best first line in rock and roll song

[red]

Heard this on radio:

They had "I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand" as number one.

Great line and great song- not sure it's my number one- have to think about it.

What do others think?

I'm not the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan, but he had a way with words:

"In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream"...

 

[red]

That's good. Or

"We were born before the wind. Also younger than the stars"

"I close my eyes for a moment and the moments gone"

"Hey joe where you going with that gun in your hand?"

 

[MissCroft]

"Hey joe where you going with that gun in your hand?"

Yeah, I think I asked a guy named Joe that once....

 

[Butler1000]

I believe Prince had a line about "masterbating with a magazine"........

Nick Cave from Into My Arms:

"I don't believe in an interventionist god."

Welcome to the Jungle and Sympathy for the Devil come to mind. Opening guitar rifts are more memorable to me.

Me too. Mary Jane's Last Dance comes to mind...

I could offer Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple but I guess that would be hijacking the original thread so I won't.

Rolling Stones - Under my thumb, the girl who once had me down.

 

[Buick Mackane]

Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine.

Hello darkness my old friend

We skipped the light fandango

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream

I was born in a crossfire hurricane

 

[Titalian]

Love me two times Baby. The Doors. (Wonder if that's a multi sog)

 

[Buick Mackane]

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

We were talking about the space between us all

 

[thumper18474]

I always thought the line..
Babe ...I'm leavin' I must be on my way...
Was a weird way to begin a love song...LOL
but as the song progresses it makes sense...

 

[red]

I'm rolling thunder pouring rain
I'm coming on like a hurricane

 

[Bopper2]

I was raised by a toothless bearded hag.--Jumpin Jack Flash

 

[SchlongConery]

As a sucker for the nostalgia of my carefree youth I have to say my fave is "Old MacDonald had a farm... eeeee ayyyy eeee ayyyy Ohhhh"


​Really brings me back to the good old days. <sigh>

"The world is too much with you all of the time" by Steve Forbert.

Reworked the opening line from the Wordsworth poem.

"We were born before the wind. Also younger than the stars"

"I close my eyes for a moment and the moments gone"

"Hey joe where you going with that gun in your hand?"

the second one gave me the goose bumps all we are is dust in the wind I love that song. I love Jimmy too,(third song) what is the first one?

I like Ozzy's Crazy train start "Crazy"
"is their anybody out there?"
"I was travelling down the road trying to loosen my load"
