Best Opening Line to a Rock Song ...

When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer

Petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER



The Doors - The Soft Parade

 

Say your prayers, little one.

 

If I leave here tomorrow

 

Right ... Now!!!
I am an antichrist, I am an anarchist.
Don't know what I want but I know how to get it.

 

"Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam/And admit that the waters around you have grown..."

"Oh, my love, my darling, I hunger for your touch..."

 

I lay my head on the railroad tracks, waiting on the Double E

 

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on"

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party

 

One of the all-time greatest opening beats and first lines of a remarkable first album:

I'm hiding in the corner
Of an overgrown garden
Covering my body in leaves
And trying not to breathe

 

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
Well the South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Carry on my wayward son
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
You who are on the road must have a code that you can live by

 

I woke up in a SoHo doorway, a policeman knew my name

 

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland

 

Beat on the brat, beat on the brat, beat on the brat with a baseball bat.
