Best opening song lyrics.

[dad_of_jon]

What do you think is the best opening song lyric?

Perhaps if you post the song/artist and let us find out the first line ourselves?

I present - Kraftwerk - Showroom Dummies. (I would hasten to add counting in the start of a song doesn't qualify. ;-) )

...the old home town looks the same..as I step down off the train.

Not the best but it'll baffle a few if they don't google.

"Standing in the door of the pink flamingo crying in the rain"

I‘m not a big Elbow fan but
“I’ve been working on a cocktail called grounds for divorce”
always amused me.

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Hey hey Mamma going make you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove...

 

[ChilledGecko]

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me.

Led Zepp - Thank You*

* Yes I'm Old, I was also introduced to Zepp VERY VERY young

Ah, bugger!

Hey hey Mamma going make you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove...

Oops sorry, just re-read the instructions... I’ll come up with another

I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.

I'm not doing myself any favours with the age of my posts

I particularly like the intro to ‘rock and roll suicide’ on Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album (well, to be fair, pretty much any of the intros on that album)

 

[Clint]

Well I quite my job down at the car wash...left my momma a goodbye note..

 

[ChilledGecko]

Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye

Saw these at our local village / town hall in 1974
Guessing at around 30 of us in the room!

Please allow me to introduce myself i'm a man of wealth and taste, sympathy for the devil Rolling Stones

 

[Alastair70]

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me.

My wife walked up the aisle to that, caused a bit of amusement in the registry office!

How about...
It was on the good ship Venus...

 

[ChilledGecko]

It was on the good ship Venus...

"My god you should have seen us"

 

[Scrattajack]

Pulling the ice axe from my leg
I staggered on
Spindrift stinging my remaining eye

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Hello.... is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me - is there anyone home?

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air

 

[ChilledGecko]

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
