Favourite Opening Lines to a song....

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
The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
 
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
 
I've been working on a cocktail, called grounds for divorce

Or possibly....

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off a heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun
 
Kirsty MacColl ( 10 October 1959 – 18 December 2000)
Practically every opening line of everything she wrote.
