Imagine if Brad Pitt was singing the song - would it be funny? A twist is important when it comes to writing lyrics  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) In writing lyrics - well, for me, anyway - it’s about getting into character, you know? ‘Who is writing this?’ In the case of the original ‘Thick As A Brick,’ supposedly a precocious, very young child who’s fantasizing about his future and the context of all the confusing elements to which school boys are subjected at that time  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) I’m always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) I think my voice worked out fine, but it was a lot of work for me. And I was very self-conscious about it. I was a bit self-conscious about writing lyrics too  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) I try not get too self-aware when writing lyrics  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) After that, I specifically started writing lyrics.

In the beginning, like the first record, I wasn’t so aware  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) A lot of times when I’m writing lyrics, I just think about insecurities that I might have and turn them into a scene. Some things may be true, and some things may not  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) There have always been jokes all over our songs; I originally started writing lyrics to make my friends crack a smile, which is difficult  (Writing Lyrics Quotes) I like collaboration because, first of all, I’m good at writing lyrics.
