Best opening line to a song?

[quincunx]

white on white translucent black capes back on the rack

 

[quincunx]

old pirates yes they rob i, sold i to the merchant ships

 

[quincunx]

my daddy was a bankrobber but he never hurt nobody

 

[Bluethemaway]

A man walks down the street and says why am I so soft in the middle

 

[TueartsOHK]

There is unrest in the forest - there is trouble with the trees
’cause the maples want more sunlight but the oaks ignore their plees.

 

[quincunx]

hey, could you stand another drink, i'm better when i don't think

 

[quincunx]

been caught stealin', once when i was five

 

[LWashington]

I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin, my irritability keeps me alive and kicking.

 

[quincunx]

confusion in her eyes that says it all

 

[quincunx]

the atmosphere's strange out on the town,
music for pleasure it's not music no more
