nah, this

"Then He Kissed Me" by the Crystals is soooo close, yet so far.

Oh, wait, lyrics.

What is this doing in ILE?

Jerusalem

OK, kick off the numbers:

1. "And I'm telling you"
2. "and she was etc"
3. "and now, the end is near.."
4. "and you can dance, for inspiration"

Oh I get it now!

Man, I love Walk Away Renee.

5. My Love by Paul McCartney: "And when I go away, I know my heart will stay . . ."

6. And did those feet in ancient times

7. Selling the Drama, by Live: "And to love a god, and to fear a flame."

8. This Is A Low - "And into the sea goes pretty England and me ..."

9. Fortran 5, "And Erm"

... not sure about this one, "Erm" might be the first word

10. Van Morrison: And the Healing Has Begun

"And we'll walk down the avenue again..."

11. Walk Away Renee "And when I see the sign that points one way The lot we used to pass by every day.."

As per Tom D., catching up...

Does The End by The Beatles count? Or does that start with "Oh yeah"?

Anyway. Jesus Christ Pose, by Soundgarden. That counts.

12. AR Kane 'And I Say' - "And I say, don't go away"

^ terrible lyrics tbh

13. Rush 'Closer to the Heart' – "And the men who hold high places..."

"The End" still wouldn't count since there's also "Are you going to be in my dreams Tonight?" and several repeats of "Love You" before it gets to the "And in the end" part.

Would the Books "Free Translator", which begins with a repeating sample of a guy singing "And I see", count?

14. Hole, "Violet" - "And the sky was made of amethysts..."

ahhhhhhh! that's the one!

Lotsa "modern rock" songs like this

15. Meat Puppets, "Backwater" - "And when I wake up in the morning..."

16. Stone Temple Pilots, "Plush" - "And I feel that time's a-wasting..."

17. Aphrodite's Child "Four Horsemen" - "and when the lamb opened the first seal"

18. Genesis, "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"

19. Led Zeppelin "What Is and What Should Never Be" - "and if I say to you tomorrow"

Andmoreagain - Love

21. Van Morrison, "Sweet Thing" - "and I will stroll the merry way
and jump the hedges first"

And now the end is near, etc...

i think alanis has done this like, several times

or maybe she hasn't, but tori has!

22. tori amos - 'bells for her' ("and through the life force and there goes her friend...")

7. Selling the Drama, by Live: "And to love a god, and to fear a flame."

great thread for providing a context where this song is a good example of something positive

22. Rose Elinor Dougall - "Start/Stop/Synchro"
"And though wistful messages/Sent loaded with lust"

23 that should be, sorry

24. all versions of 'idumea' ("and am i born to die?")

25. piano magic - 'wrong french' ("and there were those films, made in the seventies...")

26. Neutral Milk Hotel- Song Against Sex (And the first one tore a picture/ Of a dead and hanging man/ Who was kissing foreign fishes/ That flew right out from this hands)

27. Nirvana - verse chorus verse: "and if you save yourself, you will make him happy"

^^^uh DOY feel so dumb for not comin thru w this one, great work

Peter Gabriel "And Through The Wire" (title and first word in lyric, yeah!)

and your bird can sing

read the thread better

i was referring to the version of the song that starts with the third line of the chorus

29. Patrick Wolf - "William" ('And I showed you my ugly heart')

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.

I think this one counts, though if scorekeepers want to give an asterisk, I understand:

"and it's a story that might bore you, but you don't have to listen,..."
-Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction

Deep cut from the archives..

"And You" by the Strawberry Zots

(And you drive your pretty car...)

Hush Harbor, "Looking for a Ladder"

"And I don't know how I knew it..." song: Simply Jessie, artist: Rex Smith, album: Sooner or Later soundtrack. #YesImGeekAF

The Connells - "If it Crumbles"

"And for the first and for the last time..."

Chris Stamey - Depth of Field

"And I could scarcely believe we were talking in the kitchen..."

Goo Goo Dolls — Name

“And even though the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away”

"And there were future reflections on the face and the hands"

Zep = Ten Years Gone

intranets has it as "then as it was" tho

blame Bob Plant

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1

Lync - “b”

"2112"

glad to see Stevie F flagged “Divorce Song”

shocked no mention of “The Blower’s Daughter”

Oh good one!

also sorry for typo Stevie D lol

Bowie-Future Legend

"And in the death, as the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare..."

I was all ready to post "Shop Around" before I remembered the spoken part before "And then she said..."

Anyway, "She Cried".

"The Happiest Girl In the World" by Biff Bang Pow!:

"And although what you say is true
I still won't listen to a word"

TS: songs that start with “and” vs songs that start with “well”

"and they called it puppy love" is the first line of "I Enjoy Having Sexual Intercourse with Young Dogs," a controversial hit originally written by Paul Anka for Annette Funicello in 1960, and later repopularized by teen heartthrob Donnie Osmond in 1972, at a time when bestiality in pop music had become more socially acceptable.

Maybe my fave:

Low, "Two-Step":

"And the light, it burns your skin
in a language you don't understand"

lawrence weld to thread?

welk

Kanye West - Runaway

Taylor Swift, "Cowboy Like Me"

"And the tennis court was covered up with some tent-like thing."

^great line – it leapt out at me when I listened earlier.

the best part of having a drinking problem is discovering extremely good posts you've gotten you made

And when I told him I didn't love him anymooo-re, heee cried

Mentioned above as "She Cried". Also, the Shangri-Las version is a bit of a cheat, because there's a spoken intro.

'And in glove, the sun shines out of our behinds...

Have we not had 'And I Am Telling You'?

Metallica - Wherever I May Roam

"And the road becomes my bride"

Nice clip of these guys playing it live.
