Song writing - the truth hurts no!?

You could write a fish story called "The One That Got Away". I suppose it could be an anecdote where the boat ends up sinking and you had to ditch the beer so the cooler would keep you afloat. And of course all those worms in the water kept the fish nibbling at your toes and other areas.If it did not happen to you it certainly happened to someone else. Reality or fabrication is best served when told well. I think its all about a good story regardless of exposed true identity. Ahem... as long as the one who pissed you off is not a competent lawyer. In that case I would choose a name that rhymes with the real name.Aside from that I would try to keep lyrics as universal as possible while drawing from personal experience with a nice touch imagination.

One fish that got away.Two good poles to the bottom that day.Three boxes of worms chummed the lake.Four times friends said the story was fake.Five times I thought I'd die while gasping for air.But the fish pissed me off when I ditched six cans of beer.Or something like that.

carlos......I'd hate to write a song about my boat sinking!!!!!! Actually, I did have a song about the one that got away, written from the fish's perspective. ?Never finished it though. Kind of a story line about how she came to the top and saw me, and watched me lose it when she spit the hook..... the big mammy from the bottom..... It could be cute, but its more fun to write about love affairs with women......Have a great night,.... and a great week.ArkJack

"There are plenty more fish in the sea" that's an obvious one but I have included it into one of my songs! My Dad used to take me fishing when I was a child, I'm not into it now, much to his disappointment lol but I have been left with a fascination of the sea...and airplanes for that matter. He never won me over with the trains though (phew) Anyway thanks for all the tips and advice so far folks, it's been interesting to say the least!!!Lindsey.
