Best Opening Lines in Music

"Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.
I'm driving by your house though I know you're not home."

Boys of Summer - Don Henley
 
"Spare a little candle, save some light for me
Figures up ahead moving in the trees
White skin in linen, perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist..."

These Dreams - Heart
 
jeremiah was a bullfrog
was a good friend of mine
i never understood a single word he said
but I helped him drink his wine

& he always had some mighty fine wine..............

birds & snakes, & aeroplanes

& lenny bruce is not afraid............
 
some folks are born made to wave the flag

& when the band plays ' hail to the chief '

oo - they point the cannon at you, lord..........
 
"An only child alone and wild
A cabinetmaker's son
His hands were meant
For different work
And his heart was known to none"

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red.................
 
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone

Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long...
