| Post subject: | great first lines of songs |
I amused myself on the train home by reminding myself of great first lines in songs. (don't let any replies be from Artificial non-Intelligence...) 1. “I know a song that’ll make you feel better/ but this isn’t it...” The Broken Family Band: Mother of Jesus 2. “I lost 10 points just for being in the right place at exactly the wrong time” Gene Clark: Train Leaves Here This Morning 3. “I walked 47 miles of barbed wire/ I got a cobra snake as a necktie” Bo Diddley: Who Do You Love? 4. “No one wants to hear about your 97th tear, so dry your eyes and let it go uncried, my dear” Okkervil River: Plus Ones 5. “You push me when I'm falling and you kick me when I'm down/ I guess I missed my calling 'cause I should have been a clown” James Carr: Pouring Water On A Drowning Man 6. “Taumata-whaka-tangi-hanga-kuayuwo tamate-aturi-pukaku-piki-maunga horonuku-pokaiawhen-uaka-tana-tahu mataku-atanganu-akawa-miki-tora” Quantum Jump: The Lone Ranger 7. “You both made your bed and now/ You're gonna have to sleep there” The Remains: Don’t Look Back 8.” A squid eating dough in a polyethelene bag Is fast and bulbous, got me?” Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band: Pachuco Cadaver 9. “A white moon appears like a hole in the sky. The mangroves go quiet.” The Go Betweens: Bye Bye Pride 10. “No foreign pair of dark sunglasses will ever shield you from the light/ that pierces your eyelids/ the screaming of the gulls” The Triffids: The Seabirds |
