Best opening lyrics to a song

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

"You can't take me anywhere,
I'll strip down to my underwear
if you give me half a chance."

 

[tedebear]

Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,
We've just come out of the Mulga where the plains forever roll.
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,
And a shower has changed the lustre of our land.

And it's raining on the Rock,
In a beautiful country,
And I'm proud to travel this big land,
As an Aborigine.
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see,
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me.

 

[Meade's Ball]

In 1984 i was hospitalised for approaching perfection.

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

The Winker's Song (misprint)
By Ivor Biggun


My mother said that I never should
play with the naughty, rude girls in the wood.
Their giggling talk I could never understand,
and that's why I fell in love with my right hand

 

[fleet]

Agree with Lush about Thunder Road, but Billy Bragg has some good ones...


"I hate the arsehole I become every time I'm with you......
....... I know that I'm guilty but I don't know what I've done and you're not about to let me join the fun are you?, you're not about to let me join the fun,"

and "I was 21 years when I worte this song I'm 22 now but I wont be for long, people ask me when will you grow up to be a man when the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams,"


Similar theme different artist "you've done too much much much too young now you're married with a kid when you should be having fun with me.."

 

[Curious Orange]

I can wait to love in heaven
I can wait for you
Far away, I'll treat you better
Better than down here

(Faith No More - Take This Bottle)

 

[bobbyzee]

nobody knows it, but you've got a secret smile
and you use it only for me....

secret smile by semisonic...wicked track!

 

[Gwylan]

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)

It was a band called CCS, fronted by Alexis Korner. They also did the Whole Lotta Love that was the theme music for TOTP for years.

My choice for opening lines. "I spent all my money in a Mexican whorehouse across the road from the Catholic church". Tom Waits - Mr Siegal

 

[zefarelly]

I've been loving you too long to stop now


You are tired .. and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
[Ohh] I've been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now

With you my life huh
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

You are tired .. and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair, affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't want to stop now

ohh
ohh
ohh

I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now

ohh
ohh
ohh

And don't make me stop now
Oh baby
I'm down on my knees
Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you, I love you with all my heart
And I can't stop now
Please, please, please don't make me stop now
yeah yeah yeah
I love you
I love you
Talkin' 'bout heart and soul
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Good God almighty but I love you
I love you
I love you


classic Otis Redding

You are a man of taste, MB.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

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

I love that song!!! pure class!!!!

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Does anybody know how long to World War Three?
I wanna know, I've gotta book me holidee.
They want me in the army, but I just can't go,
I'm far too busy listening to the radio

It's cold outside
And the paints peeling off my walls
Theres a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London
"Saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of Soho in the rain, he was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's, going to get a big dish of beef chow mein"

Another favourite from the late, great Mr Zevon:

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian hotel
Staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn’t lyin'
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I’m gonna drink ‘em up

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing
Until I’ve paid my bill.

 

[Beach Hut]

I never thought it would happen
With me and a girl from Clapham

September ’77
Port Elizabeth, weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619.
