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

[cookiemonster]

The finest opening line ever -

'Does it matter if we all die'

 

[Crankarm]

Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.​

 

[Crankarm]

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?​

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Oh come on, people - it has to be either:

"The taxman's taken all my dough / And left me in my stately home / Lazing on a sunny afternoon"

Or...

"I never thought it would happen / With me and the girl from Clapham"

 

[graham56]

Get up in the morning
Sleeping for bread sir
Sold out to every monk
And beef head

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

 

[Flying_Monkey]

British rock?

 

[dragon72]

"when they kick at your front door..."

happier?

 

[Haitch]

"Right lads, we all start when the drum machine starts"

 

[Bay Runner]

We all came out to Montreux

 

[Crankarm]

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try .....

[threebikesmcginty]

"I never thought it would happen / With me and the girl from Clapham"

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham

Is that the winner then?!

 

[Lardyboy]

"Turn off your mind, relax,
and float downstream."

 

[Bandini]

Love the Jam. I like the opening lines to this:

And the video - reminds me of being in service stations in the early hours, feeling messy, in the early nineties!

Many people tell you that they're your friend
You believe them
You need them
