Kate Bush ‘And So Is Love’
Enya ‘And Winter Came’
And then he kissed me
And the beat goes on
And the Gods made love
And his hand it fell behind her
As his arm it reached around
And she looked at the window
And she watched the shade go down
Elvis Costello, “And In Every Home”
Don McLean, “And I Love You So”
Talking Heads, “And She Was”
I think all three of mine have “and” as the first word in the lyrics as well as the title.
Does “Mrs Robinson” kick off with “And here’s to you…”?
The waterboys – and a bang on the ear.
What’s this obscure ditty? I cant think it’s ever made an appearance here etc.
With all the Bowie folk around here I’m amazed that I’m the one noting The Bewlay Brothers.
And then – Depeche Mode
Let’s take a map of the world
tear it into pieces
Let all the boys and the girls
see how easy it is
to put it all down and start again
from the top to the bottom
and then
I’ll have faith – or I prefer
to think that things that things couldn’t turn out worse
And On – Yazoo
lyric by Alison Moyet – beautiful song about the death of a friend
And this is a song which starts with the word “And”
Open Your Heart by The Humira League
Death Is A Star by The Clash
And we’re playing the joker for double points on
And The Healing Has Begun by George Ivan O Grumpychops
Argent’s ‘Hold Your Head Up.’ Each verse begins with an “and.”
My first thought!
“And if it’s bad
Don’t let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don’t let them see you cry, you can make it”
Great record
And in the end…
The Fabs – And Your Bird Can Sing
Starts with “Tell ….”
The OP didn’t specify whether it was the title, or the first word in the lyric, so I still win.
And/Or interpretation seems the case here. The OP does not specify.
I’d say an “And” answer -both title and lyric- will always outrank an answer with either title or lyric but not both.

Not sure what you meant by “start with the word and” but any excuse to get people into this great Traffic track….additions to the other interpretation coming up in due course..
Metallica – And Justice For All
There are 2 on my i-pod that are purely and simply entitled ‘And’, one by cigarillo merchant Jacques Loussier, the other by Microdisney. I doubt they are the same song.
Then another 35 starting with And, some already mentioned but also inclusing Shpongle, Eddie and the Hotrods, Jackie Leven, the Strawbs feat Sandy Denny, Monsoon and Michael Head’s Strands.
…And You Will Know us by the Trail of the Dead
Have a song called “And you will know them”
And the song – such as it is (31 seconds long) – begins with the word “and”.
I think he meant lyric starts with “And …” rather than the song title.
Eg My Love by Paul McCartney and Wings “And if I go away ….”
Ah, but how do you define a song, by its name or its first line. I by the title, and a title has a start.
So the first word of, say, New Order’s Temptation is “Temptation” even though it’s not uttered in the song?
The first word of the song, as entitled, is indeed Temptation. I can’t speak for the lyrics. By your logic any instrumental shouldn’t have a name and be untitled.
Not saying that at all. Talking about first word heard in a song
Lyrically starting with “and”
Spacehog – In The Meantime
“And in the end we shall achieve in time”
Listened to the album this morning, and they have 2 songs on there where the first word is “And”.
The second being Space Is The Place
“And when you kiss your other lover”
Can I just give a shout out for the fine use of the word in “Derek and Clive” when they observe the word “And” is one their favourites for facilitating an erotic mood?
You’ve got to wait a while, but…….
‘and in the death, as the last few corpses lay rotting in the slimy thoroughfares the shutters lifted inches….
‘And another thing…’

Walk Away Renee:
“And when I see the sign that points one way…”
Such a brilliant song too.
Oh come on. Why has nobody mentioned this song.
I give up *flounces*
Sorry but no way was that making it onto the playlist….enjoy! I do have a memory of liking Crazy Horses back then…
What’s that you say, “Hey Kid, I bet you can’t squeeze any Thames Valley crusty dub poetry into this thread”? Au contraire, mes amis, au contraire.
“And you know it’s time to go …”
U2 a sort of homecoming
That’s in the playlist I put up…I found another U2 song ,Walk On…that fulfills the criteria….Van likes to use it for sure!
“And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England’s pastures green?”
William Blake
“And did those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers and walk upon their brothers?”
Martin L Gore. (Feet don’t have brothers, Martin)
Love ‘Andmoreagain’ : “And if you’ll see andmoreagain…”
