Hello Mark , thanks for posting this link , an interesting read , the only Elton John album i own is Jump Up , i have a few others on CD and Cassette , Mr Taupin calls it " subpar " i thought it was better than that with songs like Empty Garden , Blue Eyes , Spiteful Child , I did read a book Mr Taupin published a long time ago , i think it was called Poems or Song lyrics or something like that , i will keep an eye out for this book , and might just buy it , to read .

Hi , Jess . your post , or a link to your post , came up on my facebook , via a Songstuff add , i clicked on it because the collaboration site i switched to away from here , about 4 or 5 years ago has started to wane , most the musicians i collaborated with have left that site , so i was looking for another site when i saw the Songstuff one pop up , If you ever need lyrics , i would be happy to help . either something from my archives or a collaboration or come up with something new for a melody you already have . Cheers Tez.

Hi , Tezza , the Lyric Critique forum would be the one , but not in the members only lyric forum , not many people frequent that one , just go down the page a bit more and you will see where people are posting on the list ,( a few of mine should be there somewhere ) at the top right of that list is a tab that say NEW TOPIC , click on that and just fill out the boxes , Cheers from Tez (teek) from Melbourne Aus.

The light in the distance, felt like hope in the dark, Promising existence, beautiful, but so far, But is it a false hope , with an image so stark

I'm in , BUT ! ! ! are there any rules ? e.g. only one line per person per verse ?...or a free for all ? i vote for = 1 line p/p . because i have done this before in another forum and i want to write 2 or 3 lines at a time which takes the song in a direction i am pointing it towards , not the group direction , if you know what i mean ? have u got a working title yet ??????

Oh , i thought that was the name of your song / lyrics , Hope I don't step on no toes! would've could've been a good'un , If you have thick skin ,you won't have a problem lots of people here to talk about songwriting . welcome .

Rudi , i've never heard the term WITTER , maybe i don't watch enough BBC tv . Did you have to go to an " old " record store to buy the LP's ?

THE LINK DOES NOT GO TO THIS SONG CALLED PROBLEM CHILD , IT GOES TO A HIT MAKING WEB SITE

I could imagine a STONE pick would take hours to make , probably on a sandstone wheel ? Therefore be EXPENSIVE ?

Oh a coolbag ,

@Rudi i hope you didn't have ice cream or anything that melts , among your groceries .

That's an old word "Sprangle " ( Smokey Mountain Magic 1910 ) , i like it . But who mows the lawn at dawn ? that wouldn't be a forced rhyme would it ? or is it a metaphor i don't understand .
