Greatest opening lines in music history

[godsfavoritedog]

Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool.
Got the 12 o'clock news blues.
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps and a bottle of cold brew.

Easy one ...someday an oldie!!

Styx - Too Much Time On My hands.

 

[SixFive]

some of my favorites from Metallica

some of my favorites from Metallica

:Yep: :Yep: :Yep:
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Guilty as charged
But damn it, it ain't right
There is someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Suspicion Is Your Name
Your Honesty to Blame
Put Dignity to Shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt Modern Day
Determining Decay
The Blattand Disarray
Disfigure
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

 

[SixFive]

another favorite band...

Just a' urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
Cause worryin's a waste of my... time

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwN3rSrvaE


You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide

3 more good ones! Just picked up the Doors 3 box set. Good sounds.

 

[godsfavoritedog]

2 more good ones I heard earlier today:

Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent

___

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel

 

[smurphy]

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Hey Macarena

 

[The Judge]

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

 

[RexBudler]

Do you really want to hurt me

 

[smurphy]

I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist

 

[IE]

pretty much what i hum late at night......

"Honey don't walk out I'm too drunk to follow
You know you won't feel this way tomorrow"

--Tom Petty

 

[smurphy]

How come you're always such a fussy young man,
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran,
Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan,
So eat it, just eat it.

 

[IE]

"I was born in a class-five hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain"

---Stones'

 

[redsfann]

Not quite the 1st words of the song, but...

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name

 

[yyz]

"I was born in a class-five hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain"

---Stones'

:nono:

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane

 

[freelancc]

[Morris]

I know you guys have heard this one..Know what it is?

In a place you always dream of where your soul is always free.

Silver stages, golden curtains, filled my head plain as could be.

As a rainbow grew round the sun all the stars I've loved who died.
