Best Opening Line to a Song


Chef Jim

Recommended Posts

oh man this is fun...so many great openers, so little time

 

"Johhny's in the basement, mixin' up the medicine"

 

"Grandpa pissed his pants again, he don't give a damn"

 

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called.....life"

 

"When I think back on all the sh**/crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all"

 

"i've been a bad, bad girl"

 

"welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend come inside, come inside"

 

'you're breaking my heart, you're tearin' it apart so f*** you"

Not that famous a song but in honor of 9/11 I will submit "If This is Goodbye" by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris.

 

"My famous last words are laying around in tatters, sounding absurd, whatever I try."

 

the last line is also brilliant:

 

"My famous last words could never tell the story, spinning unheard in the dark of the sky, but I love you and this is our glory, if this is goodbye, if this is goodbye."

When did this turn in to "Opening line to any song you can think of"?

 

:rolleyes:

 

The one I just made up in my head, I guess. I just checked. That line doesn't come till halfway through the song. My bad. I'm not crazy!

Well, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert

 

I hope you don't have to ask.... It's Johnny F'in Cash!

 

YES! I remember the first time I heard that song. I was driving down the road, and there was the profound realness to the song.

You part the waters, the same ones that I'm thirsty for.

 

Come to think of it, this is the first line of the second verse. The first is "... the same one's that I'm drowning in" which I still like, but not as much as two others from the same album:

 

Jesus wrote a blank check, one I haven't cashed quite yet.

 

And my favorite:

 

Birds fall from the window ledge above mine then they flap their wings at the last second.
