Alright! So this was a game I heard about awhile ago, which goes as follow:

Put your playlist on shuffle
Write out the first line of each song
Repeat for 20 songs
Post the results here

This can have mixed results, I've done some that were boring, some that were hilarious. My favourite still being "Heard It Through the Grapevine" followed by "Blowin' in the Wind" - "Betcha wonder how I knew how many roads must a man walk down".

I'll go first.

Will you say when I'm gone away
I'm gonna write me a letter, gonna send it to my local DJ
Hey, I'm your life, I'm the one who takes you there
So close, no matter how far
Over the mountain, down in the valley
Turn around, every way
Search for comfort, surrounded by water
Now up on top the rooftops, underneath the starlight
This is a test, this is a test
I'm standing in the city that never sleeps
Love me two time, baby
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
It's been a long, long, long time
I ought to get going, I should stay here and love you
Sweet dreams are made of this
Imagine there's no heaven
I know you deceived me, now here's a surprise
I've got to run to keep from hiding, and
The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal
Here comes the sun, doot 'n' doo doo

So...it's hit and miss. Sometimes it coincides perfectly, so give it a try! I'm curious how other people's might turn out.

Even though the lights have changed I’m caught up in an endless loop
Where's my shotgun?
Passion is the destroyer
I used to dream until I stopped writing fiction
People are rushing to stores, stocking up goods
Walking on thin ice
They call it Stormy Monday
They made a statue of us
You don't have a clue
I want to sing to you my love
Precious angel
Daisy, I never thought I'd go
Your virgin light is a golden flame
Tied to the oceans
I'm gonna go out dancing every night
Growing in numbers, growing in speed
He never thought that he would leave so soon
Don't be scared of anything at all
Seems a downright shame
I know you suffered but I don't want you to hide

Good lord. This reads like an awful pop-country song.

Black like a forest
who is it
if you want
in the river the colour of the land
secluded in a marker stone
are out of love with me?
I can name the people that know they don't know themselves
I once had a love but soon had enough
See my true reflection
There's an hour of sunshine, for a million years of rain
cease to resist, giving my goodbye
shining violence, shining victim
it's been a hard day's night.
Well she's kind of like an artist
I'm burning up
wild mice, running round inside
ridin' in the drop top with the top down
crazy rides rockets
over and over and over again
work is never over.

Tread slowly from the car to the spa
Words coming forth like water from the tap
I told you 'bout strawberry fields
Swing high, swing low
Hey baby won't you take a chance?
Gonna take a chance on her
Don't change your name
Never thought I'd fall
I never loved nobody fully
Ghosts and goblins
He said I'm gonna buy this place
It's amazing, all the things you said about our love
I don't wanna be your friend
Little girl, how happy I would be
I know, I know
Can we run that again?
So I hear it's your birthday
Little by little, tooth by tooth
Spanish songs in Andalusia
Why's everything that's supposed to be bad make me feel so good?

Huh...

I hate these "games" involving shuffle because I have to listen to the full song... I can't just listen to the first line. Takes me like an hour.

I know your every move behind this face
I was cruisin' in my stringray late one night
Do you recall that lonely summer day?
The smell of you lingers on my clothes and I miss the things we had
You're kinda small and you're such a doll
Hands up, coming up with rhythms to make your head jerk
Well I stood stone black at midnight
The translucent carriages drawing morning in
Do you still remember how we used to be?
You are a rainbow of emotion
A foggy day in London town
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
I'm a stranger to your city, my name is Michael Flynn
You're all looking up with hearts of devotion
Straight back chair and a table where he sits when he's able
I had a tree in the dream hills where my childhood lay
With quill and silver knife she carved a poison pen
It's like I'm sailing on the ocean
It don't really matter, going to find out for yourself
Lovely Rita, meter maid, lovely Rita meter maid

Been searching all day for the answers
I'll tell you what it's going to be like
Set fire, shoot out the stars
TV party tonight!
This town is going under
Get up early in the morning
Yeah, they say there's a place
It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling
I couldn't sleep, I had to listen
England seemed like a beautiful place from afar
You talk about the way things were
Whoops I OD'd
18 soldiers five days away
I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth
White eyes in coal mines
The quaaaaaaassssss
As often as always
A broad incision sits across the evening
Close your eyes and shield your ears
K...K...K...Killer

Yeah that went badly.

