Put your iTunes collection 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
Like we always do at this time
The breath of the morning
I'm waiting for my moment to come
Idle juvenile on the street, on the street
Late at night when the wind is still
Well the morning was complete
This is the first day of my last days
Far Away, this ship is taking me far away
You can tell by her smile shes such a love child.
"Leave me alone, I'm in control,I'm in control!"
It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.
Said I've paid all my dues for what i've done
When the routine bites hard
Baby, you've been going so crazy
Round round we go
Boy, yeah, you got it got it
So what if you flip a couple words
If sweet death should ever conquer me
you think i'd leave your side baby?
Ain't got nothin' on me anymore
I've got too much on my plate

ok firstly, my itunes is on crack..this was not rigged. that sequence of songs was really what started playing. love what came out..there's actually some semblance of a poem that makes sense, no? HAHAHA :D secondly, i edited the form and added caesura/interjections to make it more cohesive. but then at one point i just gave up cos it was to much work. thirdly i can't believe not a single jamiroquai/take that/robbie williams song turned up. (you're asking for too much jax, srsly.)

this is just amazing. it means one of two things i think. a) songs generally go round similar themes b) lyrics nowadays don't really have to make sense.
im going to try :D
