You can (and I'd like to stress that I'd quite like you to) submit ideas for lyrics you find are of this vein if you wish to. And hey, who said they had to be mainstream? You can submit lyrics or poems you've written yourself if you'd like to, as long as they're 20 words or less. Send me stuff using the Contact page.
