Greatest Opening Lyric Of Any Song

[bluebc]

Waiting the hour destined to die , here on the table of hell

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

“I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving,
England is mine, it owes me a living”

Whatever you think of the man, Morrissey’s words are on another level to anyone else.

I’m sure MES will agree

Young bones groan and the rocks below say “throw your skinny body down son”

i was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you, from doing all the things in life you’d like to.

The rain falls hard on a humdrum town, this town has dragged you down.

Wanna tell you story
About woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Fourt'two thirt'ninefiftysix
You could say she's got it all

I never met a woman like that.

 

[The Black Shed]

Arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts and pricks.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

‘ I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapour trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
It was the strings of my guitar...’

Amelia, it was just a false alarm.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Im here in the fields..........I fight for my meals.............. I get my back into my livin

I dont need to fight..........to prove Im right.............I dont need to be forgiven......yeh yeh, yeh yeah, yeah

Who’s that then?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I got a barmaid from Saint Helens in the back of me Vauxhall Viva
She had massive melons and I wanted bang her beaver.

 

[Magicpole]

Arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts and pricks.

Is that Jerusalem?

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Ye know the day divides the night,
Night divides the day.

Great thread, totally subjective but thought provoking....

They’re just my thoughts not actual lines.

I always love an opening line that punches you. Could be the delivery or the music with it, but something that grabs your attention.


Mama’s in the kitchen baking up a pie, daddy’s in the back yard....
Get a job son, you know you oughta try.
