Okay this is contest 318 I think, not that it matters. This one is for you to gain inspiration from snippets of lyrics from some of my favourite songs. I will keep this open for 3 weeks, maybe even a month (extending the date, obviously) and you can enter as many times as you like, though it has to be a new piece. So, on that note I will give you the rules and we can get on our merry way! Plenty of choices though to choose from.
Rules
o1. Please label entries correctly. Don't want anyone viewing something they shouldn't, or would rather not read.
o2. Please put the line(s) that inspired you in your authors comments box, or you will not be chosen as a winner. How else can I tell where your inspiration came from?
o3. Please use backgrounds and font colours that compliment eachother.
o4. Please use spell check, it's there for a reason. The odd mistake happens and I respect that, but if every other word is spelt wrong, then I wont be able to understand what you've wrote.
o5. All genres allowed - after all, this is your interpretation of the lines. This includes dirty pretty and erotica, if you wish to do it.
o6. Can enter as many times as you like, but no prewrites are allowed.
o7. Have fun and ask me if you have any questions and I'll answer as best I can.
Will probably do more of these if it turns out well. Tell your friends.

2. I wonder if I take you home, will you still be in love baby? - Don't Phunk With My Heart, The Black Eyed Peas
3. Girl when you hold me,
how you control me.
You bend and you fold me,
any way you please. - Love Me For a Reason, Boyzone
4. I was feeling insecure; you might not love me anymore - Jealous Guy, Bryan Ferry
5. I lost my faith you gave it back to me,
you said no star was out of reach. - Because You Loved Me, Celine Dion
6. I'll let it pass and bite my tongue
and you will think that I've moved on. - White Flag, Dido
7.If the sky that we look upon,
should tumble and fall
and the mountains should crumble to the sea. - Stand By Me, John Lennon
8. There are many ways you can harm a man and bring him to the ground. - Another One Bites The Dust, Queen
9. I've paid my dues, time after time
I've taken my sentence, but commited no crime
and bad mistakes, I've made a few
I've had my fair share of sand kicked in my face but I've came through. - We Are The Champions, Queen
10. Too late, my time has come.
Sent shivers down my spine, bodies aching all the time. - Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen
11. For all the things that we've been through,
you should understand me, like I understand you. - If You Don't Know Me By Now, Simply Red
12. Whatever I did, whatever I said I didn't mean it, I just want you back for good. - Want You Back For Good, Take That
13. If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie.
Perhaps things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used. - Linger, The Cranberries
14. I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blinds. - Delilah, Tom Jones
15. I'm here, so please explain.
Why you're opening up the healing wound again. - I Think I Better Leave Right Now, Will Young
There we go, that's a fair amount. All different genres of course. You can gain inspiration from the song itself as well if you like, or just interpret the lines however you like. Just don't steal, nobody likes a thief.
Have fun & Best of luck! xxx