L'autre soir, je suis écrasé sur la terrasse des Foufs
I saw on TV about this little kid
Hey, you walk so slow
Now that the furniture's returning to its goodwill home
I hate the smell of coffee on your breath
Un squelette dans ton placard
One day, we're gonna live in Paris
When the smaller picture's the same as the bigger picture.
If I am lost for a day try to find me
The head is shot, the nerves are raw.
Give me your eyes
And I was a boy from school
There's a target on the audience
I combed the crowd
I'll walk down to the ocean
Do not offer me a contract
Jackie, you yourself said it best when you said
I waded out too far
Mon amour en devenir
Wanna make a bet

Meh.

That is pretty funny.

To hunt a witch, follow this plan
I've looked everywhere, Mr Forbes
Say there's a girl who's new in town
The family's head gives orders
I am done listening
Oh little thing and twelve year ring
There's a black rainbow above my house
Hey angel, consider your position
When I heard the knock on the door
Fast cars, fine ass
To say that you are cute would be like saying that a strawberry is sweet
They don't walk, they don't talk in Malibu
Dressed like that you must be livin' in a different world
The cat calls through the night
I climbed the hill on the way to the cathedral
Now there's a certain girl I been in love with for a long long time (What's her name!?)
Baby's back, all dressed in black
I, I believed memory might mirror no reflections on me
Mongoloid, he was a Mongoloid!
When we were young, we wanted to die

Mine kinda sucks. It started out pretty cool. First song references hunting witches and the third song is "The Witch" by the Sonics.

My oh my I'm seeing the potential
Hey don't write me off just yet
I'm starting to crave a Kalashnikov
You know I get a funny feeling
I'm sure you can make it
You, where you were coming up
I didn't take no shortcuts
Newspapers funded by oil-makers
And it feels like it won't come off
Slide down your hill until you remember
Eli the barrowboy you're the old town
And everything we said was true
Bloody but unbowed
So long to this cold cold part of the world
Well the sun grew dim and the night grew tall
Not sure what I should say
I slipped away
Please come out
Closed my eyes and swallowed
I wish I could live free

Well...

In her eyes he stares at his reflection
Your charitable objectivity doesn't exist
[instrumental]
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear
I'm a boy with dirty hair
He hides in his suit like a snake in the grass
Our skin worn thin
Hello, I am Thomas Edison and this is my rendition of "Fight Club"
He drives a 90,000 dollar jaguar to work every day
And he came by the way that he walked
Put your hands all over me
[instrumental]
Wir sind heute in der Disco
Whose prison break is the most impressive?
Well traffic is kind of bad
Barkmarket, AC/DC, Monster Magnet, Cheap Trick
this is what you got for trying to take away our dignity from us
Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
Going out each day to score
Sonntagmittag, ein Altbau im 13. Stock

Bad to feel the way I am
Said the straight man to the late man
Look what you're doing
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say
Well, I'm standing here, freezing inside your golden garden
Go to the shore and pray for the sea
[Instrumental]
Pappy with the khaki sweatband
I'm so close
Spending your life dreaming of rich fantasies
If I were to walk the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
The gifts I share
Just a reflection
Slap your mammy now
The first time I saw lightning strike
Tell me, milkcow, what on earth is wrong with you?
I love you baby, cause you're back in time
The man laid his hat on the table
A terrible signal too weak to even recognize

there's still alot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
don't need you
i wanted you to be all mine
when i die, put that bottle in my hand
way way out, past where the sidewalks disappear
i wandered so aimless
far away in africa
nobody gonna take my car
i just don't fit in this place
we can't turn him into a company man
loose nut in my head
have a good day
i'm goin' down that gravel, gonna take the right-hand road
1989!
so i'm sittin' on the couch holding the remote
was it fun and games?
they put angels in the electric chair
i was dashin' through the hood
bring on the days of wine and roses
if you're feeling down, depressed, and lonely
good morning, little school girl

too many instrumental songs, this took forever.

