How to make your lyrics seem better than they actually are

1. If you have a bland set of lyrics, here's one trick I learned that can make a set of lyrics better.

Here is a bland set of lyrics I wrote.

Let's go caroling

sleigh bells everything

I just want to close my eyes

need no reason why

Christmas in July

I just want to close my eyes

April Seventeenth

time for Halloween

I just wanna trick or treat

dusk turns into dawn

life drags on and on

I just wanna close my eyes

Here's a cheap way to make it seem better:

Give the song a random, unrelated, title.

You can name it something controversial, like "The War In Iraq", or "Al Sharpton" or "White Guilt".  Instant speculation!

You can name it something completely random, like "Damn, Gas Prices Sure Are Expensive" or "The Monkey That Protects The Banana Horde."

You can describe the song without mentioning the lyrics, like "This Is A Song In Gb" or "This Song Involves An Acoustic Guitar, So That Means I'm Versatile".  You can also be cute and sarcastic like that.

See? You don't have to take your title from a lyric in the song.  Cool, huh?
