A meme via ~peasina! I don’t usually care about lyrics at all so I suppose this is a way of forcing myself to momentarily appreciate them?? My CD collection is somewhat diverse, as this probably reveals.

“Put your mp3 player/phone/streaming collection on shuffle and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results.”

I recently added a function to my scrobbling script that picks a random track from my entire CD/record collection … running it repeatedly has taught me that most of my CD collection appears to consist of the FF16 soundtrack which isn’t even good. A few of these were in languages other than English so I translated them or found translations for them, and manipulated some of the punctuation to make it look as if some of the lines do actually follow on from each other. Towards the end it starts to get semi-coherent!

Hey you, do you remember me?
I’m a little curious of you in crowded scenes.
A hazy mist hung down the street,
There’s a lake behind my place.
The twain on ten feet run.
Hail, star of the sea.
We’re Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child.
The speculators made their money on the blood you shed,
Mostly, said the roof to the sky.
Nothing, nothing!
There she is. Enter.
It’s the story of a devil coming straight out of the flames.
Whenever sang my songs,
Commit thy way to Jesus.
Don’t be afraid:
When you’re in love, you know you’re in love;
It’s time for action.
I shall confess to you, Lord:
It’s Iggy Iggz.
