Best song opening lines

[Hassled]

I've been mulling over this on my way to and from work and I have 3 contenders:
"She came from Greece - she had a thirst for knowledge" (Pulp). It's so intriguing - you immediately want to know more about her.
Then "Wake up, Maggie - I think I've got something to say to you". I love the hesitancy - he knows he should end things but he doesn't really want to. You can picture him mulling things over while she's asleep next to him.
And then there's "Now that you're out of my life I'm so much better." (Survivor). It's so emphatic, such a clear, confident statement. There's no hand-wringing nonsense - Beyonce is just stating a fact. As a way to open a song it's pretty damn good.

What have I forgotten? What's better?

I tried to kill the pain but only brought more

Not the opening line but “come back strong with fifty belly dancers”

I was only seventeen when she looked at me that way. Seems like yesterday.

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down

"Since you've been gone, I wanna know, have I been on your mind, cos I know I was for a while - Blossoms. Fab video too.

@Benjaminbuttonschild you beat me to it!! 😂

I just died in your arms tonight

I can feel a new expression on my face, i can feel a glowing sensation taking place.

Met a woman, she had a man
Couldn't help it, I had a plan.

Met a girl, thought she was grand. Fell in love, found out first hand. Went well for a week or 2, then it all came unglued.

Puddle of mud

Looking out, in the morning rain

Give me back my broken night -
my mirrored room, my secret life;
it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture

I’m sick of working for a living; I’m just ticking off the days ‘til I die

I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn’t wake a baby, on the self-same face that wouldn’t let me sleep

They found us in a courtyard, at our table in the shade. We toasted our last few moments, and then the end came...

Only the very young and the very beautiful can afford to be so aloof

War Baby. TRB

Lucky lucky lucky me!

It's in an advert at the mo. I just love it but no idea who sings it.

Good for topping up the gratitude

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
