Greatest opening lines of opening songs on albums?

[spacelordmother]

David Byrne - Rei Momo: "Now and then, I get horny."

[WeHuntKings]

I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napaaalm

[dase]

Young Widows 'took a turn down a one way street / took a turn to get my head on straight / talk a while to make me realise where I went wrong'

Shellac have a couple. I mean prayer to god is obvious but 'is this thing on' followed by those bass chords...

[DarkAxel]

Refused - Worms Of The Senses / Faculties Of The Skull - "I've got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break"

Technically the first line on that record + song is " They told me that the classics never go out of style but they do."

Which is equally rocking.

true

Which is equally rocking.

It's even more rocking when you include the second line. "Somehow baby, I never thought that we do too."

[D.o.S.]

And then the record just goes downhill from there basically.

[DarkAxel]

You know a lot of things i like and then hate on them yet, you never stop to surprise me

[Mudfuzz]

"we are their cattle, we are bred of,r slavery" [they live sample] napalm death - awake (to a life of misery)
"It's not my imagination, I got a gun on my back" Black Flag - revenge

also this give me a idea.

[Mute Swan]

Black Flag-"My War"
My War your'e one of them/You Say that your'e my friend/But your'e one of them
Butthole Surfers-"Alcohol"
Alcohol, it burns my lips so/Alcohol, it's a son of a bitch so
Swans-"Better Than You"
The sound of the baby just sets such a weird atmosphere for it, then once the lyrics come in "I'm so glad I'm better than you/I'm so glad I'm better than you are", it just grabs you and pulls you in
King Crimson-"21st Century Schizoid Man"
"Cats foot iron claw/Nuero-surgeons scream scream for more/At paranoia's poison door/Twenty first century schizoid man

CAN I SUGGEST YOU

GET FUCKED?

[goroth]

Come on ILF, what is this?

Churchill's speech, Live After Death.

[D.o.S.]

The Cure's The Kiss Always liked that one.

'Kiss me kiss me kiss me your tongue is like poison so swollen it's filling up my throat.'

[rustywire]

The Doors - Break on Through (To the other side)
"You know the day destroys the night....night divides the day"

The Beatles - Abbey Road - Come Together
"Here come old flat top; he come groovin up slowly"

Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me - Little Fury Things
"A Rabbit falls away from me...I guess I'll crawl"

Nirvana - Nevermind - Smells Like Teen Spirit
"Load up on guns, bring your friends; it's fun to lose and to pretend"

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - Bring Da Ruckus
Sample: "Shaolin shadowboxing...and the Wu-Tang sword style...if what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be....dangerous"

Beck - Mellow Gold - Loser
"In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey"

[HorseyBoy]

Inside a bar of a sleeping town
There lay a sleeping man, he wore a frown
A stranger woke him, he looked around
Then he spoke, I wrote it down

He said, “My climbing rope is broken,
And I cannot stay awake
Better fix it, son, no joking
For the omega day is come”

Bill Fay, "Omega Day", which opens "Time of the Last Persecution". One of the most amazing albums I've ever heard. Cool cover, too - the whole album sounds like this one photo:

[D.o.S.]

Well if that's a first line...

I hope ya flip some guy the bird, he cuts you off and you're forced to swerve in front of the Beatles' tour bus, a Bookmobile, and a Mack truck hauling hazardous biological waste - The light turns red (you have no brakes), and "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape so you can see the look on your face.
