Great opening lines from DEBUT singles

[El Presidente]

Harmful elements in the air,
Cymbals crashing everywhere

Hong Kong Garden: Siouxsie and the Banshees.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

She was a Wonder Girl, some girl, that girl....


44 years later, and they're my tip for a Christmas no1

 

[El Presidente]

Standing on the beach with a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea, staring at the sand

Killing an Arab; The Cure

 

[Tarpon]

Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
No it's not like any other love
This one is different because it's us

 

[Beach Hut]

Belligerent ghouls run Manchester schools

EDIT don't think it was a debut single

 

[AmexRuislip]

Green Day -Longview

"Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm f*cking lazy"

 

[Ernest]

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

 

[Spicy]

In a city like mine, there's no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion

Keane - Silenced by the Night

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Are all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Are very good indeed

 

[El Presidente]

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

Sir Rick of Astley

 

[jonny.rainbow]

I need to be myself, I can't be no one else.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Hey Ho, Let's Go
Hey Ho, Let's Go

 

[Stat Brother]

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

 

[Austrian Gull]

I choose my friends only far too well
And I'm up on the pavement, they're all down in the cellar
With their government grants and my I.Q.
They brought me down to size, Academia Blues

Surely in the Top 10 greatest debut singles.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I said a hip hop,
Hippie to the hippie,
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it,
To the bang, bang boogie, say up jump the boogie,
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

 

[Tarpon]

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

Debut?

 

[El Presidente]

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

Party Fears Two: The Associates

 

[Stat Brother]

Debut?

 

[El Presidente]

Son she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy
Was nothin' but a...

While you were sitting
Home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dying

 

[Gregory2Smith1]
