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?

It’s been been seven hours and fifteen days

Sinead O’Connor. Nothing compares

"Between Marx and marzipan in the dictionary, there was Mary"

Billy Bragg The Short Answer.

When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band...

This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above

I met her in a club down in old Soho where they drink champagne and it taste just like cherry cola

Is she really going out with him?

It wouldn't take you long to tell you where to find me, to tell you where I'll be.
This little girl inside me is retreating to her favourite place.

Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as

All lyrics to Country House by Blur.

This ain't a song for the broken hearted... (It's My Life, Bon Jovi.)
Please please forgive me but I won't be home again... (Missing, Evanescence.)
We're still struggling halfway through this journey... (Nothing Stands In Our Way, Lacuna Coil.)

I've got a dream about an angel on the beach, and the perfect waves are starting to come, his hair is flying out in ribbons of gold and his touch has got the power to stun - Tonight is What It Means To Be Young

Out of bed at 8am, out my head by half past ten - Friday Night, Saturday Morning

Just before our love got lost you said “I am as constant as the Northern Star.”
“Constantly in the darkness, where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar.”

Her name is Noelle, I have a dream about her...

Long distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee.......Chuck Berry.

The world is a vampire

so no one told you life was going to be this way....

Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Sorry, another one...

Alan doesn't understand her
He only thinks in numbers

Chocolate Girl, Deacon Blue

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished,
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

Alexander Hamilton

Off work in the morning and up at the crack of dawn, all my money worries wherever I go come along.
Going Gets Tough - the growlers

Or
“For sale, dumb cunts same dumb questions”
Yes - manic street preachers

I work all night I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay

Your Mamma's yappin' in the back seat
Tell her to push over and move them big feet

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realise there's nothing left...

Ground Control to Major Tom...

We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here...

Love's a silver bullet that blows your world apart
I wanna be remembered as an outlaw honey
The boy who stole your heart

It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
And double pneumonia in a single room..

She unscrews the top from her new whiskey bottle,
Shuffles about in her candlelit hovel.

This is fun 😊

Sup up your beer and collect your fags.....

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Strong smell of calitas rising up through the air
(Hotel California - The Eagles)

Ziggy played guitar jamming good with Weird and Gilly
and The Spiders from Mars. He played it left hand
(Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie)

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the Avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
(Ordinary World - Duran Duran)

A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
(Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits)

We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick but the crowd called out for more
(A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procul Harum)

Father wears his Sunday best, Mother's tired she needs a rest. The kids are playing up downstairs.

Good morning miss. Can I help you son? Sixteen today and up for fun.
