Greatest Opening Lyric Of Any Song

[OB1]

"It's a God-awful small affair"

"Well, Billy rapped all night about about his suicide"

"Guess who just got back today?"

"Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you"


"In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream"

 

[Sir peace frog]

well , she wore big knickers and she worked on a sewage farm.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

I,m a Rebel..

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, 'cause its the one we will never know

 

[Bigga]

I thought I'd throw one in the mix (that's not the lyric!).

"Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?"

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be

 

[bigstanhibbert]

People try to put us down.

A distant echo of faraway voices boarding faraway trains.

You better stop dreaming of the quiet life cos it’s the one we’ll never know.

Particularly good, thanks

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Life is timeless, days are long when you're young

 

[citizen_maine]

Weve been fighting in the street, with our children at our feet
and tomorrow sunday worship will be gone,

Well, one of us has been singing the wrong lyrics for the last 50 years :-)
I've always thought it was
"...and the morals that they worship, will be gone"

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
