your favorite opening line to a song

Bon Jovi - It's My Life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted (woah oh, woah oh, oh)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

The Rolling Stones: Sympathy For the Devil - https://youtu.be/GgnClrx8N2k

I really love to blow out the speakers for the opening of Peter Gabriel's "Rhythm of the Heat"

Looking out the window
I see the red dust clear
High upon the red rock
Stands the shadow with the spear

You might think I'm crazy to hang around with you. The Cars

Life's the same, I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes. Cars also

Gunter glieben glausen globen

Spinal Tap - Big Bottom

The bigger the cushion the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband the deeper the quicksand
Or so I've read


Ah Sweet Mystery of Life

Ah! Sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all



Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost


Roy Orbison - In Dreams

A candy-colored clown they call the Sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep everything is alright


Tom Jones - Delilah

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind


Randy Newman - Political Science

No one likes us I don't know why
We may not be perfect but heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Lets drop the big one and see what happens


Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music do ya ?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled King composing Hallelujah


The Stranglers - Golden Brown

Golden Brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with Golden Brown

"Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed, You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red"
