Best opening lines to a song

[MCFC BOB]

"Do you know where your heart is,
do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something, somewhere,
better just to have it."

-

"A romance to bleach the soul."

 

[Bill]

all very nice but still the op wins it.

by some distance.

 

[Pigeonho]

That Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a fucking belting tune, with a fucking belting opening line.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

A man walks down the street,

He says, Why am I soft in the middle now?

 

[Deepest Blue]

"I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it.....""

God only knows (what I'd be without you)

Brian Wilson's finest hour

Love the song BUUUUUT....

Tony Asher wrote the lyrics.

Brian ran ideas for the song by Tony who came up with the wonderful poetry.
Brian actually originally hated the opening lines as he considered them to be too negative but when he heard the following lines he allowed them to be used..

 

[BornLate58]

What did you learn at school today that's what the teacher used to say.
Name it?

 

[deedee]

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes,
We used to always meet here.
