Artist FavoriteLiner Notes
I was trying to think of another take for the prompt of liar, then my husband said, 'lyre' so I ran with it 😁
Lyrics
Lyre, Lyre
© 2019 Cindy Prince
He courted her
Those summer days
Such a musician he was
Played his melodies
In so many ways
And she fell in love because
Chorus
It was his lyre, lyre
Caught her pants on fire
Sizzled her through and through
It was his lyre, lyre
Filled her with desire
The things those musical hands could do
He swooned her
Made her heart race
He worked magic on her
She fell head over heels
At a frantic pace
This fact I can concur
Repeat chorus

Hahaha! That's a creative take on lyre. Nice ending bit there haha.
@thelostcartographer Feb 2019
Great take on the prompt! Nice skirmish.
@lavishdude Feb 2019
Ooh, spicy! Homonyms are tough to base a song around, and you've succeeded here. It sticks to the innocuous side of the story, and lets the subliminal implication of the flighty musician trope seep its way in. A lot of FAWMers around here are going to feel pretty validated being portrayed as dangerous. 😉

Very nice, sweet and cute.
@darcistrutt Feb 2019
Cute write! Oh those musical hands and the power of song does cause a swoon!
@frenchcricket Feb 2019
Clever! Those pesky musician types will always break your heart 💔
@sexybass Feb 2019
Love it and I must run out and buy a Lyre now 😁 Love the lyrics and especially the chorus. Well done!
@splittybooms Feb 2019
Clever and funny! I like the reveal at the end.
I was reading and was thinking, "another sweet lyric by Cindy"...then I read "Caught her pants on fire" and I literally laughed out loud.
Fun write!
@ferry0123 Feb 2019
Yeah, this reads really well. It's got the pace that a passionate lyric needs. Medieval touch adds to this!
@jwhanberry Feb 2019
That's just wonderful. Kudos for using a homonym for the prompt. It's a charming tale. Needs to be put to medieval music. Great job.
@tezzbass Feb 2019
I love the medieval flavor of this, and it's a rather fine little tale - nice take on the prompt!
@lvgd09 Feb 2019
Solid patterns and should make it easy for music. Good storytelling and a pretty solid skirmish. Not a doubt in my mind you can write songs. Well done!
@musicsongwriter Feb 2019
Wow, very creative take on the theme! I should have thought of this one. Very good lyrics Cindy.

Mama forgot to warn her about those dexterous, dangerous string players! Fun twist on the prompt. "Caught her pants on fire", Hahaha! Nice job.
@markg Feb 2019
I love the switch to Lyre. oooo...so sexy! Desire, musical hands, racing heart. I guess we musicians just have that thing going for us!
@corinnecurcio Feb 2019
How cool to use "Lyre"! These lyrics are quite wonderful!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2019
That must have been some sensual lyre playing! Creative and fun take on the skirmish!
@chipwithrow Feb 2019
This one deserves music - even if a lyre is not handy! Such clever, romantic fun!
@coolparadiso Feb 2019
Ha ha. Nice bit of fun and nice play on lyre, liar. I used pants on fire of course as well. 😀
