I think I'll pack it in and buy a pickup, take it down to LA,
find a place to call my own, try to fix up, start a brand new day. Neil Young, Out on the Weekend I like it because whenever life seemed like it was getting to me, this line always there to let me know there is always a way out. I don't like guilt be it stoned or stupid, drunk and disorderly, I ain't no cupid. Two years ago today I was arrested on Christmas Eve. Lou Reed, New Sensations What the heck was this guy doing on Christmas Eve? Last edited by etype; 08-23-2014 at 12:57 PM. |

Just One!?
I always though this was simple, catchy, all encompassing and therefore brilliant!...
Paul Simon's opening lyrics for "You Can Call Me Al": 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 was flying over the Delta many years ago in the late afternoon with the sun setting in the West and saw EXACTLY what he was talking about. I was so excited I almost jumped out of my seat. I'm convinced he was flying into Memphis and saw exactly the same thing and that's where he got the line. Just a gorgeous sight. Another beautiful opener in a great song is from the tune "Hearts & Bones": "One and one half wandering Jews Free to wander wherever they choose" |

Hey Willie D
I thought it was Marvins Gardens that wrote that song. At least I think that's who Buffet gave credit to on the album. |

The best opening lines of any song ever, of all time in my world is
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name He came bathed in light and splendor and glory I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me PJ Harvey - "The Dancer" |
