Favorite opening lines of Rock n Roll Songs...

[babeba67]

Have you ever been listening to the radio and a song comes on and the first line of the song grabs your attention and makes you think...those are great opening lyrics to a song!

Today I heard "It's only Rock n Roll but I like it" by the Rolling Stones and I realized just how much I enjoy the opening lyrics even though I've heard it hundreds of times before, I never get tired of it...

"If I could stick my pen in my heart, And spill it all over the stage;
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya, Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strayayange"

Curious to hear from fellow AK members your favorite opening lines to songs. I know there are lists like this on the net, just wondered what our group has to offer.

Either Chuck's or the Stones version works for me -

They say the joint was rockin'
Goin' round and round,
Yeah reelin' and a rockin',
What a crazy sound,
Well they never stop a rockin'
'till the moon went down.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Come inside. Come inside.
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass, be careful as you pass.
