Welcome to the song

[icecoldin]

Give me your favourite opening lines to any particular song you can think of.

[Tizzy]

hmm ..... i can think of loads ... but the one that sticks in my mind in particular is ' my heart for now is a private road, no thorough fare, no heavy loads, no slow traffic, no graffic detaaaaails.........' lol actually sounds better to the moosic i guess than my singin!

[FTVS]

1) when I said, when I said, that I loved you... I lied, 2) Wishing I was skinny, wishing that the whole world knew my name 3) What's that on your head? a wig

[GreenBuggy]

I'm not a huge fan of the song - but the line as a piece of poetry sounds nice . . 'She's got a smile and it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories, when everything was as big as the bright blue sky. . ' Reflective!

[mtblrgNYC]

1. No one knows what its like to be the bad man, the sad man, behind blue eyes 2. In the day we sweat out on the streats of a runaway american dream 3. Momma and Pappa dedon just had a child 4.You were dreaming on a park bench 'bout a broad highway somewhere, and finally 5. When the road gets dark; and you can no longer see; Just let my lovethrow a spark; and have a little faith in me.

[didactica]

I think it has to be the opener from the Smiths' 'How Soon is Now: I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular

[davidjwelch]

How about "I'm sitting at a railway station, got a ticket for my desti - nat - ion hmmmmm" Wonderful!

[Andyvmax]

1) I met a gin-soaked bar room queen in Memphis She tried to take me upstairs for a ride 2) Get yer motor runnin, head out on the highway 3) It's been forever and a day since I felt like this I want a fifth of Wild Turkey, I want a little kiss 4) Stuffed my heart in a bag, slammed the back door If I get home it'd be home no more Took off runnin in the middle of the night I was aimed for anything that felt half right Look out baby I'm gone a little ride I see my name written on the centre line Moon looks good, air is cool Every bone been broken in the golden rule That should do for now...

[qwerty4]

"for I could stand a thousand trials, the strong will never fall, but watching stars without you, my soul cries" Ok its a couple of lines but still cracking Des'ree - Kissing you
