Greatest Opening Lyric Of Any Song

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Johnny's in the basement

Other than me obviously choosing a Smiths lyric, that would have been my choice

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Grand piano
Reed and pipe organ
Glockenspiel
Bass guitar
Double-speed guitar
Two slightly distorted guitars
Mandolin
Spanish guitar and introducing acoustic guitar
Plus, tubular bells

 

[Tuearts right boot]

As I walked through that hospital door
I was sewn up like a coat
I got a smile from the bite of the wind
Watched the fresh fall of snow

 

[beehive_bob]

Oh darling sugar honey
When it was nice and sunny
And when I had some money
We would go and see Echo and the Bunny

Men.

Reflections in a flat - Half Man Half Biscuit

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

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

 

[denislawsbackheel]

“Life's like that isn't it?
Only the other day I was walking in the West End
And suddenly I was set upon by hordes of fans and admirers who wanted to touch my clothes...”

The Sound of Music - The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton I must've played 'em all...

 

[Saddleworth2]

Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources
Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten
Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge
Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole
Dawn of thought transferred through moments of days undersearching every feeling
Corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with purpose
Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructor's sharp
And tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance
Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused
Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing
Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean
Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many
Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age, as the links span
Our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting

that is the first line.
it gets a little more complex after that.

 

[Out on blue 6]

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words I've never heard, too hard to say

 

[discopop]

Ok I know I have already posted but this is also a great opening

I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from Clapham
