Best music opening line of all time

On a warm summer's eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us,
And he began to speak
 
Well I'm gettin' mighty tired of seein' hippies runnin' wild
And burnin' down the schools and steppin' on the flag
Things are gettin' out of hand when you read about man
Who'll burn his draft card then hang around the pool room and brag
Some folks think it's okay, but I wasn't raised that way
And I won't be satisfied 'til I've had my say
 
Trying to stick to one line:

"Mishapes, mistakes, misfits. Raised on a diet of broken biscuits."

"Every Friday at 3, shadows escape from the factories, whoa-oa" - The Matches - Audio Blood
Intro and first line are my morning alarm. Heard them for the last 10 years and still enjoy it. Never worked in a factory, but like the song.
 
Where to start???

Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games.

I hear the train a comin' It's rolling round the bend.

Load up on guns, bring your friends.

I see a red door and I want it painted black.

Sittin' in the mornin' sun.

Blame it all on my roots I showed up in boots.
