Greatest Opening Lines to a song

[Blue Mist]

For some reason I have never "got" Stevie Wonder but I love this lyric.

@ericpodeofcroydon the whole song is full of great lyrics
To find a job is like the haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use coloured people

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Ok, but what did you think of UB40..

That'll give him food for thought

 

[The Colonel]

Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty

 

[City Hobgoblin]

I'm gonna get insane. Blow up my mind. Lightnin' bolt my brain. Turn into Frankenstein. Put on a party dress. Jack off 'til I'm blind. Clean up the mess with Turpentine. Nevermind mankind. Leave it all behind.

 

[Manc baggie]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

 

[ericpodeofcroydon]

Cheers @Manc baggie and @Blue Mist I'll definitely give Stevie Wonder a second chance.

 

[Manc baggie]

Have to say, I am loving this thread.
So many amazing lyrics to remember & so many others being discovered.
Cheers everyone.

Sup up your beer and collect your fags
There's a row going on down near Slough
Get out your mat and pray to the West
I'll get out mine and pray for myself

 

[doffer]

And the first commandment reads
That human flesh and blood is sacred
Until there is no more food

Straighten Out - The Stranglers

 

[doffer]

Now that I've met you
Would you object to
Never seeing each other again
Cos I can't afford to
Climb aboard you
No one's got that much ego to spend

Deathly - Aimee Mann
