What are your favourite opening lines of songs?

[bmanic]

"The world is a vampire..."

[vurt]

dormant vices turned on their devices
now she's raising money for the sex appeal
and when she grazed her knee upon the astroturf
all her blood turned green as the tv screamed

[vurt]

hermann loves pauline
and pauline loves hermann
they made love and gave birth to a little german

[vurt]

chupacabra
chupacabra
chupacabra
chupacabra

[vurt]

you and me, and the guy from sparks
hangin out
with howard marks


(favourite line "throw a penny in to my plastic satellite dish and make a wish!")

[Erisian]

My breath smells of a thousand fags

[vurt]

my brother
knows karl marx
he met him eating mushrooms
in the peoples park

[Erisian]

Take your medicine
Scent and roses
One for the sake of it
Keep to small doses

[spunkmuffin]

why are there so many songs about rainbows

[Erisian]

In the beginning was the world
Man said "Let there be more light"

[spunkmuffin]

I want to break free

[Erisian]

Sun quite bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eider down
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind its branches round

[vurt]

shes got spies
and theyre looking out for me
but its not like the kgb
its just a game we play

[Erisian]

I could quote lots of Pink Floyd but this here is my absolute favourite opening from them:

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand

[ariston]

And under the boughs unbowed
All clothed in a snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed
