Greatest Opening Lyric Of Any Song

[Marklr]

An earwig crawled into my ear
Made a meal of the wax and hairs.

Just read it through, interesting back story to a great song. I never thought Cohen was agreat vocalist, but like Dylan(whose voice is a bit nasal) the lyrics are so taking that it doesnt matter, very atmospheric and moving.

Reminds me of Sunday afternoons in student days eating chocolate cake and getting gently stoned whole listening to LC.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

 

[AliBobbyJ]

I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done.
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen ...
------

She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eye
And love in her heart for me.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Stand and fight, we do consider
Reminded of an inner pact between us, that's seen as we go.

 

[Innsbruckblue]

I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you…

 

[Hart of the Matter]

I went home with the waitress, the way I always do....

Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a Blackheath cell
Extinguishing the fires in a private hell

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a Blackheath cell
Extinguishing the fires in a private hell

The question is....do you understand the rest of it ??
