Favourite opening line

[forglasgowonly]

I'll kick it off:
"Sonny wakes up in the morning, feeling kinda sick.
Needs a little Stoli Vodka. Needs it really quick".

[mr.barlow]

Please clean your plate dear the Lord above can see you;
Don't you know people are starving in Korea"

[mr.barlow]

Honorable mention:
I got lost on the road somewhere;
Was it Texas or was it Canada?

[concolz]

Poetry in motion:
She struts into the room, well I don't know her
But with a magnifying glance I just sort of look her over.

Runner up:
I love the dead before they're cold
Their blueing flesh for me to hold.

I'd have to have a think, but for some reason the below always comes to mind first when I see this sort of topic

"You look like you'd fit in the trunk of my car" (The One That Got Away)

Not a great album lyrically, but always found this mildly amusing.

[Daggers & Contracts]

"We still got a long way to go, We all got a long way to go"!

Honorable Mention-
"Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin"

[rodentdog]

" Mommy where's Daddy ? "

[Babysquid]

“I got a job in Atlanta in the mall playing Santa not because of any talent but because I was the only one the suit would fit”
Well if it’s not that it’s
“I love that mountain with those four big heads”

[Saint&Sinner]

always partial to "Voices come from down the hall. In my room all painted white." just sets the scene ready for the epic journey

[tuneylune]

"I wake up in the basement- I'm so hungry, I'm dry"

It really sets the mood for what I feel is one of his creepiest numbers.

[Type-O]

“I got a job in Atlanta in the mall playing Santa not because of any talent but because I was the only one the suit would fit”
Well if it’s not that it’s
“I love that mountain with those four big heads”

This is the correct answer.

An honourable mention would be "I couldn't tell if the bells are getting louder, the songs they ring I finally recognize" but that's only due to the perfect vocal delivery.

[Voodoo Revolution]

"I'm hidden in the scream when the virgin dies."

[Marcelocooper]

Hello! Hurray!! Let the show begin, I’ve been ready.


Ok, maybe somethings written by Alice:

I saw you in your wedding gown the prettiest dress
