What are your favourite opening lines of songs?

[mumpcake]

I went home with a waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians too?

[dark water]

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I've got

[vurt]

boris johnson is a facking kant

Too true, but what's your fav opening line?

[thecontrolcentre]

I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving, England is mine. It owes me a living.

You can knock this up for Music Cafe in a couple of days, surely?
I'm getting hints of The Fall and some industrial synth soundscape...


Anyway, as per the thread:

Sunday morning I'm waking up.
Can't even focus on a coffee cup.
Don't even know whose bed I'm in.
Where do I start?
Where do I begin?

Morrissey lost it. Badly. I always think he's like the British Michael Jackson. No-one told him what he was doing was wrong. Very different people + alleged lapses in morality obviously, but similar in the way I've outlined

Beth Orton/ Chems right? Lost in the K-Hole on the same album I think. Both crackers but the rest of the album is patchy, like err ... every other Chemical Brothers album. Or is that just me?

[dark water]

Absolutely!
I think the Chems did a good job overall with this album but they moved out of their initial underground early 90s years to chasing catchy but popular tunes by the time of 1997's "Dig you own hole", imho.
"Block Rockin' Beats" and "Setting Sun" are a pre-taster to what they went on to become (and lost).
There are some nice percussion funky workouts on this album, as well as the trippy "The Private Psychedelic Reel".
But for me, Beth Orton's collaboration was the highlight (well the first melodic half of the song before it finishes up in overdone mechanical sounds which carry on for too long, imo).


As for the thread:

Over the past few years,
To the traditional sounds of the English summer...

[leeleema]

...

Cool. Good choices, man. I had to look up the last one - absolute classic. I only found out last year that the entire track, apart from the vocal, consists entirely of samples.

I'll take your The Orb and give you some shite:

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot doot dooo

[dark water]

Haha! Some Des'ree, thanks

As per the thread:


I've been walking in the rain
Just to get wet on purpose.

[Googly Smythe]

All hands on deck
We've run afloat
I heard the captain cry.
Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive.
