Best music opening line of all time

[Sabre]

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

Only one posted that I know..

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 love that first hook, that grabs you and give you a smile when you hear it again.
Floyd has me every time and so does The Who, takes me to a time when instruments were played and not synthesized , with the exception of jazzy jeff.


And this one

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?

Mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky.

 

[Tony'schin]

Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing
I wanna get into it, man, you know
Like a, like a sex machine, man,
Movin', doin' it, you know?

'I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at the morning driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas'

Did he know you knew who he was? P.

To be honest, I don't know. I never started a conversation about why 'Dark Side' was better than 'Wish You Were Here', or made any reference to Pink Floyd at all. In fact, we never mentioned music. I got the impression that he was trying to place me. He must have met so many people in his long career that I could have been anyone - someone who worked in a studio, a roadie etc.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

‘Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance, oh no‘.

 

[Missoni]

Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song

Great intro. Love how Scorsese uses it as an introduction to the character of Johnny Boy in Mean Streets. Beautifully shot and conceptualiased.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?

'cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.

Question - The Moody Blues

 

[Digimonkey]

'Well, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.'

I've been doing this all night in my whatsapp group!!

 

[Digimonkey]

'I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams'

I.

 

[Digimonkey]

'There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me, I got to beware.'

Indeed - a song for our times. I.
