How I come up with song ideas

I don't have much of a song writing strategy. Riff, lyrics, etc just come to me and I kind of tweak/polish them over time. I don't think I've every really sat down and said I'm going to write a song.

I used to sit around with an acoustic and do it - leads, melody's, etc - didn't matter much what style.
I just hope that the top of my head riff I start with has some girth to it, then I fish around for parts to compliment it.
Then make it fluid and gell, I have no drum machine or anything else to prod me along, and no one to bounce ideas with, and my metronome is only my foot.

Cheers Mitch
 
Ok I have an intro now, but I flubbed up after that, still fishing, I did get a bite but haven’t been able to record it yet.
