Best opening song lyrics.

[MickDundee]

I met this girl, she looked like Axl Rose
I got drunk and took her home, where we slept in our clothes

Ben Folds Five “Julianne”

 

[Shirley Bassett]

Perhaps one for today’s yoof in these COVID times.

I know you're antiseptic, your deodorant smells nice
I'd like to get to know you, you're deep frozen like the ice
He's a germ free adolescent, cleanliness is her obsession.

X-ray specs

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Hendrix not Dylan.

Dylan wrote it. He was prolific & wrote for quite a few people.

 

[hop-a-long]

Here are a couple for you:
Taling Heads: Psycho Killer
I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Genesis: Land of confusion
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Midnight Oil: Beds are Burning
Out where the river broke
The blood-wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Finished with my woman because she couldn't help me with my mind,
People say I'm insane because I'm frowning all the time.

 

[Clint]

My baby and me went out late Saturday night..
I had my hair piled high my baby just looks all right .
Pick you up at 10 gonna have you home by 2
Your mamma doesn't know what I got in store for you
But that's OK coz we're looking as cool as can be!
Rock this town. Stray Cats

 

[robster62]

Hendrix not Dylan.

Written by Dylan. Though hendrix version more famous.

 

[MagnusTS]

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)

Love that song. My favourite Bowie song.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Gonna make sure it never happens again, chippy?

"It was a kind of so-so love "

 

[DavieC]

'Almost heaven,West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains,Shanandoah river.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

'Almost heaven,West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains,Shanandoah river.

Life is old there older than the trees Younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze

 

[Chippy_Tea]

"New blood joins this earth and quickly he's subdued"

 

[Banbeer]

"I've been going out with a girl
Her name is Julie
But last night she said to me
When we were watching telly"

 

[Clint]

I never thought it could happen with a girl from Clapham..

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Teenage kicks so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhooh
Wish she was mine she kooks so good

 

[jceg316]

On the Sabbath bandwagon:

Revolution in their minds the children start to march
Against a world in which they have to live
And all the hatred in their hearts

Children of the Grave was written as an anti war song, but listening to it today it really works very well as a protest song about climate change.

 

[Pavros]

Tell me the legends of long ago

 

[Pavros]

And not an opening lyric but one of my favourites:

I see convoys curb crawling West German autobahns
Trying to pick up a war
They're going to even the score

 

[Clint]

I've got a cousin called Kevin...

 

[StoutWolf]

I woke up Sunday morning, with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.
