Favourite Opening Lines to a song....

Well a teacher of mine once told me
That life was just a list of disappoints and defeats
And you could only do your best,
And I said "That's a fukcing cop-out,
you're just washed up and your tired,
and when I get to your age I won't be such a coward"
 
While the music played
You worked by candlelight
Those San Francisco nights
You were the best in town

'Kid Charlemagne' by Steely Dan

Awesome track which blew me away when I first heard it back in the day. Featuring superb musicianship all round and two guitar solos each of which could lay claim to being the GOAT guitar solo. Take a bow Larry Carlton.
 
There was a bloke.
An underwhelming bloke with dodgy knees.
Got thrills from hanging around ponds and upsetting birdies.
That bloke just f*cked a heron
That bloke just f*cked a heron.

Song for Nobby by The Bum faced Band.

I may have stolen a bit of that from another song.
 
And I've run out of pale ale
And I feel like I'm in jail
And my music bores me once again
And I've been on the pinball
And I know longer know it all
And they say that you never know when you're insane

Pinball - Bryan Protheroe.
