Random-generated poetry

[kangeiko]

Gacked from likeadeuce: Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

I had to cheat a little, since a surprising number of instrumentals came up. But here are the first twenty lines of the first twenty songs with vocals. I've messed around a little with the punctuation, of course, but other than that...


Stay

You can.
Shake an apple off an apple tree;
ain't no sunshine.

When she's gone, I wear a disguise.
Now there's a back-seat lover,
I've loaded up a good thing -
Watch me ride...

Suavamente, besame
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain.
(Who lives in a house like this?)

There's something
lucky - you were born that far away, so
cosy in the rocket.

(We were nameless)

I feel so unsure;
no clouds in my storms.

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have.
You have me, I was born.

In a forked-tongued story,
It's a mean and stormy night.

(You walk in.)

It's art, I tells you! Art!!

I love that I can identify at least two songs on here. I think. >.o
