Best music opening line of all time

This is a great thread, with nearly every one I am going, oh bugger I know that one, i know that one and it takes me a wee while for it to come to me.
Where as if I was listening to the track I can normally get them within the first note or two.
 
Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

Now to be Frank he did a grand job but the original is better imho


But Frank said this better

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way
 
'Ooh, it's so good, it's so good
It's so good, it's so good
It's so good
Ooh, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love'


Take your pick as to the version you prefer - for myself - Bronski Beat. I.


To your soul
To your soul
Cry
Cry
Cry
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

@fatboy1971 - I'll see you - and raise you :cool:

'You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best'

Wow a bit of Nancy in knee highs

Another from an amazing singer

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn

 
Came in last night at half past ten
That baby of mine wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over, little dog, 'cause the big dog's moving in
