Greatest First Lines of Song Lyrics
Most rock songs have two beginnings. After the kick-off, which is the intro, played on whichever instrument or instruments the band has at its hands, it is the moment when the artist starts telling their story. And the first line plays a very prominent role as the theme and introduction. Here are what I think are extraordinary examples, my top ten greatest first lines of song lyrics:
10) *Uriah Heep - Stealin’* “Take me across the water, ‘cause I need some place to hide ...”
9) *The Angels - Waiting for the World* “Bare-footed could-have-beens playing snakes and ladders climbing up the gravel walk ...”
8) *Rainbow - Death Alley Driver* “Rough and ready rider on a super-sonic sound machine ...”
7) *City Boy - New York Times* “Turning pages, glancing through the classified, the whole night sleep was in my eyes ...”
6) *Deep Purple - When a Blind Man Cries* “If you’re leavin’, close the door, I’m not expecting people anymore ...”
5) *Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell* “Sing me a song, you’re a singer ...”
4) *Styx - Renegade* “Oh Mama, I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law ...”
3) *Iron Maiden - Invaders* “Longboats have been sighted and the evidence of war has begun ...”
2) *Scorpions - In Trance* “I wake up in the morning and the sun begins to shine ...”
1) *Rush - Spirit of Radio* “Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive ...”
