Best opening line in a song

[Picto_Leng]

I could have read a poem called Ozymandias to her instead.

Ugly; Stranglers.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

'Up The Boro, The Boro's Going Up'

 

[borolad259]

"I'm ten feet under water
Standing in a sunken canoe"

Love is a Sign - The Go Betweens

 

[lostinyorkshire]

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on

 

[Trug]

I see a bad moon rising

Creedence Clearwater Revival. LOVE THEM

 

[Trug]

Cuma westas chickadee
Have a housemaid on your knee
Eat an apple ev'ry day
An onion keeps ev'ryone away

Another brilliant band

 

[r00fie1]

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
........

 

[borolad259]

"She lives in a steel comb world
Where sad men in leather will fight over girls"

The Human Face - Doll By Doll

 

[Duffman]

I've come across the desert
To greet you with a smile
My camel looks so tired
It's hardly worth my while

 

[RilloRed]

Strands of light on a bedroom floor , change the night through an open door
Amoureuse by Kiki Dee

 

[Northerner]

Sittin' in a sleazy snack bar sucking,
Sickly sausage rolls

Fog on the Tyne - Lindisfarne

 

[mfc-merseyside]

Can’t get the stink off
He’s been hanging round for days

I like not naming the song in this thread. It becomes like a music quiz.

 

[atypical_boro]

Used all my options
Worked off my dues
Laid all the cards down
There's nothing to lose
Don't want tomorrow to be like today
That's why I'm breaking away

 

[HarryVegas]

Thank you for the flowers,
I threw them on the fire
And I burned the photograph
That you had enclosed -
God, they were ugly children!

 

[Rofesleg]

"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand"

A very familiar sounding opening riff....

 

[Winston Smith]

Two favs are:

“I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses”

&

“I wanna slit your throat and f*** the wound
Wanna push my face in and feel the swoon”

With an honourable mention too

“Old Red eyes is back
Red from the night before the night before”

 

[Biggy]

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red

 

[Rofesleg]

My, brother, knows, Karl Marx, he met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park, he said 'What do you think about my manifesto? 'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.'

I loved Moone Boy.

 

[anth25]

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

 

[equaliser]

I don't believe in an interventionist God - but I know, darling, that you do
