Music thread - Best opening line to a song

[Buzzer]

Simple premise...your favourite opening line to a song.

I've got a few.

Number 1 is the Happy Mondays Kinky Afro: "son, I'm 30 and I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty"

Number 2: Squeeze: Up the Junction: "i never thought it would happen with me and a girl from Clapham"

Number 3: New Order, True Faith: "I feel so extraordinary, something's got a hold on me"

 

[The Large One]

'I never though I'd miss you half as much as I do.'

 

[house your seagull]

not sure if lyrics are exact but ...

"stop dreaming of the quiet life 'cos it's one you'll never know"

 

[Buzzer]

come on people - give us the song name at least. Took me ages to get TLO's Madness reference.

Down in Albion, they're black and blue, but we don't talk about that.

The rain falls hard, on a humdrum town....

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Every day is like Sunday, every day is silent and grey,
In the seaside town, that they forgot to close down....

 

[Trufflehound]

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

"This ain't rock and roll, this is genocide."

 

[Buzzer]

So many Smiths ones.

Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head..

Last night I dreamed that somebody loved me. No hope no harm just another false alarm.

Sweetness, Sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head.

I was minding my business, I was lifting some lead of the roof of the holy named church.

Girlfriend in a Coma I know it's serious...



and on and on....

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now...

 

[Trufflehound]

On the Sex Pistols' version of Substitute:

"You don't need permission for anything!"

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith

"Arseholes Bastards f***ing ****s and Pricks"

 

[Trufflehound]

"Hi there, nice to be with you. Happy you could stick around. Like to introduce 'Legs' Larry Smith on drums..."

 

[Buzzer]

I was 22 years when I wrote this song, I'm 23 now and it won't be long

Standing in the door of the pink flamingo, crying in the rain. DER DER.

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Tony only reads Asian Babes

(Danny's doing doves down the raves
Terry drinks his money away
Oh god, and his sons play drums all day)

Suede - Young Men

Sorry to be PEDANTIC, but I think you were 21 when you wrote it, and 22 'now'...
