Best opening lyric in a song...

Posted by: rocketboy on 18 June 2006

My friend Brian and I have had this going on for years now...

What is the best opening lyric in a song...?

So far, in my opinion, the nod goes to Elvis Costello...

'One day you're going to have to face a cold, dark truthful mirror and it's going to tell you things I still love you too much to say'

Oh no. What a dreadful prospect.

Well my friends are gone,
And my hair is grey.
I ache in the places that I use to play....

Here's three that I've seen BB deliver many times, all fantastic openers although the biggest cheer in How Blue Can You Get? is always in the middle!

"Well now, it's 3 o'clock in the morning and I can't even close my eyes."

"I've been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met."

"I think I'm going to give up living and go shopping instead."
