re: Best opening line in a song

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

'To seek the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honeydew
And drink the milk of Paradise...'

The The - This Is The Day

Well... you didn't wake up this morning
Because you didn't go to bed.
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red.

Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window, I'm staring while my coffee goes cold

Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload

My sentiments, exactly!

Honey don't you be yelling at me when I'm cleaning my gun.

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger

My head hurts, my feet stink and I don't love Jesus....

Her daddy lost most everything
On horses, whiskey, and wedding rings

My name is Miguel Simone
A man who walked it alone
At least that's what it says on the stone under the sycamore
-
It's many a fine lady has laid down beside me
With their flesh made of velvet and their eyes made of rain
Some tried to hold me, to hurt me, to hide me
Some turned away, not to look back again

Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
A man killed 'neath the town hall light.
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
Well, the judge said, "Son what is your alibi ?
If you were somewhere else, you won't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.




Woke up quick, at about noon
Just thought that I had to be in Compton soon
I gotta get drunk before the day begins
Before my mother starts bitching about my friends




First time we met is a favorite memory of mine
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger than time
I guess everything does change except what you choose to recall
There's a million good daydreams to dream on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all

Punk rock changed our lives

You make me come
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable
