Music thread - Best opening line to a song

[Titanic]

Good morning Miss,
Can I help you son?
Sixteen today,
And up for fun...

 

[Titanic]

Hey you, don't watch that!
Watch this!
This is the heavy heavy monster sound...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

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

thanks Titanic - I knew I could rely on someone to have TRAWLED through all 7 pages... some of us can't spend all day on here reading every word of every thread, etc etc...

have we had this one yet?

When I was just a little boy - I asked my muvva what should I be...?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

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

Chin up mate.

I'm pinning my hopes on the posh teacher.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

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

......but then he [Dave Gahan / Depeche Mode] wouldn't have written such a GREAT song.

I don't see it at all as miserablist anyway - I think its quite an uplifting song.

A very good friend of mine had it played in church as his wife walked up the ailse. It was tres moving, I can tell thee.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

where do we go from here?
the words are coming out all weird, where are you now? when i neeeeeeed you.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

Chin up mate.

I'm pinning my hopes on the posh teacher.

oh, yeah, buz.

how did that go, mate?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

where do we go from here?
.

Is it down to the lake, I fear?.....

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

Is it down to the lake, I fear?.....

are they back together?

 

[Buzzer]

oh, yeah, buz.

how did that go, mate?

went well but now she's going cold. Women - don't get 'em at all.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

went well but now she's going cold. Women - don't get 'em at all.

your first mistake is trying to understand them at all, i fear. truly the application of chaos theory. well, i hope she 'warms up', pal.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

are they back together?

Haircut 100?

I shouldn't think so!

 

[Buzzer]

not 1st lines but great lines all the same:

2 lovers missing the tranquility of solitude - GENIUS


The wind's whistling
My mind's twisting
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
When the doorbell strangely rang

Because I've been up here for a while
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
I'm not so manic now
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
The post-natal harmonies of youth
When this younger man, twenty-five
Advantageously took away her pride

Steady on. Don't forget that Sarah Cracknell is 'rubbish'.

Not a very well known song this, but one of Jarvis' finest. I think it was on the Trainspotting soundtrack;


We didn't have nowhere to live,
we didn't have nowhere to go
til someone said
"I know this place off Burdett Road."
It was on the fifteenth floor,
it had a board across the door.
It took an hour
to prise it off and get inside.
It smelt as if someone had died;
the living room was full of flies,
the kitchen sink was blocked,
the bathroom sink not there at all.

Ooh, it's a mess alright,
yes it's
Mile End.

And now we're living in the sky
I never thought I'd live so high,
just like Heaven,
if it didn't look like Hell.
The lift is always full of piss,
the fifth floor landing smells of fish
not just on Friday,
every single other day.
Below the kids come out at night,
they kick a ball and have a fight
and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.

Ooh,
it's a mess alright,
yes it's
Mile End.

Nobody wants to be your friend
cos you're not from round here, ooh
As if that was something to be proud about.
The pearly king of the Isle of Dogs
feels up children in the bogs.
Down by the playing fields, someone sets a car on fire
I guess you have to go right down
before you understand just how,
how low,
how low a human being can go.

Ooh,
it's a mess alright,
yes it's
Mile End.

 

[The Large One]

Just a quick headcount here... Are The Jam and Madness the most prominent on this thread? Who else is here several times over?

 

[Buzzer]

Steady on. Don't forget that Sarah Cracknell is 'rubbish'.

'tis dubstar, mate. Not St Etienne.

My favourite line from a St Etienne song is the one that goes : "rain falls like Elvis tears".

f***ing poetry and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.



...and back to the thread...


What were the skies like when you were young?

or one for HKFC

a young lady arrives home from a bar, guess
what she sees? there is a naked person in my flat he's got a weird expression
on his face! oh my god and jesus as well, what are you doing here, are you
hurting your chest, offending yourself, forcing yourself into pain like there
is no tommorow? you should use the pain and sorrow to fill you up with power,
life's both sweet and sour. he looks at me hopeless with tears in his eyes,
goes out of the window and up on the roof. naked man calm down, i'll give
you some strawberry cake, don't act like there is no tomorrow, life's both
sweet and sour. tak'i takt & trega. ja!

'tis dubstar, mate. Not St Etienne.

Hahaha what a KNOB.

I was singing it in my head 'Not so manic noooow' and it sounded just like Sarah Cracknell!

Of course had I sung it out loud, it would have sounded like James Cracknell.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

Haircut 100?

I shouldn't think so!

i seem to remember some rumblings a couple of years ago. thought a reforming was on the cards, no?

 

[Titanic]

Where it began,
I can't begin to know it,
but then I know it's growing strong...
