Wow, that looks amazing! Usage instructions?

Hey martin..
It's real simple mate...
Just choose words from the 2 lists to make up a line then press"saveline".
Press "save to list" to save to an array, or save as....
All files saved to list can be found in program folder.
The third list, the small one, is a rhyming list.
Here's how that works...
Say you write something like....

The day I looked into your eyes
All I saw was confusion
So I ran from the problem
"When you get to this line the rhyming list will give you words that rhyme with"confusion"

Editing the lines is limited to keep the songwriter working outside his comfort zone.

9 times out of 10, every song is usually "boy meets girl"....or some bullshit like that

Also, it has a listmaker inside, so you can load any txt file and a list is made.
Note that the listmaker cannot handle reaaly big, humongous files.
The biggest file it managed to handle generated about 40-000 words.
Higher than that and the listmaker will spit the dummy
I worked at improving it....but saw no improvement from code changes.
I figure i could split a file a process it in chunks.... rainy day stuff....

Thanks for trying it out....hope you have some fun with it...
