Best First Lines of Songs

[Tall_James]

I was listening to an Internet stream of this station out of Martha's Vineyard that I enjoy and I hear Fiona Apple coming out of the speakers, breathlessly admitting...

"I've been a bad, bad girl..."

That first line is so hot. Always make me think of nasty things and that video she did for the song.

Any other favorites out there?

So you thought you might like to,
Go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes,
You'll just have to blow your way through this disguise.

flame on as to how lame PF is, but when this came out, it was a study in non PF fans getting hit with this Rock Bombast, and hardcore PF fans going, what the fuck is this? Roger waters is Doing a Musical-type Intro? But we spent that year listening to that fucker, and you couldnt get it off the radio, and i dont mean the so overplayed i never wanna hear em again another brick and comf. numb, i mean Mother and Goodbye Blue Sky and the Stygian depression that is Nobody's home and Waiting for the Worms.

Wow i can turn a request for an album line into a fucking thesis. F+

To Mike the teacher, a quick note, sorry, but:

(more than 1 line but adds to Mke's thoughts)

Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

Damn your chest-beating just you stop your screaming / Splitting through my head and swinging from the ceiling / Move it over Tarzan can't you see I'm bleeding / I've called you by your first name good lord it's me-Jane

When you're back in your old neighborhood / The cigarettes taste so good / But you're so misunderstood / You're so misunderstood

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
