Best Opening Lyrics

[44hunter45]

In a white room, with black curtains, near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, ran down moonbeams, in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles, on you leaving, my contentment.

 

[44hunter45]

Then as it was, then again it will be
And though the course may change sometimes,
Rivers always reach the sea

 

[44hunter45]

A man walks down the street
He says, “Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard”

 

[elkduds]

Dear Abby, dear Abby, my feet are too long

When I first heard this, music got stood on it's ear.

 

[44hunter45]

Dear Abby, dear Abby, my feet are too long

When I first heard this, music got stood on it's ear.

An American treasure

 

[Tradewind]

words like violence
break the silence
come crashing in
into my little world

painful to me
pierce right through me
can't you understand?
Oh, my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
is here in my arms

Word are very unnecessary
They can only do harm


Depeche Mode

 

[Tradewind]

Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out all I can

Uncle Phil

 

[Tradewind]

I used to rule the world
seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone
sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

listen as the crowd would sing
now the old king is dead, long live the king

One minute I held the key
next the walls were closed on me

and I discovered that my castles stand
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

 

[Tradewind]

I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale
It was still September and your Daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls in the County Jail

Denny and Skunk together.

Your everlasting summer you can see it fading fast

 

[noharleyyet]

Well, I had a buddy back in '81
And we made ourselves a pact
We were headin' for the new pipeline
We were never comin' back

Well, we worked 80 hours making time and a half
But La Grange was too damn hot
We drove back home at the end of that week
And we spent it all on pot

 

[elkduds]

They all said "Louise was not half bad"
It was written on the walls and window shades

More eponymy from the beach

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long

It's the little old lady from Pasadena

 

[elkduds]

Watching meteors while coyotes howl, this came to mind.

Johnny was a schoolboy
when he heard his first Beatles song

Welcome to your life There's no turning back

 

[Charlie Bob]

My Python boots are too tight
I couldn't get them off last night
A week went by and now it's July
I finally got them off and my girlfriend cried ....

 

[noharleyyet]

Tell me , how do you feel?
Like you're rolling so fast that you're spinning your wheels?
Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
We're all trying to get along
With everybody else trying to go their way
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
Just go along until they turn out the lights
There's nothing we can do to fight it

 

[JV842]

From the halls of Montezuma!

 

[JV842]

You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back

 

[JV842]

Gotta put myself back in that place again
Well, when you're down on your luck
And you ain't got a buck
In London, you're a goner
Even London Bridge has fallen down
And moved to Arizona
Now I know why
