I had to write up a little flow diagram the other day for the process I need to do to get a song/lyric from idea to completion. You might find it useful;
1-> Get an idea- any bit of inspiration or muse that passes by, maybe from your object writing?
2-> Write - using object writing- about the idea/concept/subject
3-> pick key words or themes and find rhymes - see Better Lyrics by Pat Pattison for more information. Follow this link to buy from amazon;

4-> story board your song- what is the narrative s flow?
5-> Rewrite the main idea- using new lyrical/rhyming ideas
6-> Extract the rythmic idea from the song title … i.e. my favorite girl would be da, da da da, dum
7-> see what melodic ideas come from playing your phrases againast this rythm
8-> hit the ‘record’ button– see myhomerecordingstudio.com
