On That Note: I Got a Line on You

[cyclones500]

This week, we explore favorite opening lines (lyrics) to songs.

Please limit it to the opening sentence or, at most, first “complete thought.” There’s a little gray area, but we DON’T want an entire verse (for example).

Include the lyrics with your sound clip.

"On That Note" is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: Our State Fair

A couple of tracks to get it all started.


“Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.”




“The ashtray says you were up all night.”

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Oh, my, God, Becky / Look at her butt..."

 

[pourcyne]

Hey, hey, Mama, said the way you move gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

"Hello darkness, my old friend..."

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left

 

[pourcyne]

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city

 

[pourcyne]

Been a long time since I rock and rolled...

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

"Dearly beloved / We are gathered here today / To get through this thing called "life."

 

[pourcyne]

Well, I never been to Spain, but I kinda like the music.

 

[pourcyne]

Hey, well, I'm a friendly stranger in a black sedan, won't you hop inside my car?

 

[matclone]

I lost 10 points just for being in the right place,
at exactly the wrong time.
I looked right at the facts there,
but I might as well have been completely blind.

 

[pourcyne]

Guess I got what I deserved.

 

[cmjh10]

Let’s go girls

 

[pourcyne]

If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?

 

[MeanDean]

I used to be disgusted
But now I try to be amused

 

[pourcyne]

You could be my silver spring.

 

[pourcyne]

I'd like to live in a wigwam.
