Great opening lines to songs...

[Yorkshire Blue]

I don’t have to sell my soul, he’s already in me

 

[EastStandBlue]

There's a circus in the town, in the town.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent.

 

[KAB]

Heroin- Lou Reed/Velvet Underground. Simple but so evocative of what smack does.

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can
'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren't quite the same

 

[Firestorm]

Bodies, Sex Pistols

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was case of insanity
Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree

 

[londonblue]

Well, she wore big knickers, and she worked on t' sewage farm

 

[Swiss Tony]

Stand up all victims of oppression for the tyrants fear your might.

 

[Mad Cyril]

The writer of that very lyric is performing in Hullbridge later this month.

Where is his helicopter going to land?

 

[dingleydangley]

It's still just the opening line, innit? If so.....

So f***ing what

 

[Napster]

Here I am

I'm playing daydreaming fool again - my favourite game

And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above

You're the one that I love

 

[Napster]

It's early in the morning
About a quarter till three
I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

I'm calm now
I've calmed down
But I'm shaking

Jesus Lizard 'Boilermaker' - it's all in the delivery

 

[Ron Manager]

Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate

 

[Benfleet A1]

Take the National Express
When your life's in a mess
It will make you smile.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Gonna break out of this city, leave the people here behind ...

 

[Rob Noxious]

Barman's name is Charlie Wannabee, cocktail shaker faker gotta be ...

 

[Greebosan]

I never dreamt it would happen to me, and sure enough it didn't.

Mega City Four.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

I never dreamt it would happen to me, and sure enough it didn't.

Mega City Four.

RIP - lovely man

 

[C C Csiders]

"Oh Mother! I can feel the soil falling over my head"

 

[Canterbury Exile]

good evening I'm from Essex
in case you couldn't tell
my given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
and I'm doing very well
