Post some of your favorite opening lines to songs

They call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad

Stormy Monday - T Bone Walker
 
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

Guns of Brixton - The Clash
 
"I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled"
 
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel, city of night
City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, come on

LA Woman - The Doors
 
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America

L'America - The Doors
 
Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol

 
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker

Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
 
He's had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He found a place in his mind
And slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
I'm free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Beyond the realms of death - Judas Priest

 
Achtung
Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte
Über den schweinköpfigen Hund
Und den lieben Red Baron
 
Me, your mama and some other whore
Floatin down the river on a shit house door
Gonna tie my pecker to my leg, to my leg
Gonna tie my pecker to my leg
 
Well everything's a little bit complicated...
Quality of life's got me down...
Sex is cheap and talk is overrated...
Me and the boys are still workin' on the sound


Sturgill Simpson: Life of Sin
 
I got home from Wichita a couple days before I thought
Didn't recognize the truck parked in my drive
My boots hit the hardwood floor
Busted through the bedroom door
Guess I must've caught you by surprise
By the time he got his buckle on
I hit the safe and grabbed my gun
You were beggin' me with tears in your eyes
Screamin', "Baby, let him go, you don't want that on your soul"
I said, "A man is gonna die tonight"

Matt Mason: E
 
“If you've got love in your sights, watch out. Love bites.”

Def Leppard - Love Bites
 
“No promises, no guarantees
When you come down here
You're already on your knees
You want to ride White Lightnin'
Then sign your name
If you want to dance with the devil
You gotta play his way, play the game
You gotta taste that sweetness
Cause you can't say no
But are you ready for the nightmare
When you can't let go
Like a soldier of fortune
When the money runs dry
You got rivers of bitter tears, in your eyes”

Def Leppard - White Lightning
 
“Midnight, and Imma waitin’ on the twelve o’ five… hopin’ it’ll take me just a little farther down the line.”
