Greatest Opening Lines to a song

[City Hobgoblin]

I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess you could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby
Masturbating with a magazine

 

[yeseye]

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Spring was never waiting for us Dear,
It ran one step ahead,
as we followed in the dance.
Between the parted pages we were pressed,
by love's hot fevered iron,
like a striped pair of pants.

Oh darling sugar honey
When it was nice and sunny
And when I had some money
We would go and see Echo And The Bunny
…men

If Joan of Arc had a heart
Would she give it as a gift?
To such as me
Who longs to see
How an angel ought to be

[Newman Noggs]

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste"



"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"



"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold"

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

They're
Selling postcards
Of the hanging
They're painting
The passports brown
The beauty parlor
Is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
