Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy, he say
He said "you ain't seen nothin'
Till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways".

How many boys, one night stands,
How many lips, how many hands have held you,
Like I'm holding you tonight?

It was three in the morning when she took me apart
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart

Lot's of great ones.
"Everyone who sees you thinks you should be smiling
That girl she's so pretty, that girl she's so beguiling
Everyone who sees you thinks you should be happy
Thinks you should coo-coo her and start acting all sappy
But it's
Hard to laugh when you know that she's been cheating"

"There must be some kind of way out of here, "
Said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Business men – they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth."

'HAS' a way with words. still got it.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"...
Well they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
Memories light the corners of my mind
A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
Memories light the corners of my mind

Not all rock and roll, but some classic opening lines in songs that come to mind...
A child arrived the other day, he came to the world in the usual way.
Early one morning while making the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down.
Breaking rocks in the hot sun, I fought the law and the law won.
Your momma's in the back seat, telll her to push over and move them big feet, every monday morning i gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency.
Jesus hangs behind the glass above venetian doors, his window box boasts crimson flowers fresh cut the day before.
I think Maggie May might be the best opening line, but someone already has posted that one.

You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs. Center of the crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs. 19th Nervous Breakdown.
