Best music opening line of all time

'In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan
Every woman, every man'

I take Ian Dury ,and raise you some bad manners

Wet winter left me cold and crying,
Beaten black and blue,
Someone said there's no harm in trying,
Nothing else to do.

[Digimonkey]

'Rumour spreadin' 'round
In that Texas town
About that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range
They got a lot of nice girls.'

Do you like John Lee Hooker? - I can see you do. Have mercy. I.

 

[Digimonkey]

'Me siento lleno de alegría,
Por tener en estos momentos,
La oportunidad mas bella de mi vida,
Ya que en nombre del Sindicato Único de Trabajadores
De la Música del Distrito Federal,
Vengo a ofrecer a ustedes nuestro cariño'

Obscure I know - the Mexican Institute of Sound - whatever the Spanish is for bangin' - this is it. - I.

There's a man I meet, walks up our street
He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never thinks to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a Sunblest bag
The children call him Bogie
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her Dignity

Deacon blue, not their best work but i love the start of this song

 

[fatboy1971]

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says, "get a job"

Piano work is amazing

 

[TobyC]

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

 

[TobyC]

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all

 

[TobyC]

Well now see,
C. C. Rider,
Well now see,
See what you have done.
Well now see.
C. C. Rider,
Well now see,
See what you have done.
Well you made me love you woman,
Now your man has come.



Well, the news of the saucer been a-flyin' around
I'm the only one to seen it on the ground
First thing I seen when I saw it land
Cats jumped out and they formed a band

 

[TobyC]

Put on your red dress, baby
Lord, we goin' out tonight
Put on your red dress, baby
Lord, we goin' out tonight
And-a bring some boxin' gloves
In case some fool might wanna fight

 

[TobyC]

A black tow truck with the headlights on
A-there's a slow procession 'cross the graveyard lawn
Walked up to the back of a Coupe De Ville
With a rock and roll singer sittin' at the wheel

 

[Paul L]

Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma
After the service, when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell and touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream
A place to stay, enough to eat
Somewhere, old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
And what's more, no one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore
Night after night, going 'round and 'round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed

It was the third of September (Wawawawawawawawawawa)
That day I'll always remember
Cus that was the day
That my daddy died

'A great philosopher once wrote - naughty, naughty, very naughty.'

'Anybody got any Vera's? - Luverrly.'

A misspent youth should be just that.

'As he's kotcheled in the corner, laughing by the bass bin.'
