"Son, now you're thirty, I only went with your mother cos she's dirty, and I don't have a decent bone in me, what you get is what you see yeah" Kinky Afro, The Happy Mondays.

I can feel the earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
And spiral through another day
I hear my song begin to say
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
The past was yours
But the future's mine
Stone Roses, She Bangs the Drum.

How soon is now?
Arseholes, Bastards, f***ing C*nts and pricks - Plaistow Patricia, Ian Dury and the Blockheads
My all time favorite opener.Guess the band
He joined up to get a job
And show he wasn't scared
Swapped boy scout hat for army cap
At the age of 17 he was forced to choose
Now at the age of 21 he's in Catch 22
He joined up for just three years
It seemed a small amount
But they didn't tell him
That the first two didn't count
At the age of 17 how was he to know
That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?

I also thought this was:
Son, Im 30
I only went with your mother cause shes dirty
And I dont have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see yeah
Although I might be wrong and often am.

Tin Soldiers by the mighty SLF, I'm more of a Suspect Device fan myself, but good song nonetheless.

Fourteenth Eye
Face for Radio
here, sitting in my room, with The Replacements and Husker Du, like a rebel without a clue
and the Beatles and the Stones get to hang out with Ramones
and the Pistols shunning fame, as they sing the old refrain
as they always will again, like 29 x the pain
I see Starz, and the moon is Big and Black, well there's a full Sheer Heart Attack
a-but the cheapest trick of all is when I hear that London call
I need something and I need it fast, I need Jason Scorching past
I need to feel they feel the same, 'cos when they almost know my name it's like 29 x the pain

OUTRAGEOUS, that was honestly the post I had in mind when I saw the thread title.

I was about to post the exact same one!
How about:
Saturday's boys live life with insults,
Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results.
So many Jam first liners to choose from...
Life is timeless days are long when you're young

Well that line was spoken by Phil Daniels, who was born in Islington.
