Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired...

 

First line on the first track of Elvis Costello's first album.  

 

“I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour / but heaven knows I’m miserable now.”

 

 "I was minding my business lifting the lead from the roof of the Holy Name church..."

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to visit you again

---------------

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey

---------------

Son I'm only 30, I only went with your mother coz she's dirty

---------------

It was Christmas eve babe, in the drunk tank, when an old man said to me, won't see another one

---------------

You used to get into your fishnets, now you only get into your nightdress 

---------------

All your friends are cunts, your mother was a ball point pen thief

---------------

We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels cross the floor

---------------

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now

---------------

It was one of those nights when you turn out the lights, and everything comes into view

----------------

So close, no matter how far, couldn't be much more from the heart

----------------

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone

----------------

 

 

Loads more but I'd be here all night.

Edit - sorry Pistonbroke: great minds, but you were first. Didn't spot it, sorry.

 

I reckon we'll all duplicate opening lyrics mate, so many good ones out there. 

 

In the streets of Sudan, and the gardens of Japan...
