Great opening lyric lines

[Baresi]

Lord almighty
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul

 

Elvis - Burning Love

[Baresi]

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

 

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah.

[ZonkoVille77]

Well I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

 

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah.

Well, it's Leonard Cohen originally..

[Rotpeter]

Asylums with doors open wide,

Where people had paid to see inside,

For entertainment they watch his body twist,

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

 

This is the way, step inside.

This is the way, step inside..

[Pureblood]

All for one

One for all

If we all join hands we'll make a wall

[Priory Doctor]

"Wherever I go,and whatever I do

I seem to spend all of my time,

trying to turn the black night, blue"

 

Wide Eyed and Legless, by Andy Fairweather Low 

[General Dryness]

So here I stand once more

In the playground of the broken hearts

One more experience one more entry

In a diary self penned

[Mook]

A bit off topic but does anyone else think lyrics look stupid written down like this?

 

You get people who go on about lyrics all the time, they do my head in, "Ooh, he means this." & "She's trying to say that.".

 

I hardly listen to them to be honest, maybe I'm missing out, I don't like poetry either though.

 

Or singers.

 

Fucking twats, the lot of them.

 

Fuck off.

[cloggypop]

So Mr. Williamson, what have you done to find gainful employment since your last signing on date?

 

FUCK ALL!

 

 

[Ginny]

She grew up in an Indiana town

With a good lookin momma who never was around

She grew up strong, she grew up right

With those Indianana boys on the Indiana night

[ZonkoVille77]

I stand accused just like you

For being born without a silver spoon

 

This is Music - The Verve

[magicrat]

Seems to me thread has morphed into great opening verses,

"Wherever I go,and whatever I do

I seem to spend all of my time,

trying to turn the black night, blue"

 

Wide Eyed and Legless, by Andy Fairweather Low

[stringvest]

What do you get when you fall in love

You get enough germs to catch pneumonia

And if you do, he'll never phone ya

[razor]

Mr Kirk, your son is dead.

[Boss]

"Right now, right now, it's time too, KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKERS!!!"

[cloggypop]

Efficiency and progress is ours once more

Now that we have the Neutron bomb

[cloggypop]

"Right now, right now, it's time too, KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKERS!!!"

If the best opening line isn't from Search & Destroy it's this.

 

[Mathewbet1]

Well, it's Leonard Cohen originally..

It's Leonard Cohen's , Full Stop

[Mathewbet1]

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

[Lario]

As I was goin' over

The Cork and Kerry mountains

[stringvest]

God is a concept by which we measure our pain

[Boss]

"Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber, wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction"

 

Mass destruction Faithless
