Well I've been struggling as of late, not being able to see anything through but quickly giving up and moving on.
Luckily, there's a growing amount of lyrics in the
collaboration league - so thought I'd give one of these a go to get myself back in the swing.
I've tried to design the league to encourage anyone to be able to enter, regardless of ability. This isn't about spending ages making the best song possible, it's about showing the different style and implementations the lyrics can be made in to - to inspire, compare and (hopefully) be interesting. Hopefully this will help those beginners like myself engage more with the community, gain inspiration and open up channels for future collaboration.
A bit out of my comfort zone, no swearing? D:
So here's my simple acoustic (and a little bit of keyboard) entry to get us started - hopefully Keith wont hate it
Thanks to Keith for contributing these fantastic lyrics to the league.

The barker shouts "come ye all to the fair"
bright flashing lights dance across the sky
slicked back hair, zoot suit, green shirt
Getting high on the fairground air
Standing beside the helter skelter
Pre-chorus 1
I want to take a ride, take a ride, take a ride, a ride
Chorus
tonight at the fair, tonight at the fair
will I find love? tonight at the fair
Verse 2
The crescent moon is shining through the clouds
shining on the leaves as they turn gold
polished shoes, white shirt, black skirt
getting wet in the autumn rain
I see you laughing by the ghost train
Pre-chorus 2
Why don't you, take a ride, take a ride, take a ride, with me
Chorus
Bridge (music only)
