Music thread - Best opening line to a song

[Da Man Clay]

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Mama, just killed a man
put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger now he's dead....

....as played by Southern FM following the breaking news of the Dunblane massacre.

Always hated that overrated song.

 

[The-Libertine]

God save the Queen
The Facist regime

 

[BensGrandad]

Im back to let you know that I can really shake em down ..............Brian Poole and the Tremeloes way back in the 60s. Where had he been?

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Not going to TRAWL through seven pages, but:

"She was just seventeen, you know what I mean..."

 

[hart's shirt]

"When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads."

 

[Moshe Gariani]

The distant echo - of faraway voices boarding faraway trains...

 

[Grendel]

Bolton, Barnsley, Nelson, Colne, Burnley, Bradford, Buxton, Crewe, Warrington, Widnes, Wigan, Leeds, Northwich, Nantwich, Knutsford, Hull, Sale, Salford, Southport, Leigh, Derby, Kearsley, Keighley, Maghull, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Oldham, Lancs, Grimsby, Glossop, Hebden Bridge

It’s Grim Up North,
It’s Grim Up North.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

When your heart is black and broken
And you need a helping hand
When you're so much in love
You don't know just how much you can stand

 

[fatbadger]

I don't believe in an interventionist God

 

[hans kraay fan club]

[and the rest of it, for it a cracker...]

when your questions go unanswered
And the silence is killing you
Take my hand baby I'm your man
I got loving enough for two

Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you
And I love you true

There's no sure-fire set solutions
No shortcut through the trees
No breach in the wall that they put there to keep you from me
As you're lying awake in this darkness
This everlasting night
Someday soon don't know where or when
You're gonna wake up and see the light

Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you
And I love you true

 

[Gyuribá]

Isten, áldd meg a magyart! Jó kedvvel, bőséggel.

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

 

[Titanic]

The distant echo - of faraway voices boarding faraway trains...

It was a winner yesterday... and it still is today!

 

[Dave the OAP]

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like the memories it falls
Soft and warm, continuing
tapping on my roof and walls

 

[Icy Gull]

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

 

[Buzzer]

never felt a song sung to me more than this one now. Life's a **** sometimes.

 

[Les Biehn]

Use me like a Punchbag - The Bees.

perhaps if whoever wrote that was a tad happier then he may find someone who wants to share his life......

Naughty boys in nasty schools,
Headmasters breaking all the rules...
