Is there a better opening line in british rock than...

"Saturday's boys live life with insults, drink pints of beer and wait for half time results"

 

[Mark_Robson]

"A police car and a screaming siren -
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete -
A baby waiting and stray dog howling -
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking"

The Jam

 

[Yellow Fang]

Murder on the terraces,
Fools in high places,
It's all so sickening,
And we're so satisfied.

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

 

[Norm]

Well you can't run away for ever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start.

Definitely not The Jam. Or British. But still a cracking opener, IMO.

He joined up to get a job,
And show he wasn't scared
Swapped scout hat for Army cap
he thought he'd be prepared
at the age of 17 he was forced to choose
at the age of 21 he's in catch 22

Freddie? " I want it all".

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
about nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

From The Jam to SLF.......class
You know there ain't no street like home
To make you feel so all alone

I'm the baby's got to burp
I'm the kid with kicked out teeth

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE!!
AND I BRING YOU
FIRE!!


...No, wait, British did you say??

Doesn't matter, I went from SLF to Green Day (but Green Day were influenced by SLF and the Clash - so that's ok)

Aaaaaaaghhh Aaaaah!

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land,

To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming!
