Greatest Opening Lines to a song

I wish people would put the band and the song

Anyway I'm suprised thus hasn't featured yet.....
There's a lady whose sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Cliff Richard Jesus was Born Tonight

As I were goin over from Beighton up to Woodhouse
To see mi dole officer, the bloody rotten shithouse
I first took out mi biro and signed a bit of paper
She says “has tha been workin? If thy has then we cant pay yer! to the first verse of whisky in the jar Everly pregnant brothers via Thin lizzy”
 
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eye
And love in her heart for me.

(shame about the 'red' bit.)
 
I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day

Oasis - Rockin' Chair
 
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lyin' still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're goin'
 
Too alarmin' now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
 
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
 
I need you to pin me down just for one frozen moment
I need someone to pin me down so I can live in torment
I need you to really feel the twist of my back breaking
I need someone to listen to the ecstasy I'm faking
 
It's too late now, it's twenty past two
I spent the night just watchin' you
I watched you dance
I watched you move
Can't breath and still I watched you move away
Now I think quite a lot
As I stare at my shoes
About all these things
That I put myself through
There's nothing to say and there's nothing to do
You're just too nice to talk to
 
Can you tell me where my country lies?"
said the unifaun to his true love's eyes.
"It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe
- for her merchandise, he traded in his prize.

"Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd.
"Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'
- it seems he's drowned;
selling England by the pound.
