[Closed] don't know if this has been done but ..... favourite opening lines to songs

"masturbation saved my life"- Femtex by Therapy

Son, I'm thirty
I only went with your mother cos she's dirty

It doesn't get any better than the Lyrical genius of Mr Shaun William Ryder

I wrote this song 2 hours before we met...
I didn't know your name, or what you looked like yet.

Jarvis Cocker, Pulp - Something Changed.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste

"And now, the purple dust of twilight time.......steals across the meadows of my heart."

soppy git.........

"The world is f***ed, and so am I" Stop if you're killing me by Therapy?

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you’re here
Brighten my northern sky

"She stayed with me until she moved to Notting Hill,
She said it was the place she needs to be.
Where the cocaine is Fairtrade, and frequently displayed
Is the Buena Vista Social Club CD."

"forgive me if I'm out of order- this new music has no soul"
Penny dreadful by Skyclad

"Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no-one notices the contrast of white-on-white"
would be one, or possibly
"Come gather round, a$$holes, chop me a line. I'll tell you the tale of a good friend of mine"

"When the people of the country have forgotten how to disagree,
The national economy is said to be 'OK'.
The wages that you get will help you to forget,
Will you keep your ideologies or throw them all away?"

This seems a good moment to make my first post

I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, and it owes me a living

Damn good choice Sir.
Welcome to the madhouse 😀

"Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk"
(Neil Diamond)

The first song lyrics that made me think as a kid. Maybe corny nowadays, but still has a place in what I feel is important in life.

You didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed,

you were watching the whites of your eyes turn red.

Thats pretty damn good for a first post Snowy! 😀

I was going to suggest something else, but binners has the clear winner

"My new house..."

Anyone here call themselves a Mancunian?

"When we were young nobody died
And nobody got older
The toughest kid in the street
Could always be bought over"
When we were young - Whipping Boy

[b]Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew.
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
And Titania, Neptune, Titan.
Stars can frighten[/b].

Sin sinners, I got to talk to you about your sins
Sins on street corners, Sins in your shops
Sinny Sin Sins in your streets of yours
Sins in your eyes, sins gonna make you cry
Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins?
Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
There are no Sins like sins.

I was raised in a pentecostal Church of God
My father was the deacon, he used to stand preaching
I used to to steal collection, I used to catch a beating
Forgive me Lord, I knew not what I did
I was just a kid, trying to hustle up a quid
Feeling kinda ashamed, riding in the Church right
Bible in my hand, dressed in my sunday best.
Reach a Churchyard and I'm feeling depressed
I'm in the midst of the well-dressed, talking 'bout singing, singing
thanks and praise to the king of the Jews
And I'm all confused, 'cos I can't see the sense
Why should I turn the other cheek and get beat?
Ain't no peace without war so who am I?
The faster drives benz, got me looking to the sky
singing soon, very soon, we gonna see the king
Soon oh, very soon, we all gonna be blamed.

Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
There are no Sins like sins.

Woke up one Sunday, feeling kinda raw
I said "Dad, I don't really want to go Church no more"
Soon as I said shit, I felt a slap to my jaw
He said "Son, as long as your living under my roof
Your gonna heed my interpretation of the truth
And the truth is right here
It's written in this book the Holy Bible
It's the key to survival so you best heed the word"
He said, "Do as I say, not what I do
And you'll see, goodness will follow you"
begrudgingly, I ironed my shirt, polish my shoes
Went to Chruch and I took in their far-out views
with their strange perceptions of Heaven and Hell.
To this very day I still fight down their spell
'Cos all that we pray, we still stay poor
With that leaky roof dripping on the front room floor.

Sins gonna make you cry
Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins?
Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
There are no Sins like sins.

Please don't get me twisted, I'm far from a heathen
This is just a simple song of basic rhyme and reason
It's not my meaning to demean or blaspheme
But most things in the Bible ain't as plain as they seem
Can I trust King James to translate these papers?
Do I need a middle-man to link with the creator
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Church band plays, now I'm spending my pound
Looking for a short-cut to the road to Zion
We can't fool God, but we wasting time trying
Two third of the truth is yet to be told
Two thousand years of corruption soon unfold

Sins in your eyes, sins gonna make you cry
Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins?
Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
There are no Sins like sins
