Any Lyrics Writers here?

Hello everyone.

I havent been online for such a long time,,, Last post was 23-04-07 I was shocked when I saw that,,, But the last few months have been very difficult for me and I havent had any time left, The last couple of weeks however things settled,,, and I finally have some free time to spend on the internetz.
Thank you for understanding.

*Goes editing all the old stuff in profile *

As you know or dont know, Im in a band, Screen Failure, Which back in march was just getting used to playing together. Now we are having great times rocking, Our genre's punk and I will post some of our songs here when we release them, (No we havent recorded any songs with good quality. Yet!)

Now on to the thing why I made this topic.
Our songwriter (bass) and I (lead guitar) have a kind of writers block, we cant seem to get any good song out of our hours of brainstorming with the band. And we need a new song.
The music isnt a problem its just the lyrics.

So my question is, Is there any Lyrics writer on these forums,,, Or someone who would like to try to write a song for the band?

Of course you will recieve complete credits for the lyrics etc.

---------
Details about the Lyrics
---------
It will have to be in a Billy Talent style,,, If you dont know Billy Talent here are some samples. (Dont just copy parts of the songs please!)

Billy Talent - Fallen Leaves
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q0RAKVjFKRc&feature=related

Billy Talent - Standing in the Rain
http://youtube.com/watch?v=KlbWiI8-a4w
Billy Talent - This Suffering
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rMYHcGa99yI&feature=related

The song is planned to be about 2 - 4 minutes, So please hold that in mind when writing


Please mail/PM the lyrics to me.

Thank you,
Tim Cottenham and the rest of Screen Failure

I only write in the hip-hop mold, I'm afraid.

Please never make a request like this again. If you do I will have Nate change your name to Britney Spears.

And that's for real, dogg.

I have enough trouble writing lyrics for my degree, let alone writing them for some random on a forum.
Sorry.

I am awash in Cakes and Pies
Eating
Devouring
Chocolate Chip Cookies are strewn in my path
I eat cupcakes of doom
The Non-Fatties all hate me for they are not obese
I cry even as I eat
Could I find a tastier place to be
Intocivated with Doughnuts
No solace for the Pastries
I will show the world one day
Endless life in the refrigerator

What the hell is this??? Asking random people you don't know to write lyrics for you, you probably should either find somebody who's good at it or stop trying if your not creative enough.

Who's that knocking on my door?" said the fair Young Maiden....

"Fuck, open the door, you pox-ridden whore!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"Fuck, open the door, you pox-ridden whore!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"What is your intention, sir? What is your intention, sir?
What is your intention, sir?" said the fair Young Maiden.

"Oh, off with your shirt, so you doesn't get hurt!" said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"Oh, off with your shirt, so you doesn't get hurt!" said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"Will you take me to the dance? Will you take me to the dance?
Will you take me to the dance?" said the fair Young Maiden....

"To Hell with the dance! Now, off with your pants!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"To Hell with the dance! Now, off with your pants!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"Will you vow to marry me? Will you vow to marry me?
Will you vow to marry me?" said the fair Young Maiden....

"Hell no, we won't wed. Getcher ass in yon bed!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"Hell no, we won't wed. Getcher ass in yon bed!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"What's that thing between your legs?" What's that thing between your legs?
"What's that thing between your legs?" said the fair young maiden.

"It is me pole to stick in your hole," says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"It is me pole to stick in your hole," says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"What if I should have a child? What if I should have a child?
What if I should have a child?" said the fair Young Maiden.

"I'll open your crack, and shove it right back!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"I'll open your crack, and shove it right back!" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"What if you should go to jail? What if you should go to jail?

"I'll swing me big balls, and knock down the walls!" said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"I'll swing me big balls, and knock down the walls!" said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
