Greatest Opening Lines to a song

[nijinsky69]

I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion, baby to erase you
Face down in the boulevard yet I couldn't face you

 

[bluechippie]

I have a mansion
Forget the price
Ain't ever bin there
They tell me it's nice

 

[Manc baggie]

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for the runaway bus
'Cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologising
For the things you've never done
'Cause time is short
And life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called Malice

 

[Manc baggie]

I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody Knows me
Even though I'm always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn't care

 

[Manc baggie]

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city

 

[Manc baggie]

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said "you are a lady"
"Perhaps" she said. "I may be"

 

[Luddite_Blue]

She stayed with me until she moved to Notting Hill
She said it was the place she needs to be
Where the cocaine is fair trade, and frequently displayed
Is the Buena Vista Social Club CD

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

The opening riff to die for

Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover

Something in the way She woos me don’t want to leave her now

You know I believe in how

 

[glauberbertistossedshirt]

When I think back on all the cr*p I learned in high school, It's a wonder I can think at all

Kodachrome, Paul Simon

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody Knows me
Even though I'm always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn't care
