Jeez, do a search sometime, willya?

TBers who write lyrics: What's your process? Do you like what you write?

whenever i write lyrics they are inspired by the music, i justr listen to the music and start humming and then start to replace the humming with words.

i also write lyrics whenever, sometimes to some other music that inspires me or when im out and about somewhere.

you should always have pen and paper with you, i have lot's of lyrics written on the back of receipts etc. whatever there is, i also have a creative mp3-player with a built in mic that often times come in handy.

I've got an idea I'm working on (slowly). You can use it as well. But if you end up making big money with it, I want some.

You know that phrase "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" ? My wife actually learned it as "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw parties." I thought that was pretty hilarious. So I went to our daughter and said 'Finish this phrase: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw...' and she replied "Up?"

There has got to be a song there.
