Music thread - Best opening line to a song

[Grendel]

Miguel has set up home with a woman half my age, a half-wit in a leotard stands on my stage.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

woke up, got outta bed, dragged a comb across my head


( not me obviously)

 

[Barrel of Fun]

woke up, got outta bed, dragged a comb across my head


( not me obviously)

I was going to say that, but does it count as an opening line? Whichever way, quite clearly the greatest song from Los Beatles.

 

[Simster]

Paranoid man
In mid 30s
at the height of paranoia
at the zenith of his powers


Come to think of it, most of Mark E Smith's lyrics are top.

 

[Icy Gull]

Not actually an opening line though Dave

I read the news today, oh boy

 

[Titanic]

On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere...

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Not actually an opening line though Dave

I read the news today, oh boy

[John Boy]

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.

 

[Titanic]

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you...

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I am contemplating a Krispesesque FLOUNCE

 

[Titanic]

My Daddy left home when I was three,
and he didn't leave much to Ma and me...

 

[Buzzer]

Or even a Dave Stewart/Barbara Gascoigne(?) -it's my party type flounce then?

 

[Icy Gull]

" requiem Aeternum."

[Pevenseagull]

today it's:

Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in

 

[Titanic]

Now is the time for marching, now let your hearts be gay...

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

All those lonely blues songs, you might feel that you wrote 'em,
you might be sad and think that life has kicked you in the scrotum.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

"load up on guns, and bring your friends."

 

[The Large One]

I'm standing in the road
A man without a home
My friends all pass me by and never say a word
