Best opening lyrics of all time


Goredho

Recommended Posts

We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee.  

 

It was the time of The Preacher, when the story began.   The choice of a lady, and the love of a man.  

 

Bet it it ain’t rainin back home.  Bet your sister’s still on the phone.  

 

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Chiding!
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb

If this has been posted I don't care, if it hasn't you all need to be shot.

 

There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for

I don't think it's been posted because that is some of the most insipidly trite lyrics of all time. Unless you're stoned out of your gourd on bad weed.

well let me get on this thread's level then,

Hey Joe!
Where'd ya find that purdy girlie
Where'd ya get that jolly dolly
How did ya rate that dish I wish was mine

Hey Joe!
She's got skin that's creamy dreamy
Eyes that look so lovey-dovey
Lips as red as cherry berry wine

I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE AND I BRING YOU.....!!!!
FIRE- I'll take you to burn!
FIRE - I'll take you to learn!

(former resident austinite to boot!)  Scared the living shit out of me when I was a kid!  

Honorable mention:
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down,
of the big lake they call gitche gumee...

I don't care if it

Rains or freezes

As long as I've got my 

Plastic Jesus

Ridin' on the dashboard

Of my car

 

I dreamed, I saw Joe Hill last night

Alive as you and me

Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"

"I never died" says he

"I never died" says he

 

 

It was back around the turn of the centuries, back around nineteen hundred & thirteen there was a negro pugilist his name was Jack Johnson. Now old Jack Johnson he was the toughest man in the whole wide world he used walk around whoppin' people up side the head 'n makin' all sorts of money.

 

 

One girl was called Jean Marie

Another little girl was called Felicity

Another little girl was Sally Joy

The other was me, and I'm a boy

 

 

Whatcha'll want me to sang this here fer?

Wha- is this evil? 'Kay then...how you pronouce the word?

Chuggamanoo, maneck caneck

Hobbalahoo cammeh

Goodbye to Texas Univerrrsity of Texas

Goodbye to Ernge and da Whi-ite lord

 

 

Look, he's crawling up my wall

Black and hairy, very small

Now he's up above my head

Hanging by a little thread

 

 

Gimme an F! F!

Gimme an U! U!

Gimme an C! C!

Gimme an K! K!

What's that spell? FUCK!

What's that spell? FUCK!

What's that spell? FUCK!

Come on all of you, big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again

He's got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonder in Vietnam

So put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

"Well, I was rolling down the road in some cold blue steel / I had a blues man in back and a beautician at the wheel.

 

Double Z Top

If you see me walkin' down the line

With my fav'right honky tonk in mind,

Well, I'll be here around suppertime

With my can of dinner and a bunch of fine.

 

 

If you’re down in Acuna and you ain’t up to feeling alone

Don’t spend all your money on just an honey that’s grown

Hold on. Are you about to tell us that "some times words have two meanings "?

Stairway is the epitome of drunken drivel. Jim Morrison would've been embarrassed to pen that shit. Really makes you wonder, no?

Good thing Morrison died in time to miss it, I guess.

how the fuck is welcome to the jungle not in here?  first lines from the first song to the first studio album for a band that practically lived the lyrics

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey we got your disease
