I thought there was a Belly song which did this, but I just have to console myself with how three (3) songs from their first album start with the word "so"
("so he's lying on top again" / "so you're going to leave more room for me" / "so what, you think this is usual?")
so there.

"Andmoreagain" wins for beginning with a different "And..." than the title hints at. (Song was written about a woman named Andrea Moore or something iirc)

Modest Mouse "Black Cadillacs"
And it's true we named our childrenAfter towns that we've never been to
Most of the lines in the chorus "and"
And it's true that the clouds just hung aroundLike black Cadillacs outside a funeralAnd we were done, done, doneWith all the fuck, fuck, fucking around
