Northwind

Ah bellerephon, what a first line...

Carter fan North?

Another favourite opening of mine is, imagine boots marching......

crunch crunch crunch crunch
crunch crunch crunch crunch
crunch crunch crunch crunch
crunch crunch crunch crunch

Cheap holidays in other people's misery

Serious man, your f*cking Missus is nuts. My Missus is nuts 'n' all. She rings me at least 40 times a day... serious.

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax,
sidewalk social scientist, don't get no satisfaction
from your cigarette, it's ten to ten, time is running out,
lock up all your memories, get out of here, you know that we can run.

"She wore big knickers and she worked at 'sewage farm.
Got me hands down her jeans and I nearly lost half me arm..."

Macc Lads - Sweaty Betty

A true scooterboy classic, but I like Macc Lads - Beer and Sex and Chips and Gravy...

'Cleaned my teeth, put on my best clobber,
Tonight's the night I'm going to knob her
Vauxhall Viva's covered in rust,
But you can't sh@g a bird on a 29 bus'

And an HMHB one with a cycling reference:

When I need you
You’re only ever twenty-eight away
With a tailwind
I’m on Shimano Ultegra now, ain’t you heard?

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

NIck Cave, Into My Arms

"Don't ask me why
But I was walking down the streets
Of Fairfax, California
And I saw this flyer hangin'
On a telephone pole, and it said
CAN GOD FILL TEETH!" - Can God fill Teeth by Lard

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you

or

The Pope says to the atheist, in Gods name I do swear
You're searching blindly in the dark for something that ain't there
The atheist says to the Pope there ain't no gettin' 'round it
You too were searching in the dark for nothing...but you found it

or

The object of my affection
Walked off in the other direction

(not an opening line, I know, but still great)

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head.

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

I grew so old
In that house I lived in
They brought me here
'cause I can't take care

I lost my worth
And my purpose here
I feel you cry
But I can't speak my mind

Will you hold me
And never let me go
'cause I hate it when you walk outside that door
'cause I know I won't ever see your eyes
The eyes I gave you

----

Eyes dried tight gotta get myself together
need a kickstart cocktail, ten percent coffee
with a high rise family size, guaranteed to catonize

Monster Magnet always deliver:

"Me! This is all about me!"

"If you're looking for the one who f***ed your mom, it's not me!"

"Well I'm back! I've got a cock made out of platinum!"

Pete Rocks Soul Survivor 2.

The intro is amazing 16 bars at a time.

[url= http://rapgenius.com/Pete-rock-truth-is-lyrics#lyric ]even if you don't liek rap this is worth a listen.[/url]

It's the intro to the album rather than the song, is that alowed?
