best first line in rock and roll song

[red]

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"

Alan Parsons had a lot of them

If I had a mind to I wouldn't wanna think like you and if I had a time to I wouldn't wanna talk to you

Gaze at the sky and picture a memory of days in your life You knew what it meant to be happy and free with time on your side

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
I use a cobra snake for a necktie

From Ian Anderson's pen.

"Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes."

Living easy, living free
Season's ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride

From Ian Anderson's pen.

"Greasy fingers smearing shaggy clothes."

Co-written by Anderson and his then first wife. She was a photographer and had an assignment to take pictures of the homeless in New York. That was the inspiration.

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>

"....and on his farm he had some chicks, the swingingest chicks I know".----Grandpa Simpson.


"I'm Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club man, I hope I will enjoy my show"----Apu, with Paul and Linda McCartney dancing in the back.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.

Did not know that.

I used to play Walk of Life by Dire Straits prior to every Maple Leafs game because the first line....
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies......
Sounds like...
Here comes Johnny singing Go Leafs Go Leafs!!

I lOve that song brother in arms but can't remember the first line.

Another song about brother's is He ain't heavy

"It's a long long road" is how I believe it starts

xo

 

[foxxxy lady]

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...

My fav song by styx is come sail away . It;s got many great lyrics about unconditional friendships
and the fond memories they have no expectations.
