Great opening lyric lines

[redheart]

While Nat King Cole sings "Welcome To My World"
You request some song you hate, you sentimental fool
And it's the force of habit
If it moves then you fuck it
If it doesn't move you stab it

 

 

Suit of Lights...Elvis Costello

[redheart]

She said "Do these seats fold down"
I said "If you pull that handle"
All the time she'd been waiting for
Something with a little more
And all her mates on the new estates
Were walking out in confetti and sunshine

 

 

From A Vauxhall Velox Billy Bragg

[Bjornebye]

Libraries gave us power 

[cloggypop]

John Wayne was a Nazi

He liked to play SS

Kept a picture of Adolf,

Tucked in his cowboy vest

[Bjornebye]

His armband proved he was a red....

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Libraries gave us power 

That's what spooked the Tories into closing them.

Some Half Man Half Biscuit

 

They came from the conference facility, where they'd largely ignored jugs of water

 

She stayed with me until she moved to Notting Hill

She said it is the place she needs to be

Where the cocaine is Fair Trade and frequently displayed is the Buena Vista Social Club CD

 

There was one of the gang who had Scalextric

And because of that he thought he was better than you

 

I'm not really worried about this

But can someone please answer me this

Apart from on commentary, where else on Earth

Can you hear the word "aplomb" being used

 

I could have stuck my head in a bucket full of porridge

And moaned about the hospital parking scheme

 

I walk caverns and abysmals that I hope you never dream of

 

ELEVATE!!!

 

 

etc.

[cloggypop]

I don't believe in an interventionist god

[cloggypop]

Don't pierce your face, it will only look like someone has tipped a fishing tackle box over your head

 

[General Dryness]

Just as he hit the ground,

They lowered a tow that stuck in his neck to the gills,

Fragments of sobriques

[setreal]

Daddy please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet

[sh#t waffle]

Fuck me - given what happened to his son this is one of the most powerful opening lines I have ever heard:

 

[Jairzinho]

Oh, she may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness.

[cloggypop]

Adolf Hitler. The dentist. Terry & June. Fucking bastard Thatcher. Scouse impersonators.

I want to slit your throat and fuck the wound.

 

Disasterpiece by Slipknot.

 

I might write this in the wife's Valentines Day card next year.

[Bruce Spanner]

She wore big knickers and she worked at the sewage farm.
Got my hands down her jeans and I nearly lost half my arm.

[The Golden Eel]

All of your friends are cunts
Your mother is a ball point pen thief

The direct, paranoid bluntness of Idiot Wind is up there with the opening lines of The Tell-Tale Heart or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

 

"Someone's got it in for me"

 

[Chairman Meow]

Well my daddy never pulled out but he never apologised. 

[Lee909]

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

[Lee909]

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds

I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down

I went right home and I went to bed

I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head.

[Lee909]

Delia, oh, Delia

Delia all my life

If I hadn't shot poor Delia

I'd have had her for my wife

[TheHowieLama]

I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds.

[cloggypop]

I'm a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm

[stringvest]

You fucked it up

Your should have quit

'Til circumstances

Had changed a bit