Here we go. Not counting the song currently playing, because I don't remember and not counting "yeahs," and "ooooh baby"s, etc (listening to my R&B playlist):

I used to be a part-time lover
We got somethin' special
When I sing this song y'all
This heart of mine
Pain in my heart
Sunshine blue skies, please go away
Got to get back to page one
Soul vaccination all across the nation
Playin' rhythm and blues in a wold of rhythm and business
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
Shake! Early in the mornin'.
Get up (get on up)
Lady luck and the four leaf clover
You got's to get what you want what you want when want it
Get up offa that thing
You can be in New York City
Sun is shinin', there's plenty of light
You think you’re cold, to cold to behold
When somethin' is wrong with my baby
You got a smile so bright

Yeah, maybe I'll come back and do a more general one that'll make a bit of sense?

I felt alone
When she goes shes gone
I became a crystal healer
I was lost
Yeah! Great skies of green
You take my life away
Hollis Brown he lived
Desperado
Doctors played your dosage like a card trick
My name is Jonas
Theres a hole in the world
Gee but its great to be back home
Lovin' you
When the bus shelter windows and napkin-dispensers surprise
Beneath the Northern Lights
Since your breathing
Sing, muse, of the passion of the pistol
Sunset in my mirror
Please don't be technology
I'm choosing words that seem to be forgotten

This seems to have worked out oddly well.

Tear drops on the city
A soft breeze with the slippery concrete black and full of muddy slush
I was dressed for success
I could sleep
I'm the same as I was when I was 6 years old
A heart that's full up like a landfill
Well I can't regret
I'm not impressed
I woke you up at four this morning
Write these words back down inside
If you're seeking repair
If you wanna go and take a ride wit me
I don't need no wheels
Let me take you on, we'll get high just a little
ATL, crusin' in da ATL
You better find your way out
The phone slips from a loose grip
Do you curse where you come from?
Mmmmm you can find me in St. Louie
Vi sitter här i venten och spelar lite DotA.

Oh that Basshunter.

They spot the men of science
Sit back and these days remember my ways
Lets sail across a summer day
On a glass bottom boat
You can take a locket and I will feel the clouds
Too many dicks on the dance floor (haha)
Good people pray heed of attention
Got a heart that is afraid to love
I'm from the house of lady
Tell me how do I get to know you
Don't Stayyy run awayyy
She's the touch of my heart that springs to my step(???)
Falling on, attending memories
[techno solo derp]
Love forever dream, within a dream
Don't put the cold in exile
This war is cold and silent
[another techno solo derp derp]
You gotta feel it(yes you gotta feel it)
The Angel of Death came to David's room

I like that Flight of the Chonchords popped up.

There is no dream
Until the day you died
I control an awkward soul
Me-- the paragon of fear
There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildings
And the water takes hold
We came down from the north
WE HAVE RETURNED
Free man, you shall forever cherish the ocean!
Oh mighty watcher!
Here we all work on the Mississippi
I felt the wind shifting back on us
Come down on me, my sweet angel
A vial of hope, and a vial of pain
The colorless words are burning our heels
Around the world, around the world
A moving aria for a vanished style of mind
In this world you try
Da funk back to da punk, come on
Save your soul, bright with gold.

That was fun.

That worked well.

I like tender's gaps, it makes it seem like an oddly structured poem.

He is the angel with the scabbed wings
Choke on myself for you
I gave my last chance to you
Summer days, summer nights are gone
Boy with a coin that he found in the weeds
The river flows, it flows to the sea
Under my thumb
I'm the ministry of death
We get some rules to follow
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, I feel free
In the white room with black curtains
Instant karma's gonna get you
Words fall from our mouths
It's a marvelous night for a moondance
When I was a child my family would travel
A long time ago, yeah, before you was born, dude
River, take me along in your sunshine
Have you seen the old man
Smelling like a brewery, looking like a tramp
What did I ever do to you?

There's a place where I can go
And you may find yourself
Several days a month you made
Whatcha gonna do about me?
I was staring at the sky
You by the phone
You called me last night
Folks say that you found someone new
Hello Good Morning sir
"Howdy, Lem" my grandpa said
This is where the party ends
Today
I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand
I'm so tired I haven't slept a wink
Nights in white satin
Look into her eyes
I built my house of reeds
Of war and peace
Psycho delicate girl
Like so many girls

This one is much better.
