A bunch of first draft song lyrics, too. I know a lot of idea generation for songs has gone that way. Most songs in popular genres sit in the same basic scaffold so it's been easy for them to say "give me a (4, 6, or 8) line verse talking about such and such. Then give me a chorus that reinforces that idea. Ok, how do we move the second verse forward? Give me a couple of chorus variations. Big emotional high point bridge". Then they go through it with a scalpel to make it coherent and keep it flowing. Then they do another 10, varying the number of lines, the number of verses, or remove the bridge or whatever.
