It's saturday & no football to look forward to. How about a tribute to the great lyricists of our Time. I Give you the great Ian Dury.
I gave her lots of brandy
Took 8 to make her randy
& all I had was shandy

always loved th eopening two lines of this Springsteen track Spare Parts:

Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in,
Janey had a baby it wasn't any sin,
They were set to marry on a summer day,
Bobby got scared and he ran away.

Dance with me,I want my arms about you,
The charms about you will carry me through
To......................

if you're going down that road you then can't beat the Mondays' opening line to Kinky Afro - "Son I'm 30, I only went with your mother cos she's dirty, and I don't have a decent bone in me, what you get is just what see yeah".
For pure lyrical mastery however no one can top the Mozzfather himself, good old Morrissey.

well if you're on a Ian Dury trip this has always bought a smile to my face - makes a great ringtone but switch it off for important meetings!

Certainly the most original opening line I know,
Definitely worth another listen.

must be a mention for Paul Westerberg, for:

"The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them

We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons".
