let's get original, original. i want to get original! (let's get into original)

[violetfox]

all you aspiring poets/lyrists do me a favor -
no more "take my hand - you'll understand"
or "i'm just a man, please understand"
or "i've got a plan - you'll understand"
or "just take the hand of this broken-hearted man".

NO MORE HAND + MAN + UNDERSTAND + PLAN. This does not a good song make. And while you're at it, don't:
"Here where I stand on this barren land."

Try these:

"'I'm just a man', I wrote with my crayon"

Maybe a song about domestic life:
"I started to stand, stand while I canned."

Or a song about censorship:
"I had a plan, but my rhymes got banned."

Or the downside of fame:
"I'm in a lousy band with a crappy pop brand"

Or a stalker anthem:
"I'm that creepy man who stole your hair strand"

Or something for a Ladies Man:
"I'm so tanned, I'm hot like Duran Duran"

Or tap the popular social justice movement:
"I'm taking my stand, against the Klan."

Please comment with your favorite current lyrics that violate the rule. There are tons of songs that do it! My favorite is "My head felt heavy as I came across the land. In the dark, I stood there crying like a broken-hearted man". Name that song!

So comment and or name that song.
