Greatest Opening Lyric Of Any Song

[The perfect fumble]

“As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent, you asked for the latest party.”

 

[Aphex]

Not really opening but what the hell..

'The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning
I live by the river'

 

[jamesha]

“All your friends are cunts / your mother was a ball point pen thief…”

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road. Searching in the sun for another overload.

Surely one of the greatest songs ever written.

 

[Winchester]

We'll be fighting in the Street
With our children at our feet

 

[Bigga]

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
O Supermannnnn...

No...? Headphones on, close your eyes and feel it!

 

[johnnytapia]

I never thought it would happen
With me and this girl from Clapham

 

[yeseye]

“I met my love by the gas works wall..”

 

[yeseye]

Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?

 

[Summerbuzz]

I got a letter from the government the other day
I opened and read, it said they were suckas

Spoiler

They wanted me for the army or whatever,
Picture me, giving a damn? I said never.
(Public Enemy - Black Steel)

OR

They tried to tell me that my license was suspended
I got offended for a minute then pretended
That I never even got the damned letter!
Cos it's nine o'clock, on the dot, so I think I better
Scoot off to school
(The Pharcyde - Officer Please)

OR

I opened and read it and burned that man
The way that I live don't concern that man
We gon' have to settle this another way
(Brother Ali - Letter From The Government)

and about a dozen other hip hop tracks
