re: Best opening lines in songs

Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses. Evil minds that plot destruction. Sorcerers of death's construction.

From this day on, I own my fathers gun. Elton John, Bernie Taupin.

Probably in most peoples top 5 albums of all time. If not, it should be.

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes through the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

WHOOAAAA

The first actual words are pretty good. "The hot summer night fell like a net".

Another hungover morning in the bottom of the Black Lagoon
Purgatory disguised as a room with a view
I used to be in heaven looking down... now I know the inferno from the inside
And you can't see out them windows
And smoke gets in your eyes
And eyes just wanna cry cry cry cry cry cry cry...


- Scraping Foetus "Descent into the Inferno"

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
And when I listened to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars, falling through your trembling hands

Who's That Girl There, I wonder what went wrong so that she has to on the streets.
She don't do major credit cards, I doubt she does receipts.
Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down

I dig my toes into the sand, the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds, strewn across a blue blanket. I lean against the wind, pretend that am weightless, and in this moment I am happy...happy

Incubus - wish you were here

Next verse is better imo

I lay my head onto the sand, the sky resembles a back lit canopy with holes punched in it.

You're the night Lila, a little girl lost in the woods. You're a folk tale , the unexplainable..

I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars

Sandman

Oh without a doubt one of my all time favorite albums.
