Thanks for your replies. The meter isn't necessarily as important in lyrics as in poetry, as the melody can be used to mangle the rhythm of the words as they fall. Which is why I view lyrics and poetry as separate entities. mysteri - there is a very strong rhythmic pattern in "Mindkiller", not immediately apparent without the music. I tend to sing and accent certain words to fit. Maybe if we ever have a MP3 upload on the forum I'll post up a performance version. In truth, they are not the lyrics I'm the most proud of; that honour belongs to a song called "Flesh", which I wrote in 1983. I'll post it up next with no explanation. I'll let you take your best guesses as to the subject matter, as per your request for "Mindkiller".
