Greatest Opening Lines to a song

[Blue Mist]

Or....
Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs then he was a she

They said hey baby
Take a walk on the wild side

 

[Mancitydoogle]

It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

 

[Manc baggie]

Or -
Well I'm standing by a river
where the water doesn't flow
it boils with every poison you can think of
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
oh no, this is the road to hell....

It’s a great track

 

[jitsubluedan]

“The problem is all inside your head”
She said to me
“The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free…”

 

[Kinkybyname]

what kind of fuckery is this?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Well she wore big knickers n' she worked on't sewage farm.
I put me hadn't down her jeans n' I nearly lost half me arm...

 

[johnny crossan]

Busted Flat in Baton Rouge

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Breathing, all creatures are
Brighter then than brightest star
You are by far
You come right inside of me
Close as you can be
You kiss my blood
And my blood kiss me

 

[Marklr]

Dum dum dum, dee dee dum dum.
Dum dum dum, dee dee dum dum.

 

[normskih]

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

 

[york away to this!]

God told me to skin you alive...

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I found a new religion yesterday, I'd just cleared immigration JFK
a priest got in a cadillac, the shoe shine boy sang gospel
as God and his accountants drove away.
You'll see him coast to coast on live tv, in a stadium
rocked by Satan just the night before
the collection from the faithful is tax free
it'll pay for his presidential campaign and his yacht

 

[fanatic1]

“The problem is all inside your head”
She said to me
“The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free…”

Is it "There must be 50 ways to fuck your mother?"

 

[jitsubluedan]

Is it "There must be 50 ways to fuck your mother?"

You may well have ruined that song for me forever

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Punctured bicycle, on a hillside desolate.....

 

[yeseye]

Hello? (Hello, hello, hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me..

 

[Kakhaber The Great]

Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken...

 

[chesterbells]

Antiques!
Every other sentiment's an antique
As obsolete as warships in the Baltic
I'm driving on a straight road it never alters
And the radio serenades but doesn't falter
You offer infrared instead of sun
You offer paper spoons and bubble gum


"Faron Young" Prefab Sprout

Thanks for putting the song and artist on your post ;-)

Punctured bicycle, on a hillside desolate.....

Good lyrics.

My favourite line is - "Why pamper life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat".
