Best opening lyrics to a song

[ziggy]

Born down in a dead mans town. The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
(Born in the USA)

 

[ziggy]

I've been going out with a girl, her name is Julie.But last night she said to me while we were watching telly.
She said "Listen, John, I love you, but there's this bloke I fancy. I can't stand to two-time you so it's the end for you and me"
(Jilted John-Jilted John)

 

[Wienergull]

A deep vein here with the GD, Weingull you must be a friend of the devil

I do like a nice glass of Rotwein while I listen to Jerry and the boys.

 

[chip]

Whoever we are Wherever we're from
We shoulda noticed by now Our behavior is dumb
And if our chances Expect to improve
It's gonna take a lot more Than tryin' to remove
The other race Or the other whatever
From the face Of the planet altogether

They call it THE EARTH Which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right 'Cause we behave the same...
*We are dumb all over*
Dumb all over, Yes we are
Dumb all over, Near 'n far
Dumb all over, Black 'n white
People, we is not wrapped tight

Frank Zappa - RIP

Monty Python - Medical Love Song

"Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile"


The Chi-Lites - Homely Girl

"It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
You looked better in the dark
Now they'd give all they learned at school
To be somewhere in the dark with you"

 

[interjambo]

"I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
Turn the switch and check the number
Leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand just what does he say?

I'm on a mexican radio
I'm on a mexican radio"

Wall of Voodoo

OR

"Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough"

Well you can tell by the way I use my walk,

'I got permission to put ya mamma in a headlock'

and , from the same artist:

'Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way'



Both, great opening lines!

 

[Marc]

not sure if I put this one up before but this ones by The Vandals:

"Soup of the day flavour of the month,
Stain in your pants from your bleeding ****"

 

[Dover]

Oh good heavens now where is my medicine,
I must have left it outside with my ettiquite.
The undertakers got a rule of thumb,
It's hard to talk with a novocane tounge.

X ray Specs (Polly Styrene)

Although it's anti septic
your deodorant smells nice,
I'd like to get to know you
you're deep frozen like the ice,
she's a germ free adolescent
cleanliness is her obsession,
cleans her teeth ten times a day
scrub away, scrub away, scrub away

or a couple of Elvis Costello's

oh I just don't know where to begin

or

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night

 

[whitelion]

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,

And I want it now......

[Wozza]

I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bare
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care

Opening verse of Sleep to Dream, Fiona Apple.

Marvellous.

Blimey, there's a memory. Bought that album, can't think for the life of me why. Its got about 83 tracks on it (each about 20 seconds long), hasn't it?

Think it was consigned to room 101 years ago.......

 

[Superphil]

Well, it's not quite 80 tracks, but it has a short track at the beginning and end of each side, "Squeezing..." is one of them. I picked it up on CD recently, and sadly I have to say I still enjoy listening to it, it's on in the car at the moment, halfway through "You Can't Kill Me"

I bought it when it first came out 1970ish. Virgin record label if I remember correctly. I think I played it a couple of times, but as I had so much other music I didn't persevere.

Be interesting to see if my tastes have changed, if I played it now.

 

[Rambo]

So close no matter how far,
couldnt be much more from the heart,
forever trust in who you are
and nothing else matters.

[Biscuit]

Oh here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we're hittin' the road
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

Well gidy up gidy up and get away
We're goin' crazy and we're goin' today
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-li-like it, li-li-li-like it
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

I'm gonna tell your mama what you're gonna do
So come on out with your dancing shoes
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-li-like it, li-li-li-like it
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-li-like it, li-li-li-like it
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-li-like it, li-li-li-like it
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-li-like it, li-li-li-like it
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world
