Best opening lyrics to a song

[fatbadger]

Not just the best opening to a song, but the best opening to an album (nobody but Nick Cave would even dare open an album with these lines, because nobody else could get away with it):

'Well, I don't believe in an interventionist God'

('Into My Arms', on the album 'The Boatman's Call')

 

[On the Left Wing]

No contest IMHO:

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

 

[Dandyman]

Right now ha ha...

I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passerby
'cause

I wanna be anarcheeeeeeeeeeeeee


Marvelous scenes.

 

[lost in london]

This is a song for the ladies
But fellas listen closely
You don't always have to f*** her hard
In fact sometimes that's not right to do
Sometimes you've got to make some love
And fuckin give her some smoochies too

and the rest of the song in case you're interested:

Sometimes ya got to squeeze
Sometimes you've got to say please
Sometime you've got to say hey
I'm gonna f*** you softly
I'm gonna screw you gently
I'm gonna hump you sweetly
I'm gonna ball you discreetly
And then you say hey I bought you flowers
And then you say wait a minute sally
I think I got somethin in my teeth
Could you get it out for me
That's fuckin teamwork
Whats your favorite posish?
That's cool with me
Its not my favorite
But I'll do it for you
Whats your favorite dish?
Im not gonna cook it
But ill order it from Zanzibar
And then I'm gonna love you completely
And then I'll fuckin f*** you discreetly
And then I'll f***ing bone you completely
But then I'm gonna f*** you hard
Hard

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Brucie does quite a nice line in opening lyrics.

"The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only..."

(Thunder Road)

You ain't a beauty but hey your alright..

 

[Brighton Breezy]

'I need to be myself, I cant be no-one else'

Arseholes bastards f**king c**ts and pricks

Plaistow Patricia by Ian Dury & The Blockheads

Marvellous scenes

Top bloody quality Hiney . . .that got me thrown out of music lessons at school when I was 12

arseholes, bastards f***ing ***** and pricks

aerosole, the bricks
a lawless brat from a council flat oh, oh
a little bit of this and a little bit of that oh, oh
dirty tricks

from the Mile End Road to the Matchstick Beacontree
pulling strokes and taking liberties
she liked it best when she went up west oh, oh
you can go to hell with your 'well, well, well' oh, oh

well who said good things always come in threes?
reds and yellows, purples, blues and greens
she turned the corner before she turned fifteen
she got into a mess on the NHS oh, oh
it runs down your arms and settles in your palms oh, oh

keep your eyeballs white and keep your needles clean

chorus
plaistow patrica (x5)

well her tits had dropped, her arse was getting spread
she lost some teeth, she nearly lost the thread
'till she did some smack with a Chineese chap oh, oh
and affair began with Charley Chan oh, oh

well that was jsut before she really lost her head
now she owns a showroom down at the Mile End Road
and her outer garments are the latest mode
there's a siemese cat in a council flat oh, oh
the finest grains for my lady's veins oh, oh

and when it gets out of order, she goes away for a bit

repeat chorus

G'WAN GIRL!!

 

[Life After Bobby]

Bless my cotton socks I’m in the news

 

[Marshy]

good golly miss molly

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Bless my cotton socks I’m in the news

now that is a good call.

 

[Pavilionaire]

"Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as..."

 

[Nobby Nomates]

The distant echo -
of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
the ones that they love and who love them forever

 

[Blackadder]

Going back about 30 years!

"Walk through the bathroom door"
("did you ever? did you ever?")

"See your sister in the Raw"
("you know you did! you know you did!")



Remember the song well. can't remember who sung it! (heavy metal)

 

[Publius Ovidius]

"I hear the dripping of the rain
Like the memories it falls
Soft and warm, continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls"

When you're weary,
feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them ...awayyyyyyyy

Lovelly songs with no gratuitous bad language ( that some seem to find clever on here)

 

[Thimble Keegan]

I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me.

Albion, England & Stone Roses forever.

Thimble Keegan
Worthing BHA

 

[Pavilionaire]

"You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met yooou..."

 

[chip]

Talking to no-one is strange,
Talking to someone is stranger,
and you might be in danger,
if you say too much in this world.

There must be some way out of here said the joker to the thief,
there's too much confusion, I can't get no relief

Top bloody quality Hiney . . .that got me thrown out of music lessons at school when I was 12

a little bit of this and a little bit of that oh, oh
dirty tricks
.....

When the whistle blows and the fans cheer
You can hear that roar from the Palace Pier


The Goldstone Rap
