After writing for a while, I find what works for me is this:
A strong single line which I can sing to.
For example:
(Singing) "She sells seashells on the sea shore"
It actually highlights part of the story of the song, that there is a female character, she's doing something, and there's a place.
Also, with a melody to complement it, you get something easy to work with.
You can follow up with,
"And she doesn't have any time for me"
or
"But no one's buying her wares"
or
"While looking out to the sea"
The trick is to come up with a line that would inspire, and a catchy accompanying melody. A "theme" line would also work:
(Singing) "Let's go back to the eighties"
Which then you can talk about anything with regards to that era.
