Topic: Favourite opening lyrics
'I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand.
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.'
One of the best opening lyrics to a song. My opinion anyway.
Whats the view of other forum members?

Re: Favourite opening lyrics
This qualifies for best opening and best closing at the same time:
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot but I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl some day I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Some day I'm gonna make her mine

That would be "Werewolves of London". Brack - That's Warren Zevon off his Excitable Boy album.
Here's mine...
I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rolling #@$@# for you
Keep your mouth shut
your squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I'm busting my brains for the words....
This song came off one of the greatest albums ever produced and every song on it could be included in this thread. Anyone care to guess and comment?
Re: Favourite opening lyrics
Got to agree with this
Warren Zevon Werewolves of London - he was years ahead with this when it was released.

Re: Favourite opening lyrics
They tend to be from songs that stir some inner feelings, so much so that the very first notes, let alone line of text, tweaks at the memory reminding you of the pleasure to come.
On that basis:
1. " If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?"
2. " I come from down in the valley, where Mister, when you're young"
3. " I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever"
4. " Cats foot, Iron claw, neuro surgeons scream for more"
It certainly dates me anyway. Nothing here after 1975
