Greatest Opening Lines to a song

[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 ;-)

[BlueMoonRisin’]

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".
