Greatest Opening Lines to a song

Depends how you define 'best' probably how the lyrics relate.....not my fav band, but possibly my favourite intro is Marillion- Script for a jesters tear.

So here I am once more, in the playground of the broken hearts,
One more experience, one more entry, in a diary self penned.

....rest of the lyrics are just as good ;)
 
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul (soul)
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
 
Bluemoon's favourite band,
Rush - Jacob's Ladder.

The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture
 
With laughing eyes I do recall
every face that crammed this hall
and in this room our hats were hung
and words were written and songs were sung

And we held our glasses high
and we dared to reach for the sky
and we never would grow old
when we were the new boys
 
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays....

Sang Thunder Road to myself from start to end every time in the flipping MRI scanner checking my fucked up knees out.
