Songs that start with "and"

^ 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

"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)

31. and 32. pj harvey - "the garden" and "the river" (both on the same album!)

My brain has finally brought to the surface

Argent - "Hold Your Head Up"

which I was sure xhuxk would have posted before me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ_UuPH3cyw&feature=related

34. "and i was a boy from school, helplessly breaking all the rules"

... (And that's no lie) - Heaven 17

ah, but the lyric?

Closer To You by Momus begins with the line "And maybe you're the Circle Line girl..."

Rush - "2112" ("and the meek shall inherit the earth...")

Destroyer - "Painter In Your Pocket" ('And I'm reminded of the time when I was blinded by the sun...'), "Priest's Knees" ('And I was just another West Coast maximalist...')

39. The Decemberists - Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect ('And here I dreamt I was a soldier')

guys, GUYS! The 800-lb. gorilla in the room:

40. Talking Heads - "Once In A Lifetime" ("And you may find yourself, living in a shotgun shack")

Aargh. Knew there was a Talking Heads song, but gave up thinking about when the other one was posted

41 3am matchbox 20

42 Primordial - Gallows Hymn ("And sister, do not pray for me...")

xpost oof, nice one

Modest Mouse "Black Cadillacs"

And it's true we named our children
After towns that we've never been to

Most of the lines in the chorus "and"

And it's true that the clouds just hung around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
And we were done, done, done
With all the fuck, fuck, fucking around

Destroyer - "Painter In Your Pocket" ('And I'm reminded of the time when I was blinded by the sun...')

Beat me to it.

44 - Morrissey - Speedway ("And when you slam/down the hammer")

and a one, and a two, and a three..

45. The Human League - Open Your Heart ("And when it hurts you know they love to tell you/How they warned you")

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.
