    Best opening lines in a song

    The Levellers 15 Years popped up on my Spotify and it got me thinking of the best opening lines in songs. I’m a big fan of this one and “I never was a violent man said the man at the bar with his head in his hands.”

    It got me thinking of other great openings in songs. I love Aftershow from The Courteners, which was also the first song on their debut album “The walk home from barbecue is so very long when I’m walking with you. The sun is coming up and it’s coming to light that me and you were never that tight.”

    Also, for sheer craziness I also like Wishing Well from Terrance Trent D’arby “Kissing like a bandit stealing time, underneath a sycamore tree”!!

    I’m probably going to spend a lot of time going through songs in my Spotify now!

    When I hold you baby
    Feel your heartbeat close to me
    Want to stay in your arms forever
    Only love can set you free

    The bells in Hell's Bells, was awesome live. .... not exactly a "line", but you DID mention "openings" in your OP.

    I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
    Pyjamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
    I said to my reflection "Let's get out of this place"

    “It was the biggest cock you'd ever seen,
    But you've no idea where that cock has been.
    You said you were careful - you never were with me.
    I heard you did it four times but johnnies come in packs of three.”

    This thread has got me spotifying for the afternoon.
    First one I thought of!

    “You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar"

    "hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again"

    It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank, an old man said to me"

    "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away"

    the kinks also have so many great ones. but one of the best must be my favourite artic monkeys song;

    you used to get it in your fishnets, now you only get it in your night dress.

    I can't stand it, I know you planned it
    I'mma set it straight, this Watergate

    or

    If you're havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
    I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

    or

    Well it happened years ago,
    When you lived on Stanhope Road.
    We listened to your sister,
    When she came home from school,
    'cause she was two years older,
    And she had boys in her room.
    We listened outside and heard her.

    “Loving you isn’t the right thing to do
    How can I ever change things that I feel
    If I could maybe I'd give you my world
    How can I when you won't take it from me”

    Or

    “I hurt myself today
    To see if I still feel
    I focus on the pain
    The only thing that's real”

    Or

    “Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohol”

    Libraries gave us power, then work came and made us free. What price now for a shallow piece of dignity?


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    The future teaches us to be alone, the present to be afraid and cold, so if they can shoot rabbits, then we can shoot fascists?

    Put another log on the fire for me
    I've made some breakfast and coffee

    And she pours herself another cup of coffee
    As she contemplates the stain across the wall .....
