Favorite opening lines of Rock n Roll Songs...

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there,
Why should we even care?

Iron Man Black Sabbath
 
Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.

King Crimson
 
"Come on feel the noise, Girls rock your boys. We'll get wild, wild, wild! Wild, wild, wild!"
Quiet Riot- Cum On Feel The Noize
 
I come awake
With a gift for womankind
You're still asleep
But the gift don't seem to mind

Ian Dury & the Blockheads

Destroy your safe and happy lives
Before it is too late
The battles we fought were long and hard
Just not to be consumed by rock & roll
Rock & roll

The Mekons
 
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
out at you from their hiding place
like acid and oil on a madmans face
his reason tends to fly away

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
 
Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six
 
In the dark who can see his face?
In the dark who can reach him?
He hides like a child
He hides like a child
Keeps his finger on the trigger
He can't stand the day
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights

Richard & Linda Thompson
 
I could do this all day, but I have to get some work done.....

Speaking of XTC, and awesome bass lines......

Never been near a university,
Never took a paper or a learned degree,
And some of your friends think that's stupid of me,
But it's nothing that I care about.

Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun,
And of mathematics well I want none,
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing,
And that's I love you.
When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.

The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door.
 
Yesterday (Lennon-McCartney)

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

(I might as well just copy the beattles Discography)
 
Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, it's gonna break the speed of sound .....Deep Purple
 
Simply irresistible
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine, there's no other way to go

Robert Palmer
 
In the morning I'm the sun
In the evening I walk on three legs
I've time to kill, some people as well .......Severed Heads
