re: Greatest first lines of classic rock songs

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."

This is the end, beautiful friend.

Rock on gold dust woman
take your silver spoon dig your grave

I stand up next to a mountain and I chop it down with the edge of my hand

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
