Inspiration

For the last few years I've been part of what we describe as 'a band' - it all started with me and a friend meeting up each week to play bad covers with a rather gruff voiced bloke! Time went on and an evening playing covers involving Mr Gruff always wanting to be as close to the original as possible became less fun and so it stopped. Since then we've moved to a more stable set-up of 5 of us (I've moved from bass to drums) and we're now playing all our own stuff - some of which is marvellous. The problem for me always seems to come when it's time to craft lyrics - I'm wondering if I'm devoid of an imagination or something as I can sit for ages and nothing comes at all! Even if I came up with something about a ghost eating toast up a lamppost I'd be pleased! But nowt! I wonder if I can just get away with writing instrumentals!?
