Wow, this was hard. Limiting the number of lyrics to just 5 candidates was a challenging exercise, I had to leave some very impressive lyrics out. I am confident that what I have left is the strongest lyric posts of the month. Please read the lyrics carefully and then send a pm to me with the following:

Competition : Lyric of the month.
Song : name of song
Composer:  composers name



You will have until 15th July at 12 midnight to make your selection. At this point no further votes will be accepted and I will collate the results and announce the best lyrics in this post.

Best of luck to all writers, may the best lyric win.


The nominees, in no particular order are:

Same, I didn't think we were starting yet but hey ho :)
Although, I'm not going to lie, the song I would've picked isn't up there :( plus as flattered as i am, I don't think I should be nominated for this month, it's one of my worst pieces

You may vote for yourself - most probably will, thereby cancelling each other out.
