Greatest Opening Lyric Of Any Song

[stonerblue]

Where the streets are paved with blood

Tune

 

[01cravend]

Step in front of a runaway train
Just to feel alive again

Jose Gonzalez - Far Away

 

[bluebaja]

This is a combination of topics. I always thought the opening lines were:

She came from Planet Claire
I know she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
I met her in the Feedlot...

Apparently though, the fourth line is ' Oh faster than the speed of light' which in my view is nowhere near as good. Have a watch (lyrics start at 2:30).

 

[East Level 2]

Far from crazy pavements
The taste of silver spoons
A clinical arrangement
On a dirty afternoon

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly
You're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try
They're gonna love you
Well I've always had a deep respect
And I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic
That is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one's pink?

 

[oldhamblue]

I don't want no seven stone weakling
Or a boy who thinks he's a girl
I'm after a hunk of a guy
An experienced man of the world

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I don't want no seven stone weakling
Or a boy who thinks he's a girl
I'm after a hunk of a guy
An experienced man of the world

Fair enough but are you sure you’re in the right thread.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
And didn't know my own face

 

[Paul Moulden's Golden Balls]

Hello Darlin', I'm home again
Covered in shit and aches and pains
Too knackered to think so give me time to come round
Just give me the living room beat to the TV sound
My hard earned dough goes in bills and the larder
And that Prince Philip tells us we got to work harder
It seems a constant struggle just to exist
Scrimping and saving and crossing off lists

 

[denislawsbackheel]

You wake up in the morning, get something for the pot
Wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot
Draw on the walls, eat, get laid
Back in the good old days
Then some damn fool invents the wheel
Listen to the whitewalls squeal
You spend all day looking for a parking spot
Nothing for the heart, nothing for the pot

Me or Him - Roger Waters
