Best opening lyric

[UNCGrad]

Seeing this go around the twitters, and thought it would be good for here (apologies if a db):



A couple of my favorites:

"The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves"

"How does a *******, orphan, son of a *****..."

 

[Songbird]

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to
the mirror and the
razor blade, today's
the day that all the world will see.

 

[Webster]

Sways

 

[Driftwood]

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

 

[Tighthead]

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, heading for the trains, feeling nearly faded as my jeans.

"All I need is a TV show ... that and the radio ... "

"I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go ... "

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way ... "

"They say that these are not the best of times,
But they're the only times I've ever known,
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes,
And I can only stand apart and sympathize.
For we are always what our situations hand us...
It's either sadness or euphoria. ... "

"Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway ... "

(Five to start with, anyway ... )

"The girl from all those songs
Who made everything feel right
She came in like an angel, into your lonely life
And filling your world with light
Oh, and everybody told you you're oh so lucky ... "

 

[Wendell Barnhouse]

I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand

 

[Wendell Barnhouse]

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.

 

[Wendell Barnhouse]

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

 

[Wendell Barnhouse]

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

 

[Wendell Barnhouse]

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me, making love to his tonic and gin

 

[CD Boogie]

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-ah!!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-ah!!”

Immigrant Song, Led Zep

 

[dixiehack]

Well before I could walk I had a wrench in my hand
I was my Mama’s little angel
My Daddy’s second chance
He went end-over-end
The first year he went pro
And he lost part of his eyesight so he couldn’t race no more

 

[Wendell Barnhouse]

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines

 

[Sam Mills 51]

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines

"Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow
Out on the street, your chances are zero ... "

 

[DanielSimpsonDay]

End of passion play
Crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear
Sucking darkeness clear
Leading on your death's construction

 

[Neutral Corner]

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht


What you want, baby, I got it


I read the news today, oh boy


Hello darkness, my old friend


Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste


There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to


Ooga chaka, ooga chaka, ooga ooga ooga chaka

 

[Neutral Corner]

It was raining hard in 'Frisco, I needed one more fare to make my night


Take the ribbon from your hair


There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Hello darkness, my old friend

Never has The Sound of Silence resonated so loudly ...
