Best music opening line of all time

[fatboy1971]

I have a few:-
I woke up in a Soho bar where a policemen new my name, he said you can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away.

Here it is the groove slightly transformed
Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
A little bit out of control it's cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance

Another


So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

One more then its over to you guys, heres a short one

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.

I only recognise the Floyd ones (remind me tell you about my odd encounters with David Gilmour).

I'll give you...

Pistol shots ring out in a barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall

Grandpa pissed his pants again
He don't give a damn
Brother Billy has both guns drawn
He ain't been right since Vietnam
Daddy's doing Sister Sally
Grandma's dying of cancer now
The cattle all have brucellosis
We'll get through somehow

 

[Francorelli]

No junk foods, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries, in the woods
Now I'm seeing colours, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start, a forest fire

Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off

There was a time a few years back where I seemed to bump into David Gilmour at every turn - at concerts, in fields at literature festivals. He was always very friendly and always said "hello". None of the people I happened to be with at the time seemed to recognise him, and always asked "who's that?" That's the thing about Pink Floyd; none of the band are 'remarkable' to look at (unlike Mick Jagger or David Bowie, for example). To judge by their appearance, they could be businessmen or doctors.

Did he know you knew who he was? P.

I'm only human, I'm just a man
Help me believe in what I could be, and all that I am.
Show me the stairway that I have to climb,
Lord for my sake, teach me to take, one day at a time.

The sun shines on the aluminium;
I guess this must be the home of the hitmen.

In fact, that's ALL the lyrics.

 

[merchant_seaman]

The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need

KLF! Ah ha ah ha ...
