handful_ofdustThat meme:
The first lines of twenty songs found on shuffle = a poem
The twenty-first line is the title.
So:
one last thing, before I shuffle off the planet
I want to tell you about my hometown
didn’t I tell you, don’t you remember?
lumina, come and wrap around me
straight as an arrow, carry your intentions to the wind
left the room but not the race
take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks
we do what we’re told
as I was walking all alone
she took my father from my life
you ought to know why you feel so hollow
love is a shiny car
the wretched desert sheds its form
this old man I’ve talked about broke his own heart
flying birds (excellent birds)
do you want to go dancing?
well, I heard there was a secret chord
these tears I’ve cried, I’ve cried a thousand oceans
filled with bars and factories
I worked hard, but not for the money
never was a thug, just infatuated with guns
a big hollow man with a fistful of sham.
(I only cheated once, when I literally couldn't understand what the Hell the first line WAS in one song. But otherwise--sort of interesting. And strangely narrative.)
