ever get escape velocity from "lol rap/rock lyrics, but in stiff old guy language" material

DC's been killing it ITT but start a new thread by all means :-)

^ Yep! For instance, while I agree that POV of a serial killer has been done to death, I'm totally game for more songs with the POV of a bad cop.

62. Funk is the foundational element of our universe.

63. Money and love have a fraught relationship.

64. For your consideration: my freshly minted acronym.

62. Funk is the foundational element of our universe.

You can never have enough songs about that.

aw thanks dl. definitely not saying i won't try my hand again if the muse moves me.

65. Girls: Let's all go out and be cool and party till dawn

66. Boys: Why won't you sleep with me? IDGI

There are other ways to frame responses here! They're all probably more boring on average but it's not impossible to do.

67. our music is more considered and thoughtful than that of our peers. we spend time over it like talented chefs - they serve it up as quick as possible for the masses.

68. "woke up this morning, decided to write a song that begins 'woke up this morning'"

68a. alternatively, did not wake up this morning because i couldn't get to sleep last night

69. If you see my mister/missus tell them I'm sick of their shit and I'm off. But phrase it nicely cos I don't want to come across like a ghosty chicken-shit prick

70. Here's my album cover. It has a picture of me and my name and maybe my guitar. I hope this intriguing combination of information and imagery seduces you into joining me on what'll definitely be a totally unique musical journey.

71. this is the name of a new genre. let me tell you a little bit about it. perhaps it has a dance.

72. i want to have sex with you, woman, however i'm not going to say it that overtly. let me instead celebrate your wonders and show how much i respect you, quietly and with dignity.

73. While I may seem like the inferior romantic option based on a variety of factors, the depth of my love for you more than offsets this.

Sub-category of 73: why do you treat me like I'm the inferior romantic option when I would [immense romantic gesture]

3. here's a list of all the modes of transport that might deliver me back to the arms of the one I love. but if they all should fail me, I am prepared to walk the entire way there

― the baby grew up to be a secessful kid (unregistered)

captain beefheart did this with "my head is my only house unless it rains", but he also did "grow fins". i'd say there ought to be more songs that used the same central idea as "grow fins", but none of them would be as good as "grow fins", so why fucking bother?

74. My metaphorical paintbox is lacking bright colours

75. No matter how much I try to come across as a nice guy, you will think I'm a total cock AKA every Coldplay song ever.
