Greatest Opening lines.

[brucespanner]

Just listing to 'Pornography' by The Cure.

 

The opening line to the album is 'It doesn't matter if we all die' it doesn't really do much for those of a sunshine disposition, but it sets the tone for what is, criminally, an album which is often overlooked when talking heads run down the greatestsuperfantasic albums of all time.

So I charge you with the task of finding a greater opening line, be it music, film, literature etc?

God is a concept by which we measure our pain

The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.

 

Always loved the opening line to the dark tower series. Sets the scene to a story you want to hear.

"Okay, all you pus-sucking motherfuckers out there

It's time to win a chance to butt-bang

Your daughter's tight virgin cherry ass to caller #666"

'Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me

Sometimes I can't even see the reason why

I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'

It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die'

 

I'm in a bit of a sombre mood today it seems.

"How dare the Premiere ignore my invitations, he'll have to go.

So too the bunch he luncheons with, it's second on my list of things to do."

'I'm sick of working for a living

I'm just ticking off the days till I die

Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah...

And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth'

'We blew the doors didn't we?

Pissed in their champagne

And did a real thing didn't we?

Gave ourselves a name

And peeled away the shame

'

'Your eyes are just like black spiders

Your hair and dress in ribbons

Babycakes

In despair or incoherent, nothing in between

China white, my bride tonight

Smiling on the tiles'

Sainsbury's pissed me off earlier. My favourite razor (the Bic 3-blade disposables, top class for both face and head shaving) wouldn't show up on the self-serve (unknown item) and they wouldn't sell them to me. I said that they should just give it to me for free for the inconvenience but the tart was having none of it. C'mon lad. What is going on? You are my man there. I'm pretty upset about it. I was going to start a new thread but I know you'll sort it out.

It ain't easy being White

It ain't easy being Brown.

 

Sums up the pointlessness of racism perfectly.

Why should I blame her that she filled my days with misery. No Second Troy - Yeats. A poem about unrequited love. Great opening line.

'We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming, 'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'"'
