  1. I've met some pretty decent police officers in my time (as well as some utter arseholes). I'm not in the US, but this track seems more relevant to ICE these days 😥

  3. I’m late for #TuneTuesday but these #StrangeFirstLines warrant this post.

    “She’s your cocaine, she’s got you shaving your legs. You can suck anything, but you know you wanna be me.”
    ⁃ “She’s Your Cocaine” by Tori Amos

  5. Oh, where are you now
    Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
    When I was alone
    You promised the stone from your heart

  6. In retrospect, the Sex Pistols's “God Save the Queen” may have been the least reassuring request for divine intervention ever recorded.
    "God, save the Queen
    The fascist regime
    They made you a moron
    Potential H-bomb"

  7. When I think of strange first lines, I immediately think of Poor Edward by Tom Waits.

    Did you hear the news about Edward?
    On the back of his head, he had another face.
    Was it a woman's face or a young girl's?

  13. "In the beginning, I came into being
    As a single expression, pushed out from her organs."

    Wussy Duo, "Nomenclature" (2012) — a cover of the Seedy Seeds, so it's really their lyric, but 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 version is transcendent.

  19. Songs with strange or unusual opening lines. This whole song is weird in a wonderful way.

    Cibo Matto – Sci-Fi Wasabi

    "What's up B? Wa-sa-bi
    I'm searchin' the city for sci-fi wasabi
    The start button has been pushed already
    Obi-Wan Kenobi is waiting for me"

  22. There's a spoken intro to The Mercy Seat that probably qualifies as strange, but Nick usually omits it when he plays it live so let's go with the live version (my favorite).

    Edited to fix link.

    🎶 I began to warm and chill
    To objects and their fields
    A ragged cup, a twisted mop
    The face of Jesus in my soup 🎶

    The Mercy Seat - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

  26. "I's cleaning…
    I's cleaning my jackknife when you did appear
    Had to fight with you, I cut off your ear.
    Yodelay, little darlin', don't you come here no more.
    Take this as a warning, get your ear from my floor!"

  30. RE: susanklopfertruth.com/@dheepsi

    #SurveillanceResistance against late‑stage #SurveillanceCapitalism: #ID checkpoints are the new static—riffs, stories, books lose their edge behind a bureaucratic mute button. They call it age‑check; we call it cultural censorship. Slip on a #VPN, hide in #Tor, drop unfiltered tracks onto hidden nodes like #IPFS, and whisper links via meme QR codes and secret chats. The net will roar louder than any censor’s silence. #tunetuesday

    Once upon a time I spent like 4 hours trying to determine if the opening line of Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult was, in fact, what I thought it was.

    It was.

    "With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound he pulls the spitting high tension wires down”

  34. The theme of this week's #TuneTuesday (the music-related hashtag game) happens to be #StrangeFirstLines, i. e. songs that start off with odd or unusual lyrics.

    I raise the excellent song Chaise Longue by Wet Leg:

    Mummy, daddy, look at me
    I went to school and I got a degree
    All my friends call it the big D
    I went to school and I got the big D
    I got the big D (x3)

    It's from their self-titled debut album (Wet Leg) and the whole disc is worth a listen. :loud:

    Here's where to listen to the song:

  36. As soon as I saw today's theme for #TuneTuesday, I knew I had to highlight Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker, an awesome band from my city and their songs are full of strange lyrics.

    Here's Yin Yang by USS

    "All I, all I, all I, really, really, really wanna say is, "what the fuck?" today"

  38. #TuneTuesday this week is #StrangeFirstLines, and let's go with the first lines of the first track of my favorite record.

    Meat Puppets - 'Violet Eyes':

    "Mother master, some things must be
    Plastic master, this is for free
    You give off a dark
    Seems larger than life
    Vi-ii-iolet eyes"
