Music thread - Best opening line to a song

[Fungus]

"Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home I said"

 

[jakarta]

Maybe not the 'best' but a personal favourite is Baby's on Fire by Brian Eno

Baby's on fire, better throw her in the water,
Look at her laughing, like a heifer to the slaughter

 

[scooter1]

Just an urchin living under the street, a hardcase thats tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat, take it to the end of the line,
I'll pay you at another time

or,

What a waster, what a f***ing waster
Round the corner where they chased her

 

[Questions]

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith

He`s only gone and nailed it.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

"Libraries gave us power/Then work came and set us free"

 

[The Face]

"Do you know why you've got feelings in your heart, don't let fear of feeling fool you, what you see sets you apart"

"Follow through, make your dreams come true, don't give up the fight, you'll be alright.. cos there's no-one like you in the universe"
- Muse ~ Invincible

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I've met a girl who makes me feel sea sick
oh what a skill to have, oh what a skill to have.

(Kill The Director - The Wombats)

 

[Norman Potting]

Closer than close, you see yourself,
A mirrored image of what you wanted to be...

"Private Hell" by the Jam - a great song and great opening line.

...However, not as great at "Watsa matter you, show some respect"

 

[butchy]

Breathe...breathe in the air
Dont be afraid to care

 

[Domsdad]

People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two

Of course it helps that this is the best song in the world - ever

 

[Barrow Boy]

The beach is a place where a man can feel,
he's the only soul in the world that's real.

The Who, Bell Boy (Quadrophenia)

 

[Mr deez]

Yes - the rhythm, the rebel
Without a pause - I'm lowering my level

 

[Gully]

OK, how about these classics:

I was going out with a girl, her name was Julie - Jilted John by Jilted John.

Ever since he was a young boy he played the silver ball, from Soho down to Brighton he must have played them all - Pinball Wizard by the Who.

Last night as I slept I dreamt I met with Behan, I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day - The dark streets of London by Pogue Mahone.

 

[smelly]

Sirens are screaming and the fires are howling way down in the valley tonight.....

 

[smelly]

Spent too much of my time buying dinner and wine and me money on flowers and lollys,
Only to find that what on me mind isnt on hers and shes sorry.

[Knightsworld]

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream

 

[m20gull]

"Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud"

says it all

 

[bathseagull]

"Is it my imagination or have I finally found something worth living for?"

Oasis - Cigarettes and Alcohol

 

[Buzzer]

I'm gonna love you - till you love me then no more
You're gonna need me - like I need you right now
I'm gonna screw you - for all you're worth and no more
You're gonna need me - it's the same in any language

Apollo 440 - Pain in any language
