Is there anybody who would like to write lyrics for a band?

Hello, my name is Ben and I am a songwriter who writes music to lyrics. With music I'm very strong but good lyrics are just not my strong point. I have a project called Memorial Beach - http://www.memorialbeachmusic.com It is a band and in the past we have done lots of gigs in the UK and also done records that industry professionals have heard because some of our members are reasonably well connected. I am also a producer so all the recordings you hear on the site were done by me.

Basically, we’re looking for someone who can help us (or me, rather) with lyrics. We have a forum at - http://forum.memorialbeachmusic.com/index.php?board=3.0 We make a lot of demos, which we send out to our fans every month via the newsletter so if you submit any lyrics and we like them then we will make a demo of that song and we will send it to a bunch of people and lots of people will hear your stuff. If the recorded song turns out to be really good, we will record it on our next album and of course you will get songwriting credits for that. I’m not too fussy about royalties so if they are generated from any record sales of your song you’ll get 50% so matter if it was one line of lyrics you gave us or a whole song, but there are more details about that stuff on our website. I have worked with lyricists a few years ago and it went well but have lost touch with the two I was mainly working with so this is my effort to get back to collaboration with other artists.

I write songs too, but I think my lyrics are rather weak. But I've participated with a lot of others online who may be interested. 50 Songs in 90 Days happens over the Summer but there's still a few of us hanger-on active on the forums there:

I think you can sign up and post any time, and you can tell 'em I sent you from over here. Yeah, I left some songs there this Summer...
Also, a related challenge, FAWM cranks up every February, and the forums open up sometime in January:
